Big Bird Bank or Trinket Can

As usual another great craft job you have done. Big Bird is so cute. I know your grandchildren love getting things from you that are made by hand and love in every stitch.

Its cute, did you manage to get the coffee smell out of the can? That's been a problem I've heard about in some of my craft groups. I don't drink much coffee, and I like the smell, but I can see if you are putting food gifts in them, you don't want them smelling of coffee.

Like I always say...I'll check it out! LOL..too bad we can't see the picture when answering from email....oh well!

Hello carol bee. Long time no see. Glad to know that you have made another nice craft, a big bird bank for your grandson. I think highly of your crafty skill for making crafts. Keep it up, my dear friend.

Hi Carolbee! I put your Big Bird Bank to the test... my 5 yo son and one of his friends. He said it was cool and he liked it and they both wanted to know who made it. He also asked if there was a pokemon bank... They're a boy, I should have known better. The survey of a small group of 5yo boys say that Carolbee's Big Bird Bank receives a .

Hi carolbee, That is so clever of you making it, I wouldn't mine having one of them, its so sweet. Tamara

Wonderful! I admire your creativity. It's really nice.

Hi carol! That is just so adorable! I'd like one of those for myself! That would make a great can for me to put my little things in that I am always losing and can't find a proper place for! I just love it! I love the colors and just love the design! Your grandkids are just so lucky! I wish I could do things like that! But, sadly when it comes to crafts I'm kind of hit or miss!

hello carolbee awww, how cute is that big bird bank that you made. i tell ya, you are so crafty! whoo hoo! congratulations to you on making such a cute bank. what did you make the bank out of besides plastic canvas? a big plastic coffee can? lol thanks for sharing. i wish i had the knack for making crafts like that. well keep up the great work on your plastic canvas crafts. take care and have a beautiful day today!

I've seen 3 threads from you on this subject and all 3 projects were great. visit the homes of my family and you will see a number of picture frames, trinket boxes, tissue box covers and other plastic canvas projects in use. Some are gifts from over a decade ago and many have outlasted commercial products with the same purpose. Thier personal and hold sentimental value because someone took the trouble to make the project for us. I think they are a great gift. You can also find latch-hook rugs, Cross stitch projects, hand made quilts and hand knitted or crocheted blankets and throws. Crafts make the best gifts and are a great project to do with the younger ones in the family. They learn a skill, get pride from accomplishment and spend some quality time with you. There is a Saturday morning show on CBS called CAKE. it's about a teen girl with her own craft show. The show a lot of neat craft projects folks can take on with or for their kids and grandkids and it is a family program you can enjoy with the little ones. they recently did a really neat bank. They took a stuffed toy, opened the main seem in back, removed some stuffing, sewed in a pocket and a zipper to close it and turned the teddy bear into a teddy bank.
