Turn your old VHS tapes into a table lamp

We’re well and truly past the end of the VHS era, but it’s possible you’ve still got a few of those bulky tapes lying around.

One solution (after you’ve turned your video player into a toaster) is to create a table lamp or two.

Made from seven VHS tapes, it has to be used with CFL bulbs so that it doesn’t overheat.

I suppose if you get bored and still have a player, you could prise these lamps apart and try playing one of the tapes.

Alternative Use: Convert Your VHS in a Toaster

This seems a perfect recycling alternative to combat that credit crunch we are going through. Recycling with flavour.

I bet you all still have a VHS Recorder lying around somewhere but who needs those nowadays anyway? Why not convert it in to a toaster?!
