Make a Floor out of REAL pennies

What you need (1) About 300 pennies per sq. foot (2) Weldbond Glue (3) Mosaic Tile Mesh (4) Clear Packing Tape (5) Scrap Cardboard (6) Latex Gloves (7) Cement board (8) Mortar (9) ...»
Unsanded Grout (10) Polyurethane Sealant,

Visit the blog post below to download a printable template. Put the template onto the scrap cardboard and cover completely with packing tape (so the glue wont stick). Simply cut the mosaic tile mesh into 1 foot squares and lay it over the template. Use the weldbond glue to glue the pennies to the mesh -- make sure you use a rubber glove so the oils from your hand don't tarnish the pennies! After you create all your squares, the pennies can be laid just like any tile floor!

Our penny kitchen floor.

31,140 pennies, some grout, and a little sealant later, and we have a pretty cool kitchen floor. :) The pennies are all heads up, facing the same direction.
