❤ Super Duper Easy CD Case Palette

Super easy to do CD case palette.
What you need:
CD Case that you don't need anymore
Depotted Eyeshadows or anything that would fit into the case,
Glue, I used Elmers Glue
Magnet Sheet (optional)
Paper with a picture or image you want to display on the case.
Scissors
Ruler

This is probably the easiest project ever!
Step 1:
Take out the CD and cover from the CD case. You are then gonna remove the part of the CD case that hold the CD in place. Easiest way is hold the bottom of the case in both hand then slowly twist it. One corner will pop out. Grab that corner and pull it so the opposite corner pops out. Then you'll have to manuever to the other side and pull on one corner inwards away from the edge and once that corner is released it should come right out.
Step 2:
Have your Paper ready (with printed picture or image you desire.)
You don't have to have paper. Feel free to just glue the shadows to the back of the case if you want.
Printing measurements are front 4.78 x4.78 and back is 5.95x4.73
Cut your paper to correct measurements. If your image was printed to big you can either reprint at a smaller size or just cut off the edges. Basically you just need the paper to be cut to the measurements below. I only did it for the back of the case and left the front empty so I can easily see my eyeshadows.
The case itself, the front is 4 inches by 4 inches and the back is about 4 inches by 4 1/4 inches wide.
Step 3:
Glue the paper to the back of the case. Then begin gluing the eyeshadows to the paper. Let dry and you're done!

Easy right? I've been wanting to make a cd palette but never decided what I wanted to put into one. Then one day I officially decided that my NYX eyeshadow trio were just plain ugly in the palette contraption they came in. So the cd case came into play and I'm super happy with it and it's totally cute. I hope you guys try this out.
