Project Sixteen is a birthday gift for a dear friend, so we're customizing a flask with a cool carrying bag. It's what she asked for and we brave epoxy to make it...
Here's what you'll need to complete this project:
- Stainless steel flask
- Custom metal adornment
- JB Weld Qwik epoxy glue
- plastic fork
- paper plate
- recycled wine bag
- ribbon
- bead adornment
With the end on your plastic fork, on the paper plate, mix epoxy according to package directions.
When the glue is mixed, carefully cover the back side of your metal adornment.
Place carefully on the stainless steel flask and hold until quick-set.
Here's our finished product!
For our bag, we used a recycled wine bag with a frayed bottom edge.
Size your bag to your flask and cut off the bottom of the bag.
Fold the bottom cut edge in and place hem tape inside the fold.
Iron over the hem tape inside the fold until set.
For the ribbon adornment, we frayed the edge of this gold ribbon.
By pulling strands out, we make our own 'tassel'.
Attach the ribbon to the bag with hem tape and/or a stitch as needed.
Tie the bead adornment on and your bag is complete!
Here's the cost breakdown:
- Stainless Steel Flask (Walmart) - $3.88
- Metal adornment (we made our own) - free
- Bead adornment(s) (Hobby Lobby) - $2.50
- Ribbon (Hobby Lobby grab bag) - $.25
- Wine bag (recycled, approximate value) - $1
Total cost of our set: $7.63
This project was fun and rewarding to give as a gift.
Get creative and design your own!
