Instructions:
Sharon suggests using fancy paper or fabric to cover an almond or peanut can. I made the bank pictured here by using scrap fabric and decoupage techniques.
I started out by cutting the yellow dog bone and dish fabric into small squares, about 1" x 1". I made sure the lid was on the can tightly. I then covered the entire can using the fabric pieces and decoupage medium. (Learn how to decoupage here.
Once the decoupage medium was completely dry, I attached the dogs, also cut from scraps of fabric using the decoupage medium. I finished with another layer of decoupage medium over the entire can.
Once dry, the bank can be used! Why not make a few to share or give as gifts!
