Bicycle Bottle Fender Mount

http://www.shapeways.com/model/847987/bicycle-bottle-fender-mount.html?li=category-diy-headerimg


A while ago, I saw a guy clamping an old plastic bottle between the seat stays of his bike, to use it as a fender. It doesn't look very stable but it was a great idea anyway! 

This 3d printed mount works with most plastic bottles, like Coke, Evian ect. You can just clip it on your bike - no glue or screws needed! 
I've used a bottle which I've cut before. Technical, there is no need to halve it but it looks better this way and it's done easily. 

This bottle-fender-mount works nice on old steel bike racing frames. The diameter of the tube should be about 29 mm (1.14 inch). Please check the pictures above to see if it's comparable to your bike. 

Carton Wallet Upcycle

http://spoonful.com/crafts/carton-wallet

Total Time 1 hourAges school-age

Recycle a milk or orange juice carton into a clever carrying case for change, trading cards, and more. The carton's cap keeps the wallet closed.

What you'll need

• Half gallon milk or juice carton with plastic cap, rinsed
• Scissors
• Paper towels
• Tape
• Wallet Template
• Ballpoint pen
• Ruler
• Craft knife (optional)
• Butter knife

How to make it

1. Cut open the carton so it lies flat, as shown; put aside the cap for now. Dry the inside with the paper towels. Tape the template on top of the carton so that the top circle lines up with the spout. Mark the outline of the template with a ballpoint pen. Using firm pressure, trace the lower circle and the dotted lines of the template so that they transfer to the carton. (This will score the lines for easier folding.) A ruler will help you mark the straight lines. Cut out the shape from the carton.
2. 
   Use scissors to cut out the lower circle as marked. (Tip: To make cutting out the circle easier, first make an X with a craft knife.) Use a ruler and a butter knife to further score the fold lines.
3. 
   Following the fold lines you marked, create an accordion fold on each side of the wallet.
4. 
   Tightly squeeze the accordion folds. Fold the top flap down, pushing the spout through the hole. Screw on the cap to keep the flap in place.
