Uses for CD Jewel Cases

Use Seasonal Napkins in CD Cases for Coasters

Here's a cute tip for the frugal and festive folks: Use CD jewel cases as coasters for special occasions. Purchase seasonal/holiday cocktail napkins at a discount from the dollar store after the season has passed, insert them into empty jewel cases, and change with the occasions.

Use Jewel Cases For Storing Small Craft Items

A new use for CD jewel cases: I was trying to figure out what to do with all the empty jewel cases I had lying around and I noticed that if you removed the spool it leaves enough room for paper quilled pieces made with 1/8 inch or smaller paper strips. I use them to protect pieces during transport or when they're on display.

I have sent this request once before. I was wondering if there is anyone that is aware of a store, organization, or recycling center that will take old CD Jewel cases. I have a ton of them from CDs and we do not use them since we have caselogic CD wallets for the car. If anyone has any feedback on this let me know! I am at the point now where the donation could be for cash or simply for a donation.

I found that these empty cases make great storage for pressed leaves and flowers.

I have tons of CD Jewel cases that I have no use for them as my husband and I use the CD cases in the car. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place where I can ship all of our old CD cases in exchange for cash. Kind of like recycling?

I could really use a lot of used CD cases. Hundreds! I would be willing to pay S&H if anyone just wants to get rid of them. I have a lot of movies that I burned to DVD's. I am keeping them in cake boxes right now. I need the standard size plastic ones so I can store them with the titles visible, the thin one are useless for my needs.
