Now its time for the clever bit. If you look at what we have so far, you will see that the last two fold flap around quite abit, and the CD can still slide out if the paper is thrown around.

Unfold the last two folds and refold them in the reverse order, so that the short of the two is onto of the longer. This is for looks only :-D

If you look in the picture you can see the channel which the two side folds created.

What we are going to do is slide the longer of the two flaps inside this channel on the smaller flap.

If you look at the second picture, you may understand abit better, the flap on the left is the shorter one, the longer flap slides inside this channel.

Once you have just got it in, you should have somehting like the Third picture.

Now gentlly push the paper flat, you might need to feed more of the longer flap in, it should end up like the fith picture.


And there you have it! Throw it around, see how well it stays shut, and yet it can be opened easily, and reclosed.

Write what is on the CD onto the paper, and there you go! no excuse for scratched CD's again.

Total cost? £0 ( Yes I do live in England WOOO!)

Most people will have a piece of paper lying around, if not, a ream of 500 sheets only costs £1-3, depending on where yoou get one.

Hope this has helped some people out there, :-D

Very neat and simple. That's the way I like it. Now, if I just could have something (device, alarm, tactic, etc) to prevent people from holding discs from the main surface... Keep the good work Cp!
