a chinese lantern made out of cd's! :D
i had some blank cds lying around that i was never going to use, so i thought why not make something out of them? at first i thought i could make a necklace but i ended up making a lantern instead :D
(time excludes drying time)

Step 11.Get a cd and cut it in half.
-
Step 22. Glue some foil on a half, make sure its EXTREMELY CRINKLED. now do the other half.
-
Step 33. Once the glue is dry, paint both halfs, i did orange, pink and brown mixed together and a light blue colour, while the paint is wet, use your thumb in an upward motion to take off some of the paint, so some of the foil shows. This gives it a nice effect.
-
Step 44.cut another cd in half and then into quarters. Do the same to the foiled cd, once its dry.
<-- it should look like this.
-
Step 55. lay the quarters out so they are in a vertical line, turn over and glue. Don't worry if i doesn't stay together, once its dry.
-
Step 66. carefully put sticky tape along the back of the lantern, covering it completely. Repeat the same step on the front.
-
Step 7(if you are not using puffy paint or a pearl pen, skip this step)
7. get your puffy paint or pearl pen, and start making a patern on the
edge of the non-foiled quarters, i just did dots, nice and simple. :D -
Step 88. get some wire and start to twist the bottoms, so it makes a loop.
-
Step 99. put the wire at the top of the lantern and then some sticky tape around it, then put some more wire around it to secure.
-
Step 1010. Now your finitoed! or finished! ^__^
