Why do you need a piggy bank?

This question, on the one hand, seems stupid, but some people are not immediately clear about all the possibilities of the simplest piggy bank. After all, this is not only a storage of small change or a way to save up for your dream, it is something more.

Using a piggy bank helps with simple example explain to children the importance of saving skills. Moreover, you can give a piggy bank to a child and he himself will be able to save money, for example, for a bicycle, or spend it as he would like. It is advisable to put the funds left over from saving on something into a piggy bank - then you can demonstrate to your child how much money can be saved by denying yourself small daily expenses.
A piggy bank will help you set a specific goal - for example, simply fill it to the very top. Moreover, it allows you to visualize the entire process and clearly show the rate of accumulation of funds.
Small expenses are an elusive outflow of finances. By putting change in a piggy bank (for example, putting 100 rubles into it every day as the equivalent of buying a glass of coffee), you can clearly feel how much money from the budget is going nowhere, and begin to be more careful with your funds.
Coins are always and everywhere lying around - in pockets, on shelves, on the table... People treat small coins with disdain, almost as trash, and this is fundamentally wrong. By collecting them in one place, it is easier to control your money. And sometimes a little thing is completely irreplaceable. For example, it is convenient for her to pay in public transport.
You can save quite a large amount using a piggy bank, although this process will happen almost unnoticeably. A nice bonus when you empty your piggy bank is the opportunity to buy yourself something expensive, quietly saving up for it.
Another advantage of a piggy bank is that there is always cash in the house.. Sometimes you really need it, and the nearest ATM is far away. The easiest way is to take some amount from the piggy bank.
For some, saving is a kind of game. So you can even come up with certain rules and start saving money with passion.

Note! You can have not one, but several piggy banks for different types coins - for example, for 10, 5, 2 rubles and so on.

Materials for manufacturing

Traditionally, as already mentioned, piggy banks were made of ceramics. However, homemade coin containers can be made from anything. The main thing is that the materials used are strong enough that they will not be damaged by the weight of the coins if the container is large enough. However, no one bothers you to turn even an ordinary fabric bag into a piggy bank, if it is more convenient.

Homemade piggy banks are usually made from:

cardboard;
plastic;
wood;
metal

Note! If desired, you can turn any beautiful box into a piggy bank or even use an ordinary glass jar by decorating it and making a slot for coins in the lid.

You should choose the material wisely, assessing the desired type of piggy bank, your skills and abilities to work with the material, as well as the tools available. So, It's easiest to work with cardboard or plastic bottles– to process these materials you can use tools that are always at hand (for example, scissors and glue gun). As for wood or metal, you may need special scissors, a hacksaw, nails, special adhesive compositions, varnishes, rivets and so on.

The simplest option for a piggy bank is to take a nice, durable cookie box and make a hole in the lid of a size that will allow coins of any diameter to pass through. You can do the same with a glass jar. The advantage of glass is that it is transparent and through the walls of the jar you can see how full the piggy bank is. Additionally, the jar can be painted or pasted over with various decorative elements(shells, sparkles, decorative cord, etc.). It’s better to take a screw-on lid, decorate it and don’t forget to make a slot for coins.

Important! The edges of the cuts on the lid of the jar should be processed with a file so that they are not sharp, otherwise it is easy to get injured when dropping coins into the jar.

You can also take a simple cardboard box of any size, paint it, paste it over beautiful paper or fabric, make a cutout for coins - and the piggy bank is ready. Such containers for coins can be made either disposable or reusable.

Advice! A homemade piggy bank is an excellent gift option for a friend or to a loved one. Inside you can put a “down payment” on your dream - a banknote or coins.

In any case, when creating a piggy bank, it is important to turn on your imagination. There are no rules for decorating or structuring a piggy bank - you can do everything the way you want. Below are some examples of how you can make a coin storage container at home.

Piggy bank from a can of chips

Chips of one well-known brand are sold in very dense cylindrical packages. And from such a jar, using decorative cord and glue, you can make an original and simple piggy bank.

Step 1. First of all, you need to clean the jar of any remaining chips. You will need both the jar itself and its lid.

Step 2. Using a sharp utility knife, you need to make a slot in the lid for coins. Cut the lid carefully on a hard surface that you don’t mind scratching. The length and width of the slot should be such that coins of any denomination can easily pass through it.

Step 3. The lid with the hole made can be immediately tried on the jar.

Step 5. You need to attach the cord with glue to the outside of the jar lid.

Step 7 The cord must continue to be glued to the lid in a circle, bypassing the first rows with subsequent ones.

Step 8 As soon as the lid is decorated, you need to start gluing the cord using the same principle to the jar itself. The lid should be placed on the container immediately.

Step 9 When the jar is completely covered, the cord needs to be cut, the remaining end fluffed up and glued to the bottom of the jar.

Step 10 You can decorate your piggy bank with paper roses. In order to make them, you need to cut from thick paper circle and cut it in a spiral.

Step 11 The resulting spiral needs to be screwed onto a pen or screwdriver, then removed and fixed with glue so that the “rose” does not fall apart.

Step 12 The finished roses can be glued to the piggy bank using the same glue gun.

Step 13 The piggy bank is ready. It will work out small size, but is still able to hold a lot of coins, and can also decorate any shelf.

Cardboard piggy bank with code

You can make an original and interesting piggy bank using ordinary cardboard.

Step 1. You need to take a sheet of cardboard and cut it on one side using a sharp knife along the edges, cutting a solid top part as shown in the picture.

Step 2. Thanks to this procedure, the cardboard becomes very flexible.

Step 3. After this, you need to remove part of the top layer of paper from one edge of the cardboard, and apply glue to the remaining part.

Step 4. Having formed a cylinder, you need to glue the cardboard.

Step 6. The blanks need to be cut. The one that has a hole in the middle needs to be put on a cardboard cylinder, lowered down a little, and glued.

Step 7 A blank without a hole needs to be glued to the same side of the cylinder.

Step 8 After this, you need to cut out a thin long strip of cardboard with a width equal to the distance from the edge of the circle without a hole to the edge of the circle with a hole on the cylinder, and make it flexible. You need to apply glue to one side.

Step 9 Now this narrow strip needs to be glued to the circles placed on the cylinder, as shown in the figure.

Step 11 On paper you need to draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm, inside it - a circle with a radius of 3 cm. Then, inside the second circle - a new one, with a radius of 2.5 cm.

Step 12 By itself big circle you need to make markings. The notches are applied at an equal distance from each other of 2.5 cm.

Step 13 The notch points must be connected to each other by straight lines.

Step 14 Based on the resulting blank, you need to draw and make several multifaceted cardboard rings with small cutouts from the inside of the circle.

Step 15 You need to apply glue to the cardboard rings at three points around the circumference.

Step 16 Then these rings need to be glued together.

Step 17 Around the resulting blank you need to glue a strip of cardboard with numbers from 0 to 9 written on it. About 5 such blanks need to be made. You also need to make several blanks, as in step 14. Strips with numbers need to be glued at random relative to the small cutout inside the circles.

A strip with numbers is glued

Step 19 You need to put one thin cardboard ring on the large cylinder, and then insert the small cylinder into it.

Step 21 Next, alternating thin cardboard rings with thick ones that have numbers on them, you need to put them on a cylinder with a slot. Please note: on inside The rings have small cutouts the same width as the cutout in the cylinder itself. Thin rings are glued to large and voluminous ones: the second voluminous one is glued to the first thin one with a few drops of glue, etc.

There are small cutouts on the inside of the rings

Step 22 The last thin ring is glued to the cylinder itself and will be stationary. The remaining large rings should rotate around it.

Step 23 For a small cylinder along its entire length, you need to set aside 2.5 cm sections from the previously placed mark and then also 2.5 cm from the new mark.

Step 24 You need to cut off the semicircular ends from the ice cream sticks, and also cut them into narrow wooden strips (about 1 cm long).

Step 25 The semicircular ends need to be glued in place of the applied marks on a narrow cylinder. Next to them you need to glue narrow strips of wood to make it look like in the image.

Gluing directional arrows

Step 27 Now the cylinders need to be aligned with each other.

Step 28 If you rotate the circles with numbers, the piggy bank will close. To open it, you need to set the numbers so that you get a certain code. It is set during the work - the strips with numbers are simply glued onto the blanks at random, that is, you should not glue the strip with numbers relative to the slot on the circles equally on all rings. The order of the numbers must be different.

To add coins, the piggy bank must be opened 5 /5 (6 )

Making a piggy bank from a glass jar

Take a regular glass jar of a suitable size and screw the lid on it. Make a slot on this lid for money. Basically, the piggy bank itself is made from glass jar already ready. All that remains is to decorate it.

To make it more original, we’ll make a square-shaped piggy bank. For this we need cardboard:

Cut out two strips from cardboard. One strip is the width of the can. The second is 1 height + can diagonal + 1 height.
These two strips need to be aligned with each other in the place where the bottom of the jar will be, and fastened together using a stapler. This is the first blank for the frame.
We make the second blank. To do this, place the first blank on the cardboard and trace it, adding 1 cm to the allowances on the sides. It doesn’t need to be made so long, leave 3 cm on each side. Cut out the second piece.
In the center of the second workpiece, draw a circle equal to the diameter of the lid and cut it out.
Now you need to put both blanks on the jar. We place the jar in the center of the first blank and lift the edges, and put the second blank on top of the lid and fasten them together with a stapler.
For strength, you can fasten the entire structure with tape.
Dilute PVA glue in water in a ratio of 1 to 1. Cut paper towels into strips. We dip the strips in glue and lay them in waves on the base. This way we decorate the jar on all sides, preferably in several layers.

Important! Before applying a new layer, the old one must dry completely.

Each layer needs to be painted acrylic paints. You can choose the color to your liking.

Important! Paint the first layer more dark color no gaps. Paint the next layers with lighter tones.

Now take “Titan” or “Moment” glue, coat the neck and the places where the workpiece ends with it. Place packing rope, woolen thread or burlap on the glue in a circle. Using the same glue and rope, decorate the lid.

Important! On the side you can decorate the piggy bank with bows or buttons or other decorative elements.

Other ways to create piggy banks with your own hands:

Do you have any empty coffee cans left over? Don't throw them away, because you can use them to make a piggy bank. How to decorate such a piggy bank? Find a beautiful ornament, drawings of flowers or another picture you like on the Internet and print the drawing on a color printer. Cut out the design based on the size of the jar and cover it.

Important! On top you can decorate the piggy bank with additional rhinestones, beads, buttons, bows or flowers.

You can make a box from cardboard and colored threads. Just sketch the box, cut it out of cardboard and fasten all the parts with colored threads. You can download the finished blank from the Internet, print it and use it as a stencil. Make a hole on the lid for coins.
Trim the plastic bottle to the height you need and sew a cover with a drawstring that can be released or pulled back. Place it on the top of the bottle. You can put anything inside: money or just small items.
