If you read my blog before, I am into Upcycling and these
projects are just that.
CD
Cardinal Craft
Make this lovely cardinal and then expand on this idea to
create a variety of different birds.
Materials: CD, Felt, Feathers, Wiggle Eyes, Pen, Craft
Glue, and Scissors
Directions:
Start by tracing around the CD onto the felt and cutting out
the circle. Glue the circle to the CD and then you can start adding the
details. I glued red feathers on the sides of the CD to look like wings. I also
included a small piece of red feather to what will be the forehead area. For
the face, I cut a square out of black felt and rounded the corners. Glue this
on to cover the bottom of the feather you glued onto the forehead. Add wiggle
eyes and a small beak cut out of orange felt and your cardinal is done.
CD Dog
Craft
Materials: CD, Felt,
Dimensional Paint, Pom-poms, Wiggle Eyes, Pen, Craft Glue, and Scissors
Directions:
Trace around the CD onto the white felt and cut out the
circle. Glue the circle to the CD. I cut out ears using white felt and glued
them to the top of the head. The eyes were also cut out of felt and glued in
place. At this time, use dimensional paint to add the black spots if you are
making a Dalmatian. Glue on two large pom-poms to form the dog's mouth and a
slightly smaller pom-pom on top of the mouth to make the nose. Glue on two
larger wiggle eyes; and, if, you want to add a fun detail, cut out a pink or
red tongue and glue it in place.
CD Frog
Craft
Materials: CD, Felt, Dimensional Paint, Pom-poms, Wiggle
Eyes, Pen, Craft Glue, and Scissors
Directions:
Trace around the CD onto green felt and cut out the circle.
Glue the circle to the CD. Cut 4 legs for your frog out of green felt. I simply
cut out 4 capital L shapes that were a little large on one end. Glue these to
the bottom side of the CD. Glue two 1-inch pom-poms onto frog body and then
glue a wiggle eye onto each pom-pom. For the nose of the frog, I simply made
two small dots using black dimensional paint.
CD Panda
Craft
Materials: CD, Felt, Dimensional Paint, Pom-pom,
Pen, Craft Glue, and Scissors
Directions:
Trace around the CD onto the white felt and cut out the
circle. Glue the circle to the CD. But two black circles out of black felt to
be the panda's eyes. Also cut out a large black circle for the mouth area and
two smaller, black ovals for the eyes. Glue all of them in place. Cut 4 circles
out of white felt. Glue two of these on top of the ears and the other two on
top of the eyes. Make a nose using a white pom-pom. Finally, draw a mouth on
your panda using red dimensional paint and also place small dots of black
dimensional paint in the eyes. Your panda is now done!
CD Pig
Craft
Materials: CD, Felt, Pom-pom, Wiggle Eyes, Pen, Craft
Glue, and Scissors
Directions:
Start by tracing around the CD onto the pink felt and cutting
out the circle. Glue the circle to the CD and then you can start adding the
details. For the snout, I used a 3-inch pink pom-pom with two small circles of
dark pink felt glued on top of it. I cut two triangle ears out of light pink
felt and then two smaller inner ear pieces out of darker pink felt. Glue them
as shown on top of the head. Finally, glue two wiggle eyes onto your pig and
you are all done!
