Start off by finding two different colored sweaters in the same size. Cut off the sleeve of the sweater that you want to be the base color. Then cut out and sew the shape of an elephant onto the base sweater. Attach a new sleeve from the sweater that matches the color of the elephant. This is now the trunk of the elephant. You can experiment with other animals, such as a snake or monkey (we're envisioning the sleeve as a monkey tail). Don't forget to upload photos of your completed projects, we'd love to see what you come up with!
