A very funny conversation in another blog started me thinking...

How many things can you do with those old AOL (or other) CDs? I mean arty things. Anyone can chuck 'em under the bed. But you - you can do cool stuff! I've always just used them as coasters, but starting today, with the help of people who have way too much time on their hands, I'm moving up!

First on the list, a CD Disco Ball. Looks easy, though you'd better have strong hands and sharp scissors.

Watch the video:

How about trendy patio lights?

Here's A Whole List Of Things To do With Used Cds. Ideas there include walpaper borders, candle drip cathers, and a zillion Christmasy ornaments/decorations.

Make a mini Hovercraft. Yes. Do it:

Try sculpture.

Build a lamp.

Maybe it's worth using the CD as a canvas?

Wall art made from CDs. It's a .pdf, and it's way too artsy (and not nearly techie enough) for me. Scrapbookers will love it.

Should have seen this one coming: Make a mobile.

Sheer genius - it's curtains for you!

Rumor has it that you can string old Cds around the garden to scare off the birds who pluder your veggies...

You can buy clock works from your local hobby shop, and use old CDs as clock faces.

I'm at work, or I'd spend more time looking. Hopefully, there's something there for you to try!
