Boil an old CD for 3 minutes, you will not believe the incredible results. DIY Home decor idea 

on first look i would say boiling seems to get the printing off (the floating debris?) and also seems to soften the disc for cutting so they dont break

@@chlorone Tried this, didn't work, even boiling again for longer. if the printing comes off, so does the foil layer, and it barely comes off.

@@greengrendel was it a blank or a commercial? Prolly work better with blanks.

Obviously to make it softer to be able to cut with scissors

@@christined4842 the water would have to be boiling to soften these discs and they would cool when removed from the water making it impossible to cut with scissors. They wont retain their heat once out of water. Have you tried breaking or snapping a CD they are tough. The fact they are thin and flat helps the heat disperse. All hot or boiling water would do is buckle their shape and make the foil layer come off the disc so I think its less complicated. The only way you could cut these discs is with a hacksaw or a pair of Garden secatuers

Thank you ♥ have a good day!!

That is beautiful, such talent. 🤗💕.

They do this just so you will click on it and boost their page

Looking at the residue I suspect it's to get the labels off the other side?

why boil?????

Blud thought this would be the 2nd coming of Jesus.

You do realize they (ON PURPOSE) mislead the titles so people will watch. Unfortunately RU-vid pays these people money now. So they all seem to beg for people to subscribe and like. THEN they started begging people to 'watch until the end' for MORE exciting info' (because that got them more money). NOW RU-vid changed the algorithm for their $$ calculation to include comments. So now they are begging to like comment and subscribe. Some are trying to be slick about the commenting by asking the audience a question. "Tell me what you would do different in the comments below". (Then they never respond to any comments). It's getting kinda pitiful

I was just about to ask why the boiling when I read your comment, that answered my question! :)

Good to know!

What’s so clever. What were you expecting!?!? lol it’s a craft channel

was kinda of wondering that myself....maybe easier to cut without them shattering....a bit of text would help.

They are easier to cut when soft😊

Heating makes the CD plastic ,,,PLIABLE, Soft to cut, COLD would Crack an break into pieces ,,,,ONLY REASON ,water heated entire surface 😊

Look at what remains in the pan afterwards…

So it's cooked

Think about it CDs are very hardened plastic and will shatter all over the place if you try cutting one so by boiling them first it's softing them making them pliable and easy to cut

😂😂😂❤

Your choice 😁

Good question.... that issue should be added to the video so people know if they have to do the cutting immediately or not.
