A simple homemade mini-faceplate from standard hardware and options for its use. Useful things from old disks Faceplate from a CD
The article gives several ideas on how to make many useful things from CDs: a box, a candlestick, a photo frame or a roof covering.
Many people have accumulated old CDs that become obsolete or become unusable. Of course, you can throw them away, but it’s better to store them and at some point use them for a global project, for example, to cover a roof. And from a small quantity you can make interesting crafts.
Original disc roof covering
If you have accumulated a lot of such material, then you can make a roof covering from old disks. It will look literally brilliant, and will also not let moisture into the room due to correct location elements.
First, the discs need to be attached to a wooden base, for example, to plywood, and then to the roof. For laying one square meter you will need 120 pieces. They need to be fixed using this technology.
Place the discs end to end in the first row so that there are no gaps. In the second one, place it in a checkerboard pattern relative to this one so as to cover the holes of the first one. The third row will also be located relative to the second in a checkerboard pattern, with the holes overlapping. This is how a scaly roof is made from old discs.
Those who have accumulated a lot of unnecessary vinyl records, can also implement similar technology, but using them.
However, let's return to the idea of what can be made from old disks. When laying them, make small holes. Secure parts using small nails or screws.
Come up with a pattern, following which you will lay such an improvised tile roof. You can place the discs either matte or glossy side up.
If you don’t have enough disks or records, then you can put them not on the roof of the house, but on the canopy.
See how English artist Bruce Monroe came up with the idea of using old disks. According to him, he wanted to enhance the natural beauty of the garden in this way. It took him 65,000 discs to make water lilies.
You're unlikely to have that much on hand, so you can make small water lilies or home decor items.
DIY rigid curtains made from discs
You won't need to wash them, just brush off the dust occasionally. Such curtains will decorate the room and add positive notes to it.
The manufacturing process is extremely simple. For it you will need:
- CD disks;
- paper clips;
- drill.
Such curtains can be easily fixed to the cornice; to do this, you need to use a sharp stationery knife to go through the markings of the larger inner circle, and then squeeze it out with your fingers to enlarge the hole. You can also use a drill for this purpose. Bathroom curtain holders are made using the same technique from old disks.
You can also make curtain ties using the same material.
Place a round object on the disk smaller size. While holding it, trace it with a knife, then cut along the markings with scissors.
The resulting ring is decorated with a satin ribbon, which just needs to be wrapped around it.
You can decorate curtain tiebacks with satin flowers made using the kanzashi technique, and attach rings to curtains using sushi sticks. They can be painted or also rewound with satin ribbon, gluing it.
Beautiful crafts from CDs
Even from very old disks you can make New Year's toy, using fragments untouched by time. Cut from of this material pieces, which then glue to the Christmas ball like a mosaic. Wipe off excess glue with a cloth.
Using the same technique, you can decorate the collar of a blouse. For this purpose, discs are also cut into fragments. Then they need to be glued to the fabric.
To make a photo frame with your own hands, prepare:
- thick cardboard;
- PVA glue;
- CD disks;
- scissors;
- black paint in a tube with a fine tip.
Use scissors to cut the disks into individual elements. Apply PVA to the photo frame - it small area, attach the resulting pieces here.
Let your artwork dry, then fill in the gaps between the pieces with tube paint. When it dries, then you can use the frame for its intended purpose.
And from just one disk you can make a candlestick. For it you will need:
- glass balls;
- 1 disk;
- super glue or another one designed for working with these materials;
- candle.
Cover the outer contour of the circle with balls. Glue the second row on top of these, arranging its elements in a checkerboard pattern. This way create 4 chains. All that remains is to attach the candle using hot wax and you can plunge into the romantic atmosphere.
Homemade jewelry box
It is made of the same material. Here's what it took to create this necessary thing:
- 3 disks;
- textile;
- padding polyester;
- needle with thread;
- scissors.
Divide both circles into 16 equal sectors. To make your task easier, first divide in half, then into 4 parts, then into 8 and 16.
Transfer the pattern to the fabric or immediately draw on it. You need to make 2 such blanks from canvas. Now sew along the markings, making 16 stitches from the outer to the inner edge. Place padding polyester in the resulting pockets. Sew up the top of the disc box.
If you want to make handles, then weave a braid from three strips of fabric.
To make a lid for a box with your own hands, fold two pieces of fabric in a pile, place on a disk, outline with chalk, cut out with a seam allowance of 7 mm on all sides. Cover the disc on top and bottom with these fabrics. If you want the lid to be soft, then cut out two circles of padding polyester and cover the disk first with them and then with fabrics. Sew along the edges with a blind stitch.
Here's how to make a box.
How to make an owl from old CDs?
Try making this funny owl from this material. It will become a room decoration or an original gift.
To get started you will need this:
- several disks (10–12 pcs.);
- a simple pencil;
- scissors with soft finger rings to avoid rubbing calluses;
- scotch;
- foil;
- strong glue;
- yellow and black cardboard;
- ball pen.
Cut out 2 circles from yellow cardboard; they should be larger in size than the holes in the disks. Cut out 2 smaller black circles from thick black paper and glue these bird pupils onto the yellow ones as shown in the photo.
From the dark areas of the disk, cut out the beak, 2 eyebrows and 2 paws of the owl.
Do not throw away the remaining pieces. You need to draw leaves on them and also cut them out. These elements will be useful for decoration.
Glue an eye to the center of each disc. Glue these two disks together and attach the beak to them. Take another light disk and cut fringe on it only on one side and the opposite side. This is the head of an owl. Glue the blank eyes and beak onto it, based on the photo hint.
To make the owl further, take 5 light disks.
To save energy, do not completely decorate their edges with fringe; do it only where necessary. The photograph shows this moment.
Start gluing them together as follows.
Cut out two wings from a dark disk, decorate them with fringe and glue them, eyebrows, and paws of the bird into place.
Place the pencil on the foil and wrap it in this shiny sheet.
Glue pre-cut leaves from disks to the perch. You have such a wonderful owl that will certainly bring good luck to your home.
Coasters for cups made from CDs
These kitchen utensils will prevent the tablecloth from getting dirty with drops of tea and will decorate the table. They are made extremely simply.
Take:
- disks;
- textile;
- ballpoint pen;
- padding polyester;
- needle and thread.
Now place the padding polyester on the wrong side of the fabric and sew the two layers together using a basting stitch. Place the padding polyester on the SD, tighten the thread, tie two knots. Place another circle of padding polyester and fabric on top of the disk, sew the blanks together as shown in the photo. You can put a loop on the side to hang your DIY cup stand from.
Interesting country ideas from old CDs
You can read how to make such a peacock from a tire in the corresponding article, and its tail is made from the material that this review is devoted to. For it, you will need to cut a metal mesh in the shape of a large fan, attach disks to it with wire in rows or lay out a pattern for the tail from them.
Here are other summer cottage ideas. To create one of these brilliant fish, you will only need two CDs, as well as colored cardboard. If these figures will not hang under a canopy, then it is better to use rubber or other synthetic sheets instead. From these you will cut out the fin, tail and mouth of the fish.
Place these parts between two disks and glue them together. Don’t forget to first put a fishing line or thin cord inside to hang the craft.
It’s also not difficult to create a funny caterpillar by first painting 5 disks, attaching legs to four, and gluing eyes, mouth, nose and hair from threads to the fifth. You can easily attach the caterpillar itself to a chain-link mesh or to a picket fence using wire.
You can also make a windmill or street lamps from disks for your dacha.
Choose your favorite idea and bring it to life. If you want to see how to make these and other things from old disks, we suggest watching the videos:
Remember the days when our shelves were filled with CDs with music, movies, programs and backups of the most important files from the computer? If you still haven't thrown out stacks of these CDs, as well as unnecessary or used DVD discs, the following list of ideas will definitely come in handy!
From unique Christmas ornaments to glamorous bowls and mirrors, this list will show you best ways reusing piles of your old disks.
IMPORTANT: remember that if you try to break the disks with your hands, they will spray fragments in all directions (this has been tested personally). If you cut with scissors as is, you will be able to separate the discs into pieces, but the shiny coating may crack or peel off pieces. To get perfectly even pieces, we recommend: a jigsaw; repeated reuse of the cutter until it penetrates deeply into the layers of the disc, and then carefully breaks off along the cut line; slight heating of the disk (under hot water or at the lowest temperature in the oven) before cutting with scissors. You will probably find many more methods on the Internet - just try them one by one and choose yours.
CAREFULLY: When covering any thing with pieces of discs, remember that they are very easy to cut off. Therefore, you should not, for example, attach pieces to a decorative bowl for jewelry or to a guitar without then putting a good layer of one or another transparent coating on top, which will save you from the problem described.
1. Real master artists put together magnificent small sculptures from pieces of disks. The base can be, for example, air-drying plastic or a similar material that does not need to be exposed to high temperatures to harden. And the fragments from the disks themselves are already attached to the base by pressing and at the same time placing them on the glue.
2. “Tiles” cut from disks can be used to lay out a bird bath for summer cottage. And again, do not forget about the covering so that the birds do not injure their paws. The result is an amazing vintage mosaic, especially if the bath itself is copper or blackened metal.
3. A guitar in the hippie style can be made just as well from broken pieces with additional decorative elements. Here, light exposure to fire was applied to some of the pieces (not for long and at a distance - experiment), as well as a special dyeing technique.
This decoration technique looks no worse on an electric guitar:
4. The mirror frame is lined with fragments of CDs, like shell fragments.
And its “cousin” is the photo frame:
5. Using solid disks, artists Alice Morin and Clemens Elyar created a huge installation called “Wastelandscape” - “waves of music”, which, at the suggestion of the authors, became the embodiment of an oil slick. Inside the Centquatre gallery, Paris as part of the green movement.
On topic: George Raidbo puts entire sculptures out of disks...
...or how do you like this sea of discs from Bruce Munro?

Christmas tree on the street…
...her colleague...
...or a lizard laid out on the asphalt on a single base and then suspended from the house by cables and ropes.
Installation-ball for a school/institute library…
...or pavilion-arch.
6. If you lay out at least a simple pattern from pieces of CDs, as here, and not just stick them randomly, you will get an original and very nice jewelry box.
7. And this is how you can decorate the most ordinary disks with pieces flower pot. Black sealant or mastic is placed between the glued “shards”.
8. A coffee table tiled with mosaics looks great. In this case, it is better to place the mosaic under solid impact-resistant glass.
And one more table, which, thanks to its small size and white mastic between the CD pieces, despite its brightness, looks more delicate and appropriate in an apartment with a calm decor.
9. Christmas decorations from transparent balls and pieces of CD...
...from whole disks and fabric, beads and wire...
...toys and a candlestick in combination with various accessories.
New Year themed triptych on the wall:
11. Disc holders for the bathroom curtain.
12. The transparent part of the kitchen door or the door to the living room is lined with pieces of discs.
13. Thick scrapbooking paper was glued onto the discs, resulting in brightly colored cup holders. You won't be able to make hot pads out of discs, because they will start to melt even under the knitted layer.
There is a chance with a hot one if only similar option:
Or like this: coffee beans are glued onto a disk, resulting in a fragrant stand-plate.
14. Creative idea- glue disc fragments onto leather, suede or nubuck shoes. The main thing is to take a good waterproof glue, put the first layer on the shoes and let it dry, and then glue the pieces on top. And the second key moment- do not glue pieces where the leather folds or stretches when you put on and wear shoes. Also, do not glue the pieces onto thin straps, as there is a high chance of scratching your feet later.
Continued in the second part of the article “How to creatively use unnecessary CDs: more than 80 ideas. Part 2.”: the creative component of the following ideas increases with each step geometric progression!

For some time I had fun with simple turning on centers. Over time, the need arose to process more diverse workpieces. I had to use my brains to make the appropriate equipment using improvised means, without access to a third-party lathe (for metal). One of the designs turned out to be very inexpensive, convenient and in demand.
The fastening equipment was often made up of two parts - a universal small metal faceplate and a specialized wooden part. The metal faceplate can also be used as usual - by fastening it to the workpiece with self-tapping screws.
What was used.
Tools.
The wood lathe itself, cutters for it, a set of metalworking tools. You can’t do without a cutting machine (grinder); it’s better to use a small one - it’s more convenient and safer. Headphones as for shooting and safety glasses or a shield. Also, you can’t get away without welding work, respectively - a small inverter and accessories. Electrodes 2.5mm. Hot melt adhesive is often used. What is needed is a drilling machine that is more convenient and accurate, of course.
Materials.
Actually, just the right number of nuts and washers. It’s better, of course, to paint the finished piece of hardware, then plus paint and paint. A little wood for “narrow specialization”; I often use dry birch firewood with even layers.
So. spindle of mine lathe ends with an M16 thread, which allows the use of standard hardware. In this case it is an “extension nut”. It is cut in half right on the machine, turned on, rotating. Angle grinder. Cutting should be done carefully. First, with the machine turned off and with the grinder not working, carefully try it on so that it is comfortable, your elbows are positioned somewhere and so as not to fit into anything rotating.
The machine turns on and, having taken a previously tested position, with the grinder turned on, we strike the felt-tip pen mark in the middle of the rotating nut. Be especially careful at first until the edges are sawn, then the sawing becomes smoother and the pressure can be increased a little.
After some time of our efforts, the wall of the nut is sawed through and the half falls off. The height of each half, taking into account the width of the cut, turns out to be slightly larger than its standard non-extension sister. The length of the thread on the spindle of my machine does not allow the use of a regular nut - it sticks out from under the finished faceplate and causes a lot of inconvenience later during work.
The next step will be welding. From the standard range of hardware, I take a “reinforced washer”, in some stores it is called a “body washer”, of a suitable diameter. Usually, this is almost the largest of those available in the offered assortment. You need to check if the nut is falling into it. The nut should be positioned with its edges in the center of the washer hole. The cut nut will stand better - there will be no chamfer on one side, this should be taken into account when trying on a new one in the store.
We weld the cut half to the washer. Neat. It’s very good to first tighten them with a clamp, but usually it works out well this way. The ribs are welded in the following order - any, then the opposite. The workpiece is rotated 90 degrees, again either of the two, then the opposite. This way there is less chance that the nut will slip off the washer. Actually, in the first copies, I tried using the same grinder to create a “groove” on the rotating half of the nut for a sure fit in the hole, but an angle grinder is not the tool that can do this job well - often, due to the not very smooth edge of the “groove” , the nut turned out to be very misaligned with the washer.
After the workpiece has cooled, as usual, we break the glass crust of slag and place the workpiece on the machine spindle, while rotating we evaluate the runout, if they are within reasonable limits, we correct it with the angle grinder turned on.
It is possible, for aesthetics, on the reverse side. Here, scribbling with a pencil in in the right place rotating workpiece, mark the diameter along which the holes will be drilled. To use the future faceplate with relatively large objects, you can drill more of them, up to six, if for small things - three, four.
Afterwards, it would be good to paint it while there is no rust - a layer of zinc, partially burnt, partially worn off. Below, I sprayed “ocher” from a spray can, in two layers, although I’m usually lazy.
In the photo, the finished faceplate is mounted on a sanding disc made of thick plywood. Medium-sized sandpaper on a rag base is glued to the disc under pressure with PVA glue. Through a layer of newspaper so that the licked paper can then be torn off.
For sharpening tools, adjusting small pieces of wood before gluing.
A similar thing, but smaller in diameter and glued together from birch blocks in two overlapping layers. For sharpening turning tools. At the end there is the same sanding paper; a leather belt will be glued along the diameter of the circle for finishing with GOI paste.
And finally, the use of our faceplate for current work. Just like a regular one, our small one is convenient to use where you need to fasten a workpiece by one edge, without a rear center. In this case, it is very convenient to glue the workpiece to the intermediate block. A piece of board is attached with short self-tapping screws and ground to a convenient diameter, and the workpiece is glued to it. Hot melt adhesive.
In the photo there is such a “cartridge”, with the trim remaining from the workpiece. Before gluing the next one, the faceplate is placed in the machine, and it is “butted” with a cutting tool, cutting off the remnants of the glued one. At the same time, it is worth capturing part of the old adhesive layer so that it (the glue) does not accumulate too much.
The workpiece is marked, and, among other things, using a compass, a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the “block” on the faceplate is drawn. This allows you to orient it quite accurately when gluing.
I lubricate both surfaces to be glued with hot glue, not necessarily completely, a circle around the perimeter is enough, stepping back a centimeter from the edge.
Initially, until complete “dumbing”, it is better to press the workpiece with the rear center, then, when there are no shock loads, it is removed.
The beauty of such an installation is through the block, in a much more economical use of workpiece material; moreover, when turning, you do not need to constantly remember how long the screws are, so as not to climb into their depth with a cutter.
And for dessert, there are several available options for more specialized equipment based on the manufactured faceplate.
For example, this one required something machined very precisely around an existing center - as easy as shelling pears.
Or, for example, a part of a candlestick made of 6mm plywood or a thin birch plate. To clamp and process it, the following equipment was made.
The time of CDs has almost passed, many people still have a large number of them - music, films, cartoons, outdated computer programs- with images of characters from fairy tales and films, flowers, graphic pictures.
They sparkle and shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow on one side, and on the other beautiful drawings. You don’t feel like throwing them away - and there’s no need to, you can use them to make a lot of original, beautiful and useful things for your home.
In addition, it is very easy to work with them - they already have the correct circle shape, which in some crafts will only need to be slightly changed in order to give the future product or decoration the desired look. At the same time, they are easily cut with ordinary office scissors and glued to a surface made of almost any material.
It happens that some home interior items have lost their appearance, it is not possible to replace them with new ones, or it is simply a pity to throw away an old favorite thing that has served faithfully for many years. Discs will help give things new life.
For example, you can decorate an old mirror with them, making an original frame from pieces of different shapes and sizes that sparkles and shimmers in the rays of sunlight from a window or in the light of an electric lamp with all the colors of the rainbow.
You can make a beautiful frame for a photo, decorate the edges of the cabinet drawers with a mosaic of pieces of disks.
Frame for mirror or photo
You will need a lot of disks, scissors, paints, glue, thick cardboard, colorless transparent varnish.
First you need to cut out a frame from cardboard in the shape and size of a mirror or photo. Then cut the disks into pieces of different shapes - squares, irregular quadrangles, rhombuses, triangles.
Take glue and stick the figures onto the frame so that there is a distance of one or two millimeters between them. As a result, the frame will have a mosaic of iridescent geometric shapes.
When the glue has dried and the figures cut out from the disk have stuck well, use black ink or paint to carefully and carefully go over the joints of the figures. After this, the frame is coated with transparent varnish, allowed to dry and mounted on a wall with a mirror or photograph.
Mirror frames made from discs look mysterious and original.
If in an apartment interior doors with glass, the glass can also be laid out with a mosaic of discs. In this case, there is no need to paint the joints between the pieces, but simply cover everything with transparent varnish, then there will be a feeling of light and space.

Decorating walls with disks
On the wall in the room or in the kitchen, you can lay out an interesting composition from disks with beautiful pictures selected by theme. Or you can use them to create your own painting.
To do this, you need to take the disks and paint their shiny side with black ink; when the ink is dry, mark the lines of the future image along it, and then go over them with something sharp - a thick needle, a special scraper or a sharp knife with a thin blade and a sharp tip.
Iridescent lines on a black background will look very beautiful - you can draw anything you like: unusual birds, flowers, an abstract design. And hang the discs on the wall in any order.
Kitchen decoration with discs
In the kitchen, discs can make an unusual “apron” in the work desk area. It will look extremely original, and the discs will not be inferior in performance properties tiles– they are also easy to clean from splashes of fat and juice from vegetables and fruits.

Whether for a room or a kitchen, you can make a mosaic panel from disks by gluing pieces of the desired shape and color onto cardboard, and then covering the composition with transparent varnish.
Household items made from discs
The discs will make an excellent hot plate. In this case, the disk will play the role of the base; you need to put a nice cover made of fabric on it, and the stand is ready.
It would be original to update the tabletop of a coffee table with cut pieces of disks. To do this, cut them, fix them on the tabletop using a plasticizer in any order or by making a pattern out of the pieces, and then fill the tabletop with a thin layer of transparent varnish, making it even.
The coating will be durable. The tabletop will sparkle and shimmer beautifully.
You can make a holder for women's earrings from two disks and a thick tree branch.
The core of the stand is made from a smoothly processed branch, ground to the diameter of the hole in the center of the disks, one disk will be the base, the second shelf, make holes in it and insert the earrings into them.
How to decorate a suburban area with discs
There is room for creativity and imagination. For example, from old car tires and rims, you can make a flower bed by decorating the outer surface of the tires with a mosaic of shiny pieces.
Or you can cut a peacock out of a rubber tire, and make a tail from whole round disks - to do this, you need to glue them in pairs with their shiny sides facing out, and then make them into a large triangle-tail, gluing the pairs of glued blanks overlapping.
On a country fence made of disks you can depict a huge iridescent caterpillar. You can paint the disks to look like a ladybug - red paint, make spots with black and draw a head, and plant them on fruit bushes and trees.

Due to the fact that the discs shimmer in the rays of light with all the colors of the rainbow, they will make beautiful snowflakes for the New Year holiday - they are easily cut with scissors, you can cut out the most intricate pattern. You can hang snowflakes on the Christmas tree and on the walls.
You can cut the disks into small pieces, thickly cover an ordinary ball with them and hang it from the ceiling on a thread - it will rotate and sparkle, reflecting the lights of New Year's garlands.
The application can be very different. You can use discs to make an interior curtain similar to a bamboo curtain - assemble the discs on long threads. They can make an ultra-modern necklace, a refrigerator magnet, a vase, a candlestick, a stand for ballpoint pens and pencils, a box, you can even decorate a summer bag with them.
Unneeded CDs are an excellent material for creativity, a way to spend leisure time - making certain things from them, and an opportunity to decorate a house or cottage in an original and unusual way without spending a lot of money.
