Mickey Mouse Inspired $$ Bank

It has literally been 13 years since I've last been to Disneyland. I was only 2 years old, and i don't remember anything. So naturally when my Best Friend asked me to go to Disneyland next year i was uber excited! But how am i supposed to save all of that money? with a cute Mickey Mouse inspired piggy bank! I set a goal of $300 to go to DL. So today your going to walk with me on the journey to Disneyland! First stop Money bank!!

- big mason jar (already had) $1 at the dollar store
-cardboard free
-black paint (I had black spray paint) $1
-red enamel paint (i thought you could use acrylic but it doesn't a stick on as well as enamel special meant for glass) $2
-white paint (already had)
-masking tape (already had)
-oil based paint marker (a sharpie would work fine bu it didnt have a dark enough color) $3-4
-hot glue gun
-glitter (optional)
-mod podge


Build cost me $6

To start I made little Mickey ears with a round object (I used the outside of electrical tape). Use the sharpie and mark a straight line and cut it. Fit it before you glue it. Now hot glue it to the rim (my jar didn't have a lid). I masked off all the parts I didn't want black and spray painted it.

*what I didn't do was mask off the inside so I have a little bit of specks inside the jar*

I masked off the spots I didn't want red (the clear center) and painted the section red. I traced a nickel onto cardboard and painted it white. I hot glued the "buttons" to the dry red body. Almost done!
