If you are a regular around here, you know that I love recycled CD crafts. This CD Frankenstein craft is my most recent, and he’s as easy to make as he is adorable! It’s great recycled kid’s craft for Halloween. If you have an overabundance of CDs or DVDs lying around, this would make a great make and take for a party.
Make a CD Frankenstein Craft
This Halloween craft uses an old CD both as a structural base for the project, as well as a template for cutting the shape of the finished face. You could also use this technique to make other monster crafts or other types of faces! As always, you can find a printable version of the instructions at the end of this post. And if you are short on felt, construction paper will work as well.

Supplies needed to make a CD Frankenstein
- Recycled CD or DVD
- Felt: green, black, gray
- Black Sharpie
- 2 large googly eyes
- Scissors
- White craft glue
- Trace the CD onto the green felt and cut out the circle. Glue the green circle to the CD.
- From black felt, cut a rectangle the width of the CD. Cut a jagged pattern at one end for the bangs. Glue onto the top of the CD. Trim the top of Frankenstein’s “hair” if you wish.
- Cut a small rectangle for Frankie’s eyebrows and glue in place slightly overlapping two googly eyes.
- Use Sharpie to draw stitches on face.
- Cut two small rectangles from gray felt and glue to the back of the CD on either side for his bolts.
I love this fun little Frankie face! These would be easily worked into your Halloween decor. You could even make a garland out of them!
