Has anyone got any idea's about what to do with the hundreds of unwanted cd's that come in the post. Is seems a shame just to dump them. I'm always waiting for Anna or Carol to come up with something, but so far zilch. Dee

Hi Dee!
I have used our freebie CD's as wall deco', they are stuck on with PVA glue, shiny side up, and snake out from behind the kids PC.
I still have a load left, so am going to cover the cupboard door in the study with them, it's opposite the window so it will reflect light beautifully>

hi dee,
i've seen them used to make a screen by threading them togeather with wire on tv. not exactly sure how to go about it though. we usually use the free ones as coffee coasters hehehe

Hi there Deeman. If you have a look in the Get Crafty thread, there are quite a few ideas posted in there about what different people have done with their unwanted/failed c.d's. I made clocks out of some and a mobile. Jill

Good Morning
Just remembered this shop in Camden Market called Cyber Dog. It's a funky/weird clothes shop, they have put cd's on the floor and sealed over them. It looks great but reminds me of 'girls must not wear patten leather shoes at school'
:D

Thank you all for your idea's. I'm going to try them. Where do you get the clock parts from jillmayor? I would really like to do some of those for my kids. Dee

Deeman. When I'm "on a mission", I just check out the cheapest places I can find. Living near to the seaside I scour all the nick nack shops and usually find what I find to make what I want. Last yer I found alarm clocks for 60p. I bought a dozen and my son took al the internal workings out for me. These were easily resused to make my cd clocks. I imagine that the clockwork bits and pieces would be available in model shops too. Happy hunting Jill x

Deeman, we give all of our unwanted discs to our friends father who threads them onto string and uses them on his allotment to scare the birds ........... Hani

I can remember that one of the houses at the ideal home exhibition had a whole bedroom wall covered in CD's, it looked fantastic.

I am afraid that I have hit the lowest I could not bear to chuck them out and just having moved to a house with a spider ridden outside loo. did the floor and walls with them ! we glass painted them as well. It is only temp measure I hasten to add!

I have seen a border in a kids bedroom created out of CDs.....Looked really cool it did

Thanks Steph and Decorating Teddy. I like the idea of a border and I don'g have quite enough yet to do the loo. Dee
