How do you decorate your apartment walls when your landlord doesn’t let you paint, nail into, or otherwise modify them? Erika from Erikaceous used fishing line to hang vending machine toy capsules (“gashapon capsules” to be precise) from the molding. It’s a fun piece of decor that will help ensure you get your deposit back. [via Recyclart]

This is straight out of the early days of Trading Spaces, except that Hildi would have hot glued them to the wall. :)
Aside from working at a manufacturing plant where these capsules are made or collecting them from every machine you pass over the course of a year, where could one GET all of these?
Cool idea though! Very colorful!
We found several giant boxes filled with these capsules at a local recycling/reuse center. I often wonder where they originally came from!

Damn… I used to have hundreds (well, dozens) of these. My kids hated to throw them out so we chucked them in a box… and then, don’t tell the children, but we threw the box! What a great way to use them!

I think it looks great, and is very clever. I would worry a bit about what would happen in a fire, though. Maybe filling every third one with baking soda would provide enough fire suppression :)
It’s fantastic to see my very own living room on MAKE! Thanks for the post, and so glad you enjoyed the project.

As technology changed and civilization progressed, toys also changed.
Whereas ancient toys were made from materials found in nature like stone, wood, and grass modern toys are often made from plastic, cloth,
and synthetic materials. Ancient toys were often made by the parents
and family of the children who used them, or by the children themselves.
Modern toys, in contrast, are often mass-produced and sold in stores
