1. Stand for cups and glasses
Admit, you used to often used discs for such purposes. However, in the "naked" form, they look not very attractive, it is much more interesting to show fantasy and decorate them in various ways. It can be colored threads, fabric, stickers or just painting. We recommend to navigate the combination with the overall kitchen interior or make a set of support-supports in one style.
2. Hours
The clock made of old CDs will become an excellent addition to modern interiors. You can make a miniature version from a single disk or more massive if you make several disks with each other. For these purposes, you can use the usual resistant glue or double-sided tape.
As for the arrows, you will need a mechanism from old hours that you simply place in the central opening of the disk and secure from the inside. You can additionally draw numbers or figures on the front side of the disks, however, the minimalistic option will look the most stylish.
3. Garland Curtain

Then you will need to take a thin wire or fishing line and remember how you collected puzzles as a child. Actions will be about the same: Many small details you turn into a solid "picture". Girlands can additionally decorate with ribbons or beads, as well as to provide small funny memorandum memories. Such a curtain of disks is very multifunctional: you can use it in doorways and even in the bathroom.

You will need an empty transparent ball (better plastic), scissors, adhesive gun, shiny paper or cloth and many, many pieces of disks. The work is pretty simple and monotonna: step by step you will neatly stick shiny fragments to the ball itself.
Then the brilliant filler is placed inside the ball in the form of paper or fabric - and the shining element of the decor is ready. Similar balls can also be used to decorate the New Year tree, and just at suitable celebrations. Particularly patient can even create a similar disco ball.
5. Decor of dishes
The balls are ready, and the fragments did not bother? Well, you can try to collect the word "eternity", like Kai from the fairy tale about the snow queen ... or continue decorative exercises and create, for example, a decorative dish.
The principle of laying the same as with the balls, try to close the appearance of the fragments to the decorative mosaic. To do this, you can glue them with different sides or additionally paint on top in the desired color. A similar decor can be done not only with dishes, but also, for example, with a mirror frame or flower pots: it all depends on your imagination and patience.
6. Art object
If the Mountain of the discs in your case is not at all metaphor, then it is better to approach its decoration scale. You should not smash it into parts, it is better to try to think about how many small details can turn together to become something beautiful together. For example, in someone's portrait.
