DIY SURVIVAL CONTAINERS FROM CO2 CARTIGES

I recently got some empty co2 cartiges from a friend of mine. After keeping them in my workshop for a year, I had the idea of transforming them into small containers, that are really resistant, and can serve you as extra airsoft pellets tanks or as containers to keep your money when camping.

To start, sand down the text that is on the cartige. If you use a drill, it will give your cartige also a nice industrial look.

Sawing

Saw your cartige in half at about two thirds of it's size.

Processing the Cap of the Compote Bottle

Snip off the cap of the compote bottle and sand it like shown in the video. At the end, the cap should fit in the co2 cartige.

Gluing

Glue the two parts of the compote bottle and the cartige together, so, that you get two pieces that can be screwed together.

Drilling the Hole for the Keyring and Adding It (the Keyring)

Drill a hole in the upper part of the cartige, so, that it penetrates it from the two sides. After that, add the keyring.

SUCCESS!!
