Now that you've downloaded all your music, what the heck can you do with those CDs?  Check out my five ways to reuse CDs.  I promise it will be music to your ears.
  1. Make wind chimes.   Don’t think your favorite artist’s CD is played out.  Stringing up several compact discs in a chime pattern will have your old artist playing a new tune.

  2. Create some coasters.   Keep stains and stickiness off your tables with CD coasters.  They look cool and fit underneath any size cup.

  3. Design a fun photo frame.   Cut and paste pictures to CDs and place them on walls or even Christmas trees. 

  4. Build a barrier.   String up several columns of CDs from your ceiling to create a colorful room dividing curtain.  To make the most out of your collection, tie the CDs together vertically and horizontally.  This will help create a more organized look.

  5. Mix it up.   Rewrite CDs you no longer use.  You can create your own mix CDs on discs you already own.  If you’re sure you’ll never listen to that CD again, go ahead and re-tune it.
