So what am I doing? It's 6pm, I'm going to make and document how long it takes me to make a better one.
I took a magazine (actually it's a offer to buy stocks for Potash from BHPbillition for $130 when they're worth $148, LOL WUT?), and some scissors. CD cases to judge size.
I took a CD case to see how high the flaps should be. I need to bind this like a thicker book would be, so we're going to end up using the first few centimetres of the already-bound pages to space it out. Just put a CD on it so it aligns with the open-side of the magazine, and crease into it where it is. Trim off the extra length on the top of the magazine (the CD case should have about a bit of space on both sides)
6:07pm (Junky scissors caused shredded paper everywhere).
Folded pages inward like they do with big bound textbooks (grab a few pages, fold the previous crease in to the centre, grab some more, keep going...)
6:12pm.
It needs to be bound together at the bottom... found me some paper-clips, going to cut some holes through it... corkscrew anyone?
6:19 pm,
This is taking longer than I thought, maybe I should have found a hole-punch rather than just a knife.
Just have to fold each flap in so the CDs stay in.
6:27, there's a lot of page in this...
Started folding multiple pages then separating.
6:30. Almost done....
6:32: I should have just put a ribbon around the thing's outside walls and cut it smaller... Oh well, only 20 more pages.
6:37. Done. Going to put CDs in it and take a picture later when I get it into my car.
Total cost: I cut up a booklet sent to me by people trying to talk me out of $20 a share.
Alternate solution:
A few sheets of paper, fold it back and forth like a Chinese fan, cut CD-sized holes along every downward fold, put CDs in holes and you're done. Probably only going to take 5 minutes, just fold back and forth, then snip a curve across the lower side. Probably want to use a card-stock?
Less fun solution: Goto the store and buy one of those folders with separators, cut to size for console.
