Introduction: Turn Old CDs Into Photo Frame

You might have seen a lot of ways to recycle your old CDs which are lying useless around your house. One fancy way of reusing those worthless CDs are in wall and home decor.
In this article, I'll show you how to recycle some old CDs and transform them into some cool Photo Frames.
Let's get Crafting !!

Step 1: Materials Required

For this simple wall decor, you'll need the following in your inventory :
  • Old CDs
  • Crafting Paper
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue
That's all you need, so let's get started.

Step 2: CD on Paper

The first step is to glue the CD on a crafting paper of your choice.
Make sure that the shiny face of the CD is facing outwards after sticking it to the paper. Refer the images to understand how it's done.
Let it for dry.

Step 3: Cut Out the Extra Paper

Now after the glue is all dried up and the paper is stuck properly on the CD, it's time to snip off all those extra paper.
Take a pair of scissors and carefully cut out the extra paper which is not stuck to the CDs.
When you're done with this step, you should have a CD covered with colorful crafting paper on one side.
After this, the photo frame is almost ready.

Step 4: Add Pictures

What's a frame without any pictures? So now it's time to grab few of your favorite pictures and glue it on to the CDs.
I have used regular white glue for this job.
Now it's up to you to decide whether you stick the frame on to a wall using some double sided tape or hang it using a thread.
Get creative and you can make much more stuff using these CDs.
Keep Recycling !! Stay Tuned for More !!

How to make a high quality stamp out of your favorite logo or symbol. You will need the following materials: Speedball 6-Inch by 12-Inch Speedy-Carve Block Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1 which contains a straight bits & gouging bits 5 Minute Two-Part Epoxy Scrap wood for handle Polyurethane spray and finally an ink pad! Step 1: Select a favorite symbol or logo to use as a stamp Start by selecting a few black and white logos, symbols or other emblems that you would be interested in having a stamp of.

Step 2 in Paper lamps

Step 2: Experiment, experiment, experiment I cut out many circles of paper by hand and experimented to see what I could make them do. The larger paper had a floppy quality and I found that by mixing a bit of elmers glue with water, I could make the paper temporarily flimsy, influence the shape, and let it dry to form a rippled texture. Due to the weight of the paper, the dried vellum had flowing, smooth curves instead of lighter weight paper that will just wrinkle. For the water/glue mix, try your own ratios. I found mostly water and a bit of glue mixed together to a milky solution was perfect (probably a 6 or 8:1 ratio water:glue) and then I just reached my hand in and spread it over the paper, gently coating the surface in a thin layer of liquid. As I was experimenting, I ran out of room on my desk and started stacking up the small circles of paper and realized I really liked the stack. This became the main concept for the lamp.
