CD / DVD Coasters

I have also used it as a cat toy. My cat is just freaked seeing the fly across the room. She likes to jump up at them. Other than that I have no other uses.

I DO use them as coasters. I also joke that the blue ones are for every day use, and the gold and platinum ones are for guests.

I have about 10 on my coffee table right now. They are a great conversation piece, and they best thing is that if they get stained, wet , or chipped, you can just throw them away and get a new one.

Get a small quantity of Blu tak (I don't know what the American equivalent is) and stick the CD or DVD upright in the middle of the turntable inside a microwave. It's best if you can disconnect the light, by the way. Nuke on full power for 5 seconds. You will see a filigree of blue sparks that Spielberg would envy!

Don't leave it on too long - it smells a bit.

I string them on a wire, covering the label
side with mirror tape. I doesn't bother the
squirrels or the blue jays but the crows now
avoid the entire corner of houses. Hung
vertically so they can spin, it'll catch
your eye. I used to throw those AOL freebies
away when they came in the mail and keep the
tin or box, now I can protect my tomatoes.

My 80 year old parents are quite good at making coasters from discs!

Ma prints out pictures from the net, and Pa cuts them out and sticks them to CD.

Yes, they do have more to their lives than this! This is a twice a year project to make coasters to be sold at the Church fetes.

Most popular ones tend to be the ones with pictures attached that they took on the previous years' cruise....

And yes, they're both IT Literate (Pa is good at researching all the ships he's ever worked on!) and Ma can successfully corrupt any Bible Clip Art program she gets her hands on.......

Nuff said!
