Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas

I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
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-
