Well People! It looks like DVD's Are The Next Greatest Thing, so what do we do with our old broken Video Cassettes now?

One thing if you got the patience most videos can be either fixed or the tapes transfered to other unwanted videos. It takes patience and steady hands.

Other ideas?

1. You have at least 1 winder wheel which can be used for storing strings ribbons wires or whatever can be wound up

2. The hard plastic of the cassette itself can be used as a support either flat or standing as the underpart of displays like on a Chistmas or holiday display.

3. The video taken apart you can find assorted parts which creative people might be able to use in other projects. The screws that hold the Cassette together might be used in other small type construction.

4. The box the Cassette came with maybe a small gift box

5. A wall note pad and pencil or pen keeper.

6. The heavy Plastic Video cases could store anything from office supplies to a pretend purse and make up case for your children

7. These cases are about the size if some paperback books.

8. My last idea The cassette itself. It would be a neat place to hide money or valuables. Who would even want to look through 20 or more Video's when they broke into your home?

I hope others have more ideas, because I have got a lot of Videos.

Thank You,
Mr. Thrifty

I myself had hundreds of old video tapes. In the past couple of years I have sold 90% of them on half.com, which is a division of ebay. The extra income from those movies(which would probably have been donated or discarded), have allowed me to replace many of those movies with DVD's for my family.

You can also use old video and audio cassette tapes in making giftbaskets: pull out the tape itself and rumple it up a bit. Use it as easter-grass type filler for the bottom of a gift basket. This is great if you are doing a movie theme basket. Use the old tape for the grass, then include a new movie (on sale of course!) and some microwave popcorn, some candy or munchies, fuzzy slippers, tea, etc.
