I like the armband idea - I have enough trashed tubes to make a couple dozen for the ride. Tubes do make excellent, very grippy bar tape as well.
yes you can Don, I'm speak from experience. Just use the Thin black rubber ones, not the thick gray ones.
Primitive Don said:I saw some tubes of vulcanizing cement at REI for like a dollar. Can you can make patches out of old tubes?
It is important to clean the rubber patches you've made thoroughly.
You can also get small jars, with brushes in the lids, of rubber cement or rubber solution from arts or craft shops (EG: Hobby Lobby).

A friend and I also tried to make our fortunes by making (2nd-generation) iPod Nano covers from sections of used inner-tubes, see http://bitubes.com/, but needless to say we're both still poor.
The 3rd-generation iPod didn't really lend itself to a cover made from a piece of gash inner-tube, although the 4th-generation may be a candidate - although we haven't done anything to date.
Try some of the links at http://bitubes.com/links.htm to see what others are doing - but, unfortunately, my favourite at www.wheels-on-fire.nl appears to be blank or broken? Some of the work by Jan Willem Van Breugel can still be found at & http://www.designspotter.com/product/2007/05/wheels_on_fire.php & http://www.picassomio.com/jan-willem-van-breugel/exhibition.html (click on any of the three images for a larger picture & more details)
