How to Make Decorative Coin Wrappers

Viola suggests using paper coin wrappers instead of plastic and filling them with coins first. Wouldn’t it be fun to get a roll of money all decorated instead of a paper bill in a card? This is a great idea for a child’s gift and I love the idea and creativity in this very frugal craft idea. Thanks Viola and Sapphire!
The pictures are self-explanatory. Paint a coin wrapper the desired color and go wild with the embellishments. This would be a good way to use up those odd stickers, sequins, buttons and such.
