CD Cover How-to! - 10: 10. At the end of the CD slot cut, I made two very small vertical cuts to stop the slot from being torn to the edge by clumsy folk! Just make two very short (like 4mm) incisions at either end of the slot.

CD Cover How-to! - 11: 11. Glue time! Put plenty of glue all over the back of the panel into which you’ve put the CD slot.
