Baby food jars and chalkboard paint makes coin banks

Baby food jars crafts { Recycle Coin banks}. I love random discoveries especially when they are useful. I had been thinking about two things at the same time. I wanted to do something with the baby food jars. And wanted to keep coins safely away from my little boy. So, just by default this is what I made.

 

The Coin Banks out of the baby food jars.

 

I am so happy with this project. You can also use these jars to keep scrapbook embellishments, buttons and small craft supplies organized and labeled.

What I actually did is made these Coin banks. To systemically collect coins in jars and write the total amount on the chalkboard painted labels. A great way to collect zakat (donation at the end of month) and make it a habit.

 

It can also be used to teach kids:

1) Difference among coins

2) Math

3) Develop early saving habits

 Simply remove the stickers from the jars. Wash them thoroughly to remove any stickiness. And paint 2-3 coats of chalkboard paint.

Use decorative ribbon to make the jars look cool!

I am writing this project in advance. I think I’ll be busy packing my bags and looking forward to meeting my parents soon. Another way you can recycle these cuties is to make a hanging planter.

    What a clever idea for the baby food jars! My daughter would have done something like that when her kids were babies. She is very much into making things like that. I like your site, very personal and friendly. I will send my daughter to your site for review.

    Cool idea! When my little boy was younger, I was always thinking of what I could do with all those baby food jars. I never did figure out anything really creative- just used some to store buttons. But your coin jars are cute! Have a fun, safe trip to Dubai!

    LOVE it! I was trying to figure out what to do with all my baby food jars. Do you put the pain directly on the ribbon, or do you paint it on something, then glue it on?
