Comments (0) Best Reinvented Cassette Tapes - 2010

Kym Bixler's cassette wallet/iPod holders

Local DIYer Kym Bixler figured out a great way to tap into your musical nostalgia while leaping headlong into the future. She takes old broken cassette tapes from the '80s — Cyndi Lauper, the Police, the Thompson Twins, to name just a few — splits them open and sews a felt lining inside. Then she adds a zipper to seal it up, and presto: a retro case that perfectly fits most smaller iPods. Of course, they can also be used as wallets or business-card holders, but nothing says hip like earphones emerging from an old tape.

No question about it...Kym has always been on the icicle edge of cool, and hip too! Check her out on kymbix.etsy.com to see other unique items. I'm a long-time fan of her work.
