Step 1
Find an old mixtape or cassette.
Step 2
Grab your sharpies & color a design onto one or both sides (if you color both sides differently, it's like you have two necklaces).
Step 3
Cut two lengths of black ribbon as long or short as you'd like. The longer the ribbon, the lower the necklace will hang. I cut mine at about 8 inches each.
Step 4
Glue the ribbon to the left or right side of the cassette.
Step 5
Thread the end of the ribbon through a jump ring, and glue or tie it closed.
Step 6
Take the other ribbon and thread the end through a jewelery clasp, and glue or tie it closed.
Step 7
Hook the clasp through the jump ring, and your creation is ready to wear!

ha! i love this. if i make one, i'm just tying the ribbon through one of the holes--then it's double the fun, you can wear it and it's still playable. :]

thats really cool

Far better than paying for them!
I did a lazy version with my dictaphone tapes a while ago, where i just thread a chain/ribbon through the two holes in the tape. I love them.. but your way looks awesome.
