How to Make CD Butterfly Decorations

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 3 to 4 butterflies

Supplies:

• 1 old CD
• fingernail polish remover
• tape
• scissors
• black permanent marker
• gold fingernail polish
• gold glitter gel
• paintbrush

Steps:

1. Scratch a small area on the label of the CD. Now place your tape next to this area and pull the tape towards you. This will remove the label from the CD. Continue on like this until the entire label has been removed.

 
2. Take a paper towel and some fingernail polish remover and clean both sides of the CD. Do not use a fingernail polish remover that has acetone in it this will damage the plastic.
