But I think we glued the photos on with rubber cement. I actually had plastic foam disks a friend had given me for the backs, but recommended felt because it would be easy to find. I've never seen the plastic disks again; seems to me they were packing for something. Anyway, what I'd suggest for felt would be either Tacky glue, spread on the Cd and allowed to dry for a few minutes before applying the felt, or Okay to Wash It, which is intended for fabric; again, I'd spread it on the Cd and let it set up just a bit, so that it isn't runny enough to bleed through.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment. The coasters have held up well; the only problem I had was with one that was in a sunny window, and the photo curled and had to be reglued. Hope your family enjoys them as much as we have!Anihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126195323787343136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864252796927182967.post-29385997746078139762015-11-17T19:14:08.044-08:002015-11-17T19:14:08.044-08:00thanks for the idea. this will be great for my fa...thanks for the idea. this will be great for my family reunion raffle gift next year.

I'm here to provide additional useful information. (If anyone cares) Clear contact paper is not the best solution because it is actually slightly opaque and it comes off fairly easily. I used it anyway because I couldn't find clear vinyl anywhere. If I ever make these again, I'll look harder. Rotary blade 'scissors' are a must to do all the cutting required. I had all of my photos blown up to 5x7 and when I was placing the photos on the CD, I held everything up the light so I could see exactly where the photo and CD were going to be. I used rubber cement and it takes a fair amount of time to dry. But, I think they turned out really well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749690809465778835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864252796927182967.post-2092015300939417802008-06-12T20:34:00.000-07:002008-06-12T20:34:00.000-07:00Hi Aniatra.
