How to Make a Pretty Storage Basket with Old CDs

Here is a fun DIY project to recycle your old CDs and make a cute little storage basket. It is very easy to make and requires just a little bit of sewing. You can use different patterns of the wrapping fabric and ornaments to create your own style. This cute little storage basket is very practical. You can use it as a cosmetic bag to organize your beauty accessories. Or you can use it to store candies, chocolates, sewing accessories and many other small items. With some creativity and patience, we can reuse something that we are going to get rid of, such as old CDs, and make something useful. Let’s try it!
