Pirate-y Piggy bank block
I went to Oregon last week, and as usual I stopped and my two favorite crafting places: Craft Warehouse and Ikea. The glass blocks were half off (on sale for $4) so I pick up two, one for each son. They are pre-drilled with a two inch hole on the top, so that is what I'm using to put money in and out (this is for saving, so mostly in). For the front I used black vinyl, then white for words and skull. I used Pieces of Eight font - my favorite for pirate-y type things. I wanted to write Carstens treasure, but then the letters were just too small. One the back I just used a square of chalkboard vinyl so he can either keep track of what is inside, or write what he's saving it for. Tomorrow I need to make one with a snake for my other son. Thanks for looking!
This I just had to take a picture of at ikea - it made me laugh that they had to put "not acutal size"
