I'm using "dead" (unplayable) videotapes (good prerecorded ones go to Goodwill to resell), and so far have just tried braiding the tape to make supports for my garden climbers (in place of twine). The trellis looks good and shimmers in the breeze -- which may also help keep birds away from the crops. I have to give Tom Hanks in CAST AWAY credit for the idea to braid VHS tape, until I'm ready to try using it for crochet. Thanks for the recycling inspiration.

I rather enjoy watching old movies on tape, on my old tube tv set, and if anyone here has old vhs tapes, of good movies like "the hunt for red october", please think of selling it on amazon. Please make yarn out of Barney the dinosaur tapes, (LOL) Plastic grocery bag yarn makes great baskets. I love to make yarn out of stuff, but my other hobby is vcr electronics.
