MATERIALS
Pig template (Google Images)
1 yard burlap
½ yard red & white chevron fabric
¼ yard black duck fabric
Chipboard letters
Wooden button
Hot glue gun & glue sticks
Plastic grocery bags
20 gauge tin copper wire
Red ribbon
Scissors
Needle and black thread (optional)
METHOD
Print template to 8.5” X 11” paper. Enlarge template to desired sized. Print second template, about 2” smaller overall for chevron fabric (mine was enlarged at Staples).
Cut out templates. Fold burlap in half so you have a front and back. Pin large template to burlap. Trace around template, cut out. Remove pins. Pin smaller template to chevron fabric, trace, cut out. Remove pins.
Join outer edges of burlap together with hot glue, leave a small gap to insert plastic bags.
Hand-stitch or hot glue button onto chevron for the eye. I hand-stitched around outer edge of the chevron in black thread (optional). Hot glue chevron to burlap. Stuff burlap with plastic bags. Hot glue gap closed.
Cut two strips of red ribbon, tie two simple bows. Hot glue bows together, then hot glue them to the upper end of burlap for the tail. Place chipboard letters over black duck fabric, trace, cut out. Hot glue letters to chevron. Thread wire through back of the burlap. Wrap ends of wire around a pencil to curl. Hang on your door, sit back, and CALL THOSE HOGS!
