If you like to recycle, there are a few crafts you can make from recycled CDs, DVDs and also it's cases too. For example, you can turn a CD or DVD into a Christmas ornament with a little glitter glue, puff paint and a piece of ribbon.
You can also make coasters from a few old CDs/DVDs, white cotton lace and glue or you can turn an empty CD case into a picture frame.
You can also turn a CD/DVD into a fish. To make this you will need to first draw a fish template on a piece of paper, color it and cut out the eyes, fins, tail and face and glue it on the CD/DVD.
