How to Make a Wii Sports DVD Case

Open your newly purchased Nintendo Wii and you will find that Wii Sports came as a free bonus. You can play the game immediately after hooking up your Wii. As your game collection grows, one downside of Wii Sports becomes apparent; it came in a cardboard sleeve and not a standard game case. Using an old DVD or video game case, you can print out your own artwork and create a homemade Wii Sports DVD case to place the game alongside your other Wii titles.

Things You'll Need

White printer paper
Printer
Scissors
Old DVD or game case

Instructions

- 1
  Collect digital artwork of "Wii Sports" for use as the DVD case's art. Find screenshots of the game from gaming websites such as IGN, 1Up and GameSpot. Save the images onto your computer's desktop.
- 2
  Launch an image editing program such as MS Paint on PC or Paintbrush on Mac. Start a new file and choose the measurements for the file as 7.25 inches tall and 10.75 inches long. This is the size of the artwork for a DVD case.
- 3
  Draw a vertical line down the work space 5.125 inches from left side. Draw another vertical line down 1/2 inch to the right of the first line. This middle section will be located on the spine of the DVD case when inserted.
- 4
  Paste the digital artwork you saved into both sides of the file. The left side will be the back of the DVD case and the right side will be the front. Use a mix of images depicting the events of Wii Sports, such as baseball, bowling, boxing, tennis and golf.
- 5
  Add a text box on the right side of the screen and enter "Wii Sports" into it. You can position the title anywhere you would like within the box.
- 6
  Add a text box in the middle box and type "Wii Sports." Rotate the box clockwise 90 degrees so the top of the words face right and the bottom face left. Resize the text so it remains within the center box. This arrangement will keep your homemade DVD case in sync with the rest of your Wii game cases.
- 7
  Print out the image onto white paper. You may need to set your printer to landscape mode to ensure the image is all on one sheet.
- 8
  Cut any excess paper off of the case art. Slip the art into the old DVD case and place the Wii Sports disc within.
