If you drill a hole in the cd air and or water will get to the aluminum coating and oxidize to a non reflective frosty look. A light coating of glue or clear fingernail polish can seal a small opening. Have to be very carefl cutting them or the foil will rip off. On some cd's the foil isnt fused to the plastic except around the perimeter. A good sun catcher can be made by tying a string through the hole and around the cd. Give yourself 3 or 4 inches of slack then tie on another cd. Keep on going to make as long a string as you like. Put a weight on the end of the cd chain and hang it from a high limb where the morning and afternoon sun can hit it. Pretty interesting light show. Cats and dogs are often freaked by the display, but birds just kept right on like nothing was new. If you would like a little neater chain, use silicon glue to put the cds together with a 10 of 15 pound test clear fishing line running through the middle. Just looks like cds hanging magically in the air. Real flashy. Hanging the things way up in a tree. Bow and arrow beats rock on a string. Have fun!

Like the little aluminum pie pans you see sometimes, I assume it is being used as bird/squirrel repellent - the motion, noise, and reflected light. Old CD's sometimes comes up in the discussions on how to keep birds off the plants. Just a guess. ;) Dave

I took the liberty of entering "creator 5 help" (sans quotes) in Google. A cursory review of the results provided the link below which may be your answer. DA Here is a link that might be useful: Burning with Roxio Creator CD 5

Here's what I made with two of them. They are little winter vignettes(scenes). The first one is a snowman ice fishing and the second one is santa. The pictures aren't very good but at least you get the idea. The first one is a snowman ice fishing and the second one is santa. These two sites have some more ideas. http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/fork6/l/blcdtrt.htm http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/ah_moneysaving_recycle/article/0,1801,HGTV_3131_1393930,00.html
