Newspaper Animals

I have made this elephant out of newspaper and cardboard. I scrunched up many sheets and used sellotape  to stick it down, to create the body and the head. I then rolled up some newspaper to create the trunk. To make the trunk curl, i used thinnly rolled up sheets of newspaper and stuck them underneath the trunk before rolling them up! I then drew two ears onto cardboard, cut them out and then stuck them on. Next I am going to add legs and paper mache my elephant. Then I will cover it will magazines, wrapping paper, etc!
