As I wrote in an earlier blog post, a lot of our customers drop their VCRs and VHS tapes in favor of recording and searching TV with a SnapStream Server. So we end up seeing a lot of VCRs and VHS cassettes tapes. A whole lot. (Here are some photographs if you don’t believe me.)
If any of our customers were worried about what they were going to do with those VCRs and VHS cassette decks, this should give them some ideas:
- They could create a VHS plush pillow / doll
- Pluck the buttons off that VCR and make ”Play” “Pause” “Rec” VCR buttons (magnetic or pin) (sold out, sorry!)
- Recycle all that VHS magnetic tape to make: drink coasters, clutch purse, or a tote bag
