Instructions
- To make a hole for hanging, use flat nose pliers to heat nail and push through CD about 1/8 inch from edge. Cool.
- Twist one end of wire thru hanging hole and form hook on opposite end. This will serve as a handle while painting and drying.
- Following manufacturer’s instructions, paint each CD in the color of your choice. Hang ornaments on dowel rods across box to dry completely. Remove wire when dry.
- Adding beads: Refer to photograph. Anchor one end of the wire in the 1/8 inch hole. String beads in front of ornament only. Wrap wire and bead around CD - 13 evenly spaced rows of beads work nicely. Twist end of wire to back side of first wire. Trim excess wire.
- Hanger and bow: Tie hanger ribbon thru 1/8 inch hole. Tie 2 loop bow and wire to ornament thru 1/8 inch hole. Twist bow tails around fingers to shape and trim as desired.
