I have several projects in the elementary art room that make use of old cds. If you don't want to just give them to a local art teacher, I would think you could take the weaving idea and make coaster.

Hang as a wind ornament. When the sun catches the CD you get a rainbow of colors.

I put a string through the middle and hang on posts across my garden. The sun reflects off them and they turn in the wind and keep birds off your garden. It works --Best use for Windows 95 I've found !

Cut them up and make a mosaic out of them on a large rock, or planter or even an old coffee table or on a frame....etc....

I wish I could remember the site I saw the idea on, but somebody had covered an entire game room floor by epoxying cd's down and then clear coated it. The look was awesome!

On HOMETALK, a blogger used the inside of the CD to resurface a birdbath. Really beautiful . Check it out.

If you have fruit trees, you can hang them in it to keep birds away. They see the spinning flash and leave & won't eat the fruit!

If you heat a CD they become flexible, heat it up and then press it around the outside of a bowl, when it cools back done, you now have another bowl you can store stuff in, or a small planter, or you can just twist it into any fun shape you want

We took our grandchildren to a Children's Museum in Phoenix and they had about a 30 foot high walls and they had strung CD's on colorful string down one wall. Maybe 60 strings of CD's about 25 feet long. The room had a huge jungle gym with skylights and the CD's sparkled with the lights. Because they were only attached to the top they also moved gently. It was awesome!

If you look at a CD or DVD from the side they are clear and have a sort of rainbow quality. I always wanted to stack them up and put a light inside (maybe LED rope light) and see what type of lamp or floor lamp would look like. Wife made me recycle the box of them when we got together so it never happened.

I stripped off the shiny side with packing tape. Then downloaded designs from You Tube for Mandala's. With the CD's now stripped and clear I put the pattern under the CDs and outlines them in Magic Marker. I used silver/gold and colored glitter glue to cover the pattern outlines and then colored the rest of the cd's with Glass Paint. It was so easy and went so fast. I then drilled holes in the top and bottom of the Cd's and strung them on mono filament. I hung some outside using some homemade beads in between them.
