Why Make Lucky Pigs?
The cute pigs are not only a great crafting project, but also symbolize luck and prosperity in the new year. These little masterpieces make wonderful gifts for friends and family and add cheer to any festive decoration. Let's experience this delightful fun together!
Step-by-step Instructions for Sparkly Pigs
Step 1: Base Coat the Balls
Base coat all the Styrofoam balls with pink acrylic paint and let the paint dry well. This creates the base for your sparkling symbols of luck.
Step 2: Cut Out the Body Parts
Choose pink foam rubber and cut out the body parts: Create a round snout and draw nostrils with a fine liner. Cut out small pig ears as well – make sure they aren’t too small so that they can be curled. For the curly tail, simply cut a narrow strip of foam rubber. There are no templates for the individual parts. Instead, play with the sizes of the body parts and decide on their shapes and dimensions. This way, the pigs will have different character traits. Also, choose different sizes for the wiggly eyes. If you make several pigs, each one will have its own personality.
Step 3: Create the Clover Leaf
Form clovers from green chenille wire. These little good luck charms will creatively finish off your pigs.
Step 4: Stick on Sequins
Now stick the iridescent pink sequins onto the large Styrofoam ball with pins. This gives the pig its charming sparkling effect.
Step 5: Assemble Everything
Bring your pig to life by attaching the cut-out parts. Secure the ears with two pins so they stay in place. Do the same for the tail. Use craft glue for the hooves, eyes, snout, and the clover leaf.
Your sparkling lucky pigs are ready for use!
