Hello! My name is Lorrin, I blog about the embracing the perfect mess of life with kids over at embrace the perfect mess which pretty much includes anything to do with family life- recipes, quick diys, practical home decor, tips for traveling with kids, tips for photographing your kids, and a whole lotta mom-life! This is my second time guest posting here on The Crafting Chicks. In case you missed the first post, check out this super easy DIY sidewalk paint.
This week we are talking about something totally different though. This week we are talking about money management and teaching kids about money. I grew up in a home where money wasn’t really discussed unless it was to say we didn’t have enough money for something. Since there wasn’t much to spare, we didn’t really discuss saving, or donating. As an adult, I often wish it was something my parents had put more of an emphasis on. These DIY mason jar banks are the perfect way to discuss money in an age appropriate way with kids of almost any age.

Over at embrace the perfect mess, I am all about a project that is quick and easy. Goodness knows, I don’t have a ton of free time. I’m also quick to bite off more than I can chew. These are adorable, fun, and crazy simple!
1. Print out the free printable tags. Be sure to print in landscape orientation.

2. Cut them out, and punch holes in the top.
3. Wrap jute around the tops of the jars, and attach your tags.
Spend some time talking to your kids about what it means to save their money, and places, causes, charities they might like to donate funds.
Xoxo, Lorrin
