Repurpose and Reuse VHS Cases

Consider repurposing a container before sending it to the trash.

Do you recognize what these are from the picture?  Remember VHS tapes?  These are the plastic cases many VHS tapes came in.  Now that technology is shifting away from VHS tapes, what to do with all those cases?  Well, how about use them for craft supplies?  The cases in the photo are holding buttons, but they would also be good for holding beadsrocks, or small projects.

I can also envision these cases making great project displays for children.  Kind of like a mini diorama.  Great for transporting, too, with the lid that can snap shut.

If you are ready to pass along your VHS tapes, consider if the case is worth saving and being reused.
