How to Make an Upcycled CD Photo Ribbon
Start by choosing the images you want to display. Print those out onto paper. I prefer using basic cardstock or copy paper, but you can also use photo paper if you want. It's just a bit more expensive.

Cut out the pictures using the CD to trace the right size and shape. You can also measure the CD before you print the image and have it print out in a circle so it's super easy to cut out.

Attach the printed pictures to the CD with hot glue or craft glue making sure it is sealed especially well around the edges and center of the CD.

Choose the ribbon or twine you want as the hanger, and cut a length that will hold all of your images with a few inches between each image.

You can pin the ribbon to the wall as is, or you can add a loop to the end so it can slip over a hook easily.

Add glue directly to the ribbon where the CDs will be placed.

Glue the CDs every few inches of the ribbon then trim the end off at the bottom if desired.

Add other embellishments like beads, sequins, or lace onto the ribbon if desired then hang it on the wall or tuck away in a box and gift to friends and family!
