Laundry Detergent Container Bike Fender

DIY plastic fenders are no stranger to Bike Hacks, but reader R0otux submitted a variation I have not seen before.  R0otux wrote the following via our Submit Your Hack link:

This simple hack will have your whip looking fresh and its machine safe so you know the hack will work for you.

Simply take a empty laundry detergent container and cut the desired pattern of a fender. From there its simply a matter of heating each end of the fenders precut lip into a 90 degree angle and allowing to cool, the drill holes in each lip. This will provide a mounting point onto the forks predrilled holes.

Not only is this hack fresh, it'll keep your bike and wallet uber light.

Here is the full picture of the hack, and the following pictures are close ups of the instructions, starting at the left and then moving clockwise.
