Spread the glue on
the half surface of the CD and start turning and folding around the thread. Continue
with another color the same process.

Once you have
finished with the threads add some glue on the edges of the CD in order to glue
the leather parts.

Start braiding your
scrap fabric stripes to make the “chain”. I made two in each side to make it
more impressive.

When you have
finished the braiding add some glue on the back side of the CD and cover the
edges with some more leather pieces. Use the scissors and press it to glue
faster.

Tie together with
some fabric the braids and create two ribbons as clasp. You can make it as long
as you like. The final result is big and loud kinda ethnic and colorful!

you can make CD's easier to cut if you put them in very hot water first - near boiling, use tongs or something to keep from getting burnt. Some of them are pretty brittle and shatter when you try to cut them. They don't go soft, but easier to cut. If they start going brittle again, you just put back in the hot water.
