Tips & Warnings
Recycle CDs that Internet access companies send you in the mail.
Teachers and nonprofit organizations can ask U.S. Postal Service carrier stations for the undeliverable CDs and other craft items that are normally thrown away. Address a letter to the U.S. Postal Service station manager and make arrangements to pick these items up regularly.

If you're a painter, you can paint beautiful designs, florals and landscape scenes on them. Just paint the CD Kiltz, let dry, basecoat, paint your design, seal. It's a fun project!

Just take the CD and put it down. No need for felt or cork!

You know how you get all those AOL disks in the mail? Well, put 'em to good use! And, an added bonus, take the CD and use it as a Frisbee for your dog.

I like to cut 2 circles of felt just slightly bigger than the CDs. Put one on each side of the CD and do a blanket stitch around the edge to hold them together and keep the CD inside. This makes a nice looking coaster. The felt soaks up moisture, and the CD actually helps hot drinks stay hot.

Glue the CDs to felt cloth. Once the glue is dry, cut the felt to fit around the CD using an X-Acto knife. And an old CD rack makes a hip coaster holder!
