Using your chosen felt colors, trace and cut out your elephant template pieces. You'll need two ear pieces, four foot pieces, and one large body piece. Be sure to enlarge the body piece to fit comfortably around your headband.

Creating the Elephant Ears

With your ear pieces cut out, use the hot glue gun to attach them to the top of your headband. Ensure they're positioned comfortably and securely. Allow the glue to cool and dry before moving on to the next steps.

For added flair, consider adding small pompoms or tassels to the tips of the ears. Hot glue these decorative accents in place, and let your elephant headband’s pièce de résistance take shape.

Assembling the Elephant Body

Now it's time to turn your headband into a dapper little elephant! Glue the large body piece onto the front of your headband. Ensure it's centered and covering the bridge of your headband for an authentic, elephant-like appearance.

Next, glue the four foot pieces onto the front of the headband, just below the body. These should mimic an elephant's feet, giving your creation an adorable,_trunk-free_ look.

Personalizing Your Elephant Headband

Adding the Finishing Touches
