 As promised here's the PAP mandala made from CD / DVD or old used. The work is a bit delicate, so it's best to start with a simple drawing. On the internet there are several molds mandalas, choose one to your liking. This is important because the mandala is a circular design that messes with our internal organization, gives order to our internal chaos, then every detail of the design, each color chosen has a personal meaning. You will need CD / DVD old varnish stained glass (or acrylic paint), aguarraz, fine-tipped brush, paint relief (dimensional), spangle / sequins, glue sequins, nylon yarn, beads / bijus

If you use a DVD, you must first open it in half with a small screwdriver. If using a CD, do not need to do this because it is solid.

After separate the DVD, get the most transparent and soak in bleach overnight. If you use the CD, you may need more time to soak until totally transparent. Some people take the film (the written part) CD with tape, but it is not always so easy. I prefer to soak in bleach. It is best to soak more than one CD / DVD drive to secure more Mandalas, in case you miss any step or is not satisfied with the result

After choosing the template, place the DVD / CD over the design and copy with the raised ink. Try making a thin line to tighten it lightly on the ink tube top embossed. It is better to practice a little on a piece of paper before you start work, until with a steady hand. The thinner and firm stroke, the more the design is beautiful.

Allow to dry and start painting with stained veneer. You can also choose acrylic or plastic, the result is a little different. The veneer stained glass gives false impression of stained glass, the transparency of the mandala is beautiful when hung in a place where the sun hits. Acrylic paint leaves mandala more opaque, but the two results are beautiful.Let dry and then add detail to your liking with paint relief (dimensional) and the sequins / sequin (stick them with glue sequins). I used chatton too.

This step is optional, but when we choose a simpler design, the details and sequin dimensional enrich the work

Once dry, heat the tip of a nail in the flame of a candle and stick the top and bottom of the mandala, try to keep the holes in a straight line. Use pliers to hold the nail not to burn yourself. Pass the nylon cord through the holes and fill them with the bills at the end put a necklace to give greater weight and balance mandala. You can also use tape on the end. Give preference to small beads whose color harmonizes with the colors of the mandala. I tied a loop of aluminum can to hang the mandala on the wall.  

To clean brushes use the aguarraz and then wash with soap and water, if they do not, they become hard. Do your job in a cool place, preferably away from children, as the veneer stained and aguarraz are toxic. 

mandalas The more you do, they will be more and more beautiful! Earlier we get disappointed with the way it is working hard to correct the errors in this type of work, but do not give up and continue improving!
