Soda Can Pop Tops

I got tired of drawing out my own soda can tops so I decided to do some searching to see if anyone out there had printable tops. I found nothing of the sort. A few pictures of soda can tops but not quite what I was looking for. There was nothing left to do but make my own.

To start it off here are two slightly different widemouth tops. You may have to rescale them a little, but this should be pretty close.

just right click and select “save as” on the images

If anyone has any requests or would like to submit their own please email phatus@phatus.com or create and account and post in the comments section. We should have more soon.

We’re still alive!!

Sorry about the lack of posts over the past week. We have been hard at work promoting the site and our new MARS color change. The activity to the site has been more than we could have ever imagined for the short time we have been live and we are very excited at the stats. We have also realized that our material is coming in contact with a very large number of viewers that either have low speed connections or just prefer a pictorial illustration of our projects so pyro222 has been putting together some step-by-step tutorials over at instructables.com
We have also placed a link to pyro222 at instructables under the links section on the sidebar.

So far he has made the tutorials for the following….

How to mark playing cards

Sorry again for the lack of content.

Also we are in the process of putting up the message boards and should hopefully have them up very shortly.

Comming Soon - a DIY magnetic quarter

Cost of a steel core magnetic quarter - $30

Cost of a replacement Steel quarter to replace the one you lost - $30

Making an unlimited number of magnetic quarters for less than a dollar each so that you don’t friggin care if you loose it - PRICELESS

We are very excited to announce that we’re currently working on a free DIY video project for making magnectic quarters using things you most likely all ready have around the house. No more paying 30 bucks for a replacement because your girl accidently spent it from the laundry money jar. Imagine the possibilities this will open, being able to make several of these. This will enable you to have spectators sign the coin as you will not care too deeply about it. We are still fine tuning the quirks to make it as practical yet inspectable as possible, but we should hopefully have something within the next week or so.

However, the imagination doesn’t stop there. We plan to come up with much more of this type of content exclusively to the site in the future. So be sure to join and bookmark now.
In the meantime please check out some of our other fun project to your right.

email comments, concerns, ideas, video links, questions to Admin@Phatus.com
