I finished reading Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and I have no idea what to make for my Book Club Craft! Mostly I am not sure which story I should base my craft around; I had no idea that The Jungle Book was more than just the story of the man cub Mowgli and all the stories are fantastic! The White Seal might be my favorite, but Toomai of the Elephants is great, and how can you not love Rikki Tikki Tavi?

Now that I have shown you some Jungle Book-esk vintage photos here are some ideas and links to things I could make for my Book Club Craft:
  1. A Molded Light Switch Plate from Apartment Therapy in a silhouette of an Indian Elephant.
  2. Or made out of fusible beads like this Robot Light Switch Cover by 14m neon.
  3. Magnets out of fusible beads in the shape of the animals.
  4. Finger puppets for the characters in Mowgli's stories.
  5. Cobra catnip toy. Winslow can be like Rikki Tikki!
  6. Something else.
What should I make and what are you making?
