Who these days still listens to cassette tapes? Probably no one, but hey, if 8-tracks and LP’s could make a Retro comeback, why not these! I still have a dozen Maxell cassette tapes in their wrapper if they should become a collectible, lol. And a cassette tape recorder in working order. Well, the quality just isn’t like digital is, but neither are 8-tracks or LP’s. Maybe they just take us back to the good old days.
Anyway, I stored my polymer clay on a shelf but thought it wasn’t such a good idea in the winter since I have the heat on a lot and heat rises…so when hubby asked me if I wanted 4 old cassette tape drawers I immediately thought of clay storage. They have convenient slots, but the problem was when I opened the drawer, the weight of the blocks would knock themselves over and off the back of the drawers which made it impossible to close again. So I cut some cardboard from a cereal box (Cornflakes anyone?) and made backs for the drawers. Now they work. I have plenty more clay refills in a bigger box stored in a cool dark place, but for a quick fix I have these drawers. I just labelled them so I know where to find which colour. My printer sits on one and open blocks of clay are in a decorative tin.
Here is my photo studio. I accidentally deleted a photography how to from 5 years ago…oops. But here is a simple way to photograph your items…with a frosted tote bin. I lined it with white poster board, but use other decorative papers (and some of my water colours) as backdrops. My desk lights are long daylight tubes, so I don’t need any other lighting.

...love those ideas Tina!!! I always try to reuse what I have and I have some storage for floppy discs....! I have to check out if I can use them for some more studio storage, too...;-))
Thank you for the idea!
thanks Tina. Wow, how clever!! Love your storage and the photo set up.
The cassette drawer idea sounds like a super idea, especially adding the cornflakes box to the back. I've already recycled mine , but I've seen some recently at the thrift store, so I'll have to see if I can locate some. Love the idea of your frosted bin photography box, too. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas!
Cool ideas, Tina! Thank you for sharing them!
clever! I will be giving away a photography dome from Cloud Dome on my Jewel School page -- it so similar to yours, and made of white plastic -- only the photo dome is $200 retail! you are brilliant, Tina :)
