In this digital age where mp3s and to some extent CDs are the ultimate forms of music in the land, a cassette tape may seem out of the ordinary to have.
Not only is it heavier, more cumbersome to bring, and more difficult to play, it seemingly has no place in this age wherein a literal push of a button can give you access to thousands upon thousands of songs, something that even the most high quality cassette tapes can never give you.
So is this fact reason enough for you to dispose of all your cassette tapes just like that? Of course not! If you don't like listening to music the old fashioned way, you may like to save your old cassette tapes for the time that they become eventual collectors items.
However waiting for decades for an antique's market value to increase isn't always the best idea.
You can however do many other cool things with your old cassette tape such as the following cassette tape ideas: *Bag: For those more creative members of our society that want something really unique, artistic and stylish created from everything they recycle, the cassette tape bag may be the best answer to that.
Take the oldest cassette tapes and form them to outline the bag's shape and surface.
Join the tapes together, along with the rubber lining and other components of your bag's interior.
Voila! You are now a trendsetter.
*Bar Theme: For all those bar owners and enthusiasts out there, sticking a lot of old cassette tapes mural style on your walls is one of the best ways to give that retro vibe to your bar.
This nostalgic feel together with hiring some of the best bands in town will make your joint one of the most popular night spots in town.
*Sculpture: The hard plastic of the cassette tape can be used to form other items and even great looking works of art.
Melt the plastic and form amazing figure such as skeletons, action figures and even your very own image in sculpture.
