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”.

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.

Fantastic, where can i find a pattern?
If someone wishes to share their design, they usually post it in the free laser designs section (for personal use only) or, if they have an online presence, they will post the link to their shop in their profile. Even though you didn’t ask them for the design directly, just a gentle reminder that it’s against forum rules to do so.
