How to make a doll's thermos flask...

Finished doll thermos,
made from recycled glue sticks.

        Our doll size versions of the thermos have handles on the lids, but you can design these with handles on the sides if you prefer. Both designs are ordinarily found in the U.S. I've covered our doll versions with checks on one and stripes on the other. In the past it was difficult to find thermoses with designs like these but now our patterns would be considered normal. When I was a child, thermoses came in lunch box sets or picnic baskets and were usually covered in a plaid designs or solid colors.

Supply List:

• recycled glue sticks
• covered coffee bag wires
• decorative paper
• white school glue
• black construction paper
• Mod Podge 

Step-by-Step Instructions: 

1. Use white school glue to apply decorative paper to the recycled glue stick container(s). Let dry.
2. Cut thin long strips of black construction paper 1/4 inch wide. 
3. Glue these around the top and bottom of the glue stick container. Make the top section of the faux thermos slightly thicker as this will be the 'lid' of our doll toy.
4. Cut the coffee bag wire down to a handle size, approximately two inches long. Bend it into shape attach to the lid neatly.
5. Cover the ends of the doll thermos with black paper as well.
6. Mod Podge all sides of the covered tubes for durability.
