DIY: Piggy Bank

So the other day I was thinking about my 21st birthday. I have a couple years left till that fateful day but I already know I want to spend it in Las Vegas. So being the curious girl that I am I decided to look at some prices for the hotels and things...yeah I was shocked I almost  fell out of my chair when I saw the prices! I have been to Vegas before and I know that everything is outrageously overpriced anyways but they are crazy! I mean on food, wardrobe, hotel, gambling, drinks, cover charges and shows you are looking into a price range close to a thousand....So my solution is to start saving now with my homemade piggy bank.


Things I used:
shoe box
hot glue gun
ribbon
rhinestones
feathers
2  Cardstock papers (12x12)
double stick tape used for scrapbooking

So you can definitely get creative with this project. I went with the birthday Vegas theme but you can do any theme you want. I'm going to make two more for bills, and a car. My only suggestion is don't use regular glue!!!! It doesn't stick very well to the shoe box and it ends up just making a big mess! So go to your local craft store and check out the scrapbooking section. You will find all kinds of adhesives and tapes you can use. Also be careful with the hot glue gun! I used it for the ribbon, rhinestones, and feathers and they came out great but I did get burned. So use with care :) Enjoy and let me know what you guys think!

DIY folks is the way to go!
