DIY Tossable Toys

This DIY Wooden Frisbee Adds a Little Charm to This Outdoor Activity

— August 25, 2013 — Art & Design
Frisbee fans will be intrigued by the DIY outdoor activity project. The wooden Frisbee allows active individuals to personalize their toss-able toys, and adds a little charm to this dorm-style activity.

Instructables user 'Emsaid' posted this crafty project, outlining how to make your very own custom wooden Frisbee. While this Frisbee looks great, one can't help but wonder if it would be more likely to injure people. No matter how you spin it, whipping wood at someone will almost definitely hurt more than whipping around a piece of plastic. The material used seemingly adds an element of danger to this friendly game. I suppose that means that Frisbee players will just have to up their game.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Outdoor Activities - There is a growing trend to create personalized experiences for outdoor activities through DIY projects, offering opportunities for disruptive innovation by companies that offer DIY kits and materials.
2. Retro-style Products - Retro-style products such as this wooden Frisbee are gaining popularity, creating opportunities for businesses to offer customized retro-style products with a modern twist.
3. Sustainable Leisure - The use of natural materials such as wood in leisure activities is becoming more popular, offering opportunities for sustainable businesses to manufacture eco-friendly leisure products.
Industry Implications
1. DIY Materials - DIY Materials companies can capitalize on the growing trend in personalized outdoor activities by offering a variety of materials such as wood, plastic, and metal to make customized products.
2. Outdoor Recreation - Outdoor Recreation businesses can offer customized and eco-friendly products to attract consumers looking for unique and sustainable recreation experiences.
3. Eco-friendly Manufacturing - Eco-Friendly Manufacturing companies can offer sustainable options for leisure products, including Frisbees made from natural materials such as wood and bamboo.
