Creative people have long invented a huge number of options for beautiful crafts from disks for children and adults, you just have to reproduce their ideas, and maybe come up with your own.
Throwing such wonderful and interesting material is a huge mistake. Using compact discs, you can make unique interior items, original and stylish gifts are close, decorations for the cottage and garden: everything your heart desires and enough for your imagination and perseverance.
Check out some ideas for the unusual use of old computer disks and create new wonderful things with your own hands!
CD lamp
If you urgently need a new original lighting device, old discs will come to the rescue. This craft can be used both in the home interior and in the country.
You will not need any special materials for this work: the main condition will be to apply a little imagination and patience.
Be sure to follow our detailed step-by-step instructions:
You will need 12 unnecessary disks, a protractor, metal staples or paper clips, a lamp holder and a thin drill.
First, we divide one of the disks into five identical segments. Use a protractor for these purposes: the angle between the segments should be approximately 72 degrees. This disc will serve as a stencil for the rest.
On the line of segments, about 3-4 millimeters from the edge, drill five small holes. The next step: we put the rest of the disks in a stack and, using the first disc (placing it on the very top of the stack), make exactly the same holes in the rest.
In order for the craft to be strong and hold well, support rods will be required. For this, rods from ballpoint pens are ideal: in the holes just made, insert the rods necessary for the role of the guides.
If you used a really thin, correct drill, you do not even need to fix the holes: they are perfect.
The lamp is almost ready, now we attach the remaining disks to the structure with brackets.
Now there is only work with light left: the last step is to screw the lamp into the cartridge.
Flower
If you took apart old boxes in the country and found a lot of unnecessary disks, there is a great way to apply them to the benefit of the beauty of your site. Crafts from discs for the garden look very original and interesting, in addition, making them is incredibly simple.
In this mini-lesson, I propose to make small flowers from disks to decorate a garden, kitchen garden or yard in the country.
Note!
The tools for this craft do not require anything unusual: the right number of discs (it all depends on how many flowers you are going to make), a candle, scissors and paints to make the flowers more vivid.
The manufacturing process does not require special skills, it is very fast, but it will captivate you from the first second.
All you need to do is gently melt the discs over the candle (remember the safety precautions: it is best to do this indoors and with some water nearby to put out the fire in case of danger) so that the plastic goes in beautiful waves, similar to flower petals.
I offer step-by-step instructions for making a beautiful rose from disks:
- First you need to evenly cut the disk along the entire length of the radius and heat one edge of the cut above the candle.
- When the plastic heats up and becomes soft, take the pliers and use them to wrap the edge a little to the side.
- Slowly turn the disc over the flame and continue to bend molten fragments.
- In the end, you should get a small spiral, which will become the rose bud.
- You can paint it in any color, attach a stalk of wire, cut leaves from other leaves and form a whole flower bed! It all depends on your imagination.
So, today you learned how to make some simple crafts from old discs. I hope that this lesson turned out to be useful for you and you learned a lot from it.
