DIY Bike Tubes

We got this great idea from Family Fun Magazine to make your own Bike Tubes or in our case Scooter Tubes.  They can store a bottle water, toys, watch, or cell phone.


The supplies needed for your tube:
  • Empty Pringles Can
  • Duct Tape (Family Fun suggested Contact Paper)
  • 2 - 14" Velcro Straps
  • 2 Paper Fasteners
1. Wrap the Pringles can with your Duct Tape or Contact Paper.
2. Cut the Velcro Strips into 14" strips 
3. Cut with an exact-o knife a small slit in each Velcro strip and put the paper fastener through the hole.  
4. Cut two small slits into the Pringles can about 2" from the ends of the can.
5. Then you are ready to attach to your bike or scooter!!!
