Cassettes were nearly wiped out by CDs, but they were also only very temporary companions. Many of us still have a rack, or even a whole shelf of CDs from the 00s that we no longer need. Compact Disc shells don't have as much to offer to home aesthetics as old books, but CDs on their own have a multitude of uses in your home (since they have already completed their lives' primary goal).
Other than the obvious advantage of having glammed-up accessories, the world could do without an extra pile of CD litter. You know the mixtape your ex gave you would be useful one day.
Stud clutch Turn your everyday purse to a fancy evening clutch. You will need - CDs, super glue, boring clutch. Ta-da! You’re welcome.
Guitar If you're tired of that old acoustic, and you feel like it needs to look a little more chic for it to catch up with you, this is your solution. Break your CDs up into little shards and stick them all over your guitar.
Neckpieces Collar necklaces mosaic-studded with CD shards. Let your imagination run wild.
Tissue box Your boring old tissue box from the 90s is exhausting even to look at. Replace it with another box embedded with shiny CD chips.
Mosaic flower pots CDs, super glue and glass paint. Get creative!
Jewellery box We know you don’t like to admit that your grandma’s boring old jewellery box has very little in common with what it holds inside. Break up your old CDs into pretty little pieces and stick them in shiny side up.
Shoes The old pair of wedges that you thought you wore way too often or the pair of stilettos you think are already out of fashion just because you have been caught wearing it with more than half of your wardrobe - don’t throw them out just yet! Give them a glitzy new life using CD splinters.
