Military Alcohol Canister

I recently visited a military museum. The souvenir shop caught my eye, particularly, a curious piece called a canister. It was made for the military to carry with them easily, it is shaped in an oval shape and contains alcohol. Seeing as I had just the bottle resembling that shape, I decided to create a canister for the military.

Supplies

  1. An old, ruptured jeans - it may be a jacket, trouser, etc.
  2. Sewing machine.
  3. Metallic paint colors.
  4. Mod Podge Gloss.
  5. Perfume (To give it final touches and remove the scent of paint).

Paint the Bottle.

Paint the complete bottle. In my case, I have decided to paint only the top and the bottom.


Sew the Cover.

I have reversed the Jeans cloth, sewn the two pieces and then reversed it again to give it that smooth shape with no protuberances. I cut the cloth from a Jeans, but any other material may be used. I would have preferred to use a rubber cover instead in which case, chose to sew it or glue it. Make markings related to the bottle such that the cloth should be a perfect fit.

Drink Up!

I sprayed a few drops of a really strong perfume to give it the feel of a luxury piece.

Always consult your parents before thinking about this. (for underaged kids).

Others, cheers!
