Magic Water Tly Creation Kit The Magic Water Tly Creation Kit is a unique and innovative product that allows users to create their own floating water toys. The kit contains all the necessary materials and instructions to create customized water toys that fly through the air. The kit includes a special water-repellent powder that, when mixed with water, forms a dense gel-like substance. This gel-like substance is then used to mold and shape the desired water toy. Once the toy has been molded, it is placed in a container filled with water and left to set. Once the toy has set, it can be removed from the water and dried.
YAY! Someone outside of the former Louisiana territory who celebrates a REAL Mardi Gras (or at least as close as you can get way out there on the west coast). I'm not a Louisiana girl exactly, but those of us who live along coastal Mississippi and coastal Alabama (i.e., that former Louisiana territory I mentioned) also celebrate Mardi Gras (a little-known fact that shocks a lot of people who aren't familiar with the roots of Mardi Gras and just think it's a crazy New Orleans party thing), and eat etouffe', and decorate our homes with purple, green, and gold and right this very minute I'm eating a bit o' King cake while sipping a cup of tea.

Once the toy has set, it can be removed from the water and dried. The toy's unique composition allows it to float on the surface of the water, creating a magical and mesmerizing effect. The user can then experiment with different shapes and designs to create a variety of water toys that are both fun and visually appealing.
Hoodoo Bikepacks by Sam Erhard
Sam Erhard, a graduate at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, designed a unique collection of modular bikepacking frame bags as part of his senior design thesis. We reached out to learn more about the program, the bags, and his inspiration for the project. Find details (and a video Sam produced) here…
The Hoodoo Bikepacks project was completed as a senior design thesis throughout 2019 spring and summer semesters at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA. I recently graduated from the Industrial Design (ID) program there. During my junior year, some friends and I enrolled in a soft goods intensive studio where we fell in love with a side project, a product design that had previously not been a primary focus within the ID department. As a designer/biker/skier/climber I saw the connection to outdoor gear and naturally began to steer my more self-directed school projects to include a soft good whenever possible.
My thesis began with the goal of finding pain points within the bikepacking experience, and addressing those areas of difficulty through design. The first few months of the project were restricted (by design of the curriculum) to research on our topic of interest with the goal of uncovering an interesting problem to design around. I gathered a great deal of second hand research through journals, articles, videos, and interviews with actual bikepackers and bike tourers. After the semester of research, I was pretty sure the problem that I needed to address was balancing the weight of drinking water without eating up too much real estate in the frame pack. At this point, the biggest hang up for me was that–although I had been mountain biking for the majority of my life—I had never even strapped packs to my own bike. So with the best degree of physical fitness that can be expected from a desk-bound design student in late March, I flew to Utah to ride the Kokopelli Trail from Fruita, CO to Moab, UT. I took three and a half days (let’s call it four) to complete the ride on my totally over-packed 160mm Trek Slash, it being the only bike I owned. As far as the bike was concerned, the pain points were evident enough, and would cleary have been less apparent if I had ridden a hardtail or a shorter travel bike. However, limited packing opportunities in the center of the frame geometry forced my to occupy my entire frame pack with a 2.5 l water bladder, while everything else was either in my large seat pack, on my bars, or on my back.
Returning from this trip, I was, A) excited that I could successfully pass the previous week of riding in the desert off as “research,” and B) because I discovered a real problem within bikepacking setups that I could focus on for my design. I realized after that trip that a major issue with weight dispersement on slacker mountain bike frames is simply a lack of mid-frame packing real estate, pushing heavy items into more cumbersome locations such as a seat pack or backpack. So I set out to design a system of bike packs that could work together to maximize packing volume and versatility around the main frame triangle.
The solution I came up with after a couple months of sketching and mocking up test bags in cotton, was a three part frame pack system. Two of the packs have a transformable feature, and one pack is strictly designated to water bladder transport. All of the packs are shaped to fit into a variety of packing arrangements on the frame to accommodate specific needs and weight placements as food and gear quantities may change throughout a ride. When fully assembled, two half frame packs strap to the top of the top tube and the bottom of the downtube, while the framepack fills the entire inner-frame triangle.

Reviews for "Discover the Joy of Creating Magic Water Flies with the Creation Kit"
1. John - 2 stars - I purchased the Magic Water Tly Creation Kit with high hopes, but I was ultimately disappointed. The instructions were unclear and it took me a while to figure out how to use the kit. Even then, the water tly creations didn't turn out as advertised. They were messy and didn't hold their shape well. The materials provided were also low quality. Overall, I would not recommend this kit to others.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I had such high expectations for the Magic Water Tly Creation Kit, but it ended up being a waste of money. The water tly molds were flimsy and didn't work properly, resulting in deformed and uneven creations. The instructions were confusing and didn't provide enough guidance. Additionally, the kit didn't include enough supplies to make more than a few water tly creations. Save your money and look for a better quality product.
3. Michael - 2 stars - The Magic Water Tly Creation Kit fell short of my expectations. The water tly molds were difficult to use and didn't create the detailed shapes as shown in the pictures. The included colors were also misleading - they appeared vibrant, but turned out dull and faded when the water tly creations dried. Furthermore, the kit lacked variety in mold designs and didn't offer enough additional supplies for creative customization. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this kit to others looking for a fun water tly experience.
4. Emily - 1 star - I was incredibly disappointed with the Magic Water Tly Creation Kit. The molds were poorly made and didn't hold up well. They easily broke and lost their shape while creating the water tly creations. Additionally, the kit lacked clear instructions, making it difficult for me to understand how to properly use the molds and create the desired shapes. The included colors were limited, resulting in unimpressive water tly creations. Overall, this kit was a disappointment and not worth the purchase.
