A Sneaky Soda Can Safe

Here is a simple instructable that can prevent family members coming into your room and taking your valuables. The soda can safe is a clever yet secure way to confuse oncoming friendly marauders.  

Step 1 Materials List

You will need...

1. can opener
2. a soda can (Pepsi is easiest to remove top)
3. foam core, paper towel or spray insulation... your choice
4. some kind of jar or canister. (I used a small jam jar i had left over)
5. Hot glue

instead of cutting the top of the can, sand the circle edge part until you see a cut line all the way arond and just pop it off

I haven't been able to do this and really look like an unopened soda. You can buy these professionally made. I have seen them at truck stops and on-line

You can get it perfect with almost no skill.
I may post an instructable soon.
The trick is not to use a can opener, but a dremel with a short blade and carefully cut all around the top.

O cool... thank you... i really didnt care about aesthetics but thank you for the support i suppose

thanks you your feedback is greatly appreciated, of course your not going to get it perfect but up on a shelf no one will tell the difference.

How would you close the can? That would problably be a good thing to put in the instructable. After you glue the lid does it snap on or is their a way to screw it on and off?

[palms14]

well mine after usage becomes easy to snap on and snap off but it depends on the jar you use. Thanks alot on the feedback. I should be coming out with a new instructables today or tomorrow:)
