Easy Painted Bike Bell DIY

A compass bike bell I had gotten as a souvenir from Berlin broke off my bike last winter and I didn't rush to replace it, but now that the bike paths are brimming with people, a bell comes in handy. Yeah, I could yell out, "On your left!" but have found this less effective than the ding of a bell.
I made a couple of personalized bells as Christmas gifts and was happy with how they turned out (though I accidentally dropped one of them in the snow before the enamel dried). The process was a bit time-consuming. Then I got the idea to try using paint pens, which would be faster and easier for creating a design on a bell.
I picked up some paint pens from the craft store, along with a shiny new bell from my neighborhood bike shop, and got to work.
 Again with the triangles! I'm obsessed!
The fine-tipped paint pens worked great. The paint flowed evenly in a nice thin line.
I only wanted to apply the enamel to the dome of the bell, so I wrapped some paper around it and sprayed on the enamel per the instructions on the canister. Now the paint can't be scratched off (I tried).
I love the final bell from this quick and easy DIY!

  5. Above all else, Speedrid Folding Electric Bikes does its name justice by being one of the best throttle electric bikes. The Speed Professional 6 enjoys six speeds, with a 500W brushless electric motor. With so much power, it can top off its speed at 24mph. That's just a few miles above the NAKTO Folding Electric Bike visit speedrid e bike website
