Shopping for commercially produced CD racks or holders at a store can end up being very expensive and time-consuming. Knowing exactly what you type of holder you want, it can be much easier --- and cheaper --- to create one yourself to match your own personal tastes.
Cloth
You can construct your own person CD holder out of almost any type of material. One way would be to use cloth to create pockets to hold your CDs. You can create as many pockets as you'd like, depending on the number of CDs you want it to hold. The pockets can be attached to one another and backed with padding or cardboard to give the holder support. You can even use a different fabric for each pocket to give your holder personality. While this project can be inexpensive, it can be difficult if you don't know sew.
Paper
While not as durable or attractive as using cloth, probably the cheapest --- and the easiest --- method to making your own homemade CD holder would be to use nothing but a sheet of paper. In an origami-like fashion, you can fold any type of paper into a pocket to fit one, or multiple, CDs. You can even spruce up the plain-looking pocket by adding a design or a photo to the front.
Plastic
Another method to creating a homemade CD holder would include store-bought or recycled plastic CD cases. Be sure to buy the square-shaped cases that are extremely thin --- the ones that barely exceed the thickness of an actual CD. Using a drill, you can bore holes through any number of cases and attach them together by threading string through the holes. The final product is a book-like holder in which you can flip through the "pages" to find the CD you're looking for.
