Description

Create a beautiful CD suncatcher using old materials, bringing light and color into your space through a mindful crafting process.


Ingredients

  • Old CDs (preferably scratched or damaged)
  • Clear fishing line or transparent thread
  • Colorful glass beads (make sure they are smooth)
  • Scissors (for cutting the fishing line)
  • Hot glue gun or low-temp glue (careful with the heat)
  • Optional: Paints or markers (to create designs on the CDs)
  • Optional: Additional embellishments (like ribbons or charms)

Instructions

  1. Begin by choosing the CDs you want to use. Feel their weight and the smoothness of their surfaces.
  2. Rinse the CDs lightly with water or wipe them clean, if needed.
  3. If you wish to paint or decorate, apply your designs using paints or markers, letting the colors flow.
  4. Cut a length of fishing line, roughly two feet long.
  5. Start threading the fishing line through your glass beads.
  6. Tie a knot in one end of the line after a few beads.
  7. Position the CD in the center and tie another knot on the other side.
  8. To finish, you can add more beads below the CD or create a hanging loop.
  9. Hang your suncatcher where light will dance upon it.

Notes

Gently wipe with a soft cloth for cleaning. Swap out beads for seasonal changes.
