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.)
ReplyDeleteGreat 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 is such a cool idea! I would never have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteI love Empire Records--I used to watch it all the time. Cute project!
ReplyDeleteThat'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!
ReplyDeleteI also loved Empire Records, I need to turn my kids on to that movie :)
Empire Records=One of my favorite movies EVER. Love the art as well!!
ReplyDeleteI love Empire records. What a brilliant idea, girl. I esp. love the last line.
ReplyDeleteI hope you remember us little people when you blow up and become even more famous (as though you aren't famous already)
Wow I really like this craft idea. I could do something with this and my coins from overseas!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun, Katie! Great idea!
