Soda Can Coin Bank

Converted and recycled two soda cans into a coin bank for my son's school activity.

As to the soda itself, well, I didn't drink it. I've been maintaining a "no carbonated drinks" for several months now, so I gave it to my Dad! LOL! :D

Anyway, here's a pic of the cans before I altered it. I carved an opening on both tops of the cans before I joined them together. I used the remaining scraps of Bella Blvd. papers in my stash, along with ribbons, ricrac, blings, buttons, acrylic paint, MS deco puncher.


Here's the finished product. I used glue gun to merge the cans into one.


This is the side portion where I positioned the ribbon. I don't want it to be too feminine, as it's for my son, but just with a hint that it was made by Mommy. :D


Happy Sunday! :D

I Love This Boy!
