How to Make a CD Booklet
If you've lost a CD booklet out of a jewel case or want to design cover art for CDs you make yourself, there are two processes to do it. You can either make a CD booklet by hand or with the aid of a computer program like Microsoft Word or CorelDRAW. Either way, replacing a lost booklet or creating a custom CD cover uses materials you probably already have around your house or office.
