Hello Friends! I hope all is going well! I’ve been putting off my “real” work to work on my “fun” work. 🙂
Here are the fruits of my labor, a project that will give you a little luck everywhere you go!
This project was very simple and cost just a few pennies (ha)! 🙂 You will need Folk Art craft paint in Patina, some super duper glue (I used E-6000), a penny, and a ring blank. Not pictured: a piece of paper towel or a cotton ball or a Q-tip.
Take a piece of paper towel and blot the paint onto the penny.
Now wipe off the majority of the paint, leaving just a little in the crevices and around the outside of the coin.
Repeat the previous two steps to build up the “patina” on the penny. It will take just a few minutes for the paint to dry.
Flip the penny over and use E-6000 glue to adhere the ring blank to the back of the penny.
Let the ring dry overnight and then slip it on your finger! Now you’ll be carrying some luck around with you wherever you go. 🙂
