I altered this little "bandaid" tin to hold what coin collectors call "Wheaties" - pennies with wheat backs on them, rather than the Lincoln Memorial. My dad is an avid coin collector and I still come across Wheaties just about every week. So I made this tin for his pennies.
Stamps are by Our Daily Bread designs from God Bless America and In God We Trust.
I stamped my twill from May Arts Ribbon with the sentiment. The designer paper is Patriotic Stars by Masterpiece, available at ODBD.

This is just fabulous! I love all your touches, especially the stamped twill! What a wonderful idea. I still save "wheaties" whenever I find them. Now my DGS's think they are really cool!
