Step-by-step

Step 1
Get all the materials ready that you need. The colours we used for our example are: pastel yellow (colour code 915), pastel rose (914) and pastel blue (916).

Step 2
Download and print out the template of your choice, and cut it out.

Step 3
Place the template on the glass jar (you could attach it lightly with sticky tape on the back of the motif). Shake the spray can for 3 minutes, remove the sprayhead and prise off the safety ring with the aid of the screwdriver.

Step 4
Cover your working area carefully with the protective sheet and remove the screw top from the jar. In our Spray 1x1 section we’ve got handy tips on how to achieve a perfect spraying technique. We recommend you spray at a distance of around 25 cm, using horizontal and vertical strokes to ensure a more even coverage.

Step 5
Once the paint is completely dry, carefully remove the template.

Step 6
You can decorate additional creative money boxes in the same way. We’ve got a wide selection of different templates available on our website.
