Do people even use cd’s anymore??? I know with the smartphones and ipod movement they have been scarce around this house….
But for one of my daughter’s Christmas presents we decided to get her a karaoke machine–we have tons of fun Disney music cds and I knew she wanted the frozen cd for her birthday…so it just made sense! (Huge regret. HUGE. a karaoke machine? What was I thinking???? Let it go –on repeat. )I cut a front piece and a back piece….it’s about 15 inches long (you can make it longer if you have lots of cds) and 6 inches wide. Then I cut 4 inch strips of fabric that is the same width as the main pieces (10 of them!)I ironed over the top edge twice and sewed.Then I positioned the pieces on the front. I had a cd handy so I could make sure my spacing was correct! I pinned each piece…
and starting at the top piece sew the bottom to the main piece. Work your way down.when you turn it upside down it look likes this!
Then I made my own bias tape…placed the back piece on and sewed the bias tape around all 4 sides! (If you need help with bias tape head HERE) (yup. no pictures of the bias tape steps…but I made sure to take one of what it looks like upside down!)
You could totally add a strap to hang. or some ribbons or elastic to tie it to your visor in your car…!Well there you go. A blast from the past. Let me know if you still have cds!

I think this is probably better than the average CD holder because it’s cloth instead of the scratchy nylon. I like it!

What a great idea! In the past I’ve bought some of the store bought CD holders and they are are always boring black. Your CD holder is colorful. I just love it!
