Hey, teens! Got any old and scratched CDs you need to get rid of? Any old disks you're never going to use again? Don't just toss them; we can show you how to recycle them into something cool!
Hi, teenagers.
Want to learn a way you can make any old CDs that might be cluttering your house into something useful once more? One way is to make them into decorative coasters, perfect for any occasion.
Don't feel like creating your own design for it? Don't fret. Got any old magazines or comics you want to toss, but like a certain picture too much? Or maybe some fabric you'd like to see on a coaster? Bring it with and we'll see if we can't incorporate that into your coaster?
Note: If you decide to bring any of your own materials, make sure it's nothing you wouldn't bring to school. Any materials deemed inappropriate will be rejected. You will also be asked to put it away until you leave the library. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
