This is the elephant I made. -- Questo è l'elefante che ho fatto io. |
I am really enjoying a Secret Sister swap I joined on the
Craftsayings forum way back in January. This cute little towel elephant is one of the many gifts I received from my secret sister . I had never seen anything like this before and thought I would try and make one myself.
For my elephant I used one towel measuring 20 inches by 40 inches and 2 small facecloth towels measuring 12 inches square. Here below are the step by step pictures to follow.
Gennaio scorso mi ero iscritta ad uno swap organizzato dal Craftsayings forum. Tra i tanti regali che ho ricevuto dalla mia sorella segreta c'era questo simpaticissimo elefante fatto con degli asciugamani.
Non avevo mai visto uno prima e perciò ho pensato di provare a farne uno da sola.
Per il mio elefante ho usato un asciugamano 50 cm per 100 cm circa e due salviettine di circa 25 cm quadrati ciascuna.
Qui sotto ci sono le foto con le indicazioni passo per passo.

Turn it as in the picture - Girare come nella foto |

Fold one of the facecloth towels in half and fold the rolled towel over it as in the picture - Piegate una delle salviettine a metà e avvolgetela nel asciugamano arrotolato, come nella foto. |

To make the trunk you'll need one facecloth towel and a wire chenille stem. - Per fare il proboscide serve una salviettina e un bastoncino di fil di ferro coperto di ciniglia. |

Roll the facecloth towel with the chenille stem inside, this helps to give the trunk its shape, stitch to close. - Arrotolate la salviettina con il bastoncino di ciniglia al interno, cucite per chiudere. |

Position the trunk as shown in the picture - Posizionate il proboscide come dimostrato nella foto |

Now tie the lower part below the trunk with some ribbon and add some embellishment - A questo punto legate la parte inferiore sotto il proboscide con un nastro e aggiungete qualche decorazione a vostro piacere. |
