How to Fold a CD Cover from a Sheet of Copy Paper

Have you got a spindle filled with CD's and DVD's? Want to categorize and label them? This is the cheapest way you will find.

This method uses an ordinary (Letter size) sheet of paper from a copier or printer, 8.5 x 11 inches, oriented in the portrait position.

1. Fold one of the long edges of the sheet until it touches the edge of a CD aligned along the other edge. Square up the fold and crease it. This long crease will be about 1 3/4 inches from the edge of the page. Center the CD.
   
   
2. Fold the other long edge of the sheet so that the edge of the CD rests within your fold. Square up the fold and crease it. This second long crease will be about the same size and will be parallel to the first crease. Slide the CD to one edge of the paper.
   
   
3. Fold one of the remaining edges until it touches the edge of the CD. Square up the fold and crease it. This crease will be about 3 inches from the edge of the page. Center the CD within the paper.
   
   
4. Fold the final edge of the sheet so that the edge of the CD rests within your final fold. Square up the fold and crease it. Tuck the resulting flap inside the opposite flap to seal in the disk.
