This is how the era of recording information on discs passed almost unnoticed. The size of the hard drives now allow you to hold all the necessary information, fast Internet eliminates the need to write something on the blanks, and flash drives are so cheap that rewritable discs also become history. Maybe you have some old CDs and DVDs lying around, and we offer you several options for using them in everyday life. For example, you can attach a drive as a reflector to your bike or mailbox, fix several discs in the garden to scare away birds, or make an excellent desk lamp.

Due to its shape, texture, weight and other indicators, disks are very convenient material for creating various kinds of creative handicrafts. And how do you use old disks, or only as a stand for a cup of coffee?
Today we will consider several options that can be made from CDs.
An old CD is a great base for creating original desktop or wall clocks. To complete the image, you will need a mechanism from the old clock, you can just as well create a dodge clock, which will serve exclusively as a decor element.
Create a box from the discs - easy. You will need: cardboard, 2 discs, glue, fabric for plating, thread, ribbons or beads for the decoration of the cover, a little imagination.
Tired of old wallpaper and no opportunity to glue new ones? You want to visually enlarge the room - glue the wall with the mirror side up. this way, something like a huge mirror will turn out, and the old faded walls will disappear from view giving way to hi-tech elements.
From the discs you can get a great curtain - a bright decorative element. Agree, not every home can be seen. In the care of such a curtain is also convenient - it does not need to be washed - just wipe the dust.
Tying two discs and lacing the zipper between them can get a small handbag or a convenient cosmetic bag. Try to decorate this craft with beads, artificial flowers or ribbon embroidery.
Before the New Year is not close yet, however, excellent Christmas-tree decorations and just home decor can be done like this: use the decoupage technique or paste the pattern you like on the disk. You can hang the disc on a golden ribbon, and on top of the picture decorate with sparkles, beads, sequins, rain. Devote this type of discs and Easter theme, birthday, March 8, other holidays.
Vases, jugs and large dishes can be updated by pasting small pieces of CDs, you get a full-fledged mosaic with a mirror effect.
There are many photos, but there is little frame - it doesn’t matter, attach photos to the mirror side of the disk - it’s done. Hang on the wall, or make the legs of the wire to put on the shelves. For the legs go and hairpins, crabs for hair.
If the old disks have a not very presentable appearance, use them not for decoration, but for creating homemade dumbbells, every man and woman will find this useful in everyday life.
Sculpting various compositions of candles, figurines, shells and other beautiful nonsense requires a basis where it will all be attached. Yes, precisely, and here the disc is indispensable.
I also wanted to suggest the use of disk fragments to create a more voluminous and original picture, for example, as in the picture above.
And of course, the use of discs as a stand for hot is already mentioned. You can crochet them for beauty.
So many wonderful and creative things can be created using old and unnecessary CDs. Send your ideas on this topic will be very happy.

In this master class, priority is given to the method of conducting. Today I want to elaborate on making handicrafts in more detail.
In each house, I think there are some unnecessary, already spoiled CDs that do not work. You can throw them away or use them in your work and make beautiful fridge magnets.
Disc preparation.
First you need to prepare a disk for the manufacture of crafts. Wipe it with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol, removing possible contamination. Cut a thick cardboard circle to fit the hole in the disc. Using transparent scotch tape and a cut out cardboard box, we close the hole in the disk.
This is how the disk looks from different sides:
We seal the transparent side of the disc with masking tape so as not to stain it during work.
We cut off the excess around the edges, leaving a small corner so that it is more convenient to remove the adhesive tape later.
Paint the disc with white acrylic paint.
We are waiting for the paint to dry. If shines through, you can primed again. After that, the disc is ready to go. Consider several options for crafts.
Option number 1 "Chef Hippo"
Required materials and tools:
* sd disk;
* acrylic paint (white, yellow, red);
* sponge for dyeing, flat brush No. 12 (bristles), sponge, scissors;
* napkin with a pattern;
* magnet, decorative hook with hippo;
* stained paints;
* acrylic lacquer;
* PVA glue, Moment-Crystal glue.
Select the pattern we need on a napkin and cut it out.
Do not forget to remove the extra layers. We leave only the top, with the image.
Glue it with white glue. First we apply glue to that part of the disk where the image will be.
Place the cut piece of napkin on top.
We coat with a flat brush moistened with glue over the pattern, smoothing folds and removing air bubbles. At the same time we try not to tear the napkin.
We wait for the image to dry. You can use a hairdryer for this purpose.
Getting to the background. Paint it with the help of a sponge around the picture with yellow blotting movements.
In the same way we apply a red paint border around the edge of the disc.
After drying:
We coat the craft with acrylic varnish (2-3 layers with intermediate drying) to protect the surface.
Then proceed to drawing the details of the picture with stained glass paints. Select the berries, orange slices, kiwi, leaves, an umbrella.
Result:
We remove the masking tape from the inside and glue a magnet to the “Moment” glue
We strengthen the decorative hook with hippo. The hook is attached to the adhesive tape, but if you want you can strengthen it with glue.
