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!

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 :]

ah, that is so brilliant! I have a bunch of old cassette tapes of my fave bands, but i never listen to them because they're so obsolete. I could totally create some awesome notebooks with that. Cheers! :]
