So I was clearing my attic and stumbled upon 20-30 Old CD/DVDs. I’ve sorted them into 2 categories:
- flat out refuse to work
- work but are terribly scratched.
Are there any usages for these? (I also have the cheap plastic cases these come in)
You must log in or register to comment.
- Mixing plates for epoxy
- Target practice
- Prop up a crooked lamp or piece of furniture
- Use packing tape to strip off the reflective layer and admire the transparent disc
- Corollary to above: cut out rectangular pieces as small windows for project enclosures
- Corollary: replacement “lens” for flashlight
- Crappy disposable frisbees
- Use as reflectors to take revenge on neighbors for light pollution
I used to cut them up to use them as kaleidescope mirrors. (The reflected colours make them almost better than normal mirrors)
Edit: I just remembered another one! tie multiple along a string and hang it up as a bird scarer. (Bonus if you make some other place for the birds to be happy (as repayment))
Coasters.
Hi, could you elaborate?
- Put a CD/DVD on a surface
- Put a drink on CD/dvd
- ???
- Profit
My bad, had a brain fart when I first saw “coasters” 😂. Searched it up, apparently a pretty common repurpose.
- Roll CD on edge
- Make terrible pun about it being a roller coaster
