I smiled so big when one of the editors at FaveCrafts asked me to contribute a craft project that my cheeks busted blood vessels. Seriously. It was disgusting.

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!
