Your Parents Were Wrong: Money Does Grow On Trees…

At least on this one.

Inspired by a post I saw on Pinterest, I decided to do something with all my loose change from foreign countries. Now my foreign coins are out of my bottom drawer and on display as a reminder of my travels.

You will need:

-canvas from a craft store (I chose 11 x 14), foreign coins, string for the “tree,” glue, gold or copper paint, paint sponge and a few brushes. I also used an old jewelry chain. 

First, I painted the canvas and let it dry. Then I added the string for the trunk–globbing on the glue helped create texture that I then painted over with more gold paint. Last, I added coins, and paper flowers.

    What an interesting idea for dealing with memento’s of your travels. The coins totally work!
