Crafts from CD-ROM. What to do from CDs

Time passes, and once popular for playing music and songs, CDs are no longer in vogue. Many of us keep them, because to get rid of such "relics" the hand does not rise. There is a more interesting option - what if you make crafts from CD-ROMs? Not enough wit, where to attach them? Then this article is for you. We offer several variants of interesting crafts from disks.

Dreamcatcher

The excellent use of spoiled or already unnecessary CDs is making of them an unusual attribute for the house. For special "mods" who follow the latest innovations, we can offer to make crafts from CD-ROMs in the form of a catcher of dreams. If anyone does not know what it is, this is an unusual souvenir, the purpose of which is to call good dreams and frighten off bad ones. So, what we need to do is make a CD from our own hands:

• Disk, it is desirable that it is not printed on the reverse side;
• Acrylic white or any other color;
• Alcohol or acetone;
• Cotton wool;
• feathers;
• Fishing line or rope;
• beads.

Stages of manufacture:

• We spread the awl and with the help of it we make four holes in the disk at a distance of about a centimeter from the edge. If you hang a plate, then one hole should be at the top, the second - at the bottom, opposite the first, and the other two - on the sides of the second (2-3 cm).
• If there are inscriptions on the disc, then we delete them, using cotton and alcohol for this.
• Draw on the plate any snowflake or ornament you like. You can simply decorate with beads and beads.
• Cut off three pieces of fishing line to 20-25 centimeters and string them with beads. At one end, attach the pen (if available).
• The remaining end should be attached to the disk through the holes on it. So with every piece of fishing line.
• Through the upper hole, attach the rope (you can also thread beads on it), for which hang the ready catcher dreams over the bed.

Such crafts from CD-disks will look great in your bedroom.

Owl

To make this unusual animal we will need:

• 10 disks;
• Wood stick, which must be wrapped with food foil;
• scissors;
• Glue "Moment" or glue gun.

How are such children's crafts made of CD-ROMs:

• We take 4 discs and cut their edges with scissors, thereby making fringe;
• We cut out a beak from one of the plates, make eyebrows (also make a fringe), feathers (scissors scratch the veins) and ears;
• From the first four disks we take 2 and make of them the head of an owl, gluing them together with glue;
• Then make her eyes - paste the yellow paper in the right place and draw with a pencil pupils;
• From the two remaining discs with a fringe and two without it, we glue the torso to the bird, to which we attach the head;
• From the remaining three disks we make the base of the owl, gluing them together so that a triangle is formed, and only after that it is possible to collect the bird together;
• To a stick wrapped in foil, to glue the leaves, and to them - the trunk of an owl.

That's all - she's ready. But keep in mind, such crafts from CD-disks can require much more plates, as during manufacture, many of them crack and become unusable.

Watch

There are a lot of options for doing such a thing in the house. You can make clocks from disks by connecting several CD's. The result is a beautiful dial, which in the sun shines with all the colors of the rainbow. And if you drill additional holes on the plates, you can change its shape as long as you want. Such crafts from CDs (photo below) can be used even as a gift.

Making a simple watch is easy. To do this, take from the alarm clock mechanism with arrows and connect it to our plate, which already had the numbers already pasted. You can decorate them at will (beads, flowers, etc.). Such crafts from CDs can be hung in the living room or in the children's room.

Christmas Wreaths

Those who are accustomed to celebrate this great holiday on "all the rules", you can advise to do such a craft. All that is needed in order to make very beautiful Christmas wreaths is a couple of dozen discs, glue and various ornaments.

Connect the plates in a circular manner, as is done in the photo. At the top of the wreath, glue everything that comes to hand - flowers, small and large beads, bows, snowflakes and so on.

Fish

As unusual postcards or pendants on the wall, you can make beautiful children's crafts from CDs in the form of various animals. The easiest and easiest is the fish. We will do it.

We need:

• disk;
• Dense colored paper (cardboard);
• glue;
• beads;
• Markers;
• scissors.

From the cardboard we cut the fins, the tail and the mouth of the fish. On the disc, we paste beads and various beads in any order (in the form of waves, flowers, hearts, etc.). We glue the cut fins, mouth and tail. If desired, in the disk you can make a hole and hang our fish.

Flower pot

What can I do from CD-drives yet? You can try to decorate with their help flower pots. To make this craft, we will need:

• disk;
• a flower pot;
• glue;
• Acrylic paint.

First we need to break the plate into pieces. Their magnitude can be different - from the smallest to the largest. Then we paste these pieces on the pot in a chaotic order, leaving a gap of about 1-1.5 mm between them. After the glue has dried, we fill the voids with acrylic paint. Once it is dry, the pot is ready for use.

Various trivia

Crafts from CDs can be made in the form of a variety of knickknacks. For example, very beautiful from such shiny plates look Christmas toys. From the disks are cut various figures, stars, animals. If desired, they can be decorated. And you can leave in the form in which they are - so it's also very beautiful.

A very original gift will serve as a postcard from CD. To make it, you need to take a sheet of paper, fold it in half and cut out the necessary shape (square, diamond, heart) from it. The edges can be left straight or bent. In the middle of the postcard (from the outside), attach the disc. From the cardboard cut out the figurines in the idea of notes and paste them on the disc. In its center we attach pre-prepared plates of cardboard, painted in various colors. Now it remains to paint the card itself with acrylic paints, write congratulations and give.
