I have always loved listening to music and going to concerts, so I wanted a unique album to document going to see one of our favorite bands several times last year - that’s where the idea for these wooden cassette covers was born! I used the Cedar House collection by American Crafts to create the pages and fill the album with memories and this collection is a bit darker and moodier collection than I usually create with which is always a fun challenge! Plus this collection has several music motifs throughout which is absolutely perfect for documenting concerts. I have some pairs of WOODEN CASSETTE COVERS available in my shop HERE which includes access to the virtual class.
I designed the cassette tapes and then Jessica from Color Cast Designs cut them out from wood. They smell so good lol. Here is a quick flip through to see the album in action:

This wooden cassette mini album is 7x5", features 19 spreads, a 2 hour & 41 minute video tutorial, and fun techniques to document all things music! PLEASE NOTE: an electronic cutting machine is not required since there are templates for tracing and cutting the pages included in the download, however, a machine comes in very handy to create the shaped pages with or without the optional stitching holes.
Each pair of wooden cassette covers has its own unique grain direction and coloring making them stunning and special!
Here's a look through the spreads of going to see Rain City Drive in concert three times in 2024!
There are 3 sets of waterfall pages which is perfect for the 3 concerts. We actually just saw RCD again a few weeks ago so I need to add another set of pages!
I left the back blank to fully appreciate the wooden cassettes!
I don't think my kids even know what a cassette tape is lol. I can't remember the last time I even played one... maybe 1997? Crazy how far technology has come! Maybe next I'll make an iPod-shaped wooden cover? I got my 1st iPod in 2002 after going halvsies with my dad in exchange for me learning Morse Code for my Senior Project. Back then they were chunky devices and it cost a whopping $500! I actually still have it in my drawer. I wonder if it still works? Now everything is just digital downloads. Anyway, there's a little factoid about me for the day!
