A pig has always been considered a prototype for a piggy bank. The animal can boast not only frugality, but also the ability to increase wealth.
Well-fed piglets symbolize financial well-being and health, so there is a huge range of such piggy banks on sale.
What is papier-mâché? The papier-pasche technique is based on the preparation of a mixture of fibrous material and glue. Any shape is taken as a basis, which is pasted over layer by layer with pieces of newspaper, allowed to dry and repeated until the result is achieved. A similar mixture is widely used for the manufacture of masquerade masks, theatrical props and dummies.
A real craftswoman will make a piggy bank herself, although the process is quite laborious, requiring attention and a supply of free time.
Preparatory stage:
- the main materials will be toilet paper and newspapers;
- stock up with PVA glue, which is required to form the workpiece;
- purchase a wide tape, putty, foil and an inflatable ball.
At home there is a container for diluting the mixture, fine-grained sandpaper, a reel from a roll. To decorate the piggy bank, it is better to use sponges to apply a layer of paint. And with the help of ordinary brushes, they are engaged in drawing small details.
Torso Technique:
- tear the newspaper into small pieces;
- dilute the glue with water in a suitable container;
- the ball is pasted over with newspaper pieces, which are dipped in the glue mixture;
- make sure that the ball does not deflate, its tail must be tightly tied;
- newspaper layers are laid out at least 10, as much as possible;
- the topmost layer will be a mixture of small pieces of newspaper with toilet paper, glued with PVA.
Start making legs and a patch:
- after the body has dried, the ball is pierced and removed;
- the hole is covered with adhesive;
- for the legs, the foil reel is cut into four parts, attached to the body with tape, and the joints are leveled with glue with pieces of toilet paper;
- for the stability of the pig, add a weighting agent to the legs - bolts or nuts;
- a patch is made of foil, attached in a similar way to the base;
- papier-mâché is used to form the lower lip, ears and eyes, and a wire pasted over with the same material is useful for the tail;
- fasten all parts of the body, cut a hole on the back, wait for it to dry completely.
Decoration of a souvenir piggy bank: the product is sanded and covered with putty, all roughness is smoothed wet wipe... Painted first with dark paint, then red, and pink on top. Next, they draw eyes and a mouth.
The piggy bank will become a worthy interior decoration and a guarantee of future wealth in the New Year 2019. Also, the craft can be presented as a gift by throwing a few coins to the bottom.

Papier-mâché: piggy bank
To make a funny papier-mâché piggy bank, we will use toilet paper or newspapers, acrylic putty, acrylic paints, PVA glue, a balloon, foil, a foil reel.
The first step is to inflate the balloon. Then, in several layers, we apply prepared scraps of newspaper dipped in PVA glue and water on the inflated ball, so that our piggy bank is not soft, but strong enough and let it dry.
In a plastic bucket, we will prepare a mass for papier-mâché: you need to break toilet paper or napkins into small pieces and add PVA glue. Mix everything well! We coat the future pig with the obtained "chewed paper".
When the papier-mâché frame dries well, the ball must be carefully burst and pulled out. Now we need to close the hole through which we pulled the ball out: for this we glue it crosswise with masking tape and apply papier-mâché, leaving a small rectangular hole - this will be the slot where the money is thrown.
Divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as legs for our pig. We glue the legs to the pig with masking tape. Then we apply papier-mâché. The inside of the legs must be filled with something heavy - so our pig will become more stable. Sand or a small metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.
We make a patch of foil for the pig, under which you need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).
Now we need to sculpt eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made either from the remains of papier-mâché or molded from clay.
The flexible wire will serve as a tail for the pig: we twist it, covering the tail with the remains of papier-mâché. After our pig is completely dry, it must be properly treated several times with acrylic putty and then wiped with a cloth soaked in water - this is how the pig's barrel will be leveled.
Our piggy is ready for painting!
You need to apply dark paint first, you can use several different shades... Then red paint is applied to the craft with a sponge.
Then - pink, and as the final stage - pink and white paints are applied. The last step is to apply white paint to the protruding surfaces. Our piggy bank is ready!
We offer you another version of the piggy bank, step by step which you can watch in the video:

As a product that can be easily made, a paper craft, a suit for a children's matinee - a mask and pig ears, as well as a pig in a pen, acts as a product that can be easily made. Let's consider step by step how easy it is to do such crafts yourself.Paper craft
To make such a toy paper souvenir, we need: a pencil and a black marker, a ruler, colored paper - pink or red, as well as silver, a stapler and glue, pre-prepared plastic eyes, a ribbon for decoration.
The body of our pig should be voluminous; for this we need colored paper - pink or red. We cut out an even rectangle from paper, connect the edges with glue or a stapler so that we get the base-body for our craft - a high and wide tube.
Next, we make the basis for the pig's face: we take paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our piglet, and two small triangles-ears, from the second - a smaller oval-patch. Eyes for pigs can be taken prepared in advance - plastic, or you can cut them out of other colored paper yourself.
Now you need to connect all the parts we cut out: bend and glue the ears and the patch to the head in series. Draw the nostrils on the patch, under it - a smiling mouth. Draw cilia on the eyes.
Now it is necessary to cut out the rest of the details from the multi-colored paper - for the belly of the pig, take a silver color, and red for the front legs and tail. We glue the prepared parts: we glue the long legs on the sides of the pig's body, the tail to the back of the craft, and the tummy to the front.
We tie a thin ribbon around the pig's neck and tie an elegant bow. Our pig is ready!
The finished paper craft-pig can be presented as a New Year's present, and it will also look good on a decorated Christmas tree as a toy.
You can also make such a craft out of cardboard:
Suit: mask and pig ears
It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's matinee on your own, since it does not require sewing and its production will take only a few minutes.
For a costume consisting of a patch, ears and a pig's tail, we need:
- felt or fleece pink and white,
- scissors,
- glue,
- stapler,
- paper cup,
- pink elastic band,
- thin elastic band,
- white thin plastic hair hoop.
Then we take an elastic band, fold it like a belt, attach the tail we have prepared in the middle and fasten it with a stapler or glue. We twist the tail like a pig. One piece of the costume is ready!
Now we start making a patch... To do this, take a small-diameter cardboard cup, apply a piece of pink felt to it, circle and cut out the resulting circle - this will be our patch. Cut off the top from the glass so that the height of the glass is one and a half to two centimeters.
Cut a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that you can wrap our glass. Now we glue our cut out parts to the cup: a circle to the bottom, a rectangular strip along the entire cup. It turns out to be a pretty pink patch!
Cut out two small oval details from white felt - nostrils. We glue on the patch exactly in the middle.
We make two small holes on the sides of the cup, into which we insert a thin elastic band. We tie an elastic band on each side to a large knot inside the cup-patch. We try on our nose on our head, it should hold tight enough - so that it does not fall off, but also does not press hard. Our nose for a pig costume is ready!
We start making ears... To do this, from the pink felt, we need to cut off two large pieces in the form of pig ears. Then we take our headband, glue our eyelet, pinch it and wrap it around the hoop, fix it well with glue.
Our costume for the holiday is ready!
Pig in the pen
To make such a textile craft, we need:
- empty plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters,
- plastic eyes,
- 4 plastic covers,
- a piece of light felt or felt material,
- a small piece of flexible wire
- a piece of padding polyester,
- nylon white stocking,
- multi-colored paper,
- several wooden skewers
- a roll of twine,
- shoe cardboard box cover,
- gouache in red and white,
- colorless varnish,
- hot glue,
- a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.
We glue the box on the inside with green paper, weave a fence from the twine around the glued skewers. We put acorns and pebbles in the pen, put a plastic jar - a feeder for our pig, arrange branches-trees. Our pen is ready!
Now we are making a pig from a plastic bottle: we cut the bottle into several parts - the bottom, the middle and the neck. We connect the neck to the bottom, glue it with hot glue.
Using scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the bottleneck. We wrap the bottle with a padding polyester, and also make a hole-mouth with scissors.
We tighten the body of our workpiece with a tighter stocking, cut out a hole-mouth and fix it with hot glue.
Our stocking knot on the neck of the bottle must be closed with a snout: for this we cut out a circle from white cardboard, tighten it with nylon, tighten it with a thread - our snout is ready.
On the bottom of the bottle, the knot must also be closed with a wire tail, which we pre-tighten in the area of \u200b\u200bthe bottom with nylon.
Cut out the pig's ears from light felt, glue them to the head.
We prepare the legs: we take plastic corks, tighten them with padding polyester and nylon, tighten them with a thread, fix and glue them to the pig's body with glue.
Preparing the gouache: mix red and white so that it turns out pink. We paint over our pig evenly. Apply a colorless varnish on top. After the craft is dry, glue the eyes and nostrils to the pig. Our piggy corral craft is ready!
We sew a pig from children's tights
Making such a souvenir will not take long; this will require a synthetic winterizer, children's tights or socks and a little imagination. The piggy craft is easy to complete by following the step-by-step instructions below. Ready? Then let's get started!Socks also make good piglets:
Pig ball made of thread
To make such an original craft, we need the following materials:
- pink threads / yarn,
- colored paper,
- scissors,
- an inflatable ball of a round or oval shape,
- pVA glue,
- plastic cup,
- needle.
We wrap our inflated ball in a chaotic manner with a thread dipped in glue, so that we get as many weaves as possible. The larger the layer of wound threads, the stronger the craft will be. You can stop glueing the ball when it almost disappears under the thread.
It must be remembered that the glue dries for a long time, about a day, so such a craft must be prepared before the holiday in advance.
After the glue is completely dry, you need to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.
The pig's legs are made in the same way: a sausage ball is inflated, wrapped with threads, then after the glue dries, the ball must be carefully burst and removed from the legs.
Now you need to glue the legs to the body; while the glue dries up, we can start making the pig's face. To do this, on colored paper, we first need to draw all the necessary details - a patch, eyes and ears, then cut them out and glue them on the pig's body.
Then you need to stretch a long thread and secure it with a loop knot - it will come in handy if we want to hang our craft on the Christmas tree.
Coffee toy
A New Year's souvenir-pig in the form of a coffee toy is just as easy to make, its scheme is quite simple, while it will have an exquisite aroma of coffee, vanilla or cinnamon and will give its new owner only positive emotions. Let's start creating a coffee toy!The technique for making such a souvenir is quite simple, and for making naf-naf we will need it: light coarse calico, light threads, stuffing material - synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, a needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, small container for diluting the fragrance, brushes, acrylic paints.
First, you need to prepare and cut out a template - you can attach tracing paper or loose paper to the monitor screen and circle the outline of the toy with the photo.
The toy can also be cut out in any size, just click on the picture and its size will increase. It is also advisable to transfer the cut out pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.
Now our pen will come in handy - we will outline the resulting pattern with it; you need to do this on a fabric that is folded in half; if you plan to sew more than one toy, then it is necessary to leave on the fabric between the patterns a space for the seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is better not done along the line itself, but next to it: the trace from the handle will not be noticeable if the fabric gets wet.
It is necessary to simultaneously sew two layers of fabric along the line; the seam begins and ends between the hind limbs of our craft, while about 2 centimeters remains unstitched - this hole is necessary so that it is more convenient to fill the pig. Also, you cannot cut the threads of the seam so that it does not come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.
We also cut triangular teeth at the place of the seam allowances, leaving a distance to the seam itself of about 0.2 cm - this will allow the seam on the toy to remain smooth, not bristle in different directions.
Now we turn it out and stuff the stitched pig; the ends of folded scissors are suitable for particularly tight spaces. We fill the toy with padding polyester using unsewn holes: the more padding polyester inside, the more "plump", "pot-bellied" our pig will be. It is necessary to carefully sew up the holes through which we stuffed our pig and thread it - this will help to easily hang our pig to dry.
Now we will prepare a flavoring agent for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in a prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter teaspoon to the resulting mixture.
Stir everything thoroughly and cool. Then it is necessary to add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture, mix thoroughly.
Apply the resulting composition with a toothbrush to our pig so that the fabric is dyed, and not completely saturated.
Now we need to dry our toy; to do this, we hang it on a wire rack in the oven, turned on on low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after the end of drying, damp spots still remain on the toy, you must turn off the oven and thus dry our workpiece.
Once completely dry, the fabric soaked in the glue coffee solution will become tough and can be easily applied to any fun pattern.
We start coloring - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with acrylic paints. After the paints are dry, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then you can hang it on christmas tree or on the refrigerator.
It is advisable to avoid getting moisture on the toy. Our wonderful do-it-yourself coffee pig is ready!
We sew a tilde pig
In order to make such a wonderful souvenir, we need a printout of the pattern, cut out and translated into the selected material. As a material for such a toy, a natural plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, calico, poplin, is best suited. You can take materials from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.
The pattern itself consists of several parts - the little body of the pig, ears and legs.
The fabric must be folded in half, place the patterns of the pattern on top and circle; do not forget to leave 0.5 cm for the seams. Now we cut out the resulting parts and sew them as shown in microns.
Be sure to leave holes for filling the craft with stuffing and in order to sew on a pig's tail. Next, we need to sew the resulting parts and turn them out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, synthetic fluff; You can also put a sachet in your pig.
It is necessary to sew the legs and ears to the body of the pig with the help of a secret seam. We decorate the face: you can glue the eyes with plastic ones, sew on beads, embroider with threads or draw with paints, nostrils - draw or embroider with floss threads; you can draw a blush on the pig's cheeks, so it will become more elegant.
In order to make the last part of our pig doll - a playful tail - we need to cut out a rectangular piece of fabric that is suitable in size and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.
We fix the end of the wire inside the tail with glue.
After the glue dries, pull on the second, free end, and it will take the shape of a pig's twisted tail. We sew the tail into the body of our toy.

Snow Maiden from felt
The Snow Maiden can be made using a ready-made pattern or you can prepare your own version on paper. All elements must be taken into account in the pattern. Decorate the finished figurine with beads or sparkles.
Garland of woven paper balls
there is different techniques weaving 3D shapes from paper. The simplest of these: chop colored paper into strips, take one strip and glue it into a ring, twist two more strips and also glue it with a ring.
For balls of small diameter, you need to take strips of 8-10 cm. The larger the ball, the more strips you need. We string the finished balls onto a ribbon or decorative rope and get a bright multi-colored garland.
Northern penguins from plastic bottles
All you need for the craft is an even number of bottles (if there are different volumes, you will get a funny family), threads for pompons, scraps for cutting scarves and multi-colored acrylic paints. Painting does not require the skills of an artist - desire and a festive mood are enough.
Plastic snowflakes
A wonderful decoration in the form of multi-colored snowflakes can be made from the bottoms of plastic bottles of any size: cut off the bottom, make a hole for the ribbon with a hot nail and paint with felt-tip pens or draw patterns.
Button decoration
Buttons are actively used in needlework to decorate any crafts. In the creation of a Christmas tree decoration, both decorative buttons of the same color and old unnecessary buttons can be involved. The elements are strung on copper wire, and the junction of the two ends is decorated with a bright ribbon bow. A similar version of the craft is a vertical decoration in the form of an icicle.
The symbol of the coming 2018 - Earth Dog
In decorating the interior, one cannot ignore the "mistress" of 2018 - Earth Dog. In 2019, the relay eastern calendar will be continued by the Yellow Pig, and in 2020 by the White Rat.
White dog made of cotton balls
For crafts, a cardboard frame is first made, which is pasted over cotton balls or pieces of cotton swabs.
Pom-pom dog
A cute puppy will be made from pom-poms. For the craft, we take two pompons of the same size (head and torso) and one small one (nose).
We tie the pom-poms together with a thread, and glue the felt ears. For the peephole, you can take black beads, and for the nose - sew a lump of black matter.
Cute puppies made of felt
It would be a great idea to hang funny felt puppies on the tree. The pattern for the craft is easy to make yourself.
Funny puppy made of socks
To create such a dog, you will need basic cutting and sewing skills. Initially, the future torso and head are formed from one sock, which are filled with padding polyester, and then separated by pulling threads. After the head is supplemented with eyes, mustache and eyebrows are embroidered.
From the other two socks, a pattern is made for the ears, paws and tail, which are also filled with padding polyester and fixed to the body.
