How to Create Crafty Decorations out of Useless CD’s

CD’s are the most purchased things when it comes to computers and technology. Every software, e-book or guide for almost everything is now available in CD’s. Catalogs and booklets have long been ruled out. But once the compact disks have fed their purpose, they simply go to waste. We have no use for them anymore and we tend to throw them in garbage. However, these useless CD’s can be turned in amazing DIY projects after recycling. The varieties of ways you can accomplish such tasks are mentioned below.

(1) Decorative Lamps:

We know that CD’s have shinny surface that reflects light very well. Attach transparent beads or pearls all around the edges of the CD using glue. Create medium height walls using these transparent beads. Now insert a connected small bulb inside the central hole in the CD.

The shiny sides of useless CD’s can be used to create abstract table top designs after recycling. This can be done by cutting small cubical shaped pieces out of these CD’s and pasting them over the top of table to create shiny patterns.

(4) Colorful Decorative Wall Hangings:

This DIY project for recycled CD’s is about creating colorful decorative wall hangings by using CD’s that are now useless. Use ribbons, paper cuttings and beads. Attach them in the desired patterns or designs on the CD’s and hang them on your interior walls.
