The “piggy bank” has been around for as long as many of us can remember. We all need somewhere to keep loose coins, until we spend them or roll them up to cart off to the “real” bank.

Well, here’s the perfect coin bank for beekeepers who need somewhere to stash their hard-earned Honey Money. Even if you’re not a beekeeper, it’s an easy-to-make craft project that will look great on your desk or hall table.

An original Stonehaven design, the Honey Money Bank is a unique and practical woodworking project you won’t find anywhere else —

Yes, it’s a money bank in the shape of a true-to-life miniature beehive!

Build Your Own “Honey Money” Bank

This craft project is suitable for anyone with basic woodworking skills and tools — it can be built using only a table saw and a table-mounted router, although an electric sander is also recommended.

Our money bank construction plans include a materials cut list, step-by-step directions with detailed drawings and photographs, assembly instructions, and a metric conversion table for the convenience of overseas woodworkers.

There’s even a full-sized template you can use to make a stencil for painting the handles on the little beehive coin bank (and we’ve got some other suggestions for decorative painting, too, if you’re feeling artistic).

The finished Honey Money Bank measures about 3 1/2″ x 4 1/8″ x 7″ high.

First carefully fold and crease the patterns on the dotted line making a sharp fold (see images below). Next, place pattern over the corner of a blank using either a spray adhesive or clear packaging tape. Make sure the crease lines up perfectly with the corner. Next, saw the first side profile making long continuous cuts. After this cut, use glue or clear tape to reattach the waste cut-outs so the pieces do not move. Next rotate the workpiece 90 degrees and cut the second pattern out. Finally sand and finish. Before starting you might want to read Essential Scroll Saw Tips.
