Easier way to make a CD case from a single piece of paper

unclejimmy · 2012-09-17T19:32:54-07:00

Saw this post on lifeprotips a while ago. I remember it not working with US letter.

Thank you. The other one was very interesting, but a bit absurd.

doteyes · 2012-09-18T03:12:46+00:00

Great! Now what are these CD things you speak of and where do I find them?

kungfoojesus · 2012-09-17T19:33:16-07:00

honestly, better than 99% of what's on LPT.

bbddbdb · 2012-09-17T20:29:16-07:00

What is a CD?

kivvi · 2012-09-18T02:15:56+00:00

less pretty, much more useful. Thank-you kindly

This doesn't look like A4 (US) size. Probably not as practical as it looks, since that's the most common paper size for a lot of us.

This is on the front page for all-time top posts. >.<

That needs more .jpeg!

Pedwin · 2012-09-17T20:19:39-07:00

The original one would make an excellent weapon, but this one is much more practical.

RobertNevill · 2012-09-18T03:36:44+00:00

This is great, Thank you! Good Bye Stapler & Tape

commodore-69 · 2012-09-18T03:41:35+00:00

I like it. It's simple, way cleaner and you don't need to make a million fucking measurements.

carpeggio · 2012-09-18T03:42:27+00:00

Isn't this pretty much a vinyl case smallified? tehe.

urgencyy · 2012-09-18T03:49:16+00:00

my band used this same diagram a couple months back and they came out pretty awesome

beatskin · 2012-09-18T03:51:55+00:00

That looks slightly bigger than A4... am I right, or just a total dick?

atomp95 · 2012-09-18T03:56:45+00:00

this is much easier but the other one looked quite a bit cooler

shakeinthosepants · 2012-09-18T04:05:58+00:00

Thanks for posting! I love this. This is kind of cheesy, but I have a friend who loves it when I make her mixed CDs. I choose songs that remind me of stuff we did together & then jot down that memory under the name of the song. This case would be perfect to use & decorate. It kind of looks like kraft paper. That's what I plan on using.

Redplushie · 2012-09-18T04:17:07+00:00

I wish I knew about this sooner. When I was in 7th Grade, I had to return a CD to a teacher wrapped in toilet paper.

I thought it was a good idea at the time, now... I just- facepalm.

TheGreatArgos · 2012-09-18T04:24:12+00:00

I've seen the cool kids do this.

GoldAlpinas · 2012-09-17T21:44:50-07:00

Just tried this and it works like a charm. Thanks haha.

govtbovin3 · 2012-09-18T05:01:47+00:00

Fucking reposts. Oh well, it's a useful thing.

RancidPonyMilk · 2012-09-18T05:02:55+00:00

whats this "CD" you speak of?

Fartmatic · 2012-09-18T05:07:22+00:00

Has anyone else made a comment implying that CD's have become archaic yet?

HawkeyeMuppet · 2012-09-18T05:08:38+00:00

I would have started with the other side of the CD facing up.

wondertwins · 2012-09-18T05:21:15+00:00

Want to know a better way to protect your CD's?.

ChaGz15 · 2012-09-18T05:46:55+00:00

People still have CDs??

grumbelbart2 · 2012-09-18T05:54:46+00:00

I don't get step 3. What prevents the CD from falling out to the left or right?

vergi · 2012-09-18T06:09:16+00:00

Thanks a lot, made one right away seeing how I had a few installation CDs lying around. Really helpful, even though my case didn't turn out to be the best..

DigitalChocobo · 2012-09-18T06:28:28+00:00

You would scrape the data side of the disk way less if you flipped it the other way before you did all this.

That is the point of the case, right? So the disk doesn't get scratched?

moranger · 2012-09-18T06:46:56+00:00

Welp, this is another repost. Well done flachoux!

IgD · 2012-09-18T07:21:14+00:00

Step 1: Don't be functionally useless when it comes to arts and crafts.

Instruction wasn't clear enough, got my dick caught in the fan.

lilgame510 · 2012-09-18T03:45:23+00:00

The instructions weren't clear enough, I got my dick wrapped in paper

picz · 2012-09-18T04:06:52+00:00

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

SlugsOnToast · 2012-09-18T04:32:29+00:00

Even easier: Make 10 of them with one of these.
