DIY wedding bank

The tradition of giving gifts to newlyweds is rooted in the distant past. No matter what they say about the facelessness and banality of a cash gift, it is reasonable and practical. The couple will be able to buy what they need. It is customary to collect money intended for a gift in the so-called wedding bank. A three-liter jar, tied with a ribbon, looks, frankly, not too presentable. Using a tray is not very original, and it’s not safe. The wedding bank with its own hands looks much more interesting, made in the form of a chest-piggy bank with a slot. In such a hole, an envelope with money will pass freely. In addition, such a chest looks original and interesting. Fantasy, hard work and the very minimum of creative abilities, and you will succeed!

DIY wedding bank - master class

Get to work! A chest for money for a wedding can be made in the form of a rectangular box or a piggy bank. It is decorated with various decor.

Important! Very original, if the box for cash gifts is designed in the same color scheme as the whole celebration. Its design depends on the taste of the person involved in the manufacture. You can give preference to the traditional white palette, or you can experiment with brighter and less traditional shades.

The items look original in the form of a festive cake decorated with flowers or a “gingerbread house”. In general, fantasies are where to roam.

What do you need for work?

To make a bank for a wedding with your own hands, you will need:

• PVA glue. The presence of a glue gun is welcome.
• Stationery knife.
• Scissors.
• Scotch.
• Textiles for drapery.
• Ruler.
• Medium-sized cardboard box. You can also use a sheet of ordinary cardboard, having independently made a scan.
• Colored paper for finishing the product inside and out.
• Decor elements: beads, shells, ribbons, colored pebbles.

Important! It’s good if there is a figured hole punch with which you can cut out original figures for finishing a wedding chest.

After all the necessary tools have been prepared, you can begin to manufacture the accessory. Scanning a wide variety of types can be found on the Internet or special magazines for the preparation of weddings.

Making patterns

If the product is in the shape of a chest, then when making a reamer, follow these rules:

• The back of the chest should be slightly higher than the front.
• The length of the product is equal to the sum of the width and height of the front.
• It is advisable to make a lid shaped. She will look more beautiful.

Making a wedding jar not out of a box, but out of a cardboard sheet - somewhat complicates the matter, but not by much. Transfer the finished scan (or to scale) onto the paper and leave the gluing allowances quite easy.

Important! When making a carton from a cardboard sheet, make a slot for the envelope in advance. Making a hole after gluing is much more difficult.

“Piastre Chest” from a shoe box

Do-it-yourself wedding bank out of the box is the easiest and most win-win option. Follow this plan:

• Cut the cover according to the pattern. This will be the cover of the future chest.
• Give the lid a domed shape by gluing cardboard to it and securing it with tape.

Important! If you are not sure that the tape will hold the structure firmly, secure it with brackets from the stapler.

• Measure the lid and the box itself.Cut the right amount of fabric and begin to sheathe the product. Do everything leisurely and carefully. Only in this case everything will turn out flawlessly.
• At the slot, carefully cut and secure the fabric with glue so that it does not puff.

Important! You can simply hold a burning match in this place. But be careful not to accidentally burn the entire product.

• Dressing. Here, use all your imagination, and at the same time photos, rhinestones, stones, lace and ribbons.

Important! The decoration looks beautiful with dried or fresh flowers, clusters of berries, symbolizing fertility and prosperity.
