Come 2 Chat: Challenge 3 – Disc O Party | Who Are You Calling Crafty?

This week’s Come 2 Chat Challenge was to take an old CD or CD Case and make something for a birthday party. I decided to make a picture frame. I know it isn’t birthday themed but I thought it would make a really nice present for someone. I also had my Faux Wood demo piece from The Paint Box that if I didn’t use in some way it would have been mangled by the Booga.

I admit I went into the demo knowing I was going to make a frame (I just didn’t know how). I ended up taking the the faux wood burning piece (painting on a cereal box) and gluing it to foam core. I painted the foam core with Burnt Umber paint. I took a CD and cut it with an Exact-o Knife a 1/4 of a piece (think of it as a piece of pie). I then needed to figure out a way to secure the “arm” to the base of the frame. METAL TAPE – it is used in duct work so it is strong and flexible – it worked perfect! I then decided I needed to adhere the faux wood to the CD once again I used metal tape. Once I covered the foam core with metal tape I added some brown alcohol ink to the metal tape. I left a space opened on the bottom so I can slip a photo through.
