Pattern Info

This project was designed by Miss Julep.

Beer Belly »

Instructions

Be very, VERY careful cutting out the cans so as to avoid injury. NEVER drink and drive!

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Costume

For: Other

Style: Eco-Friendly, Whimsical, Hipster, Rock / Punk, Funky, Casual


Materials

Beer cans, old scissors, hole punch, acrylic yarn, beads, bells & tassels for embellishments.

What was your inspiration?

My sister wanted a kitschy beer can hat. Things got out of hand at one of our annual week long family reunions and Beer Belly was born. The motto of this project is "Beer & Belly Dancing; a symbiotic relationship".

What are you most proud of?

Not sure that I should be proud of anything in this project other than the fact that I didn't get cut making this. And the fact that our entire family, (adult family members only, please) , had such a good time playing around with this silly project.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be careful, cut cans are sharp. Do not use your good scissors to cut the cans out.

What a scream! I love it!! Certain members of my family would get the biggest kick out of this. I would love to make one or a few (Lol!) but I don't know anyone that drinks beer out of cans right off the top of my head. I'm gonna keep this project bookmarked just in case. Great job!
