A motor bike from bottle caps

Do you like my little bike? It’s just two bottle caps twisted together in some way to make a motor-bike look-alike. The bottle tops are from an Australian brand of beer. It's Emu beer and popular in our country. We have a huge choice of beers which includes local boutique beers as well as brands from other countries. One day I’ll save two bottle caps and see if I can make one myself. Having said that, I’ll probably never actually get around to doing it. Are you like that? Think you’ll do something then not actually get around to it?

I love trying something new. If the first attempt didn't go well, then I can just give up and do it next time.

@JudyEv For some occasions, I also do the same thing.

I'm not sure I have much determination really. I'd probably give up and NOT try again.

That is a most creative bike. Nicely done. I have lots of projects in my mind perhaps one day they'll come out through my hands.

It can be hard to get around to doing these sorts of things sometimes.

That is really something! I wonder what your inspiration came from.

I didn't make it but I thought the person was pretty clever to puzzle it out.

I do like your little bike. It's so cute! If I think of doing something, then it most likely won't happen. If I voice it out loud, I feel accountable to doing it, so I do eventually get around to doing it.

@JudyEv Yesterday I said here that I wanted to get at my house chores. Today I told someone at the pool and at the store afterwards that I was going to get it done before I turned on my computer. That sort of happened. Because my knees are very bad at the moment, doing a lot at once is not an option. However, the only things I have left are the floors - washing and vacuuming. I've done very well today.

@just4him It can be dispiriting when you have to ration your time due to physical limitations.

I feel accountable if I make lists but otherwise I forget about stuff or get distracted.

It's taken me two minutes to find the 'pull out'. I read the text twice then eventually thought to look at the photo.

That looks really neat. I am not that good at doing some things all depends on what it is. I do have ideas and do try them out but not usually manual stuff.

@JudyEv I cannot crochet to save my life but I do like to see the things made and I am still trying to do that but knitting is my best or at least it was. Writing is the thing I was always good at really.

I'm not really into craft stuff either. I can crochet and used to do a lot but that's about it.

I don't have a creative streak in me at all. I am just an admirer of those art stuff but never a maker of them though. That one is a very creative one. The maker is really artistic and creative.

@JudyEv But at least when you copy some, there are twists which are of your own, so that's being creative also.

I can sometimes copy what others have done but I don't often come up with something creative of my own. I do crochet jumpers, etc and make up the pattern as I go so perhaps that counts as being creative.

It's looks simple enough but I have a feeling it might be a bit harder to make than it looks.

@JudyEv I have the same feeling, I have seen plenty of crafting ideas that looked simple, but they were harden than I tought.

I guess if we don't actually try our ideas, they'll always remain incredibly creative and clever.

The tin can be quite sharp. I tried to straighten the handle-bars but needed a pair of plyers.

I have all kinds of projects I'm going to do. Yea, sure....I saved toilet paper rolls for months to make this neat wall art thingy I saw on Pinterest. I tossed them all today. Now I am thinking I should have kept them to get a round to it.....someday....
