Everybody would like to be a DJ - but unfortunately not everybody has got what it takes!
| |
 |
 |
|
Now you can have your own set of DJ decks in your bedroom. This is the Finger Tips CD Deck.
It's a great place to store your CDs.
|
To make it, get your finger tips on a cereal box. Cut off one of the thin sides.
Then tape the box where you open it to get the cereal out.
| |
 |
 |
|
Next, paint the box or cover it in card.
To cover it in card, draw round all the sides of the cereal box like this.
|
|
Cut the shape out and score all the lines you've drawn.
| |
 |
 |
|
Fold the card round the box and stick it in place.
|
|
Next, move on to making the decks.
| |
 |
 |
|
A lid from a margarine tub makes a great turntable, it just needs a lick of paint.
To make sure that the paint sticks to the lid, mix a little PVA glue into the paint.
|
|
When it's dry, fix the lid to the box. Do this by sticking a piece of corrugated card to the underside of the lid.
| |
 |
 |
|
Then fix the lid slightly off centre on top of the box.
A circle of black foam makes a perfect slip mat and a small bead covered with foil is an ideal centre pin.
|
To make the CD rack, you'll need six sheets of card and some strips of corrugated card.
The sheets of card will be the shelves - cut them so they're slightly narrower than the cereal box.
| |
 |
 |
|
Place a strip of corrugated card either side of the sheet of card.
Then place two CDs against the strips of corrugated card. There should be a gap in the middle.
|
|
Stick another strip of corrugated card in the gap between the CDs.
| |
 |
 |
|
Double up the strips of corrugated card like this so your CDs have got room.
|
To make it easy to take the CDs out cut two semicircles on each sheet of card like this.
Leave the bottom one as it is.
| |
 |
 |
|
Slot the shelves in the box.
|
|
The arm is a bottle top with a wooden skewer stuck on top. Put a bit of corrugated card inside the bottle top to fix it onto the decks.
| |
 |
 |
|
The graphic equalisers and level meters are bits of foam stuck on to another bit of card.
|
Then fill the CD Deck with all your favourite CDs.
You can decorate your CD Deck in whichever colours you like.

Take a look at this one - it's even got a mixer!
