I'm just about to replace a tire, but before I hang it up on a nail where all the other used up rubber bicycle stuff goes I thought I'd check out bike forums to see if there was anything I could make with all the raw material.

I've heard of people making wallets and belts, does anybody have any other ideas?

Links to threads and Web sites would be helpful.

Here's an example of what I'm looking for. It provides pictures and step-by-step instructions. I just don't want a belt.
