Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Paint a large and a smaller wooden disc (for the head and nose) with the pink metallic paint. If the paint doesn't provide full coverage immediately, apply a second coat and let everything dry well.
Step 2
Create a paper template for the ears and then cut them out of felt. You can also use a small 2nd template for the eyes.
Step 3
Glue the ears and eyes together with craft glue and let them dry completely before attaching them to the pig.
Step 4
Use the craft punch to punch out a motif from white paper and cut it into a narrow strip. Label it with the gold pen, writing "Good Luck".
Step 5
Finally, glue a small clip onto the back so that you can easily attach your lucky pig to gift packaging, cards, or other favorite places.
Step 6
Now put all the elements together and attach the little good luck note. This creates your cute lucky pig - a lovely good luck charm for gifting!
