Painting old CD's

We found this Tutorial here it’s a very good idea to reuse old CD's and DVD's rather than throw them in the trash and besides, this will keep children occupied for a while

What we need:

  • Paint tutorial says it can be acrylic or nail polish. Use synthetic lacquer for longstanding results,
  • CDs and/or DVD's old and broken,
  • Varnish.
How to:
  1. If you want to leave your CD or DVD transparent, sand it, with thin sand paper, when you done wash it and dry it well;
  2. If you want to keep the "mirror" effect just clean it with alcohol to remove any grass and dust. You can apply paint on the "label" side;
  3. Let your restless paint the CD/DVD;
  4. Wait at least 24h before you varnish it.
You can paint geometric figures or use a stencil.

This CD/DVD's can be used for a lot of things. We can place them in the wall, one by one or as a set, we can frame them, or build some, dream catchers...

Et voilá!
Young restless will love to explore this circular canvas.

Enjoy!
