Empty Baby Powder Can Piggy Bank

I remember how my yaya used to make coin banks

either out of empty baby powder containers or

plastic bottles of isopropyl alcohol 

just by creating a slit on top.

 

Hubby used to do the same, too and since

Alonzo's piggy bank 

is nearly full I created one for him.

I decided to "pretty things up" a bit with a little spray paint and a marker pen.  

This literally only takes a few minutes to make.

Honestly, the "hardest" part was waiting for the paint to dry!

I have to tell you though that the labels will

still show through after painting. 

They won't get entirely covered by the paint

unless you scratch them off.

I didn't bother doing this extra step but

I think our "new" piggy bank still looks adorably cute!
