Give your old Christmas Ornaments a facelift this year

Tired of your old Christmas ornaments? Give them a facelift using an old CD.

Most of us have converted those CD's over to our iPods and other electronic music devices. The CD just sits there collecting dust. Why not give it a new purpose with some holiday flair?

I found the idea above on DIY Crafts and Projects. It's an interesting blog with photo only instructions. This one looks simple enough... an ornament you're bored with, a CD that was just collecting dust, some glue and a pair of scissors. I think it would be interesting to try with a colored ornament.

If you decide to make some of these let me know and send a pick - I'll post it here for you and give you credit for your work.

Upcycle to Make a Ring

Zakka Life Crafts has very simple project instructions for upcycling the plastic tab from a milk or juice container into a ring. The project is so simple even a young child can easily do this.

The only thing I'd add to her instructions is the possibility of cutting the round circle into different shapes for more variety. An adult should do the cutting and the edges of cut portion should be sanded down so they are not sharp.
