LifeHackery.com has a great article on 13 cool ways to reuse old CD jewel cases, completely with pictures of just how your finalized products should generally look.  Now I’m not very handy, but some of these things I could pull off myself.  If you have even the slightest bit of creative handicrafting ability, the sky is the limit for what you can do with your old CD cases.   I guarantee you that if you don’t have piles of old jewel cases around, someone you know does.  Like, for instance, me.

Now, I have a pretty small music collection, with only a few hundred CDs to my name.  Some people I know have more CDs than they know what to do with.  I’m a pack rat, and I’ve kept all my CD jewel cases.  Some of them I’ve reused for other CDs or school projects or transporting burned CDs to school and back for printing purposes.  Most of them are just collecting dust and taking up space.  Until now, that is.  I’m going to give these projects a try and if I don’t end up smashing my work halfway through with a hammer, I’ll give you guys an update on how my foray into craftiness has worked out.
