video tapes
 
Does anyone know what i can do with some old video tapes. Noone wants them seems a shame to throw them out. Regards

tapes
 
you could maybe tie them to your belt buckle and use them as a batman style abseiling tool using the tape to suspend you as you glide gracefully down the side of a sky scraper, let me know if this works as I've always fancied a home made bat belt!. Failing that if theres anything on the tapes worth keeping there are places that'll remaster and stick it onto dvd for you not sure of the cost but its great for stuff like old wedding vids and such

hope this helps

I've seen them used in crafts a lot - people have pulled the tape out and crocheted or knit things with it, wallets and the like. I've also seen the tape used as ribbon for gift wrapping - you can make those little star bow things for pressies.

Also, someone used the outer casing as the covers for a journal style book and had pages in between, looked pretty cool :)

or failing the batman stunt... you can use them in your garden, unwind them an tie above your veg etc, they will keep birds off.

i used the exorcist, worked wonders and kept nosey neighbours away too!!
