How to Disguise Your Beer Can With a Soda Can

Last Updated: March 23, 2023

Sometimes, you might find yourself wanting to enjoy beer from a can, but you don't want anyone to see you drinking it. If you find yourself in this situation, then you should try hiding it neatly beneath a soda can cover. Your friends and family will never know that you haven't been sipping on a soda all night. The only thing you have to decide is if you want to purchase the soda can cover or make one.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

Preparing the Soda Can

1
Gather your materials. To create a soda can cover to use over a beer can, you will need to have a few things on hand. Here is what you will need:
- Can of beer (full)
- Can of soda (empty)
- Can opener
- Scissors
- Metal file
2
Remove the entire top of the soda can. Use a can opener to evenly slice off the top of the soda can just under the lip. Be sure to move the can opener slowly around the whole top to prevent tearing to the can or inquiry to yourself.

3
Cut off the base of the soda can. Again, you can use a can opener to take off the bottom portion where the can curves inward. This is where the beer can will fill the indented portion of the base.
4
Clean up the bottom of the can. Use scissors to evenly cut just above the line that separates the silver portion at the bottom. This will ensure that you make a perfectly neat edge all the way around.
5
Cut the can down the middle. Find a part of the can which has a line of writing or other line that you can neatly follow for cutting along the side. Cut along this line using scissors, from the base to the top of the can. This will open the can.^{[1]

Covering Your Beer Can

1
File the edges. After you slice the can in half, there may be uneven metal along the edges you've just cut. Use a metal file to smooth out both edges so they come back together evenly.^{[2]

2
Roll the can up tightly. This will help restore its ability to spring back together at the cut so that it won't leave a gap when slipped over the beer can. Hold it in place for about thirty seconds, and then let release it.^{[3]

- Be careful and gentle when you roll up the can because the edges are sharp and could cause injury.
3
Slip the cover over the top of the unopened beer can. The only thing that should appear from the beer can is the top silver section, and the bottom silver base, which will look just like it's a part of the soda can.
4
Enjoy your beer in peace. To help disguise your beer can even more, and provide additional support to hold on the soda can, use a cozy. This will cover up the bottom half of your can and keep your drink cold.

Don't use this to deceive yourself about the amount of alcohol you're consuming.

Drink responsibly. Always use a designated driver or cab if you've consumed alcohol.

Underage drinking is illegal; this trick should not be used for such a purpose.
