It’s that time of year again! I hope you enjoy my series this year. Day 1 is an ornament I’ve thought about many times and just never got to it. So this year I decided it will be #1.
I’ve seen diy ornaments in the past with broken cd’s but did you know if you melt the cd a
little bit it gets all sparkly? It get’s so sparkly and shimmers.
It’s so beautiful.
You will need:
- 2 cd’s
- Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel )or any paste type medium you have on hand)
- Scissors
- 3″ Smooth Foam Ball
- Heat gun
For topper:
- 20 gauge wire
- Bead cap
- Tear drop bead
I used 2 blank cd’s the memorex kind that have a purple hue.
Cut cd in half,
Pry apart the layers,
The cd will be thinner and easier to melt.
I used my heat gun in a well ventilated area to melt the cd a bit and did not touch the cd till it cooled completely.
Then just cut it into a bunch of tiny squares and triangles.
Now add the Liquitex to the ball in sections using a paint brush and then just place the cd pieces in the liquitex.
Once you’ve covered the ball let dry and add your topper.

I only started crafting this summer, and love, love, love your YouTube videos! I needs connection to all your videos! Would be great if there was a page with a list of all your videos from day 1, when you first started. Love and guidance please.🤗
Hi, I love this project!! Ordered a heat gun and a box of 100 blank cd’s which came today. I followed your directions and can not get the cd’s to come apart. I tried melting them whole and it doesn’t work as well as yours. I pulled out a couple of old cd’s from my stash and had a little better luck, but still not as good as yours. I don’t see comments on the YouTube video to see if there’s any tips or anyone else having trouble with the cd’s. Any tips would be appreciated!! Love all your ornaments!
