Creative Things to Do with Old CDs
Creative Things You Can Do with Your Old CDs
Never throw your old CDs away! They are filling up landfills everyday. It is estimated that as many as 30 million CDs are tossed in the garbage each month.
- Turn your worthless CD into a sun catcher, a wind catcher, an ornament.
Here's a site titled "101 Things to Do with CDs": www.hintsandthings.co.uk/musichall/CDroms.htm - Hang them in your garden to scare away annoying birds.
- Make them into a piece of artwork: paint, draw, scratch, hang them on your wall, cut them up into pieces and arrange them into a mosaic...
- Use them as Christmas light reflectors: find bulbs that fit through the center and hang anywhere, or outside for a neat attraction.
- Use them as candleholders to beautifully set your dinner table; they give off a nice reflection.
- Cover with felt or other fabric and use as a coaster for your coffee.
- Hang them near your store or business to attract people's attention.
- Make them into Christmas wreaths, decorations, and ornaments...
