PROJECT: CD MANDALAS MOBILE

PROJECT:  CD MANDALA MOBILE

Let´s pratice the Geometrical Constructions by designing our own MANDALA and paint it in a CD.

NOW LET'S GET STARTED WITH THE CD

YOU WILL NEED...

1. CDs to recycle

1. YOUR MANDALA

1. A paintbrush

1. Relief paint or permanent markers

1. Glass or acrylic paint

1. Enthusiasm and creativity

STEP BY STEP

PEEL THE CD

There are several methods: either in boiling water or cut a piece of adhesive tape, stick it firmly onto the CD, and pull sharply. Using a cutter, carefully make a radial cut on the side of the CD with the aluminium. Do this very gently, taking care not to damage the plastic as much as possible. 

COPY YOUR MANDALA TO THE CD 
AND ASSEMBLE THE MOBILE
