I recently did a post on how to turn old jewel CD cases into a pen holder…well turns out that there are a bunch of other ways to turn those old outdated jewel cases into something new.

Here are the Top 5 ways to up-cycle jewel CD cases.

1- Keep one in your car to store away your auto insurance, registration & other important papers.
2- Open one up & use it to hold your recipe card as you cook.
3- Use them to frame artwork. Here is a DIY tutorial.
4- Print out a calendar & slip it into one side of the case as a handy desk accessory.
5- Put them up on Freecycle or Craigslist for a small indie band can use them to package their demo CDs or album releases.
