From the Colorful to the Creative: Ingenious Upcycled CD Crafts

Remember when, in order to hear your favorite band’s new album, you had to get dressed, go out to the store and buy it?! How about when you didn’t catch that popular movie at the cinema, so you had to wait for it to come out on DVD?! Oh, the good old days! The times have changed a lot, but most of us are still holding on to a large number of CDs and DVDs because it seems unfair to just throw them away. Well, you don’t have to! You can repurpose them and turn them into amazing crafts that will add up to your home!
