Very Random but just thought i’d share…

Quite a while ago I saw some really nice money boxes which you literally had to smash open to get the money out..and because they were so nice (and relatively expensive) you wouldn’t want to smash it open for the sake of a few quid.

So anyway…I went on the hunt for one t’ova day but couldn’t find. So decided to make my own…..

Blew up a balloon (into more of a circle than balloon shaped) then paper mache’d it…now I plan to paint the world map on it (when it finally dries out hard enough to hold the tonnage of money I plan to shove in it) blue for the sea, green for the land and white for the polar’s. Then paint a red line in the path I HOPE to follow when I eventually reach my travels.

Sooo I reckon as I’ve put such hard work into it, I defiantly wont be smashing it open any-time soon to steal all the money I put in.

I personally think you should all get on the paper mache world money box and start saving..


Anyone else had any random ways to save? Do tell…

Hey this is a good idea. Is there also a way to attractively paper mache my bank account to stop me taking money out?

Friend of mine was bought one of these to save for her travels.

Really simple design, but made me laugh.

Sounds like a lot of effort. I took the lazy option and bought one of those money boxes that you need a can opener to get into.
