CD Coaster for Father's Day

During the weekend my kids wanted to make something special for their dad for Father's day. I had a pretty good idea of what they could make. So on Saturday I took the girls to the basement. Gave them couple of old Cd's (still keeping with the Recycle & Re-use theme)  and told them to do whatever they wanted. After an hour this is what I got from them...

A special gift for a very special dad.....:):)

I gave my little one, these colorful buttons and she randomly glued them. I think she did a pretty good job, considering she has trouble sitting in one spot for a long time.

I gave my older one some remnants of glass pieces left over from my Sheesh Mahal Project. After she had finished gluing all the pieces, all I did was apply a layer of grout and the Cd coasters were all done and ready for presentation.

Finally I got back the wall decor. I must say it looks good. Taking a photo of it however was a bit difficult. Even with the flash off, I got some light bouncing off the mirror pieces... Anyway here it is...

Note: Even though my husband did not build me a Sheesh Mahal or for that matter this wall decor....he did hammer some nails on to the wall to hold it....

Grouting completed.

Look at what I have done. Messed it up...no just kidding...






I finally finished grouting the whole thing yesterday. Took me about 4 hours. I have to allow the grout to set for 48 hrs and then seal it with a grout sealer. Then I have to paint the borders and if possible next week give it for framing. As soon as I am done with that I will upload the image. Until then I have to be patient.

Update on the Sheesh Mahal project

I am afraid I will not be able to complete this project on time. I realize it was very ambitious of me to undertake this project. I received part of my supplies of scrap glass. I have to individually break them by hand to make smaller pieces. All 7 lbs of them. I have also placed an order online for the glass tiles that I need to use for the borders. It will take another 4 to 5 days to arrive.

In the meantime I am having the time of my life breaking glass. It is a huge stress buster. Here is a peek-a-boo of my work so far. Enjoy
