If you have consolidated your CDs into a book, binder, organizer, etc. then you probably don't have need for those jewel cases anymore. Until now...
You can turn them into coasters! Better yet, oversized coasters! They are SO perfect for all sizes of drinkware and you can customize them for your events, interior styling, etc. Better yet-yet (I don't think that is an actual phrase), customizing them is a craft activity that can be shared with friends and family, including the kids!
When it comes to customizing them, the world is your oyster. It's a really easy project that can involve minimal to maximum effort on your part.
1. Dismantle jewel case by popping out the CD holder insert. You now have 2 parts - the exterior casing and the holder insert. Set the insert aside for later.
2. Remove the paper insert from the back and save it for a tracing card. If it's flimsy, trace it onto thicker paper or cardboard and use the thicker version for your tracing tool.
3. Insert contents. Possibilities include, but not limited to:
* Images from magazines
* family photos
* wrapping paper
* scrapbook or construction paper
* pasted artwork from the kids
* pebbles, rice, silk flowers pulled apart, small beads, etc.
I bet you can think of many other content possibilities!# Images and artwork can be traced with the tracing card and cut to fit the backside of the jewel case. You can also place bits of paper like confetti, silk flowers pulled apart, etc. To secure, snap the CD holder insert back into place.
# The front can have an image cut to fit as well OR you can fill the CD holder with rice, pebbles, herbs, more silk flowers, etc. Use your imagination and try different things!
# Depending if your jewel case is clear or has the black CD holder, your coaster will have a different appeal. The clear ones are fun because you can get a layered affect with your customized contents.
# To finish it off, you can polish up the sides with ribbon, trim, colored electrical tape, etc. OR, you can leave the sides untrimmed.
# If you DO leave them untrimmed, you have the option to easily switch the contents to customize for your next event. If you seal it up by gluing ribbon on, it's more permanent. So far, I am finding that tiny pieces of double stick tape placed at each corner and in the center of the sides is working great to hold the ribbon on - and then I can change the insides if I want more easily.
