  DIY Ombre Penny Art
We did this fun Penny Art arts and crafts dorsum inwards 2012--but I am reposting it inwards example you
 haven't seen it yet!

It was too hence fun to practise too the colors are too hence varied...it
makes a fun scientific discipline experiment to practise amongst kids!

You likely already convey what you lot volition need:

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 frame

Burlap or sheet every bit backing

Pennies

Vinegar too salt

 

Start amongst the frame.

(I spray painted my gilded frame amongst a little

 copper too teal...just for fun!)

Wrap burlap on the backboard, take away the glass

too hot mucilage it inwards the frame.

See how many pennies check inwards the space.  

96 for me.

(my fourth grader did the math)

  

Get a bunch of pennies!

They are naturally a broad attain of colors...

Sort out the brightest, brownest, 

blackest, whitest too teal-est ones.

Now, the science.

Take about mid-range colored pennies 

too position them inwards a drinking glass dish.

Add 1/4 loving cup white vinegar too 1 teaspoon of salt.

Immediately they volition brighten too conk shiny.

Let them soak virtually 5-10 minutes.

Pull them out too laid them on a plastic plate...

don't dry out them off...

Over the side past times side ii hours they conk slimy looking

too plough really brilliant turquoise--or verdigris every bit it is called.

 

Our pennies dried over night.

Arranged them on the burlap.

I permit the kids create upwardly one's take heed which were brighter too didn't

 care likewise much if they weren't just so.

Then hot mucilage them onto the burlap!

Picture perfect!
