Tricks of the Trade


A couple years ago my parents and i started to figure out smart and cleaver ways to give money to some of the older kids in the family. we would make it a Christmas event to watch my cousin Brad run around figuring out each clue just to find more money. and now that all of my cousins are at the age of just asking for money now. i never thought to take pictures of what i did until now. My youngest cousin just had her birthday a couple weeks ago and thought that this was my best work yet! here's some pictures of the process i went through to make this!
this cost about 20 bucks, its a bit much but she can play with the pieces i didn't use.

i put a base layer and then the first layer of the house

Here is the second layer finished and you can see the money through the door!



here's a better look on how i put the money away. i would stagger the money from side to side
from different levels just to keep it changing.


TA-DA! Finished product!

So i hope everything is going well and had a safe labor day weekend. i spent mine crafting! i started doing three projects. i finished one of them and the others just need finishing touches. i will post them up later!
