Creative DIY CD Crafts Ideas for 2023

Repurposing old CDs into creative crafts is not only environmentally friendly but also a fantastic way to add unique decor to your home. Whether you have scratched, outdated CDs lying around or simply want to give your space a creative touch, these DIY ideas will inspire you to transform CDs into stunning pieces of art.

#### 1. **CD Mosaic Wall Art**

Create a vibrant mosaic wall art piece using broken or unused CDs. Break the CDs into small pieces (wear protective eyewear and gloves for safety) and arrange them on a wooden or canvas base. Use strong adhesive to secure the pieces in place, creating colorful patterns or designs. The reflective surface of the CDs will add a shimmering effect to your wall, making it a focal point of any room.

#### 2. **CD Coasters**

Turn old CDs into practical and stylish coasters for your coffee table or dining room. Cut fabric or felt into circles slightly larger than the CDs. Use strong adhesive to attach the fabric to the shiny side of the CD, wrapping the edges neatly. These coasters not only protect surfaces from heat and moisture but also add a touch of creativity with their reflective surface.

#### 3. **CD Dreamcatchers**

Create unique dreamcatchers using CDs as the base instead of traditional hoops. Wrap yarn, twine, or decorative ribbon around the edge of the CD to cover the reflective surface. Attach feathers, beads, and charms to the yarn strands hanging from the CD to create a whimsical and bohemian look. Hang these dreamcatchers near windows or in bedrooms to catch dreams and reflect light beautifully.

#### 4. **CD Sun Catchers**

Transform CDs into dazzling sun catchers that reflect light and create rainbow patterns in your home or garden. Use a hole puncher to create holes around the edge of the CD. Thread colorful ribbons or fishing line through the holes and tie them securely at the top to create a hanging loop. Hang these sun catchers near windows or in outdoor spaces where they can catch the sunlight and create mesmerizing reflections.

I recently spent a few very frustrating days trying to integrate Google Play Games Services authentication into my Unity Android project. What should’ve been a quick setup turned into a rabbit hole of trial, error, debugging, and learning.

So I’m writing this blog post to share my experience from the initial setup, to getting hit with the dreaded “Login Unsuccessful: Canceled” error, and finally arriving at a working solution with some added functionality.

We'll cover:

Common reasons behind the "Returning Login" error
Setting up your app correctly in the Google Play Console
Configuring your OAuth Consent Screen & Credentials in Google Cloud Console
Correctly linking your SHA-1 signing key
Testing with internal app sharing or closed testing tracks
Debugging tips for handling failed login attempts
How to check logcat logs for detailed error messages

This video is perfect for Unity developers who are integrating Google Play Services and running into issues during testing or deployment.
