I have a bunch of old cd roms just lying around. I would love to make some crafts out of them, any ideas?

Question

any websites that might suggest anything?

Answer 1

1) Recycle CD-ROMs into High-Tech Wall Decorations
In a child's room, use them as wall decorations! Just use a tack in the center hole or use double stick tape to attach them to the wall. You can cover an entire wall or put them in a scattered formation for shiny, rainbow throwing decorations.

2) Recycle CD-ROMs into Coasters
Use a piece of tape to cover the center hole. For a coaster holder when they aren't in use, you can store them in half of a CD-ROM jewel case.

3) Recycle CD-ROMs into Reflectors
Use as reflectors on your rural mailbox or as driveway markers.

4) Recycle CD-ROMs into Game Pieces
Make a large checker board with the spots the size of the CD-ROMs (eight squares by eight squares). Mark 12 CD-ROMs with a red "X" using a red marker and 12 CD-ROMs with a black "X" with a black marker. Kids will love to play a "high-tech" game of floor checkers.

5) Recycle CD-ROMs into Paper Plate Weights
On outdoor picnics, solve the problem of paper plates blowing away! Place three drops of glue on the outside edge of a CD-ROM and put it on the bottom of a paper plate. This will also help to stiffen the paper plate. When you throw the paper plate out, just pull the CD-ROM off the bottom.

6) Recycle CD-ROMs into Carpet Protectors
Use them under your couch and chair legs to help protect your carpet from getting the dreaded furniture indent.

7) Recycle CD-ROMs into Christmas Tree Decorations
Have a high-tech Christmas tree next year. Glue on a string for a hanger, then glue lace and beads on the CD-ROM. Kids will have fun decorating them and they sparkle with the tree lights.

8) Recycle CD-ROMs into Garden Row Markers
On the CD-ROM write the name of your vegetable with a permanent marker. Glue or tack the CD-ROM to a stick and put in the ground to mark your garden rows. They may also act as a high-tech scare crow.

9) Recycle CD-ROMs into Some Crafts
Our Guide to Crafts for Kids has many ideas to make easy crafts from CD-ROMs and jewel cases. Includes CD-ROM fish, angel and more! Family Crafts

10) Make A Room or Doorway Screen
String the CDs into a single strands with yarn then attach the long strings to the top of a doorway to make a high-tech 60's door screen.

Answer 2

Well you could try making them into storage boxes to store valuables. The cd rom would open and open and close and well look like a cd rom.
Hope this works
