DIY Pink and White Check Pattern | Ceramic Piggy Bank Painting Tutorial

Welcome to today's tutorial! I am SO excited to show you how to transform this darling little pig! I found this ceramic piggy bank at my thrift store, and we're going to turn it into an absolutely adorable pink and white buffalo check masterpiece!

Now, I know what you're thinking—painting checks on a round, curved shape like this seems impossible, right? The pig has all these tricky curves and angles, and you want it all to jive perfectly. It IS a little tricky, but you CAN do it! I'm going to show you exactly how to tackle these hard shapes today, step by step.

The best part? I was even able to find the stopper on Amazon (it was missing when I bought the pig). You can get 20 different sizes for just $6.99! What did we do before Amazon? Seriously!

This project is PERFECT for a little girl's room, a baby shower gift, or just adorable decor. And wait until you see how we bling it out at the end—it's going to be precious!
