Lil' Maker's Christmas Money Holder / Portrait Ornament

thingiverse

I'm handing down the ultimate gift to my niece this holiday season: cold, hard cash! I carefully crafted a beautiful wooden frame just for her, ensuring she'd put in a little bit of elbow grease before getting her hands on the money, as part of her DIY education is a top priority. Once she cracks the code and extracts the funds from within, this custom-made tree decoration will shine bright, serving as a clever storage space for cherished wallet photos. And the cherry on top? She can slip in another favorite snapshot behind the cash for an extra-special keepsake. To achieve the desired effect, I employed M4x6 Pan-head screws in sturdy 3mm acrylic - but you can easily substitute with festive ribbon if you prefer a more laid-back look. Be advised that the drilled holes are intentionally undersized to accommodate laser kerf for added precision and consistency in your projects.
