Self Made Cafts: Paper vase, Coin box

Today wanna share with you on how we can make a nice coin box (or you can call it a coin container) with stuffs like gifts wrappings or glued on wall papers, laces and used shuttle casing.
You can get these things easily :) you can even use the cylinder of the toilet roll if you want to...

You can even put flowers in the casing made :)


This is hoe the Shuttle Casing look like.. We'll call it the Cylinder :D
If your parents plays a lot of Badminton... you should have a lot of these at home lying around some where... waiting to be recycled and reused again....
below is how a glued on wall papers looks like..
I'm sure I do not need to show you how a wrapping paper looks like.. right?
As you can see the other side of the paper is sticky so you can stick your paper onto the Cylinder evenly and nicely.. just wrap around the cylinder until you cover all the surface and that's it!!
If you are using wrapping papers, just do the same thing but put double sided tape on the edge of the papers so it will stick from one end to the other.
All done on the most difficult part :)

aaahhhh... i love these laces!!! I got it from Sabah long time ago...

You can get these at any tailor shops or shops that sales Malay wedding stuffs..

some place that sells ribbons may have some nice laces too...

You can even use ribbons to replace the decor on the cylinder if you want to :)



Just use your creative side to decor the cylinder and in the end, the cylinder does comes with 2 cover... so you can use the cover to cover the bottom part of the cylinder and on the other side, cut a rectangle shape 'hole' so you can insert your coins inside :)
Hope you enjoyed this sessions :)
Do email me should you need any further explanation and if you have any other ideas.
