Jun 3 2009Retro Styling: Cassette Tape Wallets
These cassette tape wallets from designbloom are wallets made out of old cassette tapes. Pretty clever, but they cost $43. So if you've ever wanted to try making something yourself, now's your chance. Just make me one. With a Def Leppard tape. Bitchin'? BITCHIN'!

Eddie Money would have been more appropriate. That's it! I'm making mine with a "Two Tickets to Paradise" single. Genius = GFS.

I wonder why they used Italian cassettes. With dollars in them.
Nevermind, I'll stick to booms & boobs for another while.

I guess this is what happens when I can't drink for 3 weeks. The brain cells start working again. Don't worry, the antibiotics run out today. I'll be back to my old booze soaked self by Friday.
16. Timbo - June 3, 2009 11:59 AM
I'm gonna make a CD wallet...yeah....
17. naas - June 3, 2009 12:02 PM
Great to hear Shum, except the no drinking for 3 weeks part - that's weaksauce.
So it'll be Gordon Shitfaced Shumway(?) by this weekend then, looking forward to that

I was wondering what they'll make from CD's when they become obsolete......
Earings? Belt buckles? Rear-view mirrors?
I bet ninjas make them throwing stars.......

More like Gordon Goddamn This Horrible "Fücking" Hangover, I Really Hope It Was Worth It Shumway. BTW. It's always worth it.

When I was a teenager throwing out boxes and boxes of old cassette tapes I never in a million years thought, "by 2009 I'll bet I could get 2 ghosts in a bottle for each one of these."

A weird way of using old cassette technology but will ultimately end in a big fat F A I L !!!!!
