How to make waste cd wall hanging

A simple and easy project that can be tried by adults and kids alike.  However for kids it is advisable to do it under adult supervision , particularly while  handling the clay and when using a pair of scissors.  Scissors with edges rounded are available and they may be used by children.

Projects based on waste or old CDs are in great demand for school projects and as holiday home work for summer holidays.  This idea may be useful if one is searching for something like this.
