I took an old CD and took two piece of cardstock paper and traced the CD onto the paper. I then took an exacto knife and made three holes in the bottom of the CD (for the beads) and one hole in the top (for the hanger). You can use a dremel, or you can use a drill with a small bit, you can even get a metal skewer hot and poke a hole thru the CD.
I then attached the cardstock onto the CD using decoupage medium. Let it dry. After it is dry then you can hollow out the holes in the paper.
I painted my paper with craft paint of one color let dry, (both sides). Then I used a crackle medium and brushed it on, let dry, (both sides). I then painted contrasting color over the crackle medium, let dry, (both sides).
Then I added a picture I printed off the Internet. I attached the picture with decoupage medium. You can do several coats of the decoupage medium. Let dry in between coats. I then put some wire thru the holes and attached the beads.
Very simple and easy to do. Let your imagination soar! You can use scrapbook paper and images too.
