LED Throwie - Instant Messanger Tube

Step 3 Make the Instant Messanger Tube

Here is where the magic happens. Grab a sheet of the Transparency Film and roll it into a tube. I would give it a diameter of 2-3 inches. Use a couple strips of tape to secure the tube. Next grab your sheet of paper with your message and roll it into a tube as well, but just a little smaller than the first. Be sure to roll your paper tube in such a fashion that your message is visible. Now slide the paper (message) tube into the transparency tube till both ends are flush. You now have your Instant Messenger Tube.

Yea that sounds like a simpler/cheaper way

Maybe instead of a sheet of plastic one could recycle a plastic bottle?

That sounds like a much cheaper way! Just cut the ends off a plastic bottle... of course, it needs to be one that has a paper or plastic wrapper on the outside that can be removed, otherwise your message will be obfuscated by the printing on the bottle.

actualy, why cut the ends off... just need one end to feed the message into... and depending on the size of the battery, it may fit into the smaller hole on the side. Perhaps just glue the magnet to the outside instead... I like this idea... just make sure you rinse out the bottle, and wait for it to dry... nobody likes a wet message!
