I smiled so big when one of the editors at FaveCrafts asked me to contribute a craft project that my cheeks busted blood vessels. Seriously. It was disgusting.
After a little brainstorming, I came up with a craft that used materials that were oh-so-available; ala coins. Inspired by the movie Empire Records….which rocks with 90’s awesomeness…in which a teen glues quarters to the floor, this project gives that idea a good hard kick in the pants. You don’t need an artistic bone in your body…just spare change, a bit of hotglue and a frame.
Go check out some rad photos on how-to plus a little instructional commentary from yours truly. (that’s me!) And I am sure your daddy-o will be proud to be display this piece of art (unlike the Disney tie that mysteriously got a giant Sharpie squiggly line on it). Plus, this gift looks expensive. And your #1 guy won’t feel like you nickel and dimed him….but you totally did. Happy crafting ya’ll!
Why this is FEE-NOMINAL! har har… I refuse to believe that it’s simply such a COINcedece that I also do this. (Except I do it with foreign money that I have left over from a trip.)
Great minds, I suppose!

My daughters LOVED Empire Records – I think it was watched a couple of hundred times – no lie! You crack me up every day! Have you seen my oldest daughter’s new blog?

That’s really cool! I have coins from all over the freaking place, I could totally make some art of them, rather than having them sit in a box!
I also loved Empire Records, I need to turn my kids on to that movie 🙂

I love Empire records. What a brilliant idea, girl. I esp. love the last line.
I hope you remember us little people when you blow up and become even more famous (as though you aren’t famous already)
