20 New Uses Tuesday- Broken CD's

Wait! Huh? 20!?

Yes, I have 20 new uses for you this week because I didn't have a 10 new uses post last week.

No real good excuse for why not, it was just not a good day and it all got away from me- Sorry!

But I am making up for it this week!!

My dad goes through a lot of cd's and many times they just don't work. These he saves and then I get the challenge of turning them into something else!

Here is what I have come up with!

1. Banner




2. Mini Photo Album

3. Clock (decorate it and get one of those clock kits, the hole is already there for you)

Make sure you click "Read More" to check out the rest of the ideas!!!


4. Fish


5. Space ship (with Slurpee lid)

6. Picture Holder

7. Playing card holder

8. Coasters; just line the bottom with felt and there you go! If they are old broken music cd's then you could glue the felt on the other side and have the band/artist showing and have a great conversation starter.


9. Ornament



11. The 'stove' part of a homemade play kitchen

12. Wreath

13. Modern Quilt Wall Hanging

14.  Caterpillar

15. Spinning Top

16. CD Collage Cubes


17. Mini Pedestal or cake stand (on top of upside down terra cotta pot)

18. Kalidascope ( turn it at the end of a triangle of mirrors)

19. Disco typ ball/ decoration/ ornament

20. Garden Snails! These are cute and function to deter unwanted pests! Super cute, we will totally be making these this week! Check them out at Sun Hats and Wellie Boots!

This post about 20 uses for used CDs is GREAT. Way to go on recycling and useing whats available. Also it so hits home for me becasue FYI - hanging cds from your balcony keeps the pigeons away. I live in Turkey and we recently discovered this helpful tidbit. So there you go 21 uses. ;)http://bloggingthemoments.blogspot.com
