These are super easy and cute. I honestly cannot
remember if I saw these somewhere on Pinterest once upon a time or if I made
them up myself, so for that reason I am not claiming that I came up with the
idea! Plus, I'm sure someone would have done this before.
You will need:
- A shadow box photo frame (make sure this is a box type frame and
not just a deep frame with the glass sitting flush against the picture. Because
obviously then there would be nowhere for the money to go, but of course mummy
brain got me and I almost made this mistake!)
- A picture the size of the frame (I copied an image off Google then had it printed)
- Marker
- Ruler
- A drill (or some sort of tool to drill the slot in the top of the frame for the coin to enter)
That’s it!!
Take the back off your shadow box. With a marker and ruler, draw a
guide line along your frame where you want your coin slot. Don't forget to make
the slot big enough to fit your largest coin! Carefully drill your slot
following the guide line you have drawn. As you can see I have not done this as
I don't own a drill so I am waiting to borrow one. But I plan to use a small
drill piece to drill small holes along the drawn guide line. Then i will run
back and forth with the drill bit along the slot to open it up. Clean up your
frame, insert your picture, place the back on the frame and you’re done! Super
simple and cute.
I got my frames from Kmart (Australia) for $6. I plan to use my personalized
money boxes for my kid’s advent calendars this year. Along with a small
chocolate, they will receive $1 each day for 25 days. Then on boxing day we
will go out and they can each buy a toy with their $25!
Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoyed this DIY.
