5. Let it dry about 24 hours before adding the clutch back.

There are endless possibilities here if you have a stash of old CDs but haven't figured out what to do with them yet. I did try to drill a hole in the top of the triangle, but with little luck. I think my drill bit just wasn’t tough enough though. I also tried using a simple hammer and nail to put in a hole - busted! So, that’s when I resorted to making a post earring with glue. You could also glue stuff - beads, found objects, wire - to the front of the CD pieces after cutting it up.
