Now that we´ve entered the DVD era, most videos and casettes have become useless. VHS tape is a very strong material (though it wrinckles easy) so it is ideal for bags and other everyday use objetcs. It can be also weawed like any flat thread. The surface reflects light beautifully and it gives the object a spacy feeling. I have jeard that knitting VHS tape s not the easiest material to work with because it is a bit rough but I believe that every difficulty can be overcome with the right attitude. FazendoArte makes bags and jewellry by knitting old VHS tape. She also has her own blog.
