Almost every house has a stack of old drives. Do not rush to throw them away. This is good material for creating a variety of crafts. What can be done from old disks? There are many original ideas. You will find some of them in this article.
Home decor elements
To create beauty and comfort in your home, you can use crafts from laser discs. All kinds of panels, coasters, watches and even furniture. All these things can be done independently, taking disks that are unusable as a basis.
Making such a souvenir will take only an hour of time, and the result will please you for more than one year.
For the manufacture of panels you will need:
- one disk;
- cereals from cereal plants (buckwheat, millet, semolina);
- glue "Dragon";
- marker;
- wooden skewer.
On the disk, draw a marker with the marker you want. Gluing cereals should start from the center of the product. Apply glue to a small area of the disc and cover with grits on top. Using a wooden skewer, adjust the borders of the ornament. Then, in the same way, glue another type of cereal, focusing on the drawn pattern. Pour material “generously” so that the entire surface of the disc is covered. When the work is finished, the product must be left to dry completely. After that, take the panel in your hands, turn it over the table and shake it slightly in order to crumble the excess groats. If desired, you can draw an ornament with gouache or acrylic paints. Coat the entire product with varnish and allow to dry.
Bijouterie
When thinking about what can be made from old discs, consider an option such as making women's jewelry. Earrings made of this material look very unusual and interesting. For work you will need:
- one disk;
- color adhesive tape;
- soldering iron with nozzles for decorative work;
- accessories for earrings;
- cardboard puzzle;
- marker;
- needle.
Tape the surface of the disc with colored tape. Put a puzzle from a children's game on top and circle with a marker. With a heated soldering iron with a sharp nozzle, burn out the painted part along the contour. Run the second blank in the same way. At the top of each puzzle, use a red-hot needle to melt the hole. Through it, fix the accessories for earrings. If you want a silver jewelry, then you don’t need to tape over the disk with tape.
From the same puzzle pieces you can make a whole set of jewelry: necklace, ring, brooch.
