Elephant Belly Box Tutorial with Ashley

I am bringing you a fun tutorial for the Elephant Belly Box.  Lori has an assortment of different belly boxes in her shop.  Find the Elephant here and at Silhouette.   And take a look at the other belly boxes.  All of them come together in a similar manner.

First, cut all the pieces.  For this Elephant I used 1 full piece of 12 X 12 gray paper, part of a pink/red paper and just one part of a brown paper.  The pink paper here is red on the other side, so while I was putting it together I decided to use the red side for the ears and feet and kept the pink for the cheeks.

I inked the edges of the pieces.  I used a tape runner to attach the accent pieces and tape the box tabs together, then I used pop up adhesive to attach the feet, face, and trunk to the box.

 

Now the box is ready to fill with a treat.

This was so fun and quick to put together.
