If You Give A Bethany A Blazer Loss...

 ... than she wants a drink of whiskey... if you give her a drink of whiskey, she'll want it out of a cute flask...

Recently, while watching my beloved Portland Trailblazers lose to a team I can't stand (but dare not name), I also happened to be online. I updated my Facebook status claiming that after this game I was going to need a drink. In a new tab, I was on Etsy and saw a cute flask featured, which lead me to an adorable little shop kryan2designs where I found a cute zebra print girly flask that I absolutely love, so I linked it to my Facebook.

One of my friends left a comment on my link asking the question that all my friends seem to ask me when they find something really cute online that they don't want to buy. 

"Can we make that?" 

The answer is... duh!!!

Wanna see how I did it? 


Supplies: 
metal flask
scrapbook paper
measuring tape
outdoor mod podge
paint brush

I found some cute little 2 oz. stainless steel flasks online and you can find them here. I started out by measuring my flask. First I measured the height of the flask and then the length.

Once I had my dimensions, it was time to cut my paper. My measurements had me cut pieces 2 1/4" x 7 1/2". I miss measured at first and cut 3 1/4" tall, but cut an inch off and was fine.

When I had my pieces cut I wrapped them around the flask and cut off the excess length.

Once I had my paper cut it was time to mod podge. I painted a section of mod podge on the flask and put the paper on. I repeated to paint on sections and smooth down the paper, making sure to smooth the paper down really well to avoid getting air bubbles.

When the little flasks were covered with scrapbook paper, I made sure to let the mod podge dry. Then I applied a coat of mod podge over the top of the paper to seal the paper onto the flask. I did a total of three top coats of mod podge to make sure that it would stay sealed. I chose to use Outdoor Mod Podge to help protect the scrapbook paper from getting wet.

Update 2/3/12: After drying for 72 hours like the instructions said, the Outdoor Mod Podge on top of the paper was still a little tacky. I added a coat of Hard Coat Mod Podge and now the top coat is perfect. 

When I was finished I had some cute little flasks that will make some adorable little gifts for some ladies that I know!

I have plans to make a few more of these, maybe even one for myself!
