Bahamas Souvenir Penny Earrings

Tammy Powley
What do you do with those odds and ends of loose change after taking a trip to the Bahamas, or any other country for that matter? Why not turn them into souvenir earrings? I had a few Bahamian pennies in my purse after taking a short cruise to the islands and thought they were so pretty that I turned them into wearable memories of my trip.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

2 Bahamian coins (or other souvenir coins)
2-Hole metal punch
Black marker Copper wire, 21-gauge, 5 1/2 inches
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
Nylon-nosed pliers
Jeweler's file
Acetone
