This is a very cool idea for old cassette tapes. My dad has some really old classic tapes. So, I went ahead and modified the instructions a little bit. Instead, of drilling into the actual cassette tape, I made my buckle out of the clear cassette case. By doing that, I can change the cassette tape inside the case to whatever I want depending on my mode or my attire that day. Thanks for the great tip and idea.
