Cassette Wallets

as some of you may know i gave a bunch of cassette wallets as christmas presents for my cousins. i managed to make a few more with another slew on the way and am selling them here: frugalartist.etsy.com
a store in Barcelona is interested in buying them :) if i do decide to sell them there it would be for the mere fact to say "i sell my work in Barcelona". so i'll ponder it and see if i can squeeze in extra time to make these suckers.

i did say i would post a step by step tutorial on how to make these wallets but it was just to hard to explain. i did however find this site that has a similar set of instructions here

creative christmas

this year was all about conservation and creativity. i have 7 close cousins and a budget so i took to the internet for ideas for handmade gifts. i came across designer marcella foschi at design boom who took cassette tapes and revamped them into wallets. so of course me and my thrifty self knocked the idea. i did make a couple modifications such as bigger zippers and mismatched zipper heads. and since i personalized them i looked for cassette tapes specific for each cousin. i'll post a step by step this sunday. aren't they delicious?

i used different coloured zipper heads


this was for my lovely cousin Jeigh who appreciates the meaning of 'Flash Dance'

this was such a perfect find for my man 'Sexy Eyes' and only for you Boo Boo :)
