Recycling dvds

This week we had the challenge to go through our own dvd collection. How did it go?
Carolyn Dube told me she had done it a while ago and it was like a time capsule. It was actually a really fun family night!

As I told you last week you can donate old dvds but what about those that you have with pictures or documents you no longer need? Here´s an idea: a post it notes holder for your fridge. I showed it on my own fridge for you to have an idea of size. :)

 For the post it holder let´s start with the materials. Namely printed napkins and decoupage glue plus a dvd, of course. I chose a few bits and pieces for decoration too.

 Remeber to take the white base off the napkins! That will leave you with a very thin printed layer. Brush decoupage glue on the dvd, place the napkin on it and gently brush the glue over the piece.

 For a best finish, sand the excess off.

 Cut some cardboard to measure for a second napkin. I used a cake mix box. Repeat the decoupage process.

 Time to play with embellishments! In my case: blue wings, flowers with a fabric covered brad and an owl stamped image. Voilá!

Another thing I tried: a dvd mandala.

Noticed I said TRIED? Yea, you smart thing! Confession time. It didn´t turned out as I expected. Might work on it a bit more but most probable will erase it (easily wiped with a damp cloth) and start another thing.

Each Monday I bring you a task to declutter and organize your spaces and each Friday something practical for storage or crafty for recycling.
