They're great @Bodgeitandscarper I don't know how you managed to stitch through that rubber!

@Lilian They sewed easily, inner tubes are quite thin really.

Thank you very much @Bodgeitandscarper :)
I'll have to wait for my inner tubes to be so wrecked that they're no longer able to hold air... That could be a long time. A very long time indeed :)

As bodgy said, inner tube rubber is very thin @Lilian  Less than 0.5mm usually and doesn't stretch too much either.

What a lovely way to use, what I assume is an old/damaged, inner tube. :perfect10:

Are these inner tubes from bicycles or car tyres? I don't have inner tubes on my car tyres I thought they were phased out years ago.  :thinking:

Bicycles @Lilian
I'm not sure about car/van tyres, but I'm sure truck tyres still use inner tubes. I've found a few on the roads and used them to make mudflaps for my bike.

Haha, I think it's many, many years since car tyres had inner tubes!
