So, what materials are needed to make a coin piggy bank? A tall tin can (preferably one for fruit, not one for pickled fish), a sealing lid, colored paper and PVA glue.
You will also need tools - a knife and a can twisting machine.
To begin, take the seaming lid and make a hole (narrow slit) in its center using a knife. To ensure that the hole is strictly in the center of the lid, you should first measure the distance to it with a ruler. Although you can do without measurements by cutting a gap “by eye”.
We turn the lid over and get rid of the rubber band running along its perimeter. The fact is that it is impossible to put a lid with an elastic band on a tin can, due to the fact that the diameter of the latter is several millimeters larger than the diameter of the lid.
After the rubber band is removed, the seaming lid fits onto the jar without any problems. But here's the problem: the lid can be easily removed. And, as you know, the contents of the piggy bank should not be easily removed. Therefore, the tin can must be rolled up using a can twisting machine. Do not overdo it with screwing, because excessive force will cause the lid to bend and you will have to start all over again.
Now the piggy bank is ready, but it cannot boast of an aesthetic appearance. Therefore, it should be decorated with colored paper. A sheet of paper is cut lengthwise so that its height matches the height of the piggy bank. Then the ends of the sheet are fastened with PVA glue.
A piggy bank made from a tin can can hold hundreds of coins. To remove money from a piggy bank, remove the lid with a regular bottle opener. And if after this you roll up the tin can again, the piggy bank will be usable again.
