Pig Craft of Paper Stripes

I wanted to make this amusing pig pink but since the symbol of the coming year is the yellow ground pig, I decided to choose yellow construction paper. For a change, why not making a yellow pig – indeed, all the pigs on the site are pink.

A pig craft of paper stripes has little difference from other characters made of thin stripes of construction paper; the key point is a corresponding appearance with a snout and distinctive ears.

For a pig craft you will need

  • Yellow double-faced construction paper;
  • Orange paper or construction paper;
  • Red and black felt pens, scissors, a ruler, a glue stick, a writing pencil.

Cut 4 thin stripes out of the construction paper. The size can be different depending on the character size you need. Here, we have a small pig – the stripe is 1 cm wide and as long as the narrow side of the construction paper sheet.

Glue the rest as well. Try not to overpull the stripes in order not to get a broken ball. You shouldn’t make them too sagging either – everything should be even.

The ball of stripes is ready – it will become the pig’s body. Now, only the minor details are left.

Finishing Details for the Paper Pig

Draw and cut out a head – a common circle with ears. Cut out a circle for a snout nose separately. Cut a tail and legs out of the construction paper as well. And optionally – a scarf.
