coin jar

[0penheartsurge.livejournal.com]

I took an empty, washed pickle jar and decoupaged some money saving articles and money-related pictures on it and on the lid I glued a piggy bank picture and glued the border with pennies, but despite the fact that the jar has been washed out with soap and water, there's still a pickle smell to it. I put this deoderizing ball in it just to see if that would take the smell out (hey, it's worth a shot), but does anyone know what else might get rid of the smell?

I had a small Ben & Jerry's container (from the ice cream truck) and washed that out, cut a slit in it and made that into a bank, but I have a lot of coins so it's definitely too small for me. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of that, but it's the reason I've moved up to a pickle jar. :)
