DIY Piggy Bank

A great piggy bank you can make at home with your children with recycled items and some paint!


What you’ll need:

  • Empty mayonnaise jar (plastic)

  • Pink paint

  • Black bottle caps (or paint them black)

  • Scissors

  • Glue gun

  • Pink felt or foam paper

  • Black marker


Easy Steps:

  • Lay the jar on the side and cut out a slit

  • Hot glue the bottle caps to all four sides of the bottom of the jar for the legs and paint black

  • Paint the jar and lid pink

  • Once the paint is dry, draw eyes on the jar

  • Cut out triangle ears from the pink foam or felt and hot glue on either side above the eyes

  • Seal the jar to attach the nose and draw two holes for the nostrils

  • Swipe the scissors down a strip of felt to curl it and hot glue to the end of the jar for the tail
