Elephant-Shaped Piggy Bank

Step 6Cut out the Plexiglas sides

Cut out the Plexiglas sides
I eyeballed the shape of the Plexiglas sides, making sure to take into the account the extra width for the screws.  I drew the template out on paper, which I taped to the Plexiglas sheet.  I cut the walls out with my jig saw, and sanded down the edges (note: sanding Plexiglas surface will scratch it, so don't do it).

After sanding, I placed each Plexiglas piece on its respective side and marked out with a sharpie where I would drill the screw holes.  

Important: for this design, one of the walls will act as the door to the coins, so the drilling pattern is NOT the same for both sides.
