Whatimade.com New Life for Old CDs – Crafting a Green World This is a guest post by Becky Haas, who is an amateur crafter/environmentalist who also tries to make a living as a professional musician. You can also find her at the craft blog Sew and So. I have a confession to make…I’m addicted to music. I guess it comes naturally, since that’s what I spend a lot of my time doing. So I always love it when I stumble across a craft project that uses music-related materials, like Kelly Rand’s recent article on things to do with old cassette tapes. By this point, I don’t have too many old tapes lying around, but what I do have is a lot of CDs–most of which I still listen to. My first thought was jewelry, and it turns out that it’s pretty easy to transform an old CD into that. The first step is to cut the CD into the desired shape. Next, you’ll want to file the edges down, especially the corners, so they don’t scratch you up when you wear them. The variations on this are endless. There’s some great pre-crafted CD jewelry out there as well.
