How to Make a Folded-Paper CD Case

Those scratched drivers CDs forcing you to download all the drivers again... paper CD case is the simple and less-expensive solution

Steps :-

1. Take one A4 sheet of paper

Center a CD, which you’ll be using as a guide, at the top of a sheet of paper, as shown.



















2. Fold in sides of paper to sides of cd.



















3. Center cd at the middle of the folded paper.



















4. Fold bottom up.



















5. Fold the horizontal creases, which I’ve identified in red, to sides as indicated by arrows, so the creases are even with sides of original folded sides. (I’ve identified the creases in question with dashed lines for illustration.)



















6. You'll have a box-shape sticking up toward you after making the folds in step 5. Just fold this flap down flat as shown below.



















7. Tuck the "ears" that are sticking out to the sides in between the original side folds and the fold created in step 4.



















8. Slip cd into front pocket and fold down top half of paper.



















9. Dog-ear the top two corners of the top half of paper.



















10. Slip top half of paper into pocket.



















The original is pretty generic, but to give your cd holder some pizzazz as well as a personal touch, print labels and photos on the front center of paper.



















Also, there is a CD case for multiple number of CDs on this Link1 or Link2(Instructables.com)
