Title: My idea for sci-fi barrels and crates
Post by: SogMot on December 31, 2012, 11:32:08 AM

Hi
some time ago i saw a post how to make a barrel of plastic coke caps, this really inspired me but i really didn't like the shape or size of those, than one day i had an brainwave when i saw plastic tops from kid's bottles of juice and i came up with this :

Great idea! 8)

What did you use as filler behind the gaps in the caps?

Good idea.
Now to bug my mom for them.
She luckily always has little bottles like those for the grandchildren.
Come to think of it, I'd best set my kids on it.
Chug chug chug chug........!

Those things are quite useful aren't they?

I used mine like this:

But I hadn't thought of the barrel option, thank you for the great idea!

I just used a pink foam (high density one), and twisted a cap few times to round the edges

If you keep your eyes open on the street, you can pick up a few every time you are out for a walk in the UK (but wash your hands and the caps!)

I've been spotting these things all over the place and wondering what they were.  I did pick up a few but couldn't think of a use for them, but now I know.

Nice brainwave :)
