DIY CD box scrapbooking. Box for wedding disc

Discs that store videos and photos are very easy to scratch or damage. For this reason, they need to be stored correctly - in safe and durable packaging.

It is very important that the box or folder for discs not only ensures their integrity, but also pleases the eye. You can make such packaging yourself using a special technique called scrapbooking (from the English “scrap” - cutting, “booking” - book).

The essence of this technique is to create objects from paper that help capture memorable moments, as well as family history.

Using scrapbooking, you can create original photo albums, photo frames and postcards. Handicrafts for the home in the scrapbooking style will add a touch of joy to your life and comfort in your home.

Today, together we will try to make a wonderful scrapbooking box (folder) for disks that will decorate your home interior. So, what does it take to get the job done?

To create a folder we need:

  • thick cardboard (base)
  • plain medium density cardboard
  • cardboard with inscriptions
  • blue and pink vintage style scrapbooking paper
  • square cutout in the form of a frame
  • lace scraps
  • stationery knife
  • ruler
  • bulky double-sided tape
  • needle and coarse thread
  • black acrylic paint
  • stamps with letters

Master class with photos: CD box in scrapbooking style

First, we need to make a base for the future box - a folder for disks. It is made from very thick cardboard, which, at the same time, should bend well.

We take thick cardboard, cut it and make two blanks for the base.

The first is the bottom part of the folder, the second is the top part, which will cover the disks in the files. Using a soft pencil and a ruler, apply the appropriate markings: set aside the length, width and height of the base. We mark the place where the disks will be located with two vertical lines. Using a ruler or a non-writing pen, mark the places where the cardboard folds.

Next, we make paper files for the disks. Let's take medium-density cardboard, cut it and apply markings as shown in the photo. We cut off the excess cardboard using a stationery knife. We bend the edges of the file and stick pieces of double-sided tape on them along the entire length. We fold and glue the side parts of the file, and bend the bottom and glue it to the top. We do the same for other paper files. You will need several of them. Don't forget to cut a semicircle on top so that the disks can be folded easily.

We put tape on each file and “assemble” them. To do this, take the base of the folder and place all the paper files there, gluing them on the sides. The bottom of the folder is ready. Now let's start decorating the top part (lid).

Top part of scrapbooking box

is made like this.

Take blue scrapbooking paper and cut out a rectangle to fit the front of the folder. In the center we will have a window in a figured frame, so we also cut out a small square from pink paper. Glue it onto the blue rectangle. Then we take a figured white clipping and decorate the frame in the window using glue.

For additional decor, carefully sew a pink rectangle of paper with coarse thread along the edge. Glue it to the front of the workpiece. We cut out two leaves from cardboard with inscriptions and place them in the center of the window. We will also attach a white paper flower there.

Cut out three small rectangles. Then we apply letters with black acrylic paint (any inscriptions are possible) and make pockets in the center. We decorate the bottom of the lid with lace.

The top of the lid is ready. When all the elements are well glued, you can connect the top and bottom of the disc box. We put the discs in it, close the lid and use it for its intended purpose.

This is all! A wonderful box - a folder for disks in the scrapbooking style is ready. Surely, it will become an interesting decoration for the room and desk.

Good evening, girls and boys:))

I have prepared my first master class for you! I’m very worried whether I’ll like it, whether I did everything correctly, whether I wrote it clearly and whether the photos are good... eh :)) Well, until I show you, I won’t know the verdict %)) So today we’ll make just such a box for a disc with wedding photos :)

A little thing with a laconic design, just as I and photographer Yulia Gorbunova, who commissioned this box, loved:) So, what do we need:

Tools

  • metal rulers: large (50cm) and small (20cm).
  • scissors for tape and paper (with blue handles) and for tape (with black handles)
  • glue Moment-Crystal
  • toothpick
  • stationery knife (I just love tools from the Japanese manufacturer OLFA)
  • double-sided tape wide (5cm) and narrow (9mm)
  • lighter
  • tweezers with long flat halves
  • scoring bone
  • regular narrow tape (1cm)
  • self-healing mat (I have OLFA A2 format - awesome :))))
  • pencil (forgot to put it in the photo)
  • needle or pin (also not in the photo)

Maybe you can do without some of the tools from this set, but I really love my tools and try to use them more often!
:)) Materials

  • binding cardboard 1.5mm
  • base paper (box lining)
  • scrap paper for cover design
  • plastic disc holder
  • ribbon (for tying the box)
  • any decor to your taste (not everyone can be as laconic as me%))))

That seems to be all. I’m also preparing printouts of a plate with the couple’s names (according to the customer’s wishes), and a “endpaper”, so to speak, with the customer’s logo :))

Let's get started!

1. First you need to determine the size of the box. To do this, we measure our disk holder, if it is available:) The size of my holder is 13.7x12.4 cm. We add 0.3 cm around the perimeter and get a base size of 14.3x13 cm. The thickness of the holder is 3.5 mm... rounded to 5 mm. We get two parts of the crust 14.3x13cm and a spine 13x0.5cm (if you don’t have a ready-made holder, or it’s small and round like a button, then you can make the size of the crusts based on the diameter of the disk). We cut out the crusts and spine from cardboard and lay them in a row, leaving 4mm gaps between the parts (these are two thicknesses of our cardboard (1.5mmx2)+1mm). Secure with regular tape at the bottom and top

2. Prepare paper for pasting. We measure a 1.5 cm strip along the bottom and draw a line with a scoring bone. We glue the crusts + spine with double-sided tape as shown in the photo below (the side where there was no tape before). Then we peel off the protective pieces of paper from the tape and, retreating 1.5 cm from the left, glue it onto a sheet of paper, aligning it with the punched line at the bottom 3. Carefully peel off the pieces of tape that fixed the structure. We cut the sheet around the cardboards, retreating 1-1.5 cm around the perimeter (if the paper for pasting is thin or medium-density, then you can get by with 1 cm, but if it is thick 250-300 g, then it is better to leave a margin of 1.5 cm) 4. Cut off at the corners superfluous. We make cuts at 45 degrees to the sides of the rectangle, departing from the corner of the cardboard by about 2.5 mm (cardboard thickness 1.5 mm + a little margin). We crease the base along the perimeter of the cardboard rectangle and bend it along the creasing lines 5. Glue narrow double-sided tape along the long sides, slightly extending beyond the corners. Then I also iron the scotch tape with a scoring bone for stronger gluing (I think) 6. Glue the long sides, glue the corners as shown in the photo (I also iron the ends of the part with a crease for greater beauty and clarity of the lines). We glue the tape to the short sides of the rectangle, not reaching the corners by about 1 cm 7. We glue the short sides, iron the ends and “bends” with a creasing tool for better adhesion of the tape 8. We admire the neat corners :))) We take out our tape, iron it and take measurements :)) The “height” of the crust is 13.0cm, the width of the ribbon is 2.8cm (I forgot to iron the ribbon at this stage and ironed it at the end) 9. We need to position the ribbon in the center of the crust. To do this, we make simple calculations: 13.0-2.8 = 10.2 cm; 10.2/2=5.1cm; We measure 5.1 cm from the bottom of the crust and put marks with a pencil in several places (but no closer than 5 mm to the edges of the crust on the left and right). We glue pieces of tape (approximately 3cm each) on the left, on the right, along the spine (from the pencil marks up), and approximately in the middle of each half of the crust 10. We measure out about 80cm of tape. Bend it in half to mark the middle. We glue the tape, focusing on the marks (and the bottom of the side and central pieces of tape) and the spine (the middle of the tape here, as you understand). If you are planning sew-on decorations or brads, now is the time to sew them on and install them! :)) We are preparing a “bookend”, if you can call it that. To do this, we measure our crust along the short and long sides. Then we subtract 0.6 cm from the resulting lengths (that is, 0.3 on each side), and cut out the paper of the required size (I have a printout with a logo) 11. We try on the “endpaper” for the crust. We apply it so that there is an equal distance around the perimeter (that is, 0.3 cm). We put light marks with a needle (but to see later) along the top edge of the endpaper, in the very corners and on the spine 12. We glue narrow double-sided tape around the perimeter to the back of the endpaper. Be sure to glue it to the crust on the spine and in several places on the halves of the crust (I tried my best and glued everything %)))) 13. Peel off the protective pieces of paper from the tape, and glue the endpaper in place, focusing clearly on our needle marks in the corners and the spine ! Using your (clean!) hands, smooth the endpaper properly :)) Then, using the blunt side of the crease, smooth the spine properly. (if you decorated the cover in step 12, then go to step 19) 14. Design the cover. We measure the width and height. We get a width of 14.5 cm and a height of 13.0 cm 15. We do the next simple calculations and cut out two rectangles of 13.9 x 12.4 cm from scrap paper. We try it on the cover, pin the needle marks (with the cover folded), glue it on the back side with tape 16. We glue it, focusing on the needle marks, and admire it :)) 17. We make a beautiful multi-layer card (I have the names of the newlyweds). To do this, we prepare a printout (it is printed on the same paper that was used to paste the crust), scrap paper, and a piece of paper for pasting. Glue the printout onto scrap paper, retreating the distance you need (I have about 1.5mm). Then we cut off the two remaining sides with the same indentation (it’s easier to make the same small indentation than if you cut out the backing a little larger than the printout and then try it on and glue it) 18. We repeat the same procedure again (with adhesive paper). The card is ready! 19. We will glue the card in the center of the box. To do this, we make calculations, try on, outline, glue :) Then we prepare the holder and the Moment-crystal. Apply a drop of glue with a toothpick to the 4 corners of the holder, try it on (in the first step we calculated 0.3 cm on all sides of the holder), glue it to the inner right side of the crust 20. Iron the ribbon (if it became wrinkled in the process, or if you did not iron it before ). We fold the box, place the pieces of tape next to each other and cut them together diagonally. Then, using tweezers with a flat long nose and a lighter, I process the edges of the ribbons (I clamp it in tweezers so that 0.5-1 mm of the cut protrudes and set it on fire; the cut turns out to be very even and not friable). My master class came out - a box for the disc. I will be happy to duplicate it here for my beloved Bees. Today we will make a bright box for a disc, perhaps these will be photos from a children’s photo session or from your wedding - the principle of making such boxes is the same. Here are some options.

And we will make it this bright.

So let's get started. We will need: - Paper for pastels, cardstock or watercolor paper for the base - Scrap paper - Decorations for decoration (I used buttons, acrylic stone from Glitz and paper tape) - Glue. — I use a stitch, but if you don’t have a machine, you can do without it.

1. Making the base. To do this, cut out a rectangle 14*28.5/

2. Then we crease: measure 14 cm on each side, in the middle we get a fold of 0.5 cm. We draw the fold line with scissors. The base is ready.

3. Separately from the base, we make the upper decorative part: cut out the backing 13.5*13.5cm, place scrap paper 13*13cm on it (or put it together from leftovers, like mine, leaving a torn edge)

4. Now let’s decorate the inside. Cut out the backing 13.5*13.5, make a backing for the photo 7.5*10 (backing size 8.5*11cm)

5. Cut out a pocket for a disk 8*13.5 cm, cut out a semicircle in the middle and fix it to the base using double-sided tape.

6. Sew all the interior design elements to the base.

7. From the reverse side we take out all the threads and secure them with tension glue.

8. We go through the holes from the punctures with a needle with the handle of scissors to smooth them out. This way the 2 parts will be tightly glued to each other and will not bulge.

9. Decorate the backdrop and glue 2 parts to the base of our “box”.

It's hard to believe, but this tech-chic lamp is handmade from plastic CD cases. It's not difficult to make one like this. It is enough to purchase a ready-made base for the lampshade and glue the boxes to it, placing them strictly in a circle. And to create an interesting play of light, insert a piece of black cardboard into each case.

How to make a CD envelope from A4 sheet?

Everyone is familiar with the situation when you need to find an envelope for a CD. And, if the original packaging is lost, there is no problem: a regular A4 sheet will help.

Instructions:

  1. Fold the sheet in half across the long side.
  2. We unbend the fold - this is the outline of the middle of the product.
  3. We fold one short side into a triangle so that its sides meet in the middle.
  4. Now we bend 4 cm inward on both long sides.
  5. Fold the workpiece along the intended fold.
  6. We bend the top edge inward to the level of the base of the triangle and wrap it inward.
  7. We bend the triangle with the top down. The disc envelope is ready.

Maze game

Treat your children to an educational game made with your own hands. You will need an old CD case, black cardboard, ready-made balls or self-hardening polymer clay, Bendaroos wax sticks (you can buy these in children's art departments).

Cut a suitable size shape from cardboard and insert it inside the box. Using wax sticks (they stick well to paper), lay out the labyrinth according to the previously prepared sketch. Place a couple of ready-made balls inside the maze. You can also make them yourself from polymer clay.

Gift envelope for quick money

Banknotes as a gift are certainly not the most ethical souvenir, but they are nonetheless the most popular. To make up for some inconsistency with etiquette, it is customary to give money in an envelope. And here you don’t have to limit your imagination in choosing the shape of the holiday packaging, using a standard A4 sheet.

Instructions:

  1. Cut off part of the sheet to make a square.
  2. Fold the sheet along 2 diagonals and smooth out the folds.
  3. We bend one of the corners inward towards the center.
  4. We fold the workpiece along the center fold line.
  5. We reduce the lateral angles to the middle of the base of the resulting triangle.
  6. We bend the upper corner, which is in the middle, in the opposite direction and use our finger to form a rhombus out of it.
  7. We bend the upper triangle along the base line so that the top falls into the diamond. The envelope is ready.
