Brushes
Pink felt
Paint pens
Change
- Paint all the caps pink (figure A) or your chosen color with the paint pens. Let dry.
- Decorate the bottle with paint pens or acrylic paint, as you like. Let dry.
- Once the caps are dry, hot-glue them to the side of the bottle for legs (figure B). (Glue the side of the cap on for taller legs.)
- To make the ears, cut a pair of triangles out of felt or paper. Fold one edge of the triangle up, creating a flap. Cut a slit in the middle of that flap. Bend the ear in, overlap the flaps (figure C) and glue together. This makes the ear 3-D so it will stand up.
- Glue on googlie eyes.
- Carefully, using the tip of a pair of scissors, poke a small hole in bottom of the bottle for the pipe-cleaner tail. Wrap a pipe cleaner around your finger to curl it (figure D) and glue it in.
- With the help of an adult, cut a slot in the top of the bottle for change to feed the piggy.
Tip: Always have an adult supervise when you use hot glue and sharp tools. All products can be purchased at craft and all-purpose stores nationwide.
