Lucky Penny Bracelet Tutorial

Designer Tips

Find pennies in the years of your choice.
Clean the pennies with Penny Brite®.
Using a permanent marker or Stamp Enamel, cover the surface of each penny in permanent ink. Allow them to dry.
Using a sanding pad or steel wool, remove the the permanent ink, leaving some in the indents, so the design really pops.
Attach the pennies and copper buttons to the disk on the bracelets with E-6000 or 2-part epoxy. Allow the bracelet to dry overnight before wearing.
