G’day! I thought for my Dusty Attic extra this month, I’d do something Christmas-sy.
I had this CD & decided to create a sort of spinner decoration.
Here’s the end result. This is my ‘funny’ photo. I found a hook on our verandah, but DH was in the background. He decided to ‘hide’, LOL!!!
Giggles! This is a double sided creation….& I’ve done a step by step, if, like me, you’ve got CD’s that could be ‘up-cycled’:
1. Adhere ribbon through centre hole, onto both sides of the CD:
2. Cut out patterned paper. Use CD as a template. I’ve used 2 different
papers:
3. Adhere. I used PVA glue, which worked really well:
4. Add your title, or some nice Christmas words.
I outlined my words, as they didn’t ‘pop’ quite enough:
paint marker, then wrote the words on them. I added gold glitter nail polish
& finally some fine glitter, which stuck beautifully to the nail polish:
For the ‘wrong’ sides, I added my own lid lines with a marker:
paint pen, then adding some Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze on the baubles, with
some fine glitter sprinkled over, this is how they turned out:
Here is how the front and back turned out:
I LOVE how you can actually HANG some of the little jars – on the
right side, above.
I really find those ‘traditional’ colours of red and green hard to use, so
was pleased with these ones! Some close ups:
You can see I also rubbed some DA Vintage Gold paint around the edges:
And the ‘joy’ side:
I added a die cut bell behind the chippy on this side, too:
I hope this gets you enthused about some Christmas decorating. It is coming up fast!
Fabulous creating Lizzy! Love it!
Lol re your hubby – love the fly swatter!!!! Seriously though, what an awesome project.So clever! I adore the hanging mason jars.
