Material list
Frog, lion, pig, turtle or cat are practical pets that can be easily recreated . The piggybanks are practical and have plenty of room in their bellies for savings.
Here's how it's done

Small papier-mâché boxes are painted entirely in the color of the respective animal. For the lion, golden yellow Handicraft paint is used, for the frog and the turtle the colours may green and moss green, the pig is skin coloured, the cat is painted grey.

As soon as the paint has dried, a craft knife is used to cut a slit in the lid of each papier-mâché box, through which the money can later be inserted. Here big handicraft enthusiasts should help the small ones

To craft the heads and paws, download the motif template, transfer the different shapes to Coloured paper or photo cardboard and cut them out. Now the single motive parts are glued on each other and afterwards fixed to the money box.

Finally, stick on Wobbly eyes and, with a white and black Fineliners , give the little animals whiskers, a little mouth or other small details to give the sparrows a personality.
The lion gets a red heart from Craft cardboard sheet as nose. That makes him irresistible!


The frog gets a red good mood laugh.
The pig's nose is particularly effective when the outline of the nose shape is traced with black Fineliners . Paint the nostrils and stick them onto the face from Piggy with 3D adhesive pads.

The cat holds a notepad with enough space to write on.
Instead of dots, the shell of the turtle can also be painted with great Zentangle patterns - that looks especially noble!





Extra crafting tip
For the nose of the piggy, the tail of the lion and the note card of the cat (with paws) 3D adhesive pads should be used . This makes these elements look particularly plastic.
