Compact discs...remember those? Before you toss your old CD spindle cases away, consider upcycling them to a DIY terrarium, cable storage container, hamster toy, rainfall shower head, bird feeder, bagel sandwich lunch box, and more.

Need a quick and easy iPhone or iPod touch stand for watching videos? Simply remove plastic lid from CD spindle and lean the device horizontally against the center spindle.

CD spindle cases are also perfect for storing thread, yarn, ribbon spools, masking tape, and other knickknacks with a hole in the center.
