We all wait till the last minute on someone’s gift, either you just couldn’t figure out what to get them or you just got sidetracked and waited too long. Whatever the case may be, you can be absolutely 100% sure, everyone will like a money gift and there are all kinds of ways to present a money gift other than the traditional bill in a Christmas card way. I recently had such a dilemma and I went scouring Youtube for a really interesting way to package and present a money gift. There were so many interesting ways of presenting a money gift out there that I had never thought of, but the one big stand out was the DIY gold animal with a present on their back, this has to be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It was so cute, it made me want to give everyone money and I couldn’t wait to get started. I started by getting my materials together: Animals from Michael’s Craft Store, Gold Spray Paint, Gold Glitter, Holiday String, Small Boxes, and Some Christmas Grass (for the box interior). I first put my money gift in the small boxes I got from Michael’s with my green Christmas Grass.

Then I spray painted my animals that I got from Michael’s gold and sprinkled them with glitter while they were still wet.

Then I just tied the cute little gift box that was holding the booty to the backs of the animals with decorative holiday twine.

These little money carrying animal gifts turned out cuter than all my other gifts combined! This is a fantastic, easy, and quick DIY and I cannot recommend it enough.
