CD light

A cd light. It works by taking light . Different elements make different colors.this is very good toy for playing.

Step 1 First

A CD that can be sacrificed to this project.I won't damage it, but getting it back will involve destroying our cd light.

A cardboard box. An 10 inch cube works fine, but any size that can hold a CD disk will do.

Two single edged blades. These can be found in hardware stores.

A small cardboard tube, the kind used as a core to wrap paper on.

Some tape.

Some aluminum tape (found in hardware stores), or some aluminum glue.

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

This is interesting, but you might consider re-naming some of your steps with more engaging titles than, "sixth" or "ninth". Essentially, you've made a box prism here....it has potential!

OK this is interesting but I have no idea what it actually does. Does it cast a light somewhere? Does it make a room shine somehow? Does it take daylight and put it somewhere dark? No seriously, I'm not trying to be mean, I really want to know what it actually is!

Simple and fun! If there is a problem getting the positions correct for the best color view, check http://www.instructables.com/id/CD-Spectrograph-in-a-Box-Spectroscope/ which is similar and gives attention to that. The aluminum tape is an excellent sugestion.
