Box upcycling CD cases

Stackable storage box made from old CD cases. First, two used CD cases are opened and adhesive is applied to all corners to form a cube. This fragile cube is then placed on the printed piece and secured in place, ensuring proper orientation and a perfect fit.

Once the adhesive has dried, cuts are made at the base with an awl to ensure each box fits perfectly into the one below. To fully understand this explanation and assemble the pieces correctly, you should refer to the images provided in the order described here. Three used CD cases are needed for each box of this design, leaving one extra piece still useful - but for a different project that I haven't published yet, enjoy...
