How to Make an Elephant Using Framelits

Supplies Used: Black Beads, Grey Pen, Glue, White Cardstock, Scissors

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Using the Big Shot machine and (#657551), die-cut a large circle and 2 medium circles from light gray cardstock, 2 small circles from dark gray cardstock and 1 small circle from white cardstock.
2. Layer one Framelits inside the other to die-cut a larger light gray circle to create a donut shape.
3. Using your small white circle, use a circle die to die-cut the circle into a half-moon shape (image 1).
4. Layer up and glue the 2 dark grey circles on top of the lighter grey medium sized circles and glue them to the larger grey circle to create 2 ears (image 2).
5. Cut the donut shaped gray circle and the white half-moon shape in half using your scissors (image 3 and 4).
6. Adhere half of the grey donut shape to the face to create your Elephant’s trunk and the white pieces to create the tusks (image 5).
7. Finally, add 2 black beads for eyes and draw little grey lines along the trunk of your Elephant to add definition.
