Fall Decor: Repurposed CD Holder.  Learn how to use Spanish moss and some wood letters to upcycle an old CD holder into lovely fall decor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Thrifted CD holder – mine cost $0.75
  • White foam board – costs $1 at the Dollar Tree
  • White spray paint (I actually found a brand new can of spray paint at the thrift store for just $1!)
  • 4 oz bag of green spanish moss
  • Course sand paper
  • Wooden letters – I chose F-A-L-L (and found them at Walmart for $1 each.)

Instructions

  1.  I decided to spray paint the CD holder all white.  I put on 2 coats and let if fully dry.  I did distress it a bit using course sand paper.
  2.   I knew if I was going to create a farmhouse fall decor piece, then this CD holder that I was ultimately turning into a frame, needed some sort of a back.
  3.  So I simply used a white foam board to create the back.  I traced out the size I needed, cut it out, and hot glued it to the CD holder after the spray paint was dry.
  4.   Once the foam board was attached, I trimmed off any edges and be sure it is smooth and flush to the back.
  5.  Then I pulled apart in small pieces the green Spanish moss and hot glued that on until it filled in well on the white foam board.
  6.  Since Walmart had all of these letters already painted white and distressed, it makes it easy to just glue them on.
  7.  I used hot glue, but again you may want to use Liquid Fusion if you are concerned with high temperatures or humidity levels where you live.
