The color on the sides are a thin foam that I had left over from another project. I used them for color on the outside, and for a little more protection on the inside.
My case actually came out better than expected. I tried to keep the whole case as clean looking as I could while covering most signs of Apple. It holds 8 yoyos of any size and I’m fairly confident about their protection. Let me know what you guys think!!
My next project is making a portable case out of Arizona cans.
This is my current prototype:
The can-case isn’t ready for real-world use yet. I’m still experimenting with the design a little. My favorite part about a can design is it’s portability. The next one is going to be made out of an Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea can. I’ve also thought about making one out of a regular Coke can that would only hold two yoyos.
I’m gonna go drink some arizona tea right now… Never thought of that… except, does the metal can ding anything? Like you know where you cut it there’s edges?
Well the inside of the can is covered by that thin colored foam (that just happens to be colored white). Where I cut it you might be able to see that I rolled the edges around a pen or in other areas folded and crimped edges with pliers so that there are no sharp edges.
The yoyos fit pretty sung in there so they don’t move too much. I’m sure they might occasionally tap the rolled area, but not hard enough to do any damage.
I chose Arizona cuz they have big cans, but now that you mention it many energy drinks have over-sized cans. I wish I had a Rockstar (the yoyo) so I could put in a Rockstar can.
“Yo dawg, I heard you like Rockstars. So we put some Rockstars in your Rockstar so you can be a rockstar with your Rockstar.”
Really like the can, my mom drinks that stuff all the time. I was thinking about making a case out of a poster container, but that would more of a stand up thing, and would probably have shelves and a base.
“you can be a rockstar with your rockstar that’s being kept in rockstar” LOLL
EDIT: Just a thought, but can’t you leave the can open? Like instead of fold in fold out? I’ll do it witha coke can… since I don’t have big cans… but I’ll show u guys what I mean…
You know that little voice in your head that sometimes goes, “You know what would be really cool? I should do that.” You need to act upon that voice every once and a while. Creativity isn’t something you’re just good at. It’s something you have to work on and practice.
