Absolutely not serious, but very simple and cute hack.
Domestic production of jewelry, from parts of old equipment.
For the manufacture of this bracelet, it took eight VCRs. 16 video heads (8 blocks of video heads) formed the basis for this accessory.

I know I am a little bit late in the game, but how did you make the clasp? It is fairly ingenious.

Hi Gogglerman. It's always a pleasure to follow your creations. It's ok not to make a step-by-step instruction. It's not a goal in its self to make a lots of copies, but to let people find their own way to the goal. Maybe to impove the work.

Ah, Gogglerman! As usual, a perfectly elegant solution to something others would consider trash! I LOVE the clasp! I may have to use that idea myself! Happy holidays to you, sir!

Thank you. My clasp you can use absolutely freely. Waiting for the result :)
...I'm sorry. What kind of holiday do you mean?

LOL! Well, here in the US we are rapidly approaching Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza. Whichever holiday you celebrate, I hope you have a happy one!

You forgot the one that is actually oldest: Yule.
Some of us here in the US still celebrate it.

Your are right, AbstractDragon! Thank you for letting me know. I looked it up and found some examples of cards sent in the early 1900's in Scandinavia. Now were you talking about this reference or more the celebration of Winter Solstice, which I would think of as a more pagan ritual?

Any old recycle/rehab centre should be able to supply you with stuff like this...

Try to contact the repair shop of electronic devices. Debris, like the old VCR, there are many. Good luck in all your affairs.
