If you're looking for something to do when it's raining outside with your kids, why not make it an arts and crafts night?
Seamster has created a DIY pinball machine using scraps around the house--even making use of a ball from an old computer mouse. This kid-friendly project will be sure to be a success with the right guidance and appropriate tools.
Implications - The effects of the economic downturn has people cutting back on spending. The Web has thus become a place where people unite and learn how to create their own products with DIY projects that are just as original and cutting-edge as what can be found on the market. The simplicity and cost-efficient nature of these products reflects not only the attraction of minimalist concepts, but also the eco-conscious attitudes of current consumers.
