Cassette Case Notebook

Cassettes are almost useless these days, so turn the cases in to helpful little notebooks.

Add to Favorites Add Your Version

Use the cassette case to measure out how wide and how long the sheets of paper will need to be.
Cut the pages out and create 5 signatures containing 4 pages each.
Cut off the strip on the right hand side of the cassette case.
Mark out 4 equally spaced marks on the strip, use this to mark the points on the middle strip of the cassette case.
Take waxed thread or dental floss and stitch in the signatures using the book binding technique.
Glue a strip of ribbon along the spine.
Wrap a length of elastic or thread with a bead on so that you can close the notebook and keep it secure.

I loved Aqua and now I'm passed the years of being too embarrassed to admit it. And thank you for sending me stuff, I can't wait. x

Ace! I love the Aqua one. I haven't got any cardboard cassette cases, so I'll have to raid the charity shops tomorrow! Also, I'm going to send you some crafty bits and pieces next week!

What an awsome idea where do you get these ingenious ideas! They would make scrumptious craft fair sellers, may I ?

This is such a great project. We have soooo many cassettes at home, some of which I'm sure me and my bf won't mind parting with!

What a fantastic recycling idea! Love it!

This is a fab recycling idea!
I was going to do it with a cassette case but i couldnt find any around our house,but by coinsodence i had a small mini pack of cereal that morning so i just used that instead,the only difference was that the book had lots of pages as the box was quick wide.Still worked just as well though :]
