Canteen

By Denise Witmer, About.com

Materials Needed:

  • Two film canister tops
  • Black pony bead
  • Black, thin ribbon
  • Hot glue gun/glue sticks
  • Flat back pin
  • Tag

Directions:

  1. Glue film canister tops together.
  2. Hide the seams of the tops by gluing on black ribbon.
  3. Add the black pony bead to the side, so it looks like the spout where you drink from.
  4. Hot glue flat back pin on back.
  5. Add the tag to the pin.

Added Tips:

  1. All SWAPS that are going to be traded should have a tag with some information about the giver. First name, troop level and number, and state works well as a rememberence for the receiver and keeps safety issues in mind.
