Time passes, and once popular for playing music and songs, CDs are now out of fashion. Many of us keep them, because to get rid of such a "relic" the hand does not rise. There is an interesting option - but what if you make crafts from sd-disks? Not smart enough, where to attach them? Then this article is for you. We offer several options for interesting crafts from the disks.
dream Catcher
An excellent application for damaged or unnecessary CDs is to make them an unusual attribute for the home. For special "mods" who follow the latest innovations, we can offer to make crafts from cd disks in the form of a dream catcher. If anyone does not know what it is, this is an unusual souvenir whose purpose is to invoke good dreams and scare away bad ones. So, what do we need in order to make such a thing out of cd disks with our own hands:
- a disk, it is desirable that it be without printing on the reverse side;
- acrylic white or any other color;
- alcohol or acetone;
- cotton wool;
- feathers;
- fishing line or rope;
- beads.
Manufacturing steps:
- We heat up the awl and use it to make four holes in the disk at a distance of about a centimeter from the edge. If you hang the plate, then one hole should be at the very top, the second - at the very bottom, opposite the first, and the other two - on the sides of the second (2-3 cm).
- If there are inscriptions on the disk, then we remove them using cotton wool and alcohol.
- We draw on the plate any snowflake or ornament we like. You can simply decorate with beads and beads.
- We cut three parts of the fishing line of 20-25 centimeters and string beads on them. Attach a feather to one end (if available).
- The remaining end should be tied to the disk through the holes on it. So with every piece of fishing line.
- Attach a rope through the top hole (you can also string beads on it), by which you hang a finished dream catcher over the bed.
Such crafts from CDs will look great in your bedroom.
Owl
To make this unusual little animal we need:
- 10 disks;
- a wooden stick, which must be wrapped with food foil;
- scissors;
- glue "Moment" or glue gun.
How to make such children's crafts from sd-disks:
- we take 4 discs and cut their edges with scissors, thereby making a fringe;
- from one more plate we cut out a beak, eyebrows (also make a fringe), feathers (scratch the veins with scissors) and ears;
- we take 2 of the first four disks and make an owl’s head out of them, gluing them with glue;
- then we make her eyes - we paste the yellow paper in the right place and draw the pupils with a pencil;
- of the two remaining discs with a fringe and two without it, we glue the body to the bird, to which we attach the head;
- from the remaining three disks we make the base of the owl, gluing them together so that a triangle is obtained, and only after that we can collect the bird together;
- to stick a stick wrapped in foil, stick the leaves, and to them - the body of an owl.
That's all - she's ready. But keep in mind, such crafts from sd-disks may require significantly more plates, since during manufacture many of them crack and become unusable.
Watch
There are many options for performing such a necessary thing in the house. You can make a clock from a disc by connecting multiple CDs. The result is a beautiful dial that shimmers in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow. And if you drill additional holes on the plates, then its shape can be changed as much as you wish. Such crafts from CD discs (see photo below) can even be used as a gift.
Making simple watches is very simple. To do this, you need to take the clockwork with arrows from the alarm clock and connect it to our plate, on which the numbers have already been pasted. You can decorate them as you wish (beads, flowers, etc.). Such crafts from CDs can be hung both in the living room and in the children's room.
Christmas wreaths
Those who are accustomed to celebrate this great holiday according to “all the rules” can be advised to do this craft. All that is needed to make very beautiful Christmas wreaths is a couple of dozens of disks, glue and various decorations.
Connect the plates in a circular fashion as shown in the photo. Glue on top of the wreath everything that comes to hand - flowers, small and large beads, bows, snowflakes and more.
Fish
As unusual postcards or pendants on the wall, you can make beautiful children's crafts from cd disks in the form of various animals. The simplest and easiest is the fish. We will do it.
We will need:
- disk;
- thick colored paper (cardboard);
- glue;
- beads;
- felt-tip pens;
- scissors.
From the cardboard we cut the fins, tail and mouth of the fish. We paste beads and various beads on the disk in any order (in the form of a wave, flowers, hearts, etc.). Glue the cut fins, mouth and tail. If you wish, you can make a hole in the disk and hang our fish.
Flower pot
What to do from sd disks still? You can try decorating with their help flower pots. To make this craft, we need:
- disk;
- flower pot;
- glue;
- acrylic paint.
First, we need to break the plate into pieces. Their size can be different - from the smallest to the largest. Then glue these pieces on the pot in a chaotic manner, leaving between them a gap of about 1-1.5 mm. After the glue dries, fill the voids with acrylic paint. Once it dries, the pot is ready to use.
Various little things
Crafts from CDs can be made in the form of a variety of trinkets. For example, Christmas toys look very beautiful from such shiny plates. Various figures, stars, animals are cut from the disks. At will they can be decorated. And you can leave it in the form in which they are - it is also very beautiful.
A very original gift will be a postcard from a CD. To make it, you need to take a sheet of paper, fold it in half and cut out the necessary shape from it (square, rhombus, heart). The edges can be left straight or trimmed with bends. In the middle of the card (on the outside), attach the disk. From the cardboard cut out the figures in the idea of notes and stick them to the disk. We attach pre-prepared cardboard plates painted in various colors to its center. Now it remains to paint the card itself with acrylic paints, write a congratulation and present.
