"I downloaded this Lunch Box about a month ago and have since made four. I pack a lot of sandwiches for my family and I hated trying to get them to fit in a sandwich bag. WA-LA, the answer to the problem. This is also great for other foods and nothing gets squashed. A perfect, no cost idea!"

"I like this idea but is it sturdy? I will have to try it. I am one of those people who save the toilet paper cardboard rolls. I recycle them with ideas from these very articles. I have the necessary items so there is no reason not to do it. I am always looking for a pen or pencil. This would solve that problem. Thank you."

"What a great idea! My son just returned from Italy with a lot of maps and I think this would be a great gift. You can always use coasters. I agree about the acrylic sealer. Much better than the alternative. Thank you for the idea."

"Good instructions. I have done this before and made shopping bags and mats for the homeless. However the plastic irritates my hands so I don't do it anymore. It really does not take a lot to make something. The best to everyone who can work with the plastic."

Wild and different idea. I have never heard or seen this before. It certainly would be different. I wonder if it would stand up to things being dropped on it or would it chip? And how do you clean it? Epoxy is treated differently than regular flooring. I will have to do some reading up on it before I try it.

I love this project. It's such a fun way to get rid of all of those pennies we collect over the years.

I love this! I am definitely putting this on my to do list! This is a great thing to do with all of those pennies that get put in a jar and locked away. I am completely amazed with this project! And it sounds so easy. I am thinking how great this would look with nickels! I would love the shiny silver with my black appliances. Maybe a combination would be good. So many great ideas, and so much inspiration!

This is such an amazing project! I haven't seen them on Pinterest but will be sure to look up penny projects now. I think this would be a great backsplash in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Has anyone made a penny backsplash yet? I am wondering if the Elmer's Glue is strong enough to hold the pennies vertically on the wall.
