DIY for cheap: vacation savings jar

Items I purchased:

• Glass jar — $1.99 at Goodwill

• Plastic palm tree — $1.99 at Michaels Arts and Crafts

• Glitter paint — $2.49 at Michaels Arts and Crafts

• Pearl paint — $2.49 at Michaels Arts and Crafts

Items I already had:

• Paint brush

• E6000 Industrial Strength Adhesive

• Mod Podge

Directions

1. Paint the lid of your jar with the pearl paint, making sure to evenly coat the top and sides. Add a second coat once completely dry.

2. Use this same paint and paint the entire plastic palm tree. Let dry completely.

3. Once the pearl paint is dry, apply a coat of the glitter paint over the entire lid and plastic palm tree. Let dry completely.

4. Apply a coat of Mod Podge over the tree and lid. Let dry.

5. Using your adhesive, glue the palm trees to the center of the lid.

6. Once dry, you are ready to start saving up your money for that island getaway.
