Supplies:
Felt
Scissors
Needle and thread
Spare change
Using the pattern below {or cut out your own little piggy pattern}, cut 2 pig bodies out of the same color felt.
Using only one of the felt pieces of piggy, lay the largest coin you have roughly where you think the slot should be placed. This should help you determine how wide your slot should be. I marked mine with a water soluble pen.
Using a pair of scissors, I cut out the slot {you will only need to cut a slot on one of the 2 pigs you cut out}. With my needle and similar colored thread, I reinforced the slot with a straight stitch.
Grab the remaining felt pig and line it up with the slotted piece you just finished. Using either a straight stitch or a stem stitch, sew both pieces of the piggy together.
Then, find some spare change...
and enjoy.
Rumor has it, she likes him for his money...
