[Nfb-krafters-korner] Craft Ideas Wanted

[Annette Carr]

So I did a quick search and could not find Floam.  So I searched for "air
dry clay light weight" and came up with products at Joanne's, Michael's,
WalMart, Amazon and Hobby Lobby.  Here is info on a product from JoAnne's.

Hearty Clay super Lightweight Modeling Clay 
Item # 2153591 
$5.49

Easy and fun to work with clay dries to a firm consistency within 24 hours.
It is suitable for creating delicate objects like flowers and intricate
jewelry as well as sculptures, magnets and more. Hearty Clay does not stick
to fingers yet will stick to core materials like wood, glass, wire, paper
and plastic. Once dry it remains flexible yet firm , is extremely
lightweight, can be added to, painted and sealed. White is so true that when
mixed with the color pigments the bright and be autiful tones are kept. Mix
different, color consistant, primary pigments together to achieve an
infinite color spectrum.


HTH,
Annette

The clock sounds interesting.  The floam sounds even more interesting.  Do
you think it would be at Joann's or Michaels?

Hi Courtney,

What about making clocks.  You can buy kits with the hands and the movement
mechanism.  You can use the center of the CD to secure the hands and such,
and then decorate the edge with lace, knitted or crocheted fabric, the clay
called floam, etc.  If you are not familiar with floam, it is a very pliable
clay that air dries to a very light weight solid and can be painted, marked
with markers  or  left plain.  This clay was popular when my daughter was
young, so I do not know if it is still available.  You could cover the
surface of the CD with fabric, a thin sheet of foam cut to the size of the
CD or any shape you want,  or glue glitter, sand, gems, small stones, etc to
the surface of the CD.  Whether you put print, braille or some other
indicator for the numbers is up to you.  Attach a hook on the back or maybe
use one of those wire stands or hangers for decorative plates.

HTH,
Annette

Good morning, crafters!

I have some old CDs/DVDs that I'm wanting to use in a craft(s). Do any of
you have any craft ideas using these that you are willing to share? The only
idea that i can think of is wind chimes, but a person can have only so many
wind chimes.

Thanks for your ideas!

Courtney
