When you buy a spindle of CDs or DVDs, you usually have sleeves, envelopes, or folders for the burned disks, leaving you with those somewhat useless spindles. Unless you are a creative craftsperson, it's difficult to find a useful purpose for the bulky disk holders. After all, you only need so many buckets to hold your Sharpies.
