Looking for a unique DIY flooring material? Just look in your piggy bank! These floors are made from real live pennies, hand-lain and coated in epoxy. That copper shine is gorgeous, and the varying patinas on each coin make a very eye-pleasing pattern.
You could use coins in other DIY projects too - table tops, backsplashes, wall art...you name it! These pennies look great set against a black background, but I'll bet if you laid them over a white background then that floor would really brighten up!
What do you think of this look?
And if copper isn't really your color, how about nickels? This floor was sealed with regular tile grout, leaving the nickels exposed just like tiles would be.
