It comes with the territory. Repurposing. Upcycling. Reusing. Whatever you want to call it, creating something new from something old is just something makers love to do. Take note of these projects that highlight newfound potential in old-school technology.

VHS Pencil Box

Etsy is the mecca of creative handmade goods and this art box refashioned from popular tapes is no exception. There. Now you can feel a sense of purpose for hanging onto those old VHSs.

Keyboard Clutch

With the popularity of tablets and their on-screen keyboards, will keyboards as we know it disappear? Only time will tell, but at least we know we can turn the familiar buttons into clutches and hair clips.

Cassette Wallets

What happens when you remove that shiny tape from a cassette and insert a zipper pouch instead? You get a sweet retro walletfeaturing your favorite album.
