Milk bottle Elephant

 

 

 

 

I absolutely love elephants they are my favourite animal and these particular elephants were made afew months ago for a science project at school on elephants- where my love for elephants began!

Though these are incredibly simple and very easy to make I still decided to put them on my blog for the viewers who may be children, have children or just love elephants and using recycled materials like I do.

 

Just a few facts about them…

 

• I decided to not paint them  too neatly and instead with curves and slightly rough as I like the texture and it makes them more unique (not that milk bottle elephants aren’t unique).
• I used two different types of milk bottles, a really small one and a really big one, even though originally I wanted to make them out of 4 pint milk bottles. Which proves that even if everything doesn’t go to plan just improvise and you might get even better results and in my case I didn’t get two of the same elephants I got a mummy and a baby elephant instead!
• I didn’t know what to do with the green bottle caps and I suppose it’s abit lazy but I just put some pretty paper on top, with a elastic band, and made them look like the festival elephants you would often see in places like Asia.

 

Simple but effective. xxx
