Money Jars

While hanging out with a friend of mine one day, she started talking about these neat savings jars she made. Intersted, I asked her to show me. They were so stinking cute!!! Upon closer look, they also looked super easy. I asked her how she made them and after the run-around, she came up with the idea of a blog post. So, I did.

Most of the supplies are available around your house.

• small mason jar
• duct tape (colored is best)
• scrap fabric
• permanent marker
• scissors

First, take the duct tape and wrap it around the jar, making sure to keep the tape straight and to create minimal air bubbles.

                           

Next, remove lid and take 2 strips of fabric, placing them with a slight gap between.

Place lid back on. It's easier to do if you hold the fabric taught to the sides. Trim fabric to desired length.

                                                     

Finally, label the jar. These can be great tools to teach your kids money management. Make three for spending, saving, and giving.

And volia! you're done (didn't I tell you they were cute)!

Keep Crafting,
