Special Dates ~ Penny Art

I finally did something crafty and thought I would share with blogland :)

A while ago, I saw this pin and knew this was something I had to make! I am working on a gallery wall for our master bedroom and this is going to go perfectly.

This was super easy to make - and literally cost me only the frame, so about $10 from Hobby Lobby. I could have used a frame I already had but I wanted a rustic looking one. For the pennies, it didn't take as long as I thought it would to find the years I needed, but I did spend some time looking for pennies of different shades.  I just wrote up everything else on word and printed on white cardstock. I used super glue to attach the pennies to the paper. Like I said, super easy.

So here it is - our new penny art highlighting some special dates in our lives





It's kind of hard to see the writing so here is a close up





This was something I put together in less than an hour on a Friday night. I can't wait to hang it up with everything else!
