Don't toss old CDs. You're gonna want them to recreate this gorgeous DIY project

Most of us don't give a second thought to tossing out trash in the garbage or recycle bin. We do it every day. Paper, cardboard, plastic, whatever. And we hardly imagine the possibilities that lie within even one scratched CD or paper towel tube.
There are so many ways to repurpose and upcycle what you may have formerly considered trash; but after you see this list, you never will again!
