Wish I had some details as to a successful cut of the CD and how to form this and what type of glue they used. It is such an inspiration to reuse something that others throw away to make something beautiful. Can you imagine out in the sun just how majestic this would look when the sun shine hits it just right
OK… this is such a great idea….. for many many reasons. One, have you seen these plastic children’s kitchens that are readily marketed at your local discount store. I mean, do you really want one of those in your home. They are an eyesore AND the flimsy parts can break and cause injury to your child. This re-purposing of an unwanted entertainment center took a little bit of creativity and a little extra in supplies but turned out fantastic. I am sure the little child receiving this was more then elated and the parents were also by not having to worry about safety or that big hunk of plastic sitting in their room.
Can you imagine having the vision and ability to create this great work or art? I have had those old cassette tape pull out on me on accident and I know I always have a fit trying to handle it to get it back into the cassette tape. I can’t imagine working with it as a medium but i am glad they did… it is incredible!
The first picture shows a planter made from old gutters that have been capped on each side and planted with herbs. Each is attached to another to create a hanging planter which is a good way for small areas or balconies. The second picture is a planter made from a hollowed out log (made with a chainsaw) and planted with lots of color which is great against the earthy tones of the log itself.
Find the average office box store thumbtacks just a little to ordinary? How about a quick sprucing up with some findings you probably already have and some epoxy glue.
Some ideas include:
-Buttons
-Jewelry Findings
-Small stones or pebbles
-Small antique door knobs
-Other
Just clean the top of thumbtack with alcohol and do the same to the part of the item to be glued to the thumbtack to ensure a clean gluing. Use of epoxy is suggested, however, goop or super glue can be used for some items.
Enjoy your new addition to your bulletin board…. it will show your personality and uniqueness by adding charm or flare to an area of your home that is surely busy. I hope this brings a smile to your face every time you see your little creations.
