Ever since AOL provided in the mail free CD’s, I’ve had to resource:
Coasters: Their size and shape make them perfect for protecting surfaces from drink rings. Add felt or cork backing for a polished look.
Decorative Art: Paint, mosaic, or glue them together to create wall art, sculptures, or mobiles. Their shiny surface catches light for a retro aesthetic.
Garden Reflectors: Hang them in gardens to scare birds or add a reflective sparkle to outdoor spaces.
Clock Faces: Use as a base for a DIY clock with a clock kit, leveraging the CD’s circular shape.
Ornaments: Decorate them with glitter or stickers for holiday tree ornaments or sun catchers.
Spindle Organizers: Stack them on a spindle to organize cables, threads, or small items.
Reflective Bike Spokes: Attach to bike wheels for visibility at night.
Kids’ Crafts: Use in school projects like creating shiny fish for a classroom ocean scene.
Room Dividers: String multiple CDs together to make a shimmering curtain or divider.
Mini Frisbees: Toss them for light outdoor fun (though they’re not as aerodynamic as real frisbees).
Photo Frames: Glue a photo in the center and decorate the rim for a quirky frame.
Mosaic Tiles: Break them into pieces for mosaic projects on vases, tabletops, or mirrors.
Plant Markers: Paint or label them to mark plants in a garden.
Party Decor: String them up as garlands or scatter them on tables for a retro-themed party.
CD Wall: Glue them to a wall for a reflective, futuristic look in a room.
My dad made a Christmas tree to put out in the yard with them.
I had friend’s in the country that used them for target skeet.
