This week’s craft blog link of the week just so happens to coincide with a conversation I had with someone a few days ago about something I secretly love: cassette tapes. I love the way they sound, caught somewhere in the middle of the pop and crackle of records and the digital clarity of CDs. I love the click of the button as I hit play on my Sony tape player. I love the whirring noise of rewind and fast-forward. I have a box full of them, which I have dutifully carted from dorms to apartments to houses since going off to college many years ago. I even drove a car until 2006 with a tape player in it. And if I hadn’t been so concerned with the likelihood of it spontaneously combusting (the car not the tape player), this girl would probably still be cruising around town listening to her tapes.
Obviously, it was a pleasant surprise when I came across this little craft project:
My tapes are strictly for listening. I couldn’t possibly risk ruining a single one of them. They are my musical memories, after all. However, I would imagine there are quite a few of you who might be ready to let go of their not-so-beloved cassettes. This would be a nifty way to repurpose them. I’m thinking that when I finally get around to throwing an 80s prom party this would make a too cute decoration.
