Ages school-age
This lightweight, easy-on, easy-off tube lets kids safely carry keys, candy, sunglasses, a treasure map — any small essentials.
What you'll need
- Clean snack can with a plastic lid (we used a Pringles Light can, which is shorter than a regular Pringles can)
- Con-Tact paper
- Craft knife
- 2 (14-inch) lengths of hook-and-loop wrap (we used Velcro One-Wrap)
- Paper fastener
- Duct tape
How to make it
Cover the outside of the can with Con-Tact paper.
For the straps, use a craft knife to cut small slits in the center of the two pieces of hook-and-loop wrap and in the can where shown.
Insert a paper fastener through each strap and into the can, then open the arms and secure them inside the can with duct tape. Wrap the straps around the handlebars.
