Recycle Envelopes

I must get at least 2 credit card offers in the mail each week, if not more. I hate throwing away all the envelopes. Then one night when I realized that I was out of CD/DVD sleeves I figured out a way to use them. This is my first Instructable. It's pretty simple but who knows, someone may find it useful.

Fold

Just take an unused envelope and fold it to the size of a cd/dvd.

Tape

Slap a piece or 2 of tape on it to keep it together.

Optional - Trim

If desired trim off a little of the excess flap.

Insert CD/DVD!

The flap doesn't actually fold over the cd/dvd but I was just looking for something quick and simple to protect the disc.
