Turn a VHS Case into a Picture Frame with a Hidden Storage Compartment

 

Turn a VHS Case into a Picture Frame with a Hidden Storage Compartment vhsframe mini

Always looking to upcycle her old things, entrepreneur Heidi Lehto came up with the idea of turning VHS cassette cases into 3D picture frames that have a secret storage compartment. She drilled the case into the wall using a couple of screws, and uses it as an easy-to-access business card holder.

    I think it’s a wonderful idea – money saving and unique too. I would have painted the case a different colour though.

    Good place to keep your stash.

    If ever I feel the need to store a few business cards in a old VHS case stuck to the wall, I’ll give it a go. Because thats just where I like to put my card in a picture frame, then on the floor when I have to pick them up after the case springs open whilst trying to carefully pry the edge open.

    I think it’s a great idea… but instead of using it as a biz card holder, I’d put other pictures in it related to the one on display. Now it’s not just a photo in a frame but an “album” in a frame.

    Yeah I think I just made this idea better :)

    I thought you meant the typo about “using a couple screws” in stead of “using a couple of screws”   :o)

    Recycling is the name of the game Dnguyen. We should be doing lots more of it. This stuff is hard to paint effectively. Put a [iece of co;oured backing paper cut to size. Much more effective
