Great idea about the clocks here, could you make me one. I'm trying to find gifts for family, wonder if a picture of John Wayne could be put on one? Thank you.

RE: Crafts Made With CDs
Yrs ago I made some Christmas decorations using CD's and small ornaments. I had a snowman figurine, Santa Claus, and a few others. I added some cotton balls to the CD in a few places to make it look like snow and the open CD parts looks like ice. Then add the figurine to the center, and once dry, looked like santa was standing in the snow with ice showing through. Very cute.

I made hanging mobiles they glitter in the sun my grandchildren love chasing the reflections.To do it drill holes opposite each other on the edges, I used the tool that came with the ink cartridge refill kit. Then put a fishing swivel with a clip on it an tie fishing line between. I make mine 4 disks long and hang them where they catch a breeze and the sun.

CD Flower
For the Daisy Girl Scouts I used a cd to make a flower. Take a large button and put cotton crochet thread through it to make a hanging loop. Put the loop through the center hole of the cd with the button on the shiny side. Glue a white cardboard circle on the printed side with the hanging loop sandwhiched between the cardboard and the cd. Using various colored pieces of art foam cut out a circle and petals. Glue to the cardboard. With the Daisy GS I printed words from the Girl Scout Law and as they earned their petal they glued it onto the flower cd.

I have a program on my computer that prints a cd cover. I have used it to make clocks. Just buy the clock parts at the craft store, print out whatever design you want on the computer (I used photos of my grandchildren. There will be a hole in the middle of it so place the faces correctly). Then attach the clock parts and you have a unique clock. Could use many other ways to design your clock -- painting, markers, decoupage, etc! Fun and cute!

My son used them as a border around the top of his walls in his bedroom. Used bluetac to put them up on the wall. Very nice in a teen's room.
I have also used them at school with my students. We draw geometrical or abstract designs on them with fine black marker (waterproof) and white out pen. Kids love them.

My neighbor strung them with fishing line and used them on his outside Christams tree. The sun picked up the silver shine and they were very pretty. Another neighbor used them in his cherry trees to scare birds away. Another neighbor tied them to his grape vines for the same reason.
