About
made from new ´old´ cd´s
I like the idea but in my opinion it's not a very beautiful necklace. It was a hell of a work and at the end I didn't want to finish it because it didn't look like I wanted it to look. After a few days I decided to finish it and see it as a prototype. One day I will make a better one.
I bought new Cd's at the 'dollar store' because I don't have old Cd's, I am absolutely not going to destroy my Cd's and old Cd's have scratches most of the time. The bigger your necklace, the more Cd's you'll need, obviously..

Step 1
First, make a template. This will make it easier to make the puzzle work. You can skip this step but it will not make it go faster.
-
Step 2
Now you are going to cut little pieces out of the Cd using your scissors. The Cd can break but it worked out for me.
-
Step 3
If you've cut all the pieces, decide where you want the holes. Mark these with a pen.
-
Step 4
Now, light the candle, heat the sharp side of the safety pin and push it through the Cd. You have to do this a few times because the holes might be to small for the needle.
-
Step 5
As soon as all the holes are made you are going to sew the pieces together. Make sure you are in a calm place and you are perfectly calm yourself because this is really a #*&@!$% work.

Step 6
At last, attach the chain using the pliers and the jump rings. Also attach the clasp.
Might try this with silver or gold string
