In this episode I recycle the parts from Bargain Store Project #2 to make a Flipper Paddle Boat.

Remember, these bargain stores also sell plenty of toys for £1 or less so the project is not about making a cheap toy. It is about taking something and 'hacking' or 'repurposing' it to do something other than what it was designed to do. I am using bargain store products to limit my initial outlay.
The main components are:
Oscillating Toothbrush
Polystrene Pizza trays
Ball pen tube.
Barbecue skewer or flower cane
Paperclips
Plastic packaging
Tools

Hot Glue Gun
Hobby knife

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
