Introduction: Easy-Peasy CD Sleevesey
Make a double CD/DVD sleeve from an ordinary sheet of paper. No cutting required!
Step 1: Materials
Get a blank sheet of letter sized (regular) paper (other sizes like A4 may work).
I used some scrap paper from my printer.
Also, get a CD or DVD.

Step 3: Fold # 1
Using the CD/DVD as a guide, fold the bottom of the paper over the CD as shown.
You can make a loose fold then remove the CD to make a better fold.
Make sure this fold is straight!
Note: The more accurate and firm your folds are, the better this will work.

Step 6: "The Tuck"
Turn the sleeve over and grab the two folds you just made, then tuck one inside the other as shown.
Step 7: Position Is Strength
This sleeve holds 2 CD/DVDs, but if you are using just one, place it in the side with the tuck to prevent the sleeve from coming undone.
