re-CDs
1. Old CDs can be traded in for new ones, sure, but they also
make great other crafts! For christmas,
you can just tie them together in strings and make tree ornaments.
2. Depending on how old your kids are, you can have them decorate the CDs
with paint or marker (you have to find a kind that doesn't wipe off but is
still nontoxic) - they can create patterns so that the colors show through
in places. These can then be used as coasters!
3. Another fun idea is to use them for weaving. Take yarn (with a plastic
needle if desired) thread it through the hold and tie a knot. Go in the
hole and come out around the CD, each time making a knot. Different colors
of yard can be used to create simple or complicated patterns.
4. To do a bit of science, use your CD as a prism - why does it reflect light
that way? Where do all the colors come from? CDs are good for studying
colors as well.
5. cut CDs into pieces (this can be tough). The pieces can be used to
decorate styrofoam balls or other objects - these can be ornaments or
decorative pieces that look like beautiful mirrorwork! Make a disco
ball, or a mosaic!
6. Sew the pieces into clothing - as little squares, they will
look like mirrorwork.
