How to make it:
- Use alphabet stickers to label canister with child's name.
- Decorate canister and lid with money stickers. Decorate rim with border sticker.
- Use clear packing tape to cover outside of canister over the top of the stickers. This will keep the stickers from coming off.
Tips:

- Look for money stickers near the scrapbook aisle in a craft store. Try to keep extras in a handy place in case of daily wear and tear.
