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...

Amazingly cute, right!!!!???
I cannot wait to make this for my kiddos. I seriously squealed with delight when I uploaded her post and saw what she had to share with us all today. I hope you'll click on over to Amy's blog While Wearing Heels and check out her amazing posts. My favorite posts of hers include Gnome Sweet Gnome, Interactive Nesting Fire Puzzle, and her Freezer Stencil Bunny Shirt tutorial. Now go on over and show Amy some love (and be sure to follow her too!).

Thanks for Guest Blogging Amy!!!!
