Groovy CD Case

Why

CD cover art can be just as cool or retro as your music! These are so easy to make, you can personalize your entire collection.

Steps

1. Remove the cover insert from a CD jewel case. Trace around the insert on a piece of white paper with Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils. Cut it out with Crayola Scissors.

2. Draw a cool retro design with Crayola Markers.

3. Insert your finished cover into the CD jewel case. Why not color code all of your cases?

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
