CD Dreamcatchers

By , About.com Guide

Find out how to make a unique dreamcatcher using old CDs, submitted by Maureen Gilbert.

Materials Needed:

  • CD's (one per dreamcatcher)
  • String (embroidery floss works nice)
  • White glue
  • Paint brush (for applying glue to cd)
  • Colored sand
  • Glitter
  • Pony beads
  • Feathers
  • Drill (small holes--approx 1/8 inch)
Instructions:
Drill holes in a cd - about 4, more if you like, approximately 1/4 inch from the edge. Loop a piece of string through one hole at "top" of cd to hang disc. Tie strings approximately 8 - 10 inches long through 3 (or more) holes toward bottom of disc.

Apply glue to entire disc (label side). Sprinkle sand and glitter into glue to cover label and allow to dry. These can be re-glued and re-sanded/glittered if you do not like the results the first time. This will also add Texture to project.

String beads onto threads. Use one extra bead to tie off at end of string. Push feathers up into beads. Hang and enjoy!
