If somewhere there is an impressive box of films and music on CDs that hardly anyone will ever listen to or watch, then there is no need to rush to get rid of it. On the contrary, old disks will serve you well, because you can use them to make a variety of DIY disk crafts.
You can use discs to make creative interior decorations. For example, a lamp.

- Assemble the lamp. To do this, insert staples into the holes and bend them inward with pliers. There is no need to tighten the brackets too tightly, as the discs should fit loosely on the brackets.
- After the first 5 disks are installed, insert the light bulb into the socket. Its power should not exceed 25 watts.
- Attach the remaining disks and hang the lamp in the desired location.

Art constantly requires new forms. Today, paintings in classic frames may seem too old-fashioned for modern interior solutions. Use pop art techniques, finding beauty in the familiar. Make a three-dimensional composition from CD boxes.
The emergence of new storage media has negated the benefits of CDs. Today, music can be listened to online or recorded on devices that take up much less space. Therefore, discs are often sent to scrap. Plastic boxes from them too. But you can use them by making wall decorations.
Take out the CD cover. Usually it is a piece of glossy paper or a small book. This sheet will be used as a sample.
Print an image that will fit the size of several covers stacked together.
Mark squares on the back of the picture to fit the size of the cover.
It is convenient to use a long ruler.
Cut the image into squares. Use a sharp cutter, or very sharp tailor's scissors with straight blades.
Place each piece in a CD case.
Attach Velcro or pieces of double-sided tape to the second part.
Using a large ruler, mark the section of the wall where the painting will be attached. Construct two perpendicular axes.
Start gluing the image elements.
Between rows, leave a distance equal to the space on the side of the disk.
You can use part of one of the boxes as a stencil.
Collect the entire image. Any photo will look more impressive in this design.

What can be made from disks? Crafts from CD (photo)
Surely every home has already accumulated a fair amount old CDs. All sorts of outdated programs, uninteresting films and simply unreadable discs (scratched, unformatted and out of order). But at the same time, they are so shiny, of a regular round shape, that it’s simply a pity to throw them away. So what is possible make from CDs?
Pavel Polyakov offers a simple option that everyone can do, regardless of age and financial situation. This is about cup stand from coffee beans. It will protect your furniture from thermal overheating and fill your home with the pleasant smell of coffee beans.
For this craft we will need a beautiful and clean CD or DVD disc, any glue for plastic or leather, about 50 grams of coffee beans and a little patience.
So, about all the steps in turn.
1. Take the disk and apply glue to it, about one third of the disk. This is no longer necessary, since the glue dries quickly, and we must tamp the grains into the glue very well. The glue must be applied in a fairly thick layer.
2. Wait about a minute and rub the glue on the surface of the disk.
3. Pour out the grains and quickly begin to glue them to the disk, leveling them and creating a composition of grains.
4. We repeat these procedures on the surface of the entire disk, I remind you that you should not rush - pour glue onto no more than a third of the disk, wait about a minute and press the grains firmly.
As a result, we get such a disc, quite beautiful and smelling nice.
And together with a cup of coffee it looks like this.
From operational problems, it became clear that the grains in the center of the disk must be placed very evenly, otherwise the cup will wobble and there is a risk of it turning over. So I immediately removed the beans from the center of the disk, under this particular cup. And the cup immediately acquired increased stability, and the product acquired a finished look!
This is such a beauty!
As an addition, along the edge of the disk you can lay out a edging of dried rose hips or beautiful shells. You just need to be smart.
Another video tutorial about similar stands, but decorated with plastic flowers:
There are many different solutions on the Internet that can be made from disks; as a rule, they are divided into two groups:
- The discs are simply decorated(pasted, sheathed, tied) sometimes to such an extent that it is not even clear why a CD is needed at the base, that is, it is the same ordinary element as a flat round part made of any other material.
In crafts it is done emphasis on the mirror surface of the disc, then the effect is more interesting.

What can you make from CD packaging?
In this video, the authors of the TV show will talk about what can be done from unnecessary CD packaging. Many computer users probably already have a lot of unnecessary junk at home, including disc boxes. Each of these boxes can be given a new function. It is proposed to use them to make containers for food and other things.
Using a hacksaw, you first need to cut off the protrusion at the bottom of the case. By the way, you don’t have to use a hacksaw for this, because very little work will be required. Therefore, you can simply use a hacksaw blade.
The hole created after removing the protrusion is perfect for attaching a convenient handle to the resulting food container. This container is ideal for doctor's sausage.
In this way, you can prepare several containers and combine them into one battery. There is an idea to be able to take the entire battery at once with one grip. We'll make a small hole at the bottom. After this, we take the second container, which already has a hole as a result of the alteration. We connect them with a screw, a washer and a nut and do not tighten it tightly.
Now let's see what happened. The bottom of the container made will be the lid of the next container. If you do the same with the next section, you will get a multi-story container for different products, fishing gear and more.
Photo frames from CD boxes
The simplest thing you can make from CD boxes is, of course, photo frames. They can be hung on the wall, or placed on a table or shelf. To prevent them from looking ordinary, you can decorate the contours of the “frames” by making an appliqué or painting them, for example, with stained glass paints.
You can make lamps from such boxes, again I would paint them for beauty.
For gardeners, the boxes can be useful for creating a kind of “greenhouse”.
It is also an excellent material for making various organizers, for sewing, for example, or for stationery items. You can sort and store recipes, notes, and so on using them.
Lamp made from CD packaging
You can make a cute night light or lamp from old and unnecessary plastic boxes from CDs and DVDs:

120 photo ideas and master classes from the pros!
Most people have a large amount of unwanted or unusable CDs accumulated in their home.
You can simply throw them away. But it’s better to use them to create various crafts and interesting things. In this article we will tell you what fakes you can make from disks with your own hands.
Roof covering
If you have a lot of CDs, they can be used as an original sparkling roofing covering. To do this, first the disks are attached to plywood sheets, and they, in turn, are attached to the roof. Approximately a hundred discs are needed for 1 m² of coverage.
They need to be attached as follows: 1st row - end-to-end, subsequent ones - in a checkerboard pattern, overlapping the disk holes of the 1st row. Small nails or screws can be used as fasteners.
Come up with a drawing, following which you will begin to make the roof. If you don’t have enough material, then you can only lay out the visor with it.
Fake discs for the garden
British artist B. Monroe, known all over the world for his light installations, decorated his garden area with stylized water lilies from CDs.
It took him 65 thousand CDs to create this work of art. You can take Monroe's idea as a basis and make these miniature lilies to decorate your own garden.
The discs can be used for the tail of a homemade peacock. They are attached to the metal frame of the tail using wire.
The disks can also make cute fish. To make one piece, you only need a couple of disks and multi-colored cardboard or a sheet of plastic.
The latter are used to make fins, tail and fish mouth. The cut out elements should be placed between the discs and carefully glued.
The disc caterpillar looks unusual and interesting. It will require several disks fastened together with screws. The legs can be made of rubber, plastic, plywood, and threads can be used for the mouth, eyes and hair. This craft is attached to the fence with wire.
Another option for using disks is the creation of street lighting fixtures.
Crafts from disks for children
Interesting ideas for children's crafts made from CDs will be useful for educators, primary school teachers, mothers and fathers.
The disk can be used to create a beautiful postcard in the shape of a fish. This craft can be done even by three-year-olds. They can easily cope with it under the supervision of their parents. In addition to the disk, you will need PVA glue, scissors, plasticine, markers and multi-colored cardboard.
Fins, a tail, and a mouth cut out of cardboard must be carefully glued onto a CD, onto which plasticine must then be applied using the indentation technique. The next step is to make the eyes.
For this we use cardboard. After you have attached the eyes to the fish, you can make eyelashes from plasticine. The tail and fins are used to write congratulations.
From damaged CDs, using glue, multi-colored cardboard and colored paper, you can make Smeshariki, the popular heroes of the cartoon of the same name.
For beauty, the contours of figures, eyes, and mouth can be outlined with a marker. Such decorations are easily attached to a wall or cabinet using glue or double-sided adhesive tape.
Interesting gizmos from CDs for the home
From discs you can create original curtains that do not require washing. The following materials are needed: disks, paper clips, drill.
Small holes are drilled into the edges of the disks with a drill, and paper clips are used to connect them to each other. The number of discs, size and shape of the curtain depend on your imagination.
Curtain holders in the bathroom made from unnecessary disks will look great.
The discs can also be used to create unusual and interesting kanzashi-shaped curtain ties. And you can secure them with Chinese chopsticks.
To make a pick-up, you need to cut a circle of smaller diameter from the disk. Wrap the resulting ring with satin or silk ribbons. You can use flowers made from ribbons as decoration; below are photos of crafts made from discs.
Disks can be used to make candlesticks, boxes, stands, needle cases and much more. Therefore, you should not rush to get rid of outdated CDs. With their help, you can sometimes create truly unique things.
