I would paint each cd a swirl of colors, let them dry, then draw the lines with a micro tip sharpie before cutting. If you score the sharpie lines before cutting you won’t chip the paint. That way you don’t have to paint individual squares after cutting. Save time! Also you can fol the foil backwards after baking to pop the tiles off more easily.

If the layers stick good enough to the bottom layer, maybe even book pages. But that might burn?? I can feel my brain thinking of many different ways to decorate between layers. I love this idea!! I expect you could use hard plastic like from packaging or food plastic boxes. Or Shrinky Dink acetate. Punch hole in corner for charms for journal jewelry. Unlimited ideas I think.

A sharp enough exacto knife should be able to give you a score you could snap off along. Couple that with a cutting mat that has a grid already on it and your production time would be cut down dramatically with the investment of about $20 bucks in useful tools.

I’ve done this and it’s so fun! Just a couple notes to add: when you’re drawing your grid lines.. First: it helps to apply a small piece of tape on two ends to hold it in place for good straight lines. Second: don’t use too much paint.. it’ll squeeze out and make a mess of your edges…. And third: I also set the oven to 500 degrees but cut the time down to 13 minutes instead of 15. I’m getting better and better! I love this project!

Use a dedicated oven, never used for food again. I got a big toaster oven, two shelf model for under $10 at a yard sale. I use it outside with a stand fan nearby blowing away from my working area. Safety first is a real thing.

*{Easy way to remove the marker lines}* Throw all of the cut pieces into a ziploc bag, pour in a healthy dash of rubbing alcohol (the amount you use depends on how many pieces are in the bag)-seal it up and then shake/rub the bag around for several seconds, until they’re all clean. Then I fish them out and put them on a towel to dry. If I’m doing a LOT, I will reseal the bag to keep the alcohol from evaporating, so I can use it again and again-only adding a little bit of new alcohol as needed.👍

I have found that rubbing alcohol will remove sharpie/permanent marker from most objects. Try adding a little alcohol to a cotton ball and wipe each tile after cutting if you don't want black edges or an x in the center tiles. With black marker, the sooner you remove it the better results (in other words, don't wait 6 months and expect the best results!) 💖🌞🌵😷

@@suzisaintjames My apologies. I had based my comment off of a recent personal experience with using acetone on one of those frosted translucent plastic open-top totes with the handle in the middle that are often used for storage & organization in or on bathroom cabinets, cupboards, drawers, shelves, countertops, or under the sink for all sorts of smaller products, supplies, tools, etc. that ppl tend to store there. It had some kind of paint that had spilled & dried in the bottom of it, so I poured a small amount of acetone in the bottom, just enough to cover the paint, & waited a few hours before dumping it & rinsing it out. It removed the paint without any melting issues, but I’m sure that it’s a much different kind of plastic than those thin l’il CDs! Probably best to stick with alcohol for this one, folks! This tut calls for melting by way of heat after you sandwich those colors in, NOT by way of chemicals before you even get the chance. 😉
