Italian graphic designer Marcella Foschi gets the Genius Recycling Award for her cassette wallets.

Figuring there must be some way to rescue the piles and piles of discarded cassettes she saw at thrift stores, Foschi turned them into these fantastically retro, candy-colored change purses.

The best part? You pick your purse by color -- the music (lots of Europop here) is a surprise.
