I was burning some photos from a friend of mine tonight and I realized that I was fresh out of cases. Not wanting to go through my junk to find an empty case or at lest the next CD/DVD to get all scratched up and die a slow death, I thought I’d have a look to see if anyone has a nifty origami solution. Sure enough, no less than three people have thought of how to do this and decided to share.
The first and easiest one for me was the one by Tom Hull. The ‘American CD Case‘ was easy to make without resorting to running paper through my printer.
Two others, Paper CD case and R&OS origami CD wallet are cool if you want to print titles, track lists, text on the spine, and a few other things. If you want some fancy fonts on your case then go with the one from R&OS. Both will produce an easy to follow PDF file but remember not to have it scale when you print because that will screw things up. Could be good if your doing a mini CD though. Go try it out and tell me if it works.
This should be a handy resource for anyone out there who has a naked CD/DVD that needs to be taken somewhere. Lets all sit back and appreciate the amazing power of paper.
