  Step 1

  Use the cassette case to measure out how wide and how long the sheets of paper will need to be.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the pages out and create 5 signatures containing 4 pages each.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut off the strip on the right hand side of the cassette case.

• 

  Step 4

  Mark out 4 equally spaced marks on the strip, use this to mark the points on the middle strip of the cassette case.

• 

  Step 5

  Take waxed thread or dental floss and stitch in the signatures using the <a href="/projects/binding_books/">book binding technique</a>.

• 

  Step 6

  Glue a strip of ribbon along the spine.

• 

  Step 7

  Wrap a length of elastic or thread with a bead on so that you can close the notebook and keep it secure.

Awesome idea! You could try making a 'hard-wearing' case out of the plastic part of the cassette tape, perhaps ^^ Dunno, just an idea...

ah, that is so brilliant! I have a bunch of old cassette tapes of my fave bands, but i never listen to them because they're so obsolete. I could totally create some awesome notebooks with that. Cheers! :]

This is a fab recycling idea!
I was going to do it with a cassette case but i couldnt find any around our house,but by coinsodence i had a small mini pack of cereal that morning so i just used that instead,the only difference was that the book had lots of pages as the box was quick wide.Still worked just as well though :]
