Awhile back someone on my Facebook posted
this link that had a fun idea for re-purposing old CDs. I loved it so much I sat down and did it that afternoon! With the holiday craziness I am just now getting around to posting it, but it has been done for a few weeks. I had all of these items on hand so this made for an easy project and it looks really great when it's done. When I was pregnant with my first two boys, I painted wooden letters that spelled their names and strung them above their cribs. I hadn't gotten around to doing anything like that for Isaiah yet so I decided to make this project for his room. So far I haven't punched holes in them but they are propped on his shelf and still look really good. Here's how mine turned out:
 |
| First I traced the CDs onto some card stock in the colors I wanted |
 |
| Added some modge podge to CD, covered both sides with card stock, modge podged again to add letters |
 |
Finished project - Plain but cute!

ReplyDeleteWhat font cartridge did you use??
I used the DonJuan font cartridge. I believe I used the under pressure feature:)
ReplyDeleteWhat size did you make your letters?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry...this was two years ago so I don't remember. I would just print one of the letters in a few sizes to see what you like. Thanks for stopping by!
