Retired Belts

Recycled 'green' product of the day: Retired Belts, made out of skidded-out Vittoria Randonneurs by Dylan Bigby.
"As you can imagine, the tires go much quicker when you must rely on them as brakes. So in an attempt to offset the guilt I felt for burning through tires twice a month, I started thinking of ways I could reuse them. I had seen tire phone holsters at bike shops. But I wanted to make something that could be worn by almost anyone that served a useful purpose and had style. The most obvious thing that came to mind, given the shape of tires, was a belt. Given the nature of using repurposed materials, I wanted to use as little virgin materials as possible. So, after a few prototypes and mistakes, I have found the right process. I hand make all the belts individually from tires ridden in San Francisco."

Recycle Your Old Wheel & Make Your Lady Very Happy: Build Her A 'Himmeli'
Well, look here and follow the simple guide to build a Himmeli. You'll get a fun new thing to hang off the ceiling and in the best case your better half will love it and your new-found interest in making your pad a tad bit nicer place to live in.
(I'm sorry I don't know what Himmeli is called in english and right now I'm too lazy to look up the word from dictionary.)
