- Age Guideline: 4 Years and Up
- Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)
The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.
Materials Needed:
- Coffee Can
- Construction Paper
- Crayons
- Decoupage Medium
- Foam Brush
- Utility Knife
Instructions:
Start out by Making sure your coffee can is clean and free of sharp edges. You can also use any other can with a lid. If you can have a label, remove it if you can.
Using crayons, draw a picture on a piece of paper that is big enough to fit around your can. You may have to use more than one piece of paper.
Once your picture is drawn, coat the outside of your can with the decoupage medium and stick your picture to it. Carefully wrap the picture around the can, pushing out any bubbles that might form as you go. Let it dry.
When the glue is dry, coat your entire bank with a layer of the decoupage medium. Let that layer dry and add another. Keep doing this until you are satisfied with the results.
Carefully cut a slit in the lid of the can and replace it on the can to finish your bank!
