How to Personalize a CD Without a CD Label Printer

When making a personalized label for a CD, most people use the computerized label maker. However, some may not have a label printer, while others may just want to be creative and make a label that will stand out.

Instructions

    • 1

      Burn the CD with some favorite songs. You can burn the songs as MP3 data or in a music format like tradition music CDs.

    • 2

      Go to your local art and crafts store and purchase some poster paint as well as a set of glass stains. Make sure that the paint and the stain are the same color.

    • 3

      Get some cotton swabs and a fan. You will use the cotton swabs to apply the paint and the fan help dry the personalized CD quicker.

    • 4

      Place some paper towels down on the workspace area. This will keep the paint from getting on the desk. You may want to lay down a few towels to make sure the paint doesn't get on the desk.

    • 5

      Lay the CD down with the label side up on the towel, dip the cotton swabs in the paint and start to paint the non-playing side of the CD. You may need to apply more than one coat. Use the fan to dry the paint. You can also use felt-tipped markers to write on the CD once it is dry. Be absolutely sure not to get paint on the play side of the CD.

      Let the paint and writing dry completely overnight.

    What do you do with the stain? In #2 you state that we need both stain and paint, but I don't see a reference to the stain later. Can we use either the stain or the paint?
