Paint the outside of both toilet paper tubes pink and half of the inside of one tube pink and set aside to dry 2.

Brush a small section of the bottle with Mod Podge or diluted glue, and lay a square on it, brushing the Mod Podge on top of the square; repeat this process until the bottle, including the capped spout, is entirely covered; let dry 4. Cut two U shapes from the tube that is painted pink on the inside for the ears 5. Cut three 1/4" slits in the base of each ear and bend back the flaps to create gluing tabs 6.

Wind the pipe cleaner around a finger to make a curly tail shape and glue it in place 10. Trim the legs even so the "piggy" will stand flat Tip: When you are ready to break into your "piggy bank," just cut a flap on the underside of the bank with a craft knife.
