Life tips: a simple paper CD cover

Do you ever go to watch TV and find all your DVDs in disarray? Have you ever tried to find a CD that just wasn’t there? Even though CDs are older and outdated, many people still have them lying around, their cases long lost, collecting dust.

However, Reddit, the website of great ideas, has a way to help organize your collection. It is easy to make a simple CD cover with any sort of scratch or unused paper from around the house.

First, place a CD in the middle at the edge of the shorter side of paper, folding the two side flaps inwards to rest on the CD. Next, fold the CD upwards and the top over so that it is encased in paper. Fold the top back up, and crease the corners to form triangles on the top. Finally, pull the top flap under the bottom one, completing your CD cover.

The whole process can take less than a minute after some practice, and you can draw on or decorate the paper used for wrapping to give the CDs more of an authentic feel. After covering them, CDs can be organized in plastic boxes to be more easily stored without having to worry about damage. This simple trick could save your whole collection.
