♥♥READ/DISPLAY♥♥ Let's start to do some recycling by creating these beautiful colors mosaics out of our old cd's and give a special touch to our decorations.
Hi there. This is a fantastic tutorial. A great use for all your old CD's and an expensive way to make mosaics tiles without having to go out and buy mosaic tiles, tile nippers etc. Thanks for sharing, I''m going to try it out post haste. Elaine.
This is absolutely Amazing - coloured mosaic - out of cds. With the oven heat it does smoothes the sharp corners n avoids one getting hurt or fingers pricked when handling them Totally enjoyed this video n will definitely put it to.use. Thanks so.much for sharing. Have subscribed n . looking forward to many more tips .
Thank You🌹for responding so quickly (most don't) Your very kind😊. Also something you probably already know - if you use your heat gun & warm the CD it's a little easier to cut with the scissors. HAGD!
Can't wait to try this. Building a tiny house on wheels and want to up cycle as much as possible. I can see my future back splash made from from old CDs and DVDs. Bonus is I make it myself and save money !
I love this idea of using old CD's and painting & melting them in the oven. I would suggest painting an entire CD one color, and cutting it into squares when it dries. Would that work? Of course you might need the wet paint to "glue" the top coat of clear CD square onto it, but if you strong enough scissors or a knife to cut a double layer of CD's, "the CD sandwich" with paint in between, that would make it even easier. Would that work?
I think is a little more hard what you suggested, I mean you'll need a really strong scissors or cutter and you might hurt your hand by doing 😞, also you have to paint it and put on the oven I didn't tried to paint, dry and then oven. Either way it can work the same just I think is little harder. Take care. 😘
I think your idea is better...Paint the CD, and then cut. I'm also thinking that you could spray paint the CD as well.There Is HEAT paint by Krylon, not sure they have very many colors...but it's out there at Home Depot.Then once it's dried...Cut them. There are good scissors out there, better than the one she used.Juliana
I dont like because the cd are not really cheap and it needs a lot of work and time.....when you can simply use mosaic cards from shop they're about 1/ 2 $
Hi there! I love your idea so much I am actually cutting CDs at this very moment :) can you please tell me the difference in putting wet or dry paint in for baking the CDs? Also how long should I wait for them to be ready to use on crafts like stepping stones and pottery. Thanks for all your wonderful help so far.
what about the melting plastic fumes from the oven? And did you remove the pieces from the foil while they were still melting hot, or did you let them cool down first?
Be sure to use an old Toaster Oven that is no longer used for food...just crafts. Keep. window open or do it outside (in a DRY area to avoid electric shock). Have fun!
Plastic fumes are very toxic. When you heat plastic the vapors can make you very sick, cause lung disease or cause cancer anywhere in your body. Toxic fumes can also cause brain damage.
Thank you for the video, I've got some ideas to mosaic (this is a whole lot cheaper then buying them at the store). I have a question; you said to bake them at the hightest temperture for 10 min. - my oven gets 'really hot' and I'm afaid it would melt the CD. What is the 'highest' temperature that you are referring? Thanks for the idea.
good to the point with no fluffing about, I might even give it a go!!! I wonder if you can put little pictures between them and get a similar affect.........
I put out an electronic newsletter called Quarterly Green Tips for my other company (Sun Sugar Farms) where we market reusable collapsible grocery shopping crates and other reusable items to cut down on waste. I have been trying to figure out what to do with my old CDs and this is a great idea. Can I share the link to this in my newsletter?
+mama warrior yeah i used acrylic paint, set your oven like at 220 C and keep them inside for about 10 minutes it could be less time that's but why i always watch them cuz when they start to bubble they are almost done.
+Omar Alkhalil actually when the plastic of the cd's melt it make the titles one piece so if you wash them the water will not go inside, i didnt apply any water thu
+Make It Easy Recipes thanks for replying, i have just tried this but uncolored just to test thickness and texture, i was hoping for slightly thicker results. but still its a great idea, the ease of nipping these are quite efficient unlike glass and ceramic, i wonder if baking a whole uncut CD would work to shape out any desired cut.
My CD's totally shatter trying to cut even a small cut??? They also had some sort of green paint and that would not peel off--shoots? Princo? brand? Know any others? The packs are closed so you cannot tell what they look like!
N Vega hi thanks for your comment, you have to put them into the oven for around 10 minutes at the highest temperature. i haven't try the glass paint so i might do it cuz it sounds like a good idea.
Save your lungs! The fumes may very well be toxic. Always check with manufacturing companies before using their products in a manner other than it was designed for.

No, the edges woud be choppy
@@marietoutsimplement.9442 Absolutely. Cutting it beforehand and then heating it will smoothen the edges. Original idea is still better. 👍
Woooow! Amazing idea :D
Thank you 😊

Wowww genius!!!

Why?
Plastic fumes are very toxic. When you heat plastic the vapors can make you very sick, cause lung disease or cause cancer anywhere in your body. Toxic fumes can also cause brain damage.
Your are Majestic Thanks!!!!!!
You can soften those cds up before you cut them by soaking them in a metal bowl of boiled water for about ten minutes before you cut them.
awesome idea!!! thank you
welcome and thanks!
loverly .....and your voice
What s great idea thank you
Great video ..thanks ..I have to go and try this.
+Willy Dahm (Willy D) thank you 😊

Arlene Spaulding well i think about 200 Celsius will be fine i mean all you need to do is to watch over them.Thanks for your comment =)
Thank you for sharing this! New subbie, so I will be checking out more of your videos!

Make It Easy Recipes n et puis voilà
good to the point with no fluffing about, I might even give it a go!!! I wonder if you can put little pictures between them and get a similar affect.........
PB?????? not the PB?
Sweet :))
What kind of paint do you use for mosaic color for CES?
Super 👍💓
That is amazing!

Beautiful 😍
Now that is clever. Who knew?!
yeah you see, we can recicle many things by turning into nice ideas.
YOU are a CUTESIE! Thank you for the great video :D
Great idea.
just amazing
What kind of paint did you use kindly explain, great video, thanks for sharing
. Idea was so so so nice I love your work great and nice job
+Ruby kamboj thank you
brilliant idea thanks for sharing
+Marlene Maharaj welcome
¿Se pueden utilizar para decoracion de exterior? Por ejemplo, en una pared o un muro?¿ el color resistirá?
can i use something else apart from an oven (cause I don't have one yet)
Why wouldn't you do 2 cds and cut after you paint b4 you put in the oven??
whats the highest temp? I tried at 350 what do you put yours at?
Love your tutorial! I have ruined so many cds by scratching the cover off.
I'm going to try this! Great was to recycle! Thanks for sharing! :)
You are so welcome, i'm glad you liked it.
very creative!
thank you
At the highest temperature for 10 minutes, right? For all ovens the same?
that's brilliant love it
thanks!
Wow amazing 👌
+shailendra vaishnav thanks
lovely idea however it would be better to paint a whole cd and then cut it up.
Yeah i agree I'm looking into how to make mosaics (didn hav tiles) and i think this is a brilliant idea
Very clever........ !!!
+Josephine Tyree thanks!
Good idea 👍🏻❤️
+Ali Raafat thank you !
I tried this and it doesn't work. The silver coating won't come off the cd.
awesome idea! the tape your using is box tape or packing tape not duct tape.
Jane Renee duct tape also comes in clear and is stronger than packing tape.
zane4utwo شش!
Loads of thanks and hugs😙
+Angelo Gunatilaka 😙
absloutly right about toxisity but its brilliant idea thanx for every one
very lovely .
thanks !
Thank u for the beautiful video. i just want know whether after colouring the cd pcs before keeping in the oven it should dry? Thank u
Hi, you color the pieces and dwhen you finish put them into de oven, they will dry inside. I hope I clear your doubt. Thanks for your comment 😄.
Sweet :)
Umm, why are you not utilizing the most beautiful part which is stuck to the sticky tape?
Can you think of something to do with that part too?
+leighatkins22 i actually didn't think about it yet but i guess we can try to do something hehe.
Very niffy idea.
super cool!!! (new subbie)
+80zbutterfly ohhh thank you so much 😘
Was that acrylic paint? And what tempature for oven amd how long? Great idea!!
+mama warrior yeah i used acrylic paint, set your oven like at 220 C and keep them inside for about 10 minutes it could be less time that's but why i always watch them cuz when they start to bubble they are almost done.
Creative, thanks for sharing, but does the paint wash off tiles if water was applied?
+Omar Alkhalil actually when the plastic of the cd's melt it make the titles one piece so if you wash them the water will not go inside, i didnt apply any water thu
+Make It Easy Recipes thanks for replying, i have just tried this but uncolored just to test thickness and texture, i was hoping for slightly thicker results. but still its a great idea, the ease of nipping these are quite efficient unlike glass and ceramic, i wonder if baking a whole uncut CD would work to shape out any desired cut.
U can soak in hot water also to remove the paper?
Will the CD still play? :D
If only cutting cds were this easy
My CD's totally shatter trying to cut even a small cut??? They also had some sort of green paint and that would not peel off--shoots? Princo? brand? Know any others? The packs are closed so you cannot tell what they look like!
Did you make a kitchen backsplash? I wanna see
can we make it in microwave ?
Wonderful and creative ...... When you put it in the oven ... Is the fire coming from above or below the mosaic?
looove this video, would this tiles work to make a mosaic in cement mushrooms?
+Maria Vera i haven't try it actually m
Great tutorial. Can d painted cd be sun dried. I live in d tropics w plenty sunshine
yes
,should the oven be preheated for 10mins?
Merci...
Great idea - excellent video!
Have you tried glass paint? & don't know if I missed but .. what oven temperature and for how long?
N Vega hi thanks for your comment, you have to put them into the oven for around 10 minutes at the highest temperature. i haven't try the glass paint so i might do it cuz it sounds like a good idea.
Save your lungs! The fumes may very well be toxic. Always check with manufacturing companies before using their products in a manner other than it was designed for.
If you detect fumes, your body is taxed in filtering them.
Fumes can still be toxic even when odorless and tasteless (think carbon dioxide).
