Start creating a miracle elephant
The main and most part is torso. For its manufacture, it is necessary to remove all the extra parts with a 5 liter bottle: a label, pen, labeling stickers, etc. We make a mark on one of the sides, 4 smooth circles, you can circate the can of the diameter we need. And cut out exactly the holes. In them we will fasten the legs of the elephant.
On a note! So that our elephant was stable and did not demolish the slightest breeze, in the smallest bottles you need to pour sand or land.
Exactly insert them into a large bottle. So that they were immobile and not shifted constantly, fix glue.
From the top of the middle 2 liter bottle, cut the ears. Cut can be on the eye or make small sketches with a marker. See only the ears are proportional to the body.

In a large bottle, at the top, make cuts for the ears. We install them and can also be fixed.
The workpiece is ready, it remains to include fantasy and paint our elephant.
Cooked in advance lace cut to the length of the length. We make a small incision for fixing and insert the tail. The tip of the tail can be fluffing a little like an elephant.
In this embodiment, the trunk serves us a plastic heater with wire inside. If suddenly the insulation does not turn out to be at hand, you can use the foam of the desired form or cut.
Turn on creative abilities
Now we can proceed to the creative part - an elephant mural. An ideal option will be acrylic paints. They must be applied several times, each layer must be dense. After applying each layer, you can dry a bit, otherwise you can do not scrolling spans. More conveniently and evenly applied paint with foam rubber.
We still leave our elephant alone, until complete drying. And draw the feature of the face and we follow the rest of the body.
There is no fantasy to come, add different colors and decorated as soon as you wish. In case of lack of ideas, see our option in the next photo.
We are waiting for complete drying and cover the entire craft of facade varnish, preferably several layers.
We decorate the elephant with various decorations and decoration elements.
Such an elephant will always delight you and children anywhere. And the most pleasant things that without much difficulty and costs can be easily made with your own hands!
