If you want to acquire such a hand-made article, we will tell you how to make a piggy bank of paper with our own hands in our master class.

We will need:

  1. Form from newsprint four identical parts that will serve as the legs of our pig-piggy bank. Prepare the solution by mixing the PVA glue with water in equal proportions. Dipping the paper into the solution, attach it with the legs to the tin can. If the paper is stiff and does not stick well, use an adhesive tape. At the back form a "fillet" part with a tail from several layers of paper.
  2. In the same way, form the whole body of the pig. Be sure during the work, check the mumps for stability, adjusting the thickness and length of her legs. Cut out the ears from paper, and to make a penny, use a spirally wound paper tube, attaching it to the head with tape. Further work on creating a piggy bank will continue in the papier-mache technique. Alternately, dip pieces of newspaper into the glutinous solution and cover them with mumps.
  3. After the first layer has completely dried, cover the workpiece with one more layer of paper, thus smoothing out any irregularities. For the third layer, use brown wrapping paper. With it, you can decorate the body of the pig with specks that will peer through the last layer. For the last layer, use a transparent paper or baking paper. Wait for complete drying and proceed to painting. Dilute the white paint with a glaze or a varnish varnish and cover the piggy bank. It remains to make a slit on the back of the pig with a sharp knife, and the hack is ready!
