The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Sunday, December 26, 2004CD Disco Ball Tired of those free internet discs? Make a groovy disco ball! Supplies: 1 large Styrofoam ball Cut up CDs e6000 glue Loose silver glitter Directions: Use a new pair of scissors from the dollar store. They'll be trashed by the time you are done, so don't use an expensive pair! Heat the discs for a minute in the oven (about 250 degrees), it will soften them and make them easier to cut. Cut them up in small pieces. Use the E6000 to glue them around the ball. The bigger the ball, the better it will look (I used a small ball). Let the pieces dry and then fill in the grooves with glue and silver glitter. To hang, cut a piece of wire and fold it in half. Add glue to the ends and insert it at the top of the ball. Let dry and hang, baby - now get on the floor till you just can't boogie no mo... * By Kathy Cano Murillo, copyright 2005. For more artsy goodness, check out CraftyChica.com * Labels: New Years

In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
