In the age of high technology, CDs are a must-have attribute of any home. They store a variety of information: from banal texts, films to memorable videos and photographs. And of course, a disc with photographs or videos from a memorable event is stored carefully, in exceptional packaging. And if you are also interested in photography, then you just need to learn how to make packaging yourself. There are a lot of different products offered on the Internet and, of course, you will be offered whatever you want to order. But you may not be satisfied with the price, because handmade work is not cheap. So, let's get started with our envelope.

For the envelope we need:
• thick paper
• designer paper
• corner ruler long
• scissors
• pencil
• crochet hook
• glue moment crystal
• double stationery tape
• satin ribbon 2.5 cm and 1 cm wide.

First you need to purchase thick paper 200gsm. It is dense enough to hold its shape, but it can be easily bent, cut, and glued. You can purchase such paper at any art store or order it online. It comes in different sizes from A4 to A1. It is still more profitable to take the A1 format. There can be any color.We chose white with leather texture.
Using a pencil and a ruler, mark a piece of paper 30cm long with marks 1*13*13*3cm and 15cm wide with marks 1*13*1cm. Next, we draw the crochet along the fold lines so that they bend evenly. And cut off unnecessary parts. They are shaded in the photo.

After the paper has been folded, glue double-sided tape to 3 sides. Keep in mind that the tape must be glued on the short side from the back side, and on the long sides from the front side.

Remove the tape, add a few drops of glue and press. Make sure that there is not too much glue, otherwise it will need to be removed. The good thing about instant crystal glue is that after drying it forms a rubber film that can be easily removed from the paper. For strength, you can put the envelope under the press.

While our envelope is being glued, we prepare the front side. Take a piece of designer paper 13*8cm. You can buy it again in the store, or you can make it yourself using a color laser printer and high-quality white paper. Just choose a design, set the printer to the best print value and you will have exclusive paper. On the front side we glue 2 rows of double-sided tape 1.25 cm wide.

We attach a satin ribbon to the tape, and strengthen the ends on the wrong side.

Next, we cover the perimeter with tape on the wrong side and drip a little glue again for strength. Keep in mind that double tape sets immediately, so if you place the part crookedly the first time, it will be difficult to tear it off.

All that remains is to decorate the title side with the label. In this case, we have an envelope for wedding photos. The label is also printed on a printer.

All that remains is to make a tie on the back of the envelope.Take a piece of thin satin ribbon 1cm wide and 25cm long. Apply glue to a label with the name of the photographer or just a beautiful strip of paper. We will use it to cover the ends of the tape.

And in the top cover we mark in the middle and dig a hole. If you have a hole punch, use it. If not, you can use nail scissors to make an acceptable hole.
