Baby Nursery Craft for Dumbos

My friend Kristen is having a baby soon. I'm cool with it. To prove it, I decided to make her some wall decor for her baby girl's nursery--which is elephant themed. 

Step 1: Pick a nice matted frame (I found mine at Homegoods for $12 and chose espresso colored wood since her crib was a darker wood)

Step 2: Find mixed media prints like newspaper, craft paper, recycled greeting cards, wrapping paper, product packaging, etc. (I chose a lot of purple colors since it's this mommy's fav)

Step 3: Draw an elementary looking elephant on a scratch paper (this is for you to trace onto the mixed media so you can cut the individual pieces easily)

Step 4: Cut your elephant into five pieces; butt, head/trunk, ear, 2 water splashes

Step 4: Use craft glue to adhere the pieces together on a solid-color piece of craft paper and frame. Voila!


An easy tusk, that e'll cost you peanuts and she'll never forget! 

K, I'm done.
