Grandchildren trashing "no longer listened to" CDs. Any ideas on what I could do with or what purpose they could be used for?

      @Regina Virginia Lozano That is exactly what I thought to reply! For example you can drill a few small holes in a hundred or more cds and wire them together as a shiny room divider. works for kids room or in a kid friendly family room.

    Break them into pices and do mosaic on a platter or tabletop

    I've seen a really nice bird bath made with broken pieces. Mosaic method like Belinda Todd mentioned. Try Pinterest.

    You can put them on a fence as car reflectors - that's what my Dad has. I thought it was clever. They are also a good sized circle to use as a template for crafts.

    You could make a mini album scrapbook with them.

    @Regina has the great suggestion of going on Pinterest. I've seen some one cut a slit in the CD all the way up to the hole. They then made very pretty CD labels to cover the whole CD and used them as dividers to organize clothing in the closet. You need to go see.

    I've made clocks........drilled holes on opposite sides and strung them together with "s" hooks to make valances and curtains in a classroom............make a mobile...attach your favorite picture and use as a picture frame...........add some felt and make a glitter fish......

    Give them to a resale shop, or to the library book sale.

    I have seen a beautiful wreath made from them. Overlap each as you go around a circle gluing them together. The iridescent look is great when the light hits them.

    If you have imagination, you can make them into a cool piece of art reflecting daylight off them brings a hew of colors. I'm not artistic but I bet if you have an artistic talent it would come out great!
