We all have scratched, worn, damaged CDs and we don't know what to do to recycle them. I tested three very simple tricks which cost nothing and give a second life to your old CDs. The bonus:it will also keep your children busy!
It's a shame to put in the trash CDs that are no longer used but just have a scratch or a defect. But for the moment nothing is planned to recover them like batteries or other printer cartridges! So here are some ideas that are easy to implement.
Some fishing line and scissors :I cut pieces of yarn of different lengths and let my children's imagination run wild to hang the CDs and make a shimmering mobile in the sun.
If you have a garden, hang it in a fruit tree, it will act as a scarecrow to scare away greedy sparrows. Otherwise, do like me, hang it from the ceiling and let the drafts play with it and the reflections hypnotize you during your nap...
I put the CDs on the living room or dining room table to put the glasses and bottles , so as not to leave permanent marks on the wood. You can also ask the children to personalize them for a dinner by writing the name of each guest on it with the special CD pen, or by making a drawing and varying the colours. Here are cheap and original coasters.
You find that your chandelier does not diffuse enough light in the room:glue a halo of used CDs to the ceiling around your lamp, over a radius of about 30 cm. The light from the bulb will be reflected in it and suddenly amplify the lighting in the room, as if you had doubled the power of your bulb.
And you, do you know of other possible uses for your old CDs? I am very curious to know them, quickly, your comments on this subject.
