So far, so good!
I got $25 in pennies, but I am going to have to go back for more tomorrow! When I am done with this table, I am going to post what kind of square footage you get with pennies. I couldn't find that info anywhere online, so it was very hard to gage my tiling needs.
Yesterday, I was just placing the pennies and gluing them in place. Tomorrow will be the sealer.
I decided placing them felt like Tetris (best game ever).
I can't imagine penny tiling an entire floor. Such a cool look, but it would take forever! Maybe there is a faster method I'm not aware of. Anyone know?
Stay tuned for my real "after" shot. If you have any advice for me, or know of a way that people do this in a faster way than placing each penny by hand, let me know! I'm curious. It's fun to do, either way!
I have always been curious about penny tiling as well. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteit's a challenge, but fun!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, curious to see the final pic :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cool! Seems like a good job to undertake with a few movies on hand :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband's aunt was very involved in the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum (to remember the bombing in OKC), and they made a penny floor out of all the pennies that children around Oklahoma donated to the museum when raising funds to get it built. It is in the area that remembers the children who lost their lives in the bombing (there was a day care center in the building that was bombed).
ReplyDeleteWe just finally bought a house and will be doing a penny floor in the kitchen!!! I know it's going to take forever and a day but I think it will be so worth it when it's done. :)
