Each of my CD's looked something like this with glue ...
Next I placed my circle on top of the CD ...
And then used my
brayer to attach it and
disperse the adhesive.
This is what the back looks like
before I cover it with another circle ...
Here are all of my '
fronts' glued on ...
and here are all of my '
backs' glued on ...
PRETTY!
Ok. Next I pulled out my
Big Bite and adjusted the ruler setting (
WHITE arrow). I moved the
yellow adjustable bar where I wanted it and just had to lay each CD in the
same spot and the
Big Bite punched them all the same dimension.
How
GREAT is that! Your
Crop-o-Dile will
also do this ... I just happened to have broken mine and couldn't use
it. How did I break it you ask ... I punched too many eyelets the wrong
way and the nobby with the 'tooth' fell out. My
Crop-o-Dile is toothless! LOL!
After I punched holes in each of my CDs I
attached Pewter eyelets to each one. I
LOVE my Pewter eyelets!
YUM!
I attached an eyelet to
every CD, however, on the front and back CDs I made the '
clean' side of the eyelet face out ... like this ...
And then I put them on a
ring ...
here's the
back ...
I SERIOUSLY
LOVE,
LOVE,
LOVE this album! If you are looking for
SIMPLE,
SMART,
SOPHISTICATED and
FAST ... this is for
YOU!
I'm in love and right this second (while uploading these photos) I
don't even have any embellishments on this album ... and I
LOVE it!
After I finished my prep work I pulled out a stack of
coasters I had gotten from
Table Topics and never used.
Coasters I cut the
coasters down so basically just the question showed. I inked around the edges
and then used my Sydney Collection, Ribbon and Metal Hardware to
embellish. Isn't this
fun! What a great little
conversation starter to leave laying around the house!
