This kit shows you how to recycle a bicycle innertube into a functional wallet. Follow along easily with video tutorial on the BICAS Tucson Youtube! Proceeds from kit sales go directly to the BICAS Art Program! Shipping or local pickup available!
Kits include:
- One-of-a-kind instruction sheet created by the BICAS Staff
- Innertube; 12in long piece (must be wide enough when cut flat to fit a credit card; beware when using a thorn resistant tube as they can’t typically fold more than four times)
-Needle (large eye, blunt needle works best and is safer for children but regular needle will work)
- Thread; 6ft (embroidery or sewing thread should work as long as it fits needle and is strong enough to hold rubber)
You will also need:
- Ballpoint pen (or anything that can mark an innertube)
- Ruler
- Scissors
BICAS is a worker-directed nonprofit, and every art purchase you make not only supports our mission but is an investment in our BICAS art program. Between salvaging bike parts for art, our community workshops, and so much more, your purchase empowers our mission to wield the transformative power of creativity in service to the vibrant Tucson community.
By supporting our art program, you help us to create accessible opportunities for self-expression, foster meaningful community connections, and inspire personal wellbeing. The reach of your purchase extends so much further than a transaction for a BICAS shirt, art or jewelry our local artists — it is a contribution to a cause that enhances the lives of Tucson residents through art!
