Ask an adult to cut a quarter-size slit through in a space between the belly and nose of the pig on the opposite side of the eyes. 6. For the pig to stand on its stomach, use spare bottle caps or marbles as legs and make the slit in back. Your piggy bank is complete.Hope you enjoyed that little tutorial. Keep in mind, these piggy banks obviously aren't as good-quality as the ones you find at the stores, but they still do the job and even save the environment and a few dollars from your pocket.
