It holds your soap and it's made from a beer can :o

Materials

For this Instructable you will need:
- A can you'd be proud to flaunt (473ml works well)
- scissors
- dry erase marker

Prepare Can

Lay your can on its side such that the mouth is at the bottom.

Draw Cut Lines

On the top of the can, draw a line from one end to the other. Make sure you leave about half a cm on each side (you need to fold this part over later so nobody gets cut).

At the end of this line draw another set of lines that reach about 1/3 of the can's circumference downwards.

Cut

With your scissors, cut along the lines. It might help to poke a hole at the end of the lines with a small screwdriver so you don't cut too far

Bend

Using the edge of your table as a guide, bend the sides down away from their natural position.

Next you'll want to bend over the sharp edges of the can so that nobody bleeds on the soap!

Insert Soap

Insert soap.
You know what to do next!

I guess you could insert other things as well. Maybe pop tabs if you're into that; or butter.
