Here you have the product of way too much misdirected time that could have been spent doing actual work! (check out the Living Photo here) I’ve always loved disco balls, not really to disco under but as a fun addition to a boring room! I began with my guy’s childhood globe which I commandeered and immediately spray painted silver (not giving him a chance to get nostalgic and change his mind!)
Next I took a sheet of silver paper found at Michael’s, measured and cut lots and lots of tiny squares. Cue the glue gun and endless patience!
If you’re wondering “that must have taken a while” the answer is yes. Yes it did !
The outcome was really great, you can hardly tell it isn’t real glass! This shiny fellow is now sitting on a living room shelf stealing the show and all the sunlight!
Cheers!

I think I used to have the same globe. Now I wish I still had it so I could disco it up!

what kind of paper did you use? just silvery paper?

Yes! You can get shiny silver paper at Michael’s or other craft stores. It looks like a mirror, but not quite as clear. Goos luck! xo Alana
