Eyes, Nose and Ears
To add the eyes part, I am using small cardboard piece in white. We can also colour with white & black acrylic for better look.
A small rounded piece of black colour paper will serve the purpose of Nose.
And small colour piece, can be attached to the body for ear part.

Now, the Piggy Bank Is Ready to Collect and Disperse the Coins!
The best part of using (transparent) plastic container is we can see through and check how much we have collected.
