Most people have a large amount of unwanted or unusable CDs accumulated in their home.

You can simply throw them away. But it’s better to use them to create various crafts and interesting things. In this article we will tell you what fakes you can make from disks with your own hands.

Roof covering

If you have accumulated a lot of CDs, they can be used as an original sparkling roofing covering. To do this, first the disks are attached to plywood sheets, and they, in turn, are attached to the roof. Approximately a hundred discs are needed for 1 m² of coverage.

They need to be attached as follows: 1st row - end-to-end, subsequent ones - in a checkerboard pattern, overlapping the disk holes of the 1st row. Small nails or screws can be used as fasteners.

Come up with a drawing, following which you will begin to make the roof. If you don’t have enough material, then you can only lay out the visor with it.

Fake discs for the garden

British artist B. Monroe, known all over the world for his light installations, decorated his garden area with stylized water lilies from CDs.

It took him 65 thousand CDs to create this work of art. You can take Monroe's idea as a basis and make these miniature lilies to decorate your own garden.

The discs can be used for the tail of a homemade peacock. They are attached to the metal frame of the tail using wire.

The disks can also make cute fish. To make one piece, you only need a couple of disks and multi-colored cardboard or a sheet of plastic.

The latter are used to make fins, tail and fish mouth. The cut out elements should be placed between the discs and carefully glued.
