Valerie on Jul 08, 2016Before you spend too much time on the project, just bear in mind that CDs quickly deteriorate outdoors. Perhaps the use of paint and varnish will help. Hate to rain on your parade, as they are so beautiful when they are first put outdoors.Helpful Reply

Beverly Beamon on Jul 08, 2016I would go with the Krylon paint for Plastic, and I also agree with Valerie. Over time in really hot temps, the CD's may warp, but that is OK it will give your fence a different look .Helpful Reply

Flossie on Jul 08, 2016Go to "Guidecentral" on youtube, loads of great ideas to be found for fancifying your old CD's. There is a great one using twine which you would need to seal with a poly or outdoor Modge Podge.Good luck and enjoyHelpful Reply
