DIY CD Weaving. Scrap Yarn and if 1-6th graders can do this, so can I! I have literally hundreds of DVDs that didn’t render correctly and now I know what I can use them for. Photos and story here at Make it a Wonderful Life, tutorial from the same here. EDIT: UPDATED MORE DETAILED TUTORIAL HERE.

Alright DIY-ers! This morning  I re-blogged an awesome craft idea- where you get records, and melt them into awesome bowls! 

Well, it was a rousing success <3  I made 9 bowls, and only screwed one up (it was an older record- and thicker. when they are thicker like that, by the time they get floppy enough to be malleable, the plastic begins to bubble- word of warning! - but it still looks amazing <3) 

To make the bowl easier to grab out of the oven, I used a cookie sheet (which I completely recommend). I just placed the record on the bowl, and the bowl on the sheet!

These are going to make amazing gifts! And so easy to make- the entire process took 30 min —max. Spent a whopping $0.99 for each album (well-actually one was a 2 pack, so I spent $8.00, and another $1.90  because I didn’t have a large enough glass bowl -yay Goodwill!)I had a blast with one of the best friends picking everything out, and now I have some awesome unique gifts that people will keep for years to come !

Hong Yi paints using coffee stains

[unconsumption]

Posts about Shanghai-based artist Hong Yi, who also goes by the name Red, have been making the online rounds recently. Last month, I spotted a photo of her painting of former Houston Rockets basketball player Yao Ming, for which she used a basketball to apply red paint to some surface (canvas? paper?), and now this coffee-rendered piece has turned up. Check out her work, if you haven’t seen it. [A time-lapse video (here) of Red moving her coffee cup to “paint” the above-pictured piece is interesting to watch.]
