So we have our papier mache - it has dried out and it's time to turn it into a lovely piggy bank.
For this you will need:
Crepe Paper in chosen colour
Eco-glue/PVA glue
1 toilet/kitchen roll cardboard inner tube
Masking Tape
You can use either Eco or PVA glue for this - PVA glue dries harder and faster so we used that. Spread glue on an area of the papier mache. Apply paper strip, adding more glue if needed.
Cut the cardboard tube into one inch pieces - you should get 5 of them. Attach them with strips of masking tape. Four on the bottom for feet, one on the front for a nose.
Cut 5 squares of paper - enough to fit over the nose and feet. A thin layer of glue on the cardboard cylinders and attach:
Cut the paper into strips, 1 inch wide. Layer of Glue on Papier Mache and apply until your pig is completely covered. Attach ears, tail, eyes and smiley face! Get a craft knife and cut out your "money slot":
And now see some of our little Artists at work.....
Lots of Pink Pigs here:

The only way to get your saved money out is by cutting your pig OR smashing it...just make sure you've saved plenty of money first!
We will be taking a break from class for mid-term, but will be back in 2 weeks time for some exciting new projects to work on.....join us then!
