She Took Her Old Cds And Started Painting Them Black Then Put Them Up On THIS. Great Idea!
Don't throw away those old cds. Check out this tutorial.
Instructables user Swapnal shared this brilliant crafts of turning your old CDs into wall art, and it turns out looking great!
First, you’ll need an old CD, a darker color of acrylic paint, a paintbrush and pencil, and a screw driver.
To begin, she started by painting the metallic side of the CD with the dark paint and then let it dry.
Next, She took a pencil and carefully drew the design that she wanted to make directly on top of the paint.
The pencil works great because it won’t show up later, but you can still see it while you’re making your design against the dark paint.
Once she was happy with how it looked, she took the tip of the screwdriver and used it to scratch off the paint where she had made the pencil marks.
This works because it exposes the shiny side of the CD underneath, creating a really cool effect.
She went through the design adding little scratch marks to add more details in spots she hadn’t originally outlined.
When it’s all done, the whole thing looks so beautiful.
The CDs all look gorgeous grouped together in a row on the wall, and the design options are endless!
She said the easiest way to attach the CDs to the wall was using blue painter’s tape, which is a nice options because it’s strong enough to hold the CDs to the wall but won’t cause any damage to the wall paint.
