Penny Portrait Abraham Lincoln Kit – Unique DIY Craft Wall Art
More than just a poster
Each kit includes an 18 x 24 poster on sturdy card stock, a 12 page booklet with facts and info about Abe Lincoln, coin collecting, chemistry experiments with pennies, optical illusions and more. We also include an assembly tips and tricks guide, but rest assured it’s as simple as 1. Put glue on penny 2. Put penny on poster.
A truly one of a kind work of art
If you’ve been shopping around trying to find the best place to buy a portrait of Abe Lincoln you can make from your own pennies, look no further. It’ll take you a couple of hours, a bottle of glue and that old container full of pennies you’ve been wondering what to do with. It’s a great activity to keep the kids entertained on a rainy day. If your kids can work with glue and pennies, (and you trust them not to eat either) then they are old enough to complete a Penny Portrait.
Can you say conversation piece
Pictures don’t do this item justice. The way the poster shimmers & shines in person is just stunning. Pennies are not only dark and light due to oxidation, but also matte and shiny. The end result is an image that is stunning, especially from across the room.
A Penny Portrait kit is a fun way for kids and grown-ups alike to create a fantastic work of art and maybe learn a thing or two in the process.
Each kit includes a poster of Abe Lincoln made from images of actual pennies. The poster is suitable for framing as is, but with a little effort, some glue, and 846 of your own pennies, you can have a truly unique work of art that you will enjoy for years to come.
We include easy-to-follow instructions for sorting your pennies, adhering them to your poster and framing the final portrait. We even include a 12 page educational booklet filled with information including:
Interesting facts about the life of Abraham Lincoln.
The history of the Lincoln penny and a valuable penny guide.
Simple and safe chemistry experiments with pennies and household materials.
How your eye recognizes the image of Lincoln (even when it’s made of pennies).
This booklet is a great way to extend learning in a classroom setting and is perfect for homeschoolers. Where else can you learn about history, politics, art, chemistry and money all in one fun-filled activity.
A priceless work of art that you create. (Technically not priceless, but worth at least 846 pennies.)

Lincoln from Lincolns
What exactly is a Penny Portrait?
A Penny Portrait is a fun-filled way to use those pennies you’ve been collecting over the years to make a unique work of art. Each kit includes an 18 x 24 poster of Abe Lincoln made from images of actual pennies. The poster is suitable for framing as is, but can also be used as a template to glue on your own pennies creating a visually stunning copper masterpiece. Seriously, it’s an eye-catching conversation piece. You simply match your pennies to one of the four shades on the poster and glue them on. It is really that simple.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
I saw an article about a father and son who created a giant portrait of Abe Lincoln out of pennies. Their image was much larger and they used two shades of pennies. I thought other parents and kids might enjoy a project like this and went about trying to create an improved, easier to assemble version on my computer. Using four shades of pennies, I was able to decrease the size of the image to 18 in. x 24 in. which seemed a bit more manageable.
How many pennies does this take?
There are 846 pennies in the 18×24 Penny Portrait.
349 Shiny new pennies
112 Lightly used pennies
97 Well used pennies
288 Old as dirt pennies
On the plus side, you know your finished work of art will be worth at least 8 bucks.
