hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world today we are going to take a Styrofoam
ball and a used CD and we're gonna turn it into something really cool the planet
Saturn I'm going to show you how to do it right now for this project you'll
need 24 gauge wire a tapestry needle a 3-inch foam ball a CD scissors a box
cutter a cutting board acrylic paint or Uni Posca pens hot glue gun and jewels
which are optional so the first thing we have to do is cut our planet Saturn now
you're gonna want a real box cutter for this because you're gonna want to be
able to pull the whole blade out all the way very careful if you do this now as
you can see or can't see I'm not sure if you can but there is a seam right down
the middle of the ball and you should be able to use that as your guide now you
can use your CD to hold your styrofoam ball in place there and be very careful
but take your box cutter and gently rock it back and forth and make your way all
the way around your ball following that line all the way around pushing down
slightly make sure that your fingers are nowhere near that blade all the way
around now once you're going all the way around you can come back place your
knife all the way in so that it'll cut that core take your wire and figure out
how long you want this to be how to foot to 18 inches is probably good I'm gonna
take this wire and you're going to thread it through your tapestry you know
fold it over and then right at the top of one side of
the Styrofoam ball push the needle down and through now watch your fingers it's
going to come out the center pull this down unfold that edge fold it back like
the letter you pull it back tight into the Styrofoam ball pushing that edge
that you folded up like the letter J into your styrofoam this is gonna be so
that you can hang it up now twist over the edge to make a loop and just twist
it twist it twist it a couple times to seal it take your CD and place a little
bit of hot glue in a ring all the way around this ring right here this outer
ring around you go let it cool for about oh five seconds and then place the ball
right on top in the middle flip it over and repeat the process on the back side
once again give it about five seconds this is styrofoam and styrofoam when
it's too hot will melt so you just want to try to keep that from happening now
line it up you can scooch it around a little teeny bit if you need to and
there you can see you've got the planet Saturn already now you get to have the
fun part this is where you get to decorate it now you can use paints or
you can use these fabulous Uni Posca pens this is one of the larger
uni posca pens once you have the whole thing covered then you can come back and
you can add some little embellishments like little gas holes and swirls on the
planet's surface maybe a little mountain ranges now once
you're done here you want to let it dry pretty good and then we're gonna add
some jewels I like to put put the jewels on and then kind of go in like a
circular fashion so I like to go around I always think it's fun to come around
the CD as well now don't feel like you have to do this of course I think it
looks just as good without any embellishment so once you've done the
outside edge there and you can do the bottom you just keep covering it until
it's the way you want it to look and there you have it your very own planet
Saturn dangler and all that was was a CD and a Styrofoam ball now remember you
can decorate it any way you want you can paint it green you can paint it orange
you can put sequins on it however you choose to decorate it is up to your
imaginations now if you like our planetary stuff come and check us out
