Woman makes incredible 2p floor using £90 worth of coins… and a lot of patience
A WOMAN has made an incredible floor design out of hundreds of 2p coins - with the whole project years in the making.
She used £90 worth of coins and painstakingly spent six hours sticking them down to create the original flooring, with a variety of shades and heads and tails on show.
The DIY fan revealed she’d been collecting the coins for a staggering two years, and people reckon she’s got the patience of a saint.
After finally completing the project, she shared the finished results to Facebook group , where more than 2,000 people have liked her post.
She said: “Update on the 2p floor. I love it!!! It has a few flaws but not very noticeable.
“The Resin was a dream to use and cured super clear. Don't like it, keep scrolling.”
And for anyone wanting to copy the look, she said: “Resin is for flooring, tables etc. From Amazon coming from Germany.
“Called Dipoxy I believe. I used 6kg costing £56.
“Floor all together cost £150 including coins, glue, grout and resin.”
And explaining how she got so many coins, she added: “We saved slowly over 2 years but got friends and family to help over the last few weeks to get the last bit.
"£90 for the coins £150 all together."
Hundreds of people have commenced on the post, in awe of her handiwork.
One person said: “Impressive! but I'm more impressed of your patience in doing it.
“I would of cracked after a couple of lines.”
Another wrote: “I love it but bloody hell you must have the patience of a saint. Looks lovely and the shine is brilliant.”
“Oh wow it looks stunning, the resin gives it such a shine too.”
A third commented: “How long did it take to save all those pennies? Good job btw.”
While this person added: “I absolutely love it well done.
"But if I did this my kids would prob try and dig them bk up for sweet money lol I'd wake up and half my floor be gone.”
