Foreign Money Magnets

In an attempt to keep my mind occupied, I decided to take a dip into the crafting pool. I don't know if I would consider myself to be a crafting wizard, or even moderately gifted, so I started with something very easy that pretty much no one can mess up. I saw an idea on Pinterest to turn coins from foreign countries into magnets. I didn't think I had that many coins left, but I actually did, even though the majority of them are 1 cent euro pieces. Therefore, earlier today I ventured out to Hobby Lobby and bought the necessary supplies.


Obviously, I didn't buy Yoda at Hobby Lobby, but he was my handy dandy helper. And by helper, I mean he tried to eat everything. Like I said earlier, this project was fairly simple. How hard can it be with a coin, magnet, and some glue? All I did was take the magnet, put a little dab of glue on it, then stuck a coin to it and centered the coin as best as the glue would allow. The end result I got wasn't too shabby, after about five or so hours of drying time.


The picture may not have turned out the best, but you get the idea. I also didn't accomplish my original goal of getting my mind off things, either. Oh well, I like them.
