Materials Needed:
- Empty Sea Moss Gel Jar
- Acrylic paint or spray paint
- Paintbrush (if using acrylic paint)
- Painter’s tape
- Scissors or a craft knife
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Coins or money to fill the jar bank
- Label or marker to mark the jar bank
Step 1: Clean the Jar
Before beginning the DIY project, ensure that the sea moss gel jar is clean and free from any residue. Clean the jar thoroughly and let it dry completely.
Step 2: Prepare for Painting
To start, prepare the jar by covering the lid and any other parts that you do not want to paint with painter’s tape. This will protect the areas that you want to keep clear of paint.
Step 3: Paint the Jar
Apply the paint of your choice on the jar, making sure to coat it evenly. You can use acrylic paint and a paintbrush or spray paint for faster results. Let the paint dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Add a Money Slot
Now it’s time to add a money slot to your jar bank. Use scissors or a craft knife to cut a slit on the jar lid, making sure it is wide enough to allow coins or bills to fit in easily.
Step 5: Decorate the Jar Bank
Using a hot glue gun, decorate the jar bank with any embellishments or designs of your choice. You can use ribbons, stickers, or even paint on additional designs to make your jar bank unique.
Step 6: Fill the Jar Bank
Now that your jar bank is complete, fill it with coins or bills of your choice. You can also add a label or use a marker to indicate what the jar bank is for, such as “Vacation Fund” or “Rainy Day Savings”.
Your DIY jar bank using an empty sea moss gel jar is now complete and ready to use! With just a few simple materials and easy steps, you can create a beautiful and functional jar bank that will help you save money in style.
