I only used one coat of paint, when I was all finished I sprayed it with a sealer. Smiles, Sheri

I was going to use the Bleach Bottle Piggy Bank by Sheri from Stockton,CA for a craft for Bible school, and I tried making one but when I apply the second coat of paint the first coat comes off. Do you have any idea what I can do or how Sheri did it? Margaret

The Piggy is so cute. I am thinking to make one and put it on the laundry bench. It make me feel happy when I use it.

You really brought back some memories as I made one of these back in grade school....many many years ago! I remember the bleach my Mom used was called Linco and it isn't even around anymore. We were told we had to have our Mom's save us a bleach bottle. I thought they came out rather cute. Have no idea what eventually became of my piggy. I probably played with it besides putting money in it and eventually my mother probably tossed. Last year in my son's class they made a pig something like that and used it when they did their money song during circle time.
Perhaps I should save my next empty bleach bottle and me and my two children can make one! It's darling!!

We did these in Girl Scouts when I was little, and they were really cute! Then when I had kids, a friend of my Mom's did a similar project with empty glass jugs from cider or vinegar. The hole was in the metal lid on the "snout" of the pig, and she cut cute little feet out of wood that curved in the middle so that the bottle sat in the curve (it was glued there as well of course) and the feet part were on each side. My Mom ordered a pink one for my daughter and a blue one for my son. They were great banks, and the kids loved them.

That is just so cute. Thanks for sharing. I think I might actually be able to make this one.
