Iron Craft Challenge #16- Money in the Bank

This week on the Iron Craft Challenge, we needed to create something with the theme of money.  I had the perfect project for this.  I recently found a cashbox at the thrift store that I thought would be perfect for my upcoming craft shows.  However, it was not so pretty and I was looking for a way to make it more fun.

I started by spray-painting it yellow.  Why yellow?  Because that's what I had in the house.  I thought I did so well this time by painting in a box, but sadly, there were holes in the box and I got some yellow on the porch after all :(

Next, I cut a little bird shape out of a piece of cardboard to create a stencil.  I tried to cut legs but ended up scrapping that and just doing the body shape.  I did this with white acrylic.

I then used a thin black sharpie to add a little pizazz to the top.  Features for the birdie, my store name, and a few swirly details.

A coat of clear acrylic sealer later and I am all done!
