Hack Something Using Heat Shrink Tubing

Hello, fellow Lifehackers! Time for another MacGyver Challenge. What's a MacGyver Challenge, you ask? Simple. We give you an object and you show us what cool things you can do with it. Our editors pick the best submissions and our favorite will win a copy of the Lifehacker book!

Ready? Then let's get started.

This week, we're asking you to make something using heat shrink tubing. We've shown you how to use heat shrink tubing to revive old shoelaces, keep your glasses from slipping, create your own tool grips, and even make the ultimate keychain.

Now, it's your turn. Share your best hack using heat shrink tubing. Your hack can use other materials, of course, but the heat shrink tubing should be the defining element. Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. And don't be afraid to get creative!

Make sure to follow these instructions when you submit your entry:

Post your entry below or send it to challenge@lifehacker.com with the subject MacGyver Challenge: Heat Shrink.
