i want to make a whole wall in my room the shiny side of cds. how could i hang the cds on the wall, without glueing them?
also, ive heard that the cds scare away birds. i have a bird, so would this be a bad choice with a bird?
thanks!!

Xenolan answered Monday January 15 2007, 4:17 pm: One way to do it would be to get some large, thin pieces of plywood or masonite, paint it the same color as your wall, nail them up and then glue the CDs to that. I assume that the issue is not to damage the wall - this would achieve that, and all you would have is maybe a dozen nail holes per sheet which could be easily patched when you take them back down. If the issue is to avoid harm to the CDs, then you have a trickier problem, but the first step of putting up plywood should still help; you would then follow that by using small nails hammered carefully into the center hole of each CD, tightly enough to hold it in place but not crack it. I wouldn't envy you that job, though!
As far as the bird goes, CDs are sometimes used to scare away unwanted birds. They are hung on tree limbs or similar things with fishing line, so that they spin in the breeze and reflect the sun in crazy ways. It is this that scares the birds, not anything to do with the CD itself. Since your wall won't be spinning, your bird shouldn't have a problem with it.

Igotamonopoly answered Monday January 15 2007, 1:28 am: If you can drill like 10 holes in the wall, you could drill a little hook in the top of your wall and then glue the CDs to fishing line. If you meant no glue at all, then just drill holes in the tops and bottoms of the CDsand weave them together. [ Igotamonopoly's advice column | Ask Igotamonopoly A Question ]
