Re: Latest Make

Wow - that is brilliant - never knew you could do that with them! Have just sorted through my DVD collection and put lots in box to go to the charity shop when I am allowed again. Maybes I should reclaim them and get creative.

What do you use to cut them?

What is the ball made from?

Do you want any more?

Re: Latest Make

Once they're split Tabs, you can cut them easily with scissors. One side is silver, the other is purple so you get different effects.
I used some solar light globes that had stopped working. You need to sand them lightly to get a key for the adhesive to grap onto. You could use any plastic shape. I lost my finger prints several times as I got silicone in my hands. Wearing gloves doesn't help as the gloves get stuck to it

I found some blank dvds to use luckily, hoarding can be useful

Summer, I like my crafts as hobbies, if I had to make things I'd soon go off them. I don't want to part with them either.

I've seen roses made from dvds too, perhaps my next project.

I really do admire you ladies who are good at inventing and making things, I am no good at anything like that.
Really well done Tess.

Re: Latest Make

May I show you clever ladies a lovely pressie I received recently. This lady is another gifted crafter - it's our own Silver Tabby.
This is my 'Beddie bag' and I am very proud of it.

(Hope you don't me posting it on your thread Tess).

I would love to try that - I bet they pretty!

Thinks: Wonder if these would go through my die cutting machine? Will give it a try when am back on my feet.

That's very clever thinking Tess, what a great imagination you have!

We have some very clever ladies on OFF!
