You can also download the design files below for free and follow the instructions to make the pedal yourself.
You will need a cardboard box, knife or scissors, and about 15 minutes.

You can always paint it if the current color does not appeal to you. The best option is to use acrylic based spray paint. Make sure to test the paint on a different piece of cardboard before painting the pedal, and do it outside to avoid unnecessary cleaning!

Step-by-step instructions

To make the assembly easier, all the steps in the manual are illustrated in color.
Let us know if you notice any issues during the assembly process.
