Lighter + Kit
(DIY Themed Kits that attach to a standard size Bic Lighter.)
We've put together a set of supplies designed to fit against the frame of a lighter. Some of the supplies adhere (tapes, mirrors, glow surfaces) and other tools are attached by wrapping a ranger band around them against the lighter (cuff key, blade, kevlar saw).

Instructions: Use ranger bands to secure items to the body of the lighter. A pair of needle nose pliers will help to stretch the ranger band onto the lighter. Wrap Jute or Kevlar around the lighter body and tie of the end so it stays secure. You can also store smaller items under the wrapping. Adhere Reflective or Glow tapes directly to the body. Add your own supplies too!
