Girls just want to have funds and fun. What better way to do both than by turning a picture frame into a piggy bank. No matter what you're saving for (plus craft supplies) this bank can't accrue interest, but it's cuter than an ATM.
Check out this episode of DIY This With Jennifer Perkins for all the step-by-step details or keep reading.
Tools and materials:

Disassemble the picture frame. Cut a piece of decorative paper to the exact size of the back of the frame. Adhere the paper to the frame with glue or tape.

Use the stick-on letters to add text to the front of the frame glass. We use the "rainy days fund", but something like "savings" or "holiday account" would also be nice.
To make sure your letters are evenly spaced, place them halfway on a ruler before placing them on the glass. This way you can place the ruler on the glass to make sure the letters are placed where you want them and that they are evenly spaced. When you are happy with the placement and spacing, adhere the letters directly to the front of the glass.

Attach a cutting tool to your hand drill. Mark a small rectangle at the top of the frame where you want the money slot to be. Cut a hole through the entire frame. Most shadow boxes have multiple parts, so you'll need to cut both the outside frame and the side frame.

Reposition the frame so that the hole for the money is now at the top of the picture frame. Show and save! (See more of this adorable teen bedroom.)
