Elephants on Parade


It is my cousin D's bday today, and in celebration of her and her love for elephants, I compiled a few of my favorite elle finds.


And because it was necessary for her birthday present to have an elephant theme, I prepared a jewelry set, designed a fun pop-up style card, and ordered a crazy elephant MNKR necklace.


I took an elephant character from stationery purchased years ago, mounted it on light blue paper, folded both in half, and glued the backs of the ears to the inside of the yellow card. When opened, the elephant sort of pops up. The front of the card also holds the same elephant character, just smaller and surrounded by rhinestones. Hand made cards are my fave.


A honey my heart set. The elephant charms are vintage brass stampings and fun with their trucks up.


MNKR crazy elephant necklace charm made with the same material used to make guitar pics. I love that the elephant has shoes on!

My favorite animal is the turtle, but elephants are so cute! What is your favorite animal?
