It's 1 Minute Finger Tip time again.

Can you beat the clock?

You'll need an A4 piece of coloured card, an A4 piece of lined paper and a pair of scissors.
Start the clock, and fold the first piece of card in half like this.
Then fold the lined paper in half, like this.
Place the folded card inside the folded lined paper.

Using the lines as a guide, cut along every two lines, so that you make evenly spaced slits in the card.

Stop the clock!
You've made a flatpack CD rack!

Finish off by opening out every other slit, like this.
Then fold one of the two sides in half, so that a crease is made in the slits.
Once it's opened out again, you can pop CDs in between the slits, like this!
Plus, here's an added tip. If you draw or paint a design on your coloured card first...
...when you finish, the design takes on a weird 3D effect!
To make some reinforcing corners for the CD Rack, take a square of paper or thin card and folding it in half twice, so that when it's opened out, you have a cross shape in the middle.
Cut along one of the fold lines into the centre point.
Pop a dab of stick glue in one corner...
Stick it to the back of the CD Rack to give extra strength to the structure.
