What can be made from computer disks. CD pendants

The invention of the compact disc was a breakthrough in the music industry. They made it possible to preserve sound in a revolutionary new quality. Therefore, every music lover considered it his duty to collect an impressive collection of records. But technology does not stand still, and today we have access to more convenient media. However, don't throw the discs into the scrap yard - they can be used in unexpected ways.

Make coasters for glasses

To prevent a glass of juice or water from leaving wet spots on the table, you can place it on a napkin. It’s better to make decorative stands using your favorite discs. To do this, you need to paint the top of the disk with acrylic paint or make an applique. Use textile glue and any fabric with a non-fraying edge.

Lay out a mirror mosaic

Cut the disks into small pieces. The most convenient way to do this is with garden shears. If there are none, you can try to break them. Choose any surface you want to decorate and cover it with glue. Ceramic tile adhesive works well. After the mosaic has dried, fill the gaps between the shards with tile grout. Mosaic is perfect for decorating tables, cabinets or creating panels.

Use the mirror surface of the disc as a frame

Place children's photos and drawings in a mirror frame. Decorate your child’s workplace with this decor. Now the room will become brighter and more interesting, and the child’s creative experiments will not be lost in a pile of garbage.

Option for advanced

If you are confident in your skills, have time resources and a large supply of disks, feel free to start creating animals in 3D technology. Use drywall and foam as a base. Such animals will be an excellent decoration for the garden and will scare away uninvited birds.

Glue the pincushion onto the disk

Needles and pins are very easy to lose. And they are sometimes found by accident, and not always in a safe way. Due to its small size, an ordinary pincushion can get lost. Increase its area by gluing a bright, noticeable detail. You can use a simple pompom as a pillow. Now everything sharp and dangerous will be in its place.

Build a clock of incredible size

Most inexpensive watches can operate without their original dial. Remove everything unnecessary, leaving only the mechanism, hands and batteries. And make the dial from a large number of old disks attached to a sheet of plywood or thick cardboard. The numbers can be painted with acrylic paint or glued on ready-made ones (use children's counting material). Add any decor, such as glass hemispheres from a craft store. This clock will become a highlight of your home.

Make a jewelry box

It doesn’t matter what exactly you consider to be your treasure - jewelry or a collection of homemade jewelry, the most precious thing needs a decent frame. Make a shiny box by gluing pieces of disks over an ordinary cardboard box.

Replace tiles with discs

Using the same principle that you can use to decorate a table or cabinet, you can cover an entire wall. An excellent option for the kitchen, bathroom or balcony. You will only have to spend money on tile adhesive and fugue. And you can ask all your friends for free CDs for the project.

Make decorations for the Christmas tree

Sleighs are prepared in the summer, and new Christmas tree decorations can be made at any time of the year. Cover foam and glass balls, or toys with peeling paint with disc fragments. Now the tree will shine without compromising your budget.

Decorate your clothes

Large necklaces and collars have been popular for several seasons now. Supplement the finished inexpensive product with fragments of CDs, and it will sparkle with new colors. You can do without a necklace and decorate the collar or cuffs with mirror pieces. In this case, cut the disk into smaller pieces.

Build a big lamp

The mirror surface of the disk perfectly reflects light. For this project, choose discs that don't have a lot of pattern and have a clear center section. This lamp will create beautiful shadows on the walls. An excellent option for decorating a room for a music lover or teenager.

Make curtain ties

Classic curtains can be secured using a disc decorated with textiles or satin ribbon. Decorate the tie with artificial flowers or interesting brooches. The curtains are easily secured using wooden hair sticks. Choose contrasting shades if you want to add color, or solid colors for an understated interior.

Build a candlestick from glass hemispheres

Glass half spheres from a craft store look great in any room. If you love these little beautiful things, but don't know how to use them in your creativity, you will love this idea. Use the disk as a base for a candlestick, gluing hemispheres to it in the shape of a well. When you place a candle in such a candle holder, the flame will reflect off different surfaces, creating a stunning decorative effect.

This is how the era of recording information on disks passed almost unnoticed. The size of hard drives now allows you to hold all the necessary information, fast Internet eliminates the need to write something on blanks, and flash drives are so cheap that rewritable disks have also become history. Perhaps you have old CDs and DVDs lying around somewhere, and we offer you several options for using them in everyday life. For example, you could attach a disc to your bike or mailbox as a reflector, hang a few discs in the garden to scare away birds, or make a great desk lamp.

Craft options for the New Year

As the long-awaited holiday approaches, children and adults strive to decorate their home with cozy handmade crafts. Computer disks can be found in any home; many interesting, beautiful New Year's decorations can be made from them.

New Year's toys

Old CDs.
Alcohol.
Cardboard.
Gouache is white, blue or any other light color.
Paper napkin with a New Year's pattern (Christmas tree, Santa Claus, snowflakes).
PVA glue.
Glue gun.
Ribbon made of organza or satin 2-4 centimeters wide.
A lace or thin ribbon 0.5 cm wide.

Alternatively, instead of napkins, you can print any New Year's pattern on plain paper, but I recommend napkins, they fit better on the work surface.

First, degrease the surface of the CD with alcohol or cologne. After drying, apply several layers of gouache until it stops showing through. We glue a cardboard circle into the central part, which should be slightly larger than the hole in the disk.

From a napkin we cut out a pattern, drawing, or a circle slightly smaller than a disk. Cover it with PVA glue and stick a napkin on it. To level the surface, apply a towel or soft cloth to the surface and smooth out the resulting wrinkles.

After drying, we open everything with varnish.

We repeat all the above steps with the surface on the reverse side.

We make a bow from ribbon. We twist the lace into a loop and glue it with a glue gun along with a bow to the top of the craft.

Transformation of an old ball

This is a quick and easy way to update old Christmas balls. For the craft you will need:

Old New Year's toys.
Glue gun.
Computer disks.
Scissors.

We cut the disks using scissors into small fragments, triangular and diamond-shaped. Glue the cut objects to the surface of the New Year's toy with a glue gun. The craft is ready.

To cut discs, you need to use only large, strong scissors; small ones can break and become dull quickly.

Candlestick

This is a simple, quick way to make a candlestick.

You will need:

CD.
5-6 fir cones.
Glue or glitter nail polish.
Aluminum candle stand.
Candle, up to 3-4 centimeters in diameter.
Rhinestones, decorative stones.
Rubber glue.

Before making the craft, you need to immediately prepare the cones, cover their upper branches with silver or shiny varnish, or sparkles that will imitate snow. If desired, you can also glue small pieces of cotton wool, New Year's rain.

We glue an aluminum candle tray into the center of the product with rubber glue. We attach varnish-dried fir cones to it in a circle using glue. We decorate the free surface of the craft with rhinestones, sparkles, and decorative stones. The candlestick is ready, you can safely put a candle in it.

Underwater world from CDs

Children love to be creative; they can make many simple crafts from CDs and decorate their children's room with them. They can make souvenirs on their own or with the help of their parents.

Goldfish

You will need:

Glue gun.
CDs.
Colored paper.
Gold leaf
Scissors.

We cut out eyes for future fish from colored paper: a slightly smaller black circle for the pupil, a larger white circle that will become the main part of the eye. We glue them together. Cut out lips of any shape from red paper. We will also work on the fins and tail; we will make them from gold foil of any shape.

Now you can begin the final stage. We begin to glue all the previously made parts. First, glue on the eyes and lips, fins on top and bottom, and glue the tail to the back.

The goldfish is ready, all that remains is to attach a lace or thread to it; if desired, you can cover its surface with nail polish with gold glitter.

sea turtle

You will need:

Plastic bottle.
A simple pencil.
CD.
Stained glass paints and outline.
Glue gun.
Rhinestones, flat stones.

In addition, for the job you will need comfortable small scissors.

Cut a piece of plastic from the bottle. On it we draw with a pencil the outline of the head of the future turtle, its legs and tail. Carefully cut out the selection.
Let's take a look at the disk - this is the future turtle shell. To begin, we outline the shell using a decorative outline in a circle. Then, we draw a contour of stained glass fragments along the entire circumference of the shell.
After the outline has dried, fill the selected fragments with stained glass paint. Apply paint in several layers. Try to use different colors, it’s much more beautiful and colorful.
Glue the shell, head, paws and tail of the turtle with a glue gun. We decorate the shell with rhinestones, small stones, and sparkles, securing them with glue. We glue two pebbles to the head as eyes. The turtle is ready.

Sea bottom

To make a craft you will need a minimum of time and materials:

Paints.
Seashells of different colors, sizes and shapes.
Colored beads (preferably transparent).
Old disk.
Rubber glue.
Transparent nail polish.

We paint the shells with paint, each in a different color. Leave them to dry and cover the surface with clear nail polish. Grind the remaining shells into fine crumbs. Glue the shells to the disk, sprinkle it with shell crumbs, imitating the surface of the seabed. Additionally, we decorate the product with transparent stones and beads.

Decorating with fragments

This material shimmers colorfully in the sun and has a bright shiny surface. This property can be used to decorate various items: boxes, photo frames, vases, flower pots.

Picture frame

To make crafts you need:

Rubber glue.
Old CDs.
Thick cardboard.
Scissors.
Gouache.
Ruler.
A simple pencil.

Before starting work, you need to measure the size of the desired photo for which the frame will be made. You can simply trace the photo on cardboard, and create the outline of the future frame around it.

From cardboard we cut out a frame for photographs of the desired size. We paint it with gouache (you can use different colors) on both sides. We apply paint in several layers so that the cardboard does not show through.
We cut the disks with scissors into fragments of different shapes and sizes. We glue them to the frame, after first attaching them to the surface and figuring out how they will look. If desired, use a thin brush to go over the cracks and crevices between the fragments, painting them with white gouache.
Leave the frame for 30 minutes until completely dry. Cut out a stand from cardboard and glue it to the back of the frame.

Flower pot sparkling in the sun

Turning an ordinary flower pot into a magical one is as easy as shelling pears. You will need old CDs, scissors, a glue gun and a little imagination.

First, we wash the pot; if there are any particles of earth left on it, wipe it dry. We cut the disks with scissors into small fragments of different shapes. Glue them to the pot with a glue gun. The craft is ready.
