Everyone loves microwaving CD's and watching the nifty light show that ensues. Here's another excuse to do it.

I know this is kind of a dumb and easy instructable, but it's kind of fun, and it was a cheap way for me to decorate my apartment.

A pillar candle
An old CD
A microwave

I've found that you can get really cheap candles at dollar stores and grocery outlets.

Strange as this may sound, I've never seen what a microwaved CD looks like before this instructible. :)

I was gonna make a similar Instructable with just a regular CD candle holder. Since you beat me to it, I'll just put it here: 1. Put CD on table. 2. Put candle on CD.
