Step 7Making the Wheel Holder

Making the Wheel Holder
This is simply a rubber wheel holder, but it's only a bit more complex part to build than the paperclip ring from the beginning.

The image for this process shows each step, from top to bottom.

1. Unbend the large curve of he paper clip.
2. Cut off the smaller curve.
3. Bend in a foot at each end - this is simply two right-angles. Make sure the tip is long enough you can stick the rubber wheel on (~1cm or 0.4")
4. Mentally divide the long, straight length into quarters. Bend the two outside segments out by about 45degrees (should be ~ 1cm or 0.4" at the bend). Think three dimensionally!
