TRUNK: Use an 8″ strip of sock, tapering from 6″ to 1″. Seam wrong side out, turn, stuff and insert wire. (See tips on wiring, [page 33].) Sew to head above mouth. Insert pipe cleaner tusks (Figure 3).
EARS: For each ear cut two pieces from sock (Figure 4). Seam and turn right side out. Sew on level with highest point of trunk.
EYES: Sew on round or oblong buttons set apart. Embroider eyes for small children.
TAIL: Make a short roll of material and sew in place.
TRIM: Sew on a fringed or tasselled “blanket” of bright material. Rick rack, little bells, ribbons or beads will give a more circusy appearance.
