Ele Thank You Cards
I made a ton of these for my second trip to Thailand as thank you cards to staff and volunteers. I bought different coloured postcards from the dollar store and cut out elephants. I followed the basic shape, but I did all the cutting free hand so every elephant was unique. The eye is a small circle sticker and the ear is a cut out from some colourful post-it notes I had.
