Evening Bag Crocheted with VHS Tape

[RecycleCindy]

Had to show and tell my evening bag that I crocheted using recycled VHS tape. If you are interested I posted the details on my website blog so others could give it a try. It really turned out to be a fun project!

My coworker is going through her old vhs' and some she's thinking of throwing away the ones that are just tv shows or old movies... I have to tell her to save them for me now. That actually looks very elegent. You did a great job.

[BonnieCrochets]

I like that a lot!!

[missamorphosis]

That's interesting!

[Terri/LadySorce]

Very interesting!!

I must have at least 50 VHS tapes laying around here. Nice way to use them up again.

[lilpug]

who woulda thunk it?

[crochetgirl2]

Now my mind is thinking up ideas to use the VHS tape w/all sorts of other yarns/threads, etc.!! I can see it combined w/1-2+ strands of #10 thread, beads, sport yarn, fake fur & all other novelty yarns, etc., etc., etc..

Wish I had the time to give some a try - what a great idea!

....just when I thought I had seen everything!:clap

Anyone know if cassete tapes would work too?

we have so many lying around that have not been used for YEARS

[Burgandy]

Very cool looking! Does it make a crinkling sound?

[thebratfink]

I would think cassette tapes would work, too. Just a different 'gauge'.

 

How does it wear?

[Ladycrochat]

That turned out great! I also have tons of old tapes around here.....now I have something to do with them......How many hours of tape went into that bag?

[Shell]
