Fabric-covered CD coaster 

 After a small spring clean it seems we have a teetering pile of out-dated CD's hanging around. It

probably stems from our reluctance to toss previously useful belongings away. Does this happen at

 your house?

 You probably have fabric scraps too, huh? Well Sew, Mama, Sew has dubbed October as Scrap

Buster Month. If you're looking for ways to empty out your scrap basket, then it's well worth a visit.

Today's tutorial is my eco-friendly way of trying to win some shiny new fabric from their

 wonderful store. 

Ingredients (for one coaster): 

2 x fabric scraps at least 14 cm square.

enough scraps to make up 55cm of bias binding

1 x unwanted CD

thread

Before you start: 

 You will need to use a fairly sturdy fabric, as the CD will show through lighter fabrics. I've used

denim from an old pair of jeans. Alternatively you could line loosely woven fabrics with plain fabric

or interfacing scraps.

 Also it is important that when attaching the binding it is close to the CD. Otherwise the CD will slide

around and the coaster will be a bit floppy. If necessary, trim the seam allowance down to allow the

 binding to be up against the enclosed CD.

Step 1: 

Lay fabric scraps together with wrong sides together. Cut out a 14 cm diameter circle. To do this I

drew around my CD then added a 1 cm seam allowance.

Bias binding: 

Cut diagonal strips of fabric 4 cm wide. Join to form at least 55 cm of bias binding. Press binding flat

 with seams open. Trim off any over hanging corners. Fold strip in half along length and press, to

make it 2 cm wide. Open binding out flat again. Fold one long side of strip to center crease and

press. Repeat for other side. Fold two sides together along center crease again and press. The

 binding strip should now be 1 cm wide.

I forgot to photograph making the bias binding. Sorry. If you need more visual instructions then a

quick  search should help you out.

Step 2: 

Place the CD between the two circles, right sides facing out. Pin the two fabric layers together

around the CD, enclosing it in the center. Using your sewing machine's zipper foot, baste the circles

together around the CD. Make sure the CD is tightly enclosed by stitching as close to the CD as

possible.

Step 3: 

Pin and then sew binding over the raw edges of the circles. Stitch close to the edge of the binding,

 which should also be close to the CD. Trim off excess binding, leaving a small overlap and sewing

the binding end down over the binding start. Done!

Now you can pour yourself a beverage of your choosing and admire your handiwork!

Please let me know if you have trouble with my newbie tutorial-making skills. I'm happy to help and

reword any points that may be confusing.

BOLA DE CD'S

Hoy en Tutéate compartimos un original tutorial de reciclaje que hemos encontrado por la

red y nos ha parecido muy gracioso: ¡una bola de discoteca casera hecha con trozos de

CDs! Así que si alguien por aquí hoy se ha levantado sintiéndose un rey del pop o una “disco

diva”, o bien estáis planeando montar una fiestecilla (¡muchos ánimos a los estudiantes que

aún estén en exámenes, que pronto el encierro ya acaba!) a continuación os dejamos

los sencillos pasos a seguir para hacer adornos disco con poco presupuesto.

Sólo debemos cortar a trocitos algunos viejos CD que ya no vayamos a utilizar… 

… y pegarlos a una bola de porexpan del tamaño deseado (a la que antes le habremos

realizado un orificio por el que pasar un hilo con el que colgar)…

platitos hechos con cd´s viejos

  Mi viejo hizo lo mismo con discos de vinilo, sólo que no brillan como estos. Los ponía en agua bien caliente unmomento y luego ponía un plato modo abajo y otro arriba.

Mariana Salvador facil, facil!!! se limpian con esponja metalica los cd para quitar el plateado (o dejar partes alazar o como se les ocurra). Yo utilice pintura acrilica comun para dar color. Luego se arma como sandwich uno

sobre otro, poniendo un pedacito extra para tapar el agujero central. Luego se coloca unos 30-40 minutos alhorno, en algun recipiente apto, forrado con papel de aluminio....y listo! queda con aspecto vitroso, brillante,muy lindo Mariana Salvador otra.....tambien se pueden cortar en pedacitos o formas (con el mismo metodo) parahacer venecitas para decorar o piezas de bijuteria!!!

Marisa Belen Porreca Heiland  Yo tengo una ensaladera de metal que tiene la base bastante chica, lacaliento y pongo el CD en el medio... queda con ese color pero no le da una forma tan concava, capaz que laidea del agua caliente sirve!

Mariana Salvador en el horno tarda bastante, asi que no creo q lo del agua caliente funcione...habria qprobar.....yo, use un "aro" de metal calzado sobre una lata de batata pequeña...o sea...para q el cd quede

sostenido por el borde, pero que el centro quedara colgado, de manera que al derretirse bajara un poco paraq se forma la base...se entiende?

Cristina Suarez Mariana, disculpa, el CD pintado va dentro de dos sin pintar? Cuantos CDs lleva? Lleva 3?

Mariana Salvador no cristina suarez, pintas uno solo y le pones otro por encima, el pedacito para cubrir elagujero, da lo mismo q lo pongas entre ambos cd´s o por encima...es solo para que la pieza quede entera,cerrada
