TWO WAYS TO DISPLAY SATURN MODEL:  Place a small metal eyelet hook in the top and use fishing line to hang it. Or you can use any small piece of wood as a base. Drill a hole in it to fit a small wooden dowel than push your Saturn down onto the dowel. Both methods are shown below.

    I love it!!! It is so pretty! Did you put red glitter on the Saturn Styrofoam ball? I didn’t see instructions about when in the process you did it, but I saw a picture that you purchased silver and red glitter…

    I love this idea. So fun! At first, when I looked at the picture, I thought that you had cut the CD and I couldn’t figure out how you cut it without breaking it. Now I see that you cut the Styrofoam ball. So much smarter!

    Thanks so much for sharing at my Grandma Ideas Sharing time link party! I so appreciate your participation!
