This Little Piggy...

I had always turned coffee cans into piggy banks.  Even the rectangular Maxwell House International Coffee ones.  I thought they were cute and fun.  Now, I've stepped it up a notch.  Well, a small notch.

I finally got around to making a piggy bank out of a Similac formula canister.  I took the label off and wrapped it in washi tape.  I then used an Xacto knife and cut a slit into the lid.  Next step was to place a sheet of scrapbook paper on top and press down until I got an impression of the edges.  (Since it's an inside lip, it's kind of hard to trace.)  Cut that out.  Use a glue stick around the edges of the lid and stick that bad boy on there.  Last step is to then use the Xacto knife again and cut out the slit through the paper.  (Do it from the bottom.)  The reason I did that last is because I used some of the wording on the lid as a guide as to wear to place the slit.  It is simpler than it sounds!
