Elephant Notes. . .

Ok guys, so here is one super easy project that is SO helpful! First of all it is absolutely adorable when it's on the wall and it also serves as a "note holder"! Ah, just a little paper clip and it turns into reminders, I just love it. All you need is some really fun scrapbook paper, Elmer's glue, and some thread. Yay yay, lets get going!
First, pick a pattern to use as your hanging objects. I picked an elephant, I love them so much!!!!!! I just went online and found one, printed it out, and cut it out to use as a template!
Trace your template onto your scrapbook paper. You are going to cut out two, one facing to the right, and the other facing to the left. That's just so that when you glue the two together, you will have the cute paper on both sides.
VERY lightly squeeze the glue around the edges. Don't do too much or else it will make the paper uneven.
Cut off any excess pieces of paper.
Now it's time to sew! Stitch a nice straight line through the middle of the elephant. Do NOT cut the thread. Pull it through about 7 inches and place another elephant to stitch. Don't cut the thread until you are at the bottom. Tie a little knot at the top of the first elephant so you can hang it on a pin in the wall. And there you are, you are done!!!! All you have to do now is add some paperclips if you wanted to turn it into reminders! But that is optional. Either way, it looks cute and is SUPER easy to make. Those are the best! Happy crafting!
Just a little more decor. . . Love this cup from Anthropologie!!!!!
