5 - cut them up and use them in your craft projects, card making etc
6- decorate the silver side, stick them back to back and use them as a mobile in a childs bedroom. ( did this for my son and he loved it as the sun reflected the light around his room)

Re: Unwanted CD's.
If you leave them hung up outside, they lose their coating and become clear. Then you can use them for glass painting projects.
Use them as paint pallettes.

9. Some are good enough to be used as a mirror so long as you don't need a very crisp image. They're OK nailed to the shed wall at the allotment just to make sure you don't have mud smeared across your face when you walk home

10. Use as a base for mosaic tiles to make a tea pot stand?
11. Glue a few together to make a custom size door wedge?
These really are a bit lame

Re: Unwanted CD's.
I know a lady who made a drop spindle using one of those smaller CD's as the disc part. I've also seen a craft project where tiny bits of cut up CD's were used to decorate something, a headband I think, but I don't remember where I saw that. It was possibly on Cut Out and Keep.

Cds are ideal to clean you spade of sticky clay as you dig your plot.
The old gardeners called such a gismo a 'man' as one used to clean you spade regularly (every spit) meant you'd do the work of two men who didn't clean their tools.
My hubby refers to my stash of freebie cds as 'AOL spade cleaners'

Re: Unwanted CD's.
I don't suppose this is a 'use' as such, but my sister has one of those cast-iron shepherd's crook type lantern-holders in her garden, and for ages now (possibly a few years) she's been popping old CDs onto it. In theory it's to keep them all in one place until she finds use for them as bird scarers, but the thing looks like a huge silver snake arising out of the ground - very arty, like my sis!
We all have two gifts we should try to use as much as possible - imagination and humour.
Imagination compensates us for what we are not.
A sense of humour consoles us for what we are.
And wisdom tells us not to worry about it!

Re: Unwanted CD's.
Suspend them through your garden to mangify artifical light at night is quite pretty.
