I know many of you (myself included) are always trying to decorate for pennies, but how about decorating WITH pennies? Today I’m sharing 10 creative DIY project all using those pretty copper coins we often toss into a jar without a second thought.
So next time you are out for a walk instead of passing up that penny remember the old saying, “Find a penny pick it up, then all day you’ll have good luck”….AND you might just be able to complete a cool home project when you have enough :)
