Here is a link to the blog Mar de Sonhos, a blog that is in English and Portuguese that features this interesting recycled cd mandala. I can tell you how cool it is that crafts don’t have a language barrier!

Discover Your Unique Style with Second Chances by Macy Eleni
If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.
Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.
What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.
Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.

wow perfect cd’s mandala … wow .. great idea
Very clever 🙂
What fun! I’d been saving my CDs as scarecrows for the garden but this would be great for the children to do…it could be Garden Art and kill two birds with one stone, sorry CD ha! ha!
What a great idea. I love this mandala, it looks great and I never would have clicked that it was CD’s unless I had read it!
Do you have directions of how you did this? how are they held together, especially the middle one? Are those center designs made of rolled up magazines? Thanks!
I think your recycled CD mandala is amazing. I would like to include it in a book I am writing about mandalas, which will be published July 2012 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. I am an art therapist at The University Medical Center at Princeton, Princeton, NJ. Would you consider giving me permission to include the photo and a description (you would provide) of how to create it? You would, of course, be referenced.
Thank you-
