For this top I used the Sun, Waves and Flip Flops image at From the Heart Stamps. I resized the image to fit on a CD. I colored the image with Copic markers and added several colors of Stickles to make it sparkle then glued the image to the CD. Finally I glue a marble into the center and once the glue is dry you can spin it and it looks like this.
See the sparkle? This top will spin for a very long time and the illusion changes as the speed lessens. It's very cool! We had a great time making these. The challenge at I {heart} sketches with a twist is usually a sketch but I used the twist this time: make it sparkle. This would be a great thing to do with your kids this summer. You can pick up a pack of marbles at the dollar store. And if you need CDs I have hundreds. I'm always looking for CD projects to do with the Girl Scouts. LOL!
