CD Christmas/Photo ornament

**KKCondrey** · 11-05-2005, 02:33 PM

Items Needed:

Old CD (now, a use for all those AOL/People PC Disks...lol)
Felt
Photo
Glue
Ribbon, Rick-rac or raffia

Instructions:

~Trace around the CD onto a piece of felt. Cut out the felt circle.

~Cut a 10-inch piece of ribbon. Tie the ribbon into a loop. Put a dab of glue onto the back of the CD towards the outside edge. Press the ribbon loop into the glue to make the hanger.

~Spread glue over the entire back of the CD. Center the felt circle on glue and gently press. This will cover writing and ribbon ends, and it will be the back of your ornament.

~Cut around the figure in the picture you are using. You can cut it into a rectangle shape, circle, or whatever you want. For a fancy edge, use pinking shears.

~Trace the picture onto a piece of felt. Cut out the shape, making it about 1/2-inch wider than the picture. Glue the photo onto the piece of felt so you can see the felt on all sides. Glue this onto the center of the CD, making sure you cover the hole completely.

Here's a similiar one I did awhile back for a scrapbooking contest.
I cut 2 pieces o cardstock to fit the CD and glued them down. Then I just took a wallet size pic of DD in her dance costume, matted it and glued it on and embellished. I stamped a dancing mouse in a tutu on a little piece of cardstock and added that with some ribbons and glitter.

A little different than the directions here, but another idea. (The picture is not very good, but you get the idea)
