Plastic bottle moneybox (PET)

Transform a plastic bottle into a piggy bank.

What we need:

• plastic PET bottle with cap,
• 4 PET bottle caps or 4 cork wine stoppers,
• acrylic paint,
• cardboards,
• double tape,
• exact-O knife or scissors;
• color markers;
• other materials you want to reuse, as buttons for the eyes.

How to:

1. Remove all the stickers and labels from the bottle;
2. Wash it with running water;
3. Let it dry completely;
4. Close the bottle and place it in horizontal position;
5. With the marker draw the place where you want to make the hole for the coins;
6. Use the scissors, or the exact-O knife to open the hole, this requires adult supervision;
7. Glue the 4 caps o the bottle, they must pretend they are the pig feet but most of all they must keep the bottle steady;
8. Now its time to get creative ad to make your piggy bank one of the kind, paint it and decorate it at will, reusing materials is a good option.

Tips:

• Use hot glue for the feet;
• Use double sided tape to glue the cardboard;
• If you paint the bottle paint it first with white;
• The normal acrylic paint comes off the plastic after a while.

Et Voilá!
Enjoy!
