1.  Take a rinsed-out Clorox bottle with its cap and cut out a large circle from the side of the bottle using craft scissors.

2.  Paint the entire bottle light pink.  Paint the bottle cap using a vibrant magenta.  Paint two black dots on the bottle cap after the magenta paint has dried.

3.  Take some large googly eyes and glue them onto the bottle on opposite sides of the bottle’s handle using tacky glue.

4.  Using magenta and white construction paper make two ears as shown in the picture.  Glue above each eye using tacky glue.

5.  Either stamp or paint flowers on the sides of the bottle.  Be as creative as you desire!

6.  Create a stable base for the piggy bottle so that it does not tip over.  Inset a flowerpot that will fit in the hole you make in the bottle.  Put your favorite flower plant into the pot and there’s you pretty pig planter!
