    Too cute. And pulling glue off fingers is half the fun

    I actually stole the idea from this forum awhile ago! Sorry I can't find the link!!

    You just cut up a milk carton to look like this- so the handle forms the trunk. And cut out gaps for legs (not done in this pic but does in finished pic)

    And then spread with glue and let them stick away!! Such fun and actually quite simple!!

    We have made them before. We use the one pint plastic bottles as we get so many a week.
