Do you also have the problem like me of having scraps that lie around??? Well I never know what to do with them other than making a ton of cards for my ever-patient friends & family. Not so long ago I discovered these cute door hangers… normally they are made from card stock & the likes but I thought using one of my piles of at least a thousand trashed CD’s might be the answer for the base.

Here are the instructions:
1) Take a pile of coordinating items from your stash of scraps e.g. Lace, ribbon, flowers, decorative brads, alphas & a couple of pieces printed papers etc.
2) Using a hand drill carefully make a hole in the middle @ the top of the CD for inserting your hang tie.
3) Find a jumbo sized photograph suitable for trimming down.
4) Carefully mark the photograph using the CD as a template & trim down to an appropriate size.
5) I placed the photograph on the right hand side & kept all the decorative layering to the right but you can use whichever side you’d prefer.
6) Layer bits ‘n bobs together making sure to keep the widest piece at the bottom & the narrowest like the lace at the top.
7) For a neat finish at the bottom of the hanger, I cut a separate piece of paper & adhered it over all the loose ends of the lace & paper layering. It is onto this piece that the flourish cut from a piece of printed-paper & the layered blooms are stuck.

The finishing touches to your nearly completed project, are alphas loosely
attached to the edge of the inner edge of the photograph & a hand cut
butterfly (I didn’t have a butterfly punch handy so it looks a bit like a fish~haha!)
The ribbon for hanging is inserted into the pre-made hole in the CD & tied at the top with a bow.
9) On the back I stuck a piece of journaling paper & customized a love note to my little girl.
10) Voila! finished….a lovely gift for someone special.
Happy creating guys!
