Thanks for checking out my Instructables!
Here is a cheap way to build a mini disco ball and recycle those annoying AOL CD's at the same time! Watch my (Kipkay) video and see it all come together!
Step 1: What You Need...
1. A bunch of useless internet CD's, like the AOL CD's you get in the mail.
2. A Small styrofoam ball
3. A glue gun and scissors
4. Fishing line or thread
5. A wooden skewer or coat hanger
Step 2: Say Bye Bye to the CD's...
Cut 'em up into small random square shapes...
Step 3: You Should Cut Up a Whole Lot...
Careful...these can be sharp...
Step 4: Putting It All Together...
Start hot glueing the pieces to the styrofoam ball. Work your way around until it is completely covered. Then using the skewer or coat hanger, run a hole through the middle, run some thread through the hole and either tie a big knot in the end or hot glue a button on the end. Hang it up and fire up your disco records! Have fun!

No offense, but this is a sure sign that today's generation does not know about the past (what a shame!)...Do you know what an 8-track is, or what 45's and LP's are, or where the term "dialed" a number came from? If the answer to these questions is no, ask your parents or somebody older than you. That should clear up a lot of things.

Nice idea. Sure it's tedious and time consuming, but you don't need extravagant utensils. I'm gonna give it a try.
