This adorable pink cardboard tube polka dot pig makes a fun spring project for the kids. Because it uses duct tape instead of paint, it’s not messy and cleanup is a cinch. You can use a toilet paper tube or half of a paper towel tube.

This idea literally popped into my head while I was sitting at the craft table doing something completely different. I had some polka dot duct tape sitting on my table, but there was only a small amount left on the roll. Then there it was. A polka dot pig.

What a cute little cardboard tube piggy! I love polka dots and he's so sweet :)

 

Cardboard Tube Polka Dot Pig

We love cardboard tube crafts around here, and that’s obvious based on how many we have! I’ve made a lot of animals from cardboard tubes like this zebra and this alligator as well as all of these cardboard tube farm animals. There are tons more, so be sure to check out all my cardboard tube crafts here.

To make this cardboard tube pig you will need:

  • 4-inch cardboard tube
  • Pink polka dot Duck Tape
  • Large pink button, preferably with only two holes
  • Black paint
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • Black marker
  • Hot glue gun or white craft glue



How to make a cardboard tube polka dot pig:

  1. Cover the cardboard tube with pink polka dot Duck Tape.
  2. Measure and cut a 1 1/2-inch piece of tape and cut it in half lengthwise.
  3. Fold each strip onto itself, leaving about 1/2-inch of sticky side exposed.
  4. Place the sticky side of the tape onto the cardboard tube for the ears. Glue the pink button to the front of the tube for the nose. use the handle end of a paintbrush to dot on two eyes. Add eyebrows with black marker.

If you’d like to make a plain piggy, try this cardboard tube pig craft!
