Upcycled DVD Tiles

These DVD Mosaic Tiles Are Eye-Catching, Easy to Make and Eco-Friendly

There's little doubt that you've got a few dozen (or hundreds) of DVDs and CDs kicking around your house that could easily be upcycled into DVD Mosaic Tiles for an instant pop of eye-catching color on almost any surface or device. In this easy to follow DIY, DVD Mosaic Tiles are made from simply heating the discs to separate the top label from the bottom data portion. From here, you simply chop the bits into smaller, more manageable pieces and glue/cement into place onto the surface of your choosing.

While DVD Mosaic Tiles might not be an optimal solution for all, it's an innovative craft that can be done by little ones (with adult supervision, of course) to help get rid of old media.
