How to Glue a Piggy Bank Back Together

Piggy banks are not just used as a cute decoration for a child to learn how to save money. Piggy banks come in several different shapes, sizes and designs and are often collectors' items. Many of these piggy banks are one-of-a-kind and simply irreplaceable. If one is broken, it might be better to glue the piggy bank back together instead of throwing the treasure away.

Things You'll Need

Glue
Pieces of broken bank
Flat surface
Sandpaper
Paint
Clear acrylic spray

Instructions

- 1
  Gather all the broken pieces of the piggy bank. Beginning with the largest piece, start to place the pieces back together like a puzzle.
- 2
  Glue each of the pieces onto the bank with a thin line of super glue.
- 3
  Allow the glue to dry for at least 24 to 48 hours.

  To cover up the cracks, sand them down and add a layer of paint the same color as the bank. Next, spray a coating of clear, acrylic paint over the bank to give it a shiny look.
