PLASTIC PIGGY BANK BUNNY

An original gift, at the same time a toy and a useful hand-made little thing, a gift with meaning and to the place - it is always very nice.
One of such universal gifts is a piggy bank. The reason for the gift of a piggy bank can be anything from a wedding or the birth of a child to plans for a purchase or a dream come true. A children's version of a toy piggy bank is offered, which is made from a plastic container by tying with yarn.
For work you will need:
• a plastic jar from under napkins defenders (PET);
• balls of multi-colored yarn;
• a pair of buttons - an eye;
• button - nose;
• knitting hook No. 2.5 - 3
• thermal gun;
• scissors;
• awl.
For the base, we select a plastic jar from under the defender napkins. It is convenient in its shape and volume, in addition, it has a very convenient lid-tongue.

We prepare the basis for the piggy bank. It is necessary to make two holes in it: one in order to lower the coins, the other in order to withdraw accumulations.
The bottom of the plastic can will be the top of the piggy bank, and the lid with the latch-tongue will become the bottom. To do this, we heat the awl on a fire and burn them with a narrow slotted hole in the bottom of the PET, such that the five-ruble coin passes freely.

Then, in the lid, we fold the round latch and also burn the inner part of the circle with a hot awl along the contour, so that the round hole is smaller than the latch.

So that the edges of the holes in the plastic after melting are not rough and scratched, we process them with a small file or nail file. The foundation is ready.
Next, pour out the remains of multi-colored yarn and choose the appropriate colors from the glomeruli. Having picked up several colors of threads, we begin to knit from the bottom. We hook 15 air loops and lock in a ring. Then we start to knit in dense crochets in a circle and knit several rows until the circle is the size of the bottom of a plastic bottle. This ring will leave access to the bottom hole of the piggy bank.

Then we raise the knitting, trying on PET, so that it looks like a cover on top of the can. Using threads of different colors, we tie the entire jar to the top.

In the upper part, we reduce the loops, closing the base, until knitting covers PET, but so that the slit hole remains accessible. We get a sheathed jar.

We make details of a toy piggy bank. As paws, ponytails and bunny’s forelock, we will make pompons from white yarn. If there is no adaptation for the manufacture of pompons, then we do it easier: we wind the threads on three connected fingers in a dense layer, knit an additional thread in the center, then remove the yarn and cut from both sides. Fluff. Then trim with scissors to a round state.

From colored yarn we knit rabbit ears. To do this, we collect a chain of 15 air loops, then we double-knit in a circle with double crochets, In the third row from the middle we go to single crochets, we knit them 3 pieces and break the thread. Thus, each ear will be slightly wider at one end.
For the bottom we knit a tight round element the size of the bottom of the PET, which must be tucked into the bottom hole to close the latch of the plastic can. When the time comes to mine the accumulated coins, this insert can be pulled out and open the hole.
From a yarn of a different color we knit the simplest flower crochet.

We collect a bunny. It is most practical to make hot melt adhesive. Glue round buttons eyes and nose. Glue in places the pom-poms, tail and forelock. We do the same with the ears. The work is over.

Such a gift can be given, for example, to a child who has a dream, save up for a hamster or puppy, or maybe for some kind of game, rollers, soccer ball or other desire.
