Decoupaged Coloring Bank
Instructions for making a fun bank using a coffee can - Shared by 6YO Katie.

Instructions:
"Just make draw/color your own picture of anything you like. Make sure it is on thick paper so that you can't see thru it. You can use any kind of empty, clean container that has a lid. Just make sure that your paper is the right size to go around the container. Then using Mod Podge or any type of Decoupage glue, cover the back of your picture with the glue and wrap it around your container.

When that's dry (about 2 hours), coat the entire outside with another layer of the glue. Let this dry overnight. Then, have your Mommy or Daddy cut a slit in the lid and put the lid on. You now have your own personalized bank!

I even made one without a lid for my teacher to put her treasures in. I hope you have as much fun making this as I did. No one else in the world will have one like yours!"
