Firework CD scratching

… not a conjunction of DJ-ing a pyrotechnics, but a rather nifty make for the littlies on Bonfire night. These CDs also make great dream-catchers for noisy nights of explosions. Many thanks to the team at bbc SMart for the paint recipe.

You will need
to ransack your collection for a couple of free junk-mail CDs
black/blue acrylic paint
washing up liquid
a paintbrush or two

Mix up some paint with half acrylic and half washing up liquid. Paint on shiny side of CDs, and leave to dry - for smaller kiddywinks you may want to do this the night before, and it’s worth doing a few spares. Once dry flip your brush around and use the tip to scratch firework designs out of the paint; the shiny stuff will glint through, very cool.

Superglue two back to back with a thread in the middle and hang over beds to watch as the sky is rent asunder outside.

Enjoy
