Directions:recycle!

  • *Important: Cover the CD hole with a piece of tape on the back side if you use small pieces
  • Put the CD on a clean plate
  • Prepare the CD by drawing the earth with the glue
  • Sprinkle your paper scraps (or other craft material). Cover generously covering the glue
  • Once complete Let it dry thoroughly overnight
  • When dry shake off anything extra(or trim the paper)
  • Add a string to the back side if you wish to hang it, by using a glue gun (or tape it on)
  • Hang it!

Options / Ideas: hi peacepal

  • Use a plastic lid in place of the CD
  • You can use a marker to sketch the Earth first if you are not good at drawing with glue, or working with smaller children
  • Use the plate to help catch the extra sprinkles and keep it on
  • Decorate beads, candy sprinkles,or any other craft product you think will work.
  • Make it a total recycle craft by using recycled paper shreds from colored packaging, paper holes from a puncher or shredded colored paper
  • Note on Glitter Glue:

We made this with glitter glue the first time--but it peeled off! We suggest you only do that if you want to have just a rubbery glitter glue Earth to hang.
