On the eighth day of Christmas
My true love got from me
An eight penny wallet
A seven-finned Fan-tangle

Rick's Notes:
Molly created this wallet using white and black Zentangle ATC tiles, clear packing tape and a snap.
These pennies are ones that Maria and I found as we walk together. We treasure every little thing we encounter and these pennies, full of color, character and history, are some of our favorites.

Love this little coin case!
What a cute little pocket!
Very clever idea!
Dear Abbey calls these "pennies from heaven," as they often seem to be messages from loved ones who have died. Have you experienced that?
Penny penny pick me up
And all day long you'll have good luck!
What special treasures to place in such a special treasure holder! Another wonderful project! Thank you for sharing!
Decorative duck tape wallets have been outclassed here! Beautiful and sentimental idea!
Mine was: See a penny, pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck.
That is such a cute, clever and nicely Zentangled little coin purse.
Clever, clever, clever!
Oooo - I love this!!! Thanks for sharing!
Find a penny
Pick it up
And all day
You'll have good luck!
This little coin case is just adorable! I can see it holding other things as well. Would be a neat presentation case for jewelery too!
Such a cute idea! And I love the story about cherishing the small things you find along life's journey :-)
Another unique idea. Nice to slide a gift card into for Christmas :)
Every day I look forward to this post. So lovely. I think that treasuring the pennies is just so wonderful.
Loving the ideas from the Zentangle family. Thanks for treating us like family and sharing so many ideas.
I love the creativity that you share. What an inspiration. Thank you!
Such a cute little coin wallet. I love picking up, and collecting, pennies too. Sadly, our Canadian government has recently phased our penny out, so they're much harder to find now!
The story about the pennies was charming.
I love the words: We treasure every little things we encounter.
The wallet is beautiful!
It's amazing what can be done with very little materials to work with. Yes, this little wallet looks like it used ATC's to begin with. Well, they always say that ingenuity is the mother of invention. Very nice.
With all the things you make with duck tape, and now packing tape, I love the tangles wallet from tiles. For some reason the black on white just is outstanding to me.
Made me smile! I just found a penny yesterday!
A very lovely way of keeping the pennies from your walks - they're such good ways of keeping memories too. The tangled wallet makes them all the more special.

funnily the captcha included the letters 'park' it must have known the content of your post for it make me think of a walk in the park.
What a great idea! So many things you can tuck inside. :-)
What a great gift idea. Who would have thunk to use Zentangle tiles to make such a cute little coin purse? Love it.
Another awesome idea . . . it'll be perfect for our gift-card exchange at work - Thanks!
Just too cute!!! Please consider posting a tutorial.
The designs on the purse are awesome
I love it! Cheryl C. :)
What a terrific idea. I love it.
What a lovely idea... would be nice to teach the concept to children.
Love the beautiful coin purse and the idea of appreciating the little treasures that await us if we but notice.

Neat project! Gave me an idea of zentangling a little envelope to wrap a gift card.
What a darling little purse!
Beautiful !
Yet another clever idea! Wonderful.
It would also be wonderful for gift cards! So versatile!
Ingenious idea for my pennies from heaven! Just beautiful Molly!
You never know where Zentagle will take you!
Fantastic idea! It would make a beautiful gift.
I love this idea.
Love this one!!
Brilliant idea! Love this!
Such a cute idea. Thanks for sharing!
I love it. I hope you will post directions to make the wallet.
Love this!
When I see coins on the ground I leave them be, hoping they will be found by a child or someone who needs them more than me. I delight in the pleasure they have the potential to bring someone else.
I'm always glad to see uses for my tiles. This one is useful--and easy!
Brilliant!! Love this clever use of ATCs!
Delightful! Molly should post coin-purse making instructions on her blog!
Oh my! Is there ANYTHING that can't be made out of zentangle ATC cards? So COOL! And, I'm so glad that your walks bring you exciting treasures that create fun memories of special time together!
Margaret, I think that is a smashing idea!
I shall let her know.
Merci beaucoup.
Maria
Great treasure, put in a awesome wallet.
Just darling!any
Penny for your thoughts
So many wonderful ideas to explore.
I love the idea of a little keepsake wallet. I, too, collect pennies (a habit I picked up from my dad).
I never not pick up a penny! I beleive in cherishing the smallest of God's blessing or how else can I beleive and expect to desire more from Him.
Oh the things you do with ATC's! I'm so inspired!
I'm going to have to make one (bunches?) of these. I just happen to have snaps and a need for a cute little wallet!
Now that is really creative. Beautiful!
What a wonderful idea! Must make some!
So beautiful!
Brilliant! So clever.
Adorable and useful! Would be great for giving gift cards
I LOVE this idea!
This a great idea for Gift Cards,
I'll definitely be using this clever idea! But perhaps with a good coat of fixative.
I love this! So many clever and creative ideas!
LOVE....
A penny and a tangle for your thoughts! Love!
Oh my Goodness... I am going to do this !!
What a great little wallet for business cards!
Pretty AND practical! Thumbs up!
Love this!
I never pass up a penny. Learned that from my dad!
Wonderful idea!
Molly the innovative one! This is a fun idea.
I wonder if a gift card would fit inside? I love the idea, tho, of a special container for tiny personal keepsakes like your "found" pennies. Mmmmm ...
sooooo clever!
Absolutely precious.
Oh, it's so cute, and definitely unique!
This is awesome! It would make a lovely presentation for Christmas money gifts.
I would like to make a business card holder like this - very classy
Now I can see this working for my students who save "Pennies for Patients" as a service project. I encourage them to save the found coins which then will have a greater impact on someone's life. Having them in their own tangled purses will set that money apart, consecrate it, if you will, to a higher purpose.
love that there is yet another way to use the ATC's.. and I love the eight pennies.
now one for you.... and aunt used to give her nephew a bag of pennies every Christmas...she was his "Penny Ante". :D
Like this.
Awesome. Did you laminate the cards to keep them safe from wear and tear?
Love the ATC wallet. LOVE LOVE the pennies!
This is so cute! You are giving so many great ideas
Beautiful penny purse.
This is my favorite so far.
Wow ..... I want one. Maybe I will have to think of making my own. The hunt for White wallets begins!! xx
Maybe my fav, I love the function and the sentiment!
Love it!
Wonderful idea and I think this one is very lovely. I am wondering how to apply the snap...is there a certain glue to use or did you actually sew it onto the paper?
Thanks!
Cute.
Where do you get all the ideas fr.o.m.???
:-)
What a cute idea. This would make a great stocking stuffer.
Quite simple yet elegant.
where to start my tangle, trace a penny a dime a nickle a quarter all will do, start there to make a christmas tree.
So creative. Blows the socks off the silver duct-tape wallets I have seen.
What a cool idea! Thanks for the packing tape tip!
I have really enjoyed reading all of these amazing comments. I will definitely come back here when I need a boost of inspiration.
Sweet keepsake! I like to pick up stones and pebbles....wonder if I can modify to accommodate?
