Introduction: CDornaments
It's a CD snowflake! Make a Xmas ornament from a recycled CDrom!
It's cool, and at least part of those CDs don't end up in the landfill.... All you need is unwanted CDs and a paper shredder....
Step 1: You'll Need....
--A paper shredder
--a stack of old, unwanted CDroms...
Your paper shredder cannot be the 'cross-cutting' type that shreds twice--only the standard (cheaper) shred-into-strips will work...
Step 2: Do It!
It's simple:
Just feed the CDroms into the shredder. Use the on/off/reverse switch as the magic button that controls the process!
NOTE:
It's also simple to shred your fingers in a paper shredder. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
Step 3: There It Goes....
If your shredder is like mine, the CD won't make it all the way through on one pass.
Back it out (reverse switch), change the angle and shred again....
Step 4: Rejects
Not all CDroms shred with equal results. Some are more brittle than others.
But even the rejects look pretty cool....
Step 5: That's It!
That'll do it!
You can add a final step: spraying the ornament with lacquer or 'workable fixative,' so all that tinselly stuff doesn't fall off...
