How to Recycle an old Bicycle into a Christmas Reindeer

Step 2 Remove the crank arms

Remove both the crank arms, or at least the one with the chain ring attached so that the frame can sit level on the bottom bracket. If you keep the crank in place you can keep the other crank arm on if you tie it off to the frame. If you don't have a crank arm puller, you can get a bike shop to pull the one with the chain ring off for a small charge.
