Lucky for me, my dad throws all his change in these giant jugs and cashes them in like once every 10 years. My sis and I once took $40 in silver to buy a video game and he didn't even notice, if that tells you how much he has. So he brought over 11 pounds of pennies for me and I got to work.
Some of the lines got a little jacked up, but oh well. If it drives me that crazy I'll pick up the glass and redo it. They aren't glued down so they can be removed if I decide I don't want it anymore. It definitely takes a brown coffee table from boring to fabulous! Dad approves, and because he's a little math oriented he figured out how many pennies I used......1860. Not the cheapest project I've done, but not too shabby either. I dig it.
Wow it looks really cool! 1860 pennies? $18.60? Nah, that's not too bad. Especially since they weren't yours. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic!! Great job, and definitely not a bad price point. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say you and your sister owe your Dad $40. No statute of limitations on that one! Should be a little interest added too...
ReplyDeleteWhoa dad didn't give me a sack of money I don't think I owe him $40 for her project! Other things yes but not this!
DeleteShe's not talking about owing him $40 for my table. I mentioned us taking $40 from his change back when we wanted to buy that video game lol
DeleteSo cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWOW. I am duly impressed by a) your ability to follow through on something you found on Pinterest and b) how amazing that looks! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is soo cool!! Great job!! It makes me want to do something similar:) I'm your newest follower!! Come follow me back at preparednesswithmegs.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteLooks good! The fact that they're not glued down is definitely a good thing. In other words, you get more DIY ideas to try. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too cool! What a statement piece! Thanks for sharing at Shine on Fridyas!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It looks groovy! I found you from the Sasse life blog social! Also loved the first set of orange curtains as well as the tea dyed ones. Sometimes it takes the second time around to get where YOU want to be. Orange junky as well!!! Following along...

Wow! your table came out great! We've always wanted to make an apoxy like table but out of beer caps.
ReplyDeleteIt came out great! Must be really heavy. :)
ReplyDeletei love this project! thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I love the way the different shading of the pennies looks. What a clever idea. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your table - it looks so cool! I also love that it isn't permanent - a great idea for people (like me!) who love the look of penny tile but might get tired of it after a few years :)
