If there's something we don't need any more in this planet is trash. I hate throwing things away. Instead, I always try to find good uses for stuff I don't need anymore. So, here's something useful to do with your old VHS tapes: a lap table to hold your meals or your notebook while you're comfortably sitting on your sofa. :)

Signing UpStep 1: The material
To make the lap table, you'll need:
- Old VHS tapes (for the table I'm showing here, I used eight tapes)
- Packing tape
- Scissors
- Some strong glue
- Two thin flat aluminium bars (I could only find curved ones, so I had to make them flat by hammering them. Also, I live in Brazil, so I don't know if this item is easy to find in the US. You can think of alternatives to this, considering what's more available to you.)
For the decoration, you'll need:
- Pictures or posters or whatever you'd like to decorate your table
- Double face tape
- Transparent contact paper
