2. Glittering Penny Wreath with Gold Accents
If you love a little sparkle, this glamorous take on the penny wreath is for you. A dusting of gold glitter and metallic accents elevate the humble penny into a showstopping ornament that catches the light beautifully. It’s perfect for holiday trees or as a year-round decorative piece.
Materials: 25–30 pennies, gold glitter spray paint or loose glitter + glue, gold metallic paint (optional), thin gold ribbon or metallic thread, small wreath form, hot glue gun, clear sealant spray.
Instructions: Clean and dry your pennies, then arrange them on the wreath form to ensure proper spacing. If using loose glitter, apply a thin layer of glue to each penny and sprinkle with glitter. For a quicker method, use glitter spray paint to coat the pennies in a well-ventilated area. Let dry completely. Once the pennies are glittery and dry, attach them to the wreath form with hot glue, overlapping slightly. Add gold-painted accents (like tiny dots or stripes) to the wreath form between pennies if desired. Finish with a gold ribbon bow and a hanging loop.
Time: 2–3 hours (including drying time) | Difficulty: Moderate
Display Suggestion: Hang this ornament near a window or on a tree where it can catch the light and sparkle.
