CREATIVE PROJECTS WITH OLD CDs
Crafts with CDs are fairly popular with loads of inspiration available out there.I am going to share a
project which I created for this Hop.It is a cute little project which kids and mothers both will enjoy
to make. I am sharing step by step pics with directions for you.
Funky FRIDA KAHLO Face with old CD.
Materials required for this project:Old Cd,some corrugated sheet(if not available just use any
cartoon box and take off the top layer of brown paper),marker,old flowers(can use any type of
flowers,paper,foam,fabric,artificial plastic ones also),piece of red paper or felt and old pair of
earrings,some scrap pattern paper or any skin tone paper(if not available use any white paper)
Step by Step :First you need to make the templates which I made.One piece of circle which is the
size of CD and one template for hair.Please refer to the pic attached to get an idea.
Now just take some scrap paper in the color of skin and cut the circle.For the hair ,I have used black
corrugated sheet and cut two templates.You can use foam in black color or any old cartoon box
lid.Just peel off the top brown paper layer to reveal the corrugated sheet below and paint the same
with black acrylic.
Now paste these on to the Cd with white glue.I have made a cut for her hairband which was made
with cloth inserted in between the two layers of corrugated sheet templates
Now you can draw the eyebrows and eyes of Frida. As her eyebrows were iconic as they almost meet
in center,similarly draw them to get the resemblance of her.
Now the fun begins as you embellish the the hair with loads of flowers.You can use
paper,foam,fabric,plastic the cheap artificial ones which you may have discarded ,all come in
handy.Just try and choose some red flowers .Also cut a small heart shape from felt or red paper to
make the lips..Also I added some earrings to add fun factor to it.I pasted some tape at the back to
hang it.You can further attach more ribbon at bottom and convert it into clip storage also.The
possibilities are endless..
Hope you will be inspired to try it out with your kids.

Thanks all for being here and I sincerely hope that you got inspired to reuse,restore and recycle .
Do participate in the instagram hop and present your creations to win loads of prizes.
My task for you all is to recycle an old Cd and create something useful out of it.The maximum use of
waste material in embellishing or the most out of the box gets a goodie bag from my side worth
Rs.1000 from Icraft (also includes a handmade piece done by me)
