Want to save more? Then, make yourself a chalkboard piggy bank. He's so cute, you'll want to feed him all the time.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes or less
Here's How:
- Apply a coat of chalkboard paint to the entire piggy bank.
- Let dry. Then, touch up as needed.
- Allow the paint to cure for 24 hours (refer to the paint label for specific instructions).
- Then, write your current savings goal on the side of your piggy bank with a piece of chalk, and start saving!
Tips:
- Look for piggy banks at thrift stores and yard sales that you can redo. If they're already glazed, just rough them up with a piece of sandpaper before you paint them.
- Make one for each of the kids on your gift list. It's a great way to encourage saving at an early age.
