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