This could be made with a piece of scratch paper or what have you.

Saved me a trip to the store and I just don't keep paper cd holders handy.

One thing I can say about your paper idea is you can print your paper from a template and make a pretty cool holder, not an all white one. lol

Still, the paper holder (told you wrong earlier by the way; the box holds 100 of them; lol) has a cool translucent plastic window so Haaaa. lol

I did buy the box for $5.99 plus tax at Big Lots (for the Memorex CD sleeves full of these that is) well over 7 years ago (could even have been a decade) so your 3¢ (assuming you embellished it with the print work ink) is likely a better solution. lol

Cool trick in a pinch O.
I works fine with American Letter (ANSI A) 215.9 x 279.4, it would be better with ISO A4 210 x 297.

I get the windowed cheapies by the hundred, but I still like the origami version. Would be great for gifts with GIMP-art printed paper ;)
