Such an original gift can be made for a loved one, a boss, a child or parents - he will like everything. There are several ways to make a bank. Let's consider the most original of them.

Method number 1.Bank with wishes in vintage style

The jar, decorated in vintage style, can be presented to anyone. It all depends on how you decorate the gift.

Important! When decorating a gift, try to take into account the preferences of the person you want to give it to.

To make such a wish box you will need:

• Small glass or plastic can.
• Paper.
• Twine( jute thread).
• Tea, coffee or milk.

First of all, you need to age the paper. You can do this with tea, coffee or milk and lighters:

1. To compose with tea or coffee, you need to brew one of these drinks, pour it into rectangular dishes and drop them there for 15 minutes sheets of paper.
2. After this, the paper must be carefully pulled out and hung dry.
3. Before use, iron through the fabric is recommended.

Important! After soaking in tea and coffee, the paper becomes fragile and easily torn, so you need to work with it very carefully.

Next steps:

1. Use milk and fire to age the paper carefully, too. On the paper sheet squirting milk, and then we spend under the sheet a lighter. In places where milk gets to, there will be yellow spots.
2. On aged paper we make labels and wishes. They can be written by hand or, if you are not sure about the accuracy of your handwriting, print it out using a printer.

Important! Labels should have approximately the following content: on the one that will be in front, we write the general theme of the notes in the bank, their purpose. The second label indicates how the contents of the jar are used.

1. Labels are glued to the can with two-sided adhesive tape or glue.
2. The bottom part of the labels is hidden under the twine, which is attached to the jar with glue.
3. The lid can also be decorated a little. Make small drawings, sign to whom the jar is intended, slightly wrap the jute thread around the edges and much more. Do not be afraid to show your imagination!
4. Leaflets with wishes turn off into a "roll" and tie a small piece of twine. We add the ready wishes to the bank.

The number of wishes depends only on you!

• Colored paper.

2. For the remaining intervals, greased with glue, sand is poured.
3. When all is withered, the remains of sand are removed.
4. To the front of the jar we glue a pre-prepared label on which you can write the dates of your stay on vacation, the name of the souvenir or the name of the person for whom the gift is intended.
