Reverse image, recycled, CD stars shimmer and shine when made with hologram paper. For the 4th of July holiday, make these stars in red and blue with a touch of silver for the white. Both the shine from the CD and the shine from the paper will give a dazzling effect to this craft for kids to make.
Hologram paper can be found at your local dollar store. For a heavier weight use party hats (8 to a pack in multiple colors) or purchase large gift bags for each color you are making. For an easier craft, print the CD Star pattern directly on red and blue paper and bypass using the hologram design.
