Plastic Bottle Coin Bank

Reduce your trash and learn how to save with this easy craft!

What You’ll Need

plastic bottle
craft knife
poster paint and paintbrushes
glue
plastic cups
fabric scraps
scissors

Instructions

1. Wash and dry the plastic bottle. Make a slit on one side of the bottle that's big enough for a coin to go through.

2. Decorate the bottle with poster paints. Mix paint first with a little glue in plastic cups, to help it stick to the plastic. Paint the coin bank as desired.

3. If creating characters, use fabric scraps and other decorative materials to add clothing and other details. Glue into place.

A plastic bottle can be turned into anything! Use fabric scraps to create a sail and you can make a boat. Use construction paper to make wheels and you can make a car or truck. You can also use different sizes of plastic bottles to make the plastic banks into various other thing like pigs, cows or cars. It's all in how you decorate it!
