As you know, we're officially back in the States now and I'm biding my time in gorgeous California till my beloved Xterra shows up from the cargo ship. Due to having extra time on my hands, aside from hanging out with friends and family, I'm getting the itch to start working on projects for our new home...even though it's in a completely different state.
Todays project was so insanely simple. I mean, incredibly simple that a five year old could do it. I have a little collection of various coins I had acquired while we were overseas and I intended on turning all of them into magnets for our fridge. So, imagine trying to make sure not to lose or use certain coins over time in order to save them for this project, lol. I actually misplaced my Polish Zloty and it's in our packed household goods, so I can't work on those till later next month.
Anyway, here's all the coins I had to work with...Euro, British Pounds and Danish Krones.
I picked up some E-6000 glue and some super strong magnets from Michaels and got to work.
I did a drop of the glue on the coin and pressed the magnet into it thoroughly, allowed them to sit for a little while and came back about an hour later since I was busy doing other things. Once I came back, I tested everything out and those little suckers are good to go!
I'm really stoked with how they turned out, so I'll hammer out the remaining coins I have in order to wrap up the whole collection for the fridge. I mean, what else am I gonna use them for?
Once I get over to New Mexico, I'm kind of hoping that Albuquerque International Airport has an area where you can convert Euro into Dollars seeing that I still have 55 euros hanging out in my wallet. I mean, I HOPE I can convert it or something...otherwise, I'll be incorporating these into a rather expensive project at some point, lol.
