• Fold the fabric in half along the seamed edge and then in half again to form a square.
• Using a 36" piece of string with a pencil attached to one end, hold the sting at your folded corner and make a circular mark at the raw edges.
• Repeat this procedure with a 3" string to create a center circle for the trunk opening.
• Leaving the fabric folded, cut along your pencil lines.
