This craft is inspired by that memory. Choose a penny with a year that's meaningful to you. Kids' birthdays, anniversary date, graduation year... Create a simple memory necklace by punching a hole and adding a jump ring. Mix in a few sparklies, and you've got a great accessory or gift.
What you need:
Penny
2 crystals or beads
2 headpins
3 5mm jump rings
2 headpins
purchased chain with clasp
Metal Hole Punch
Round Nose Pliers
Chain Nose Pliers
What to do
1. Punch a hole in the penny. To make it easier, turn the hole punch over so you can line things up just as you'd like.

1. Punch a hole in the penny. To make it easier, turn the hole punch over so you can line things up just as you'd like.
2. String a bead on a headpin and make a wrapped loop above the bead. Repeat with the second bead.
3. Open a jump ring and connect the penny to the chain. Close the jump ring. Repeat with each dangle made in step 2.
That's it!
I love the Thanksgiving idea! I've got to remember that one. The necklace idea is great, too. :-)
