There are a TON of cute ideas at www.makingfriends.com
try http://www.makingfriends.com/readers_cds.htm for more ideas.
Sponge Painting : "Cut shapes out of sponges for sponge painting. Then set the sponge on top of the CD (shiny side) and trace the shape with permanent marker. Hot glue the sponge to the other side lining up with your outline. Cut a slit in the sponge through the center hole in the CD and hot glue a Popsicle stick in the slit. Now the kids can sponge paint without getting their fingers as messy!"
High-Tech Wreath : "Save them until you get quite a few. Form them into a circle overlapping them and hot glue them together! You can use either the silver sides or the colorful sides, or you can paint them any way you want! Add a bow at the bottom. If you want, add beads or old circuit pieces as the 'berries'! Makes a great gift for the computer person in your life!" --Stacey, TN
Mosaics: "Great for an old notebook that needs a new look. Break the CDs up into about 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces. Arrange the pieces on the cover in a mosaic tile pattern. Use hot glue or spray adhesive to put them in place. This could look great in any mosaic pattern -- on picture frames, hat boxes, etc." --Staci, Tulsa, OK

I found the CD Christmas Tree!

Christmas CD-ROM Tree
Let AOL help you celebrate Christmas in style with a CD-ROM tree sure to inspire your family and impress your neighbors. Instructions included.

A new solution to a pressing problem: what to do with all those worthless CDs from our friends at AOL, Microsoft et. al. We all regret the shift from Recyclable floppy disks to otherwise-useless CDROMs. Useless until now..

F*Y*I
Walmarts and Kmarts are a good source for FREE aol discs. Boxes of them at the check out - I asked if I could have more than one. The manager GAVE me THREE BOXES when I told him it was for a craft project with the kids. but I *would* ask before 'stocking' up, to be polite... LOL ! [/color]
