If you are a money collector, making your own money wrappers will be very inexpensive. Plus, by recycling paper bags, you can also take part in the ongoing green movement. You can make up to 20 coin wrappers just from a regular size paper grocery bag.

Wrapping all the coins you have at home will be a good idea. You can also teach your children how to save money. You can pick it up and wrap it with your own coin wrappers. The following are the steps to make your own coin wrapper.

The first thing to do is open the grocery bags and place them on a flat surface like a table. Shape it into a perfect rectangle. Then, he begins to measure for each size of coins that you are going to wrap. If you want to wrap your pennies, you can mark this and cut two 4-inch strips the length of the bag. Cut one of them into 2¾-inch-wide squares. Put them all in a pile and then on top of the pile with “Pennies-.50¢”.

If you want to make a wrapper for the nickel, cut the other 4-inch strip into perfect squares that are 3-inches wide. For the dimes, you should make the paper 3 ½ inches wide and for the quarters, you can cut it to a 3¼-inch width. For each of them, you can mark the top of the stack with the correct denomination and monetary amount.

The next thing to do is fold each edge of the wrapper over until they slightly overlap each other by an eighth of an inch. Apply the glue to one of the edges and press with the other so that they stick together. Place the seam you just glued down the center by flattening the wrap. Allow to dry before using for wrapping.
