How Can I Glue An Audio Cassette Tape In A Photo Frame

I have an audio cassette I'd like to frame so I have been out and got a deep box frame that it fits nicely in to.  Gluing the case to the cardboard is easy but I am not sure about the cassette tape itself.

What is the best long lasting and secure way to stick the actual cassette tape to the cardboard so it wont fall off over time.

I dont think normal double-sided tape will do the job long-term so has anybody mounted an old retro cassette tape themselves, if so what adhesive(s) did you use?

Thanks.

  • Velcro strips?  Cassettes don’t weigh anything anyway…
  • Why not glue in 2 pins and hang it on those through the 2 holes. Then the cassette will be undamaged

  • @pleasedelete idea about the pins would probably be best if you want to save the tape. @badboi's idea for velcro strips ( or dots)  should be pretty secure but as the actual cassette will be narrower at the top than the bottom where the tape is you might want to level it off by attaching some sticky foam pads. Nice idea for a favourite music memory!

    I'd probably use tiny sewing pins though the centre holes, and a piece of polystyrene on the back, for them to stick into to rest the tape on.

    Or a couple of thick sticky pads (doubled up if necessary.

    Wooden push pins of the type used on pinboards, cassette could then hang from them.
