I had looked for a cute piggy bank for our daughter for a while and I never found exactly what I was wanting. So, I decided to make my own for her one day when I found some "blank" white piggy banks during a visit to our local Michael's craft store. It was relatively simple to create, just let your creative juices flow. You can also look up "piggy banks" in a Google search and view images to get some ideas. But, here is what I did.....
Supplies:
*"Blank Canvas" piggy bank. These can usually be found at most craft stores. I know that our local Michael's, Joann, and Hobby Lobby carry them. They are not usually on sale, but that means you can apply the typical 40% off coupon to them!
*Paints that you will need for your chosen design
*Paint brush(if applicable to your design).
Instructions: These are hard - so take notes. Take piggy bank out of packaging. Get paints(and brushes if applicable ready). Get your creative juices flowing and decorate! For this version I purchased an opalescent and purple puffy paint, the kind that have the tip on top for application. I then just started applying dots in "somewhat" of a pattern and just let my creative self take the design wherever it went. This was the end result! I was fairly pleased and our daughter likes it too!
