I could never do it, but I think this blogger's results are awesome.

Ooooh, looks like I need more pressed pennies!

LOL I tried to post this yesterday, but as I am more of a lurker I don't have enough posts to post links!

I love Jen's blogs, though. Especially her occasional crafty posts on Epbot.com.

And I'm starting to hoard quarters to set aside for penny pressing in December! (we use debit a lot more than cash so we don't get a lot of change around here!) Also going to have to print out some JoAnn's coupons! Can you tell I'm excited about this?

This is so cool! Thanks for posting. I'll be hunting down more pressed coins on our next trip.

Just post some smiley faces or "Great job" comments and you'll get there in no time.

Thank you for sharing!

I absolultely love this idea. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my pressed pennies to actually "display" them. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool - looks like I have a project to look forward to when I go next time.

Any ideas for boys - since they will want to press the pennies also and don't want to wear bracelets

Maybe a dog tag type of thing?

These are just awesome! I am going to have to experiment and get these techniques under my belt!

These ideas are fantastic, thanks for posting them.
years ago during the 25th anniversary (think pink castle) they did pressed quarters at all the resorts. I remember on our last day driving to every resort just to get the pressed quarter. I know they are somewhere in this house, now I have to hunt them down. I never thought our using them as a charm bracelet but that would look amazing.
I am going to Joann's tonight for sure.

Wow, that's absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing! Think I need to dig my pennies and the hubby's dremel out when I get home...

 

[MamaCrush]

Looks like there will be a dremel in my near future!

I wasn't even going to do the pressed pennies on our trip because they would just get lost. Then I saw these nifty ideas. Time to get some coins!

Thanks!

That is such an awesome idea! Right now I just have my smashed pennies in one of those little display books they have on sale. Thank you to the creative genius for this idea!
