Angry Birds Piggy Bank

We used the pig pattern from our Life Sized Angry Birds game (http://www.instructables.com/id/Life-Sized-Angry-Birds-Game/ ) to make an easy and inexpensive Angry Birds Piggy Bank.


Materials
1 foot of 1 x 6 pine
small empty plastic peanut butter jar (use other jars if it looks good)
small wood screws
glue
pipe cleaner (for the tail)

Tools
Dremel Tool
Screwdriver
Drill
Scroll Saw

Step 1 Cut out Piggy Head and Rear

Trace the pig head and rear onto a 1 x 6 piece of pine. Use a scroll saw to cut the head and rear out of the pine. Sand the edges.

Thanks for the inspiration- my Angry Birds obsessed son dropped and broke his beloved piggy bank the other day and needs a new one. I don't have a scroll saw or dremel (and am too lazy to borrow my dad's today LOL) but I DO have some green paint, green felt, green foam board, styrafoam, hot glue, and lots of jar options- "Ferb- I know what we're going to do today!".

I am a anything pig fanatic (probably why this game makes me sad because the pigs get knocked down) and I looooove this piggy bank!!!!

The pigs get knocked down, but they are un-hurt. I think they kind of enjoy it - kind of like puppies rough housing each other and with their human friends:) They get right back up with a smile on their face.
