Jewel case art display

Make a simple yet striking photo arrangement with CD jewel cases.

We can’t get enough of the book Photocraft: Cool Things to Do with the Pictures You Love (Bulfinch Press, 2005; $20). Here’s one of our favorite projects, which we adapted with images of the West from our archive.

Jewel case display: Scan or crop your images to the size of a CD case (5 3/8 in. wide by 4 5/8 in. high), then print on good photo paper and trim. Use standard (not slim) cases from office supply or music stores. Discard plastic inserts.

Back each photo with cardboard or foam board and snap the cases shut. Attach them to the wall with 3-inch strips of sticky-back hook-and-loop fasteners (such as Velcro).
