Upcycle Cd Cases - Awesome Photo Cubes

If you, like me, have a lot of CDs, then chances are you also have a lot of CD cases.  Those clear plastic hinged containers the discs came in.

For easier storage my hubby stores his in CD album cases, which means you can store a lot of music in one album for road trips or simply to save room.  So now you have those clear cases left..

Upcycle CD Cases into Photo Cubes or Storage Containers

Check out this short video, and I bet you have a ton of pictures on your computer that you could quickly print off and add to this project.  In the video she uses the end result for storage of magazines and the controller.

You could take this one step further and make a picture tower.

*Create and glue the four CD cases as she does in the video, but instead of stopping there.. simply create a few more and then glue on top of each other.  They are all the same size, making this project easier.

*This would make cool photo art, and you can now display all those pictures from your phone or on your computer for everyone to see.

*Turn your art piece around to show off different pictures.

*Or.. completely close off the top and bottom and have a complete cube that you can turn over to any side.  Display this anywhere as a conversation piece and to personalize your space.

*Plant Holder - Simply create the four sides with pictures and sit over a small potted plant or small tissue box.  What a cute way to personalize a space. 

*Spare Toilet Roll Holder - Create one for the bathroom shelf and place a spare roll of toilet paper inside. 

Better CD Storage

If you are done with CD cases taking up room in your home, then consider getting an album such as this one that can hold 400 pieces.




Just think how much room you can save, especially if you are downsizing and are faced with paring down your music.

Downsizing?  Keep ALL Your Music!!

Those cases do take up a lot of room.  By using these specialty albums, you can see right away which music you want.  These cases are totally handy for road trips too.

Now you can Have Fun and Upcycle the Cd Cases!

Once you have organized your music into portable albums, you can now have fun with the cases.

So Don't Throw Out The Cases

Obviously pick the clearest ones, with no scratches, and then have fun.  You could create artistic storage or displays for every room in the house.
