These dream catchers made with upcycled unused CDs have been turning out so great!
This one was spoken for almost immediately… I put out a request on the local “Buy Nothing” facebook group in my area and several people gave me stacks of unused cd/dvd discs.
This looks really cool. Are the colors I’m seeing simply light reflecting off the CD?
Nice reuse!
Great idea!
I had a neighbor break them up and rearrange the pieces for a tabletop under resin that is stunning.
Looks great
Fantastic idea. We all have about a thousand of those sitting around!
Beautiful! I never would have thought about asking for unused cd/dvd disks. I have several of my own that I had planned to break up for mosaic, but haven’t done that yet.
Perfect upcycling of CD. Very cool.
Makes me wonder what else old CDs could be used for.
I think someone posted once about trying to laser them and I think the verdict was “don’t”… let me see if I can find that.
Edit: hmm not exactly but this one kind of covers it… they’re a bit too melty to laser much:
Correct. Too melty. The aluminum is not an issue, it’s the plastic they’re embedded in.
We use them as targets at several hundred yards. Very satisfying “explosion”.
Looks great! Is the backside the same design, or solid?
Same design!
Great idea and execution! Beautiful!
Appreciate that!! Thank you!
Same design both sides
@hidden_ridge_designs and @rmaker1952 these are beautiful!
What a great idea! I’ve got a stack of CDs I’ll never use, perhaps I could make some colorful anti-deer yard art. (2 CDs shiny-side-out, with acrylic frame should be weather-resistant, yes?)
thanks for the inspiration.
Thank You & so much fun making them.
Fantastic, where can i find a pattern?
