turning flat inner tubes into well-rounded accessories
My original and still quite handy inner tube coin purse. It has a zipper closure with a chain link for a zipper pull. It makes a very unique and affordable gift for guys or gals.
This little rubber helper can hold your highlighters hostage till you need to let em loose to mark those textbooks. Sharpies can find a great home here too.
I put a patch on my coin purses and decided the longer coin purse/pencil pouch could use an extra pocket too. Plus, I love saying Patch Pocket Pencil Pouch. And of course you can always throw in a few coins if you need to.
It’s also great for make-up brushes and lip gloss. This silky smooth zipper top bag is made from a recycled bike inner tube and has a recycled chain link zipper pull. The patch pocket can keep your cards separate if you crave even more organization.
Like all my rubber bags, these feel great to the touch and each is unique. Some have embossed letters and numbers, some have printing on them, some have none. I punched a few holes in the patch pocket for added style points.
Size is approximately 7 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall. Makes a terrific and practical green gift for any pencil pusher in your life.

Congrats to Mary Ann and thanks for all your opinions! I’m working on the new purse with metal hardware so I should have them available online by Monday.
This is now my favorite inner tube bag. I use it to carry cash, biz cards, coins, and swim fins. My cell phone fits in it too!

OK, swim fins won’t fit. But I love this little bag. This one measures approximately 5 inches wide by 3 3/4 tall. It’s from a wider mountain bike tube. Most are not this tall. Here’s the back. Not as much going on on this side. But every tube is like a snowflake, unique and beautiful. Only tubes aren’t so melty.
