make the ears and tail, and then gather the remainder of the paper up as you did for the body (illustrations 1 and" 2), and then cut this long strip in half, binding each piece as shown in illustration 3; this forms the legs. Slide the legs through the body between the two layers of paper.

The tp.il is a small strip of crepe paper wound round with thread to within half an inch of the end. Cut this end into strips, and run a piece of thread between the first and second layers of paper at the back of the body of the elephant, bend the top of the tail, hang over the thread, which crosses from side to side of the animal, and then fasten the bent-over end to the tail. Cut the ears to the shape shown in illustration 4, pinching together the ends A and passing them under the thread which separates the body from the head. B is the front of the ears. For the eyes two beads are used placed on a pin and pushed through the head. Holl up two pieces of white writing paper to form tusks, pushing each end up in the head under the trunk. Do not forget to bend the little creature into shape by gently squeezing and pulling with your fingers. When this is done, Jumbo is complete—and a really fearsome-looking beast he is, too!
