For this art project you will use a cootie catcher as a starting point
to make a cool pig craft that you can hang up on the wall.

You will need construction paper, a bottle of glue,
a stapler, a wooden cylinder-shaped block which will help to form the
pig’s nose. You will also need a pencil to curl the pig’s eye lashes

Start by making a a cootie catcher out of construction paper. Here
are some directions on how to make a cootie catcher that I found on
the internet.

Staple the top and bottom sections together to create a mouth that only
opens in one direction.

To make the pig’s nose: Glue a piece of construction paper around a cylinder
shaped block, leaving some of the paper flat and off of the block so that
only part on the paper is wrapped around it (you will use the off part
to connect the nose to the rest of the face), Hold the paper around the
block until the glue dries.

Take the flat part which is connected to the nose and glue it to the
face, making sure the mouth is opening in the right direction. Your pig
will look like an elephant at this point. Hold the construction paper
down with your finger until the glue dries. Then, cut the nose so it is
shorter and looks like a pig’s nose.

Next, cut a round piece of construction paper that will fit inside the
nose and add some nostrils to this piece. You can use the wooden cylinder
block as a measurement guide if you want. Leave a couple of small tabs
on the circle when you cut it out. The tabs can be bent and dotted with
glue and then carefully placed inside the nose to help it stick.

Then you can add some construction paper inside the mouth as shown in
the picture. This part can be a little tricky as you need four triangles
that each fit nicely in each section of the mouth. Once you make one that
fits you can use it as a template and cut three more in the same shape.

Next, fill in the cheeks with some construction paper that you can glue
inside both sides of the pig’s face and round them off with scissors.
You can cut out triangles to make ears and add smaller triangles to those
to complete the ear look and glue to the back of the pig’s head. Then,
create eyes, eyelids and eyelashes and glue into place. The eyelashes
are made by cutting a small rectangle and then cutting long ways in super
thin strips almost all the way down. Then they are curled by rolling them
around a pencil.

You can attach some string to the back and hang the pig on a wall for
a cute decoration.
