Thermos case options
The case for a thermos can become a decorative accessory, and a well-insulated one can also protect the temperature. Such a coating can be created by yourself from improvised means or bought in a store. Both methods have their pros and cons, which are discussed in detail in our article.
How to do it yourself?
It's always nice to make something with your own hands. It is especially good when the resulting craft does not just decorate a shelf with souvenirs, but is used and is a necessary thing. The methods below allow you to create a case for storing a thermos with your own hands from improvised means.
From threads
An easy way to create a thermos bag is to use yarn. It is enough to purchase threads of your choice, while choosing thickened options (to protect the thermos from external damage). It is necessary to start from the bottom of the cover, closing the required number of air loops into a ring, and then knit 13–17 double crochets onto the ring. Further, the difficulties end, and you can quickly weave the walls of the cover without difficulty.
The top of the cover can be decorated as you like - add handles or a button with which you can close the thermos.
When choosing this method of making a pouch, it is important to remember the dimensions of the insulating utensils for which the accessory is intended. Otherwise, the thermos may either not fit into the case, or hang out in it.The result should be a solid knitted pouch.
Denim
Of course, there is no need to buy new jeans to make a cover. Perfect options that have served the period of wearing and just gathering dust on the shelf. With their help, you can get an original and convenient accessory for a thermos.
What will be useful:
- scissors - for cutting solp, cutting strips;
- iron - to iron the fabric so that it is in good condition before work;
- adhesive fabric:
- fabric glue - to connect the surface of the thermos with the fabric.
Action options (just like with yarn) are unlimited. For example, you can cut a lot of denim strips and twist them together.
In addition, you can pick up jeans, the solps of which are similar in diameter to a thermos. Having cut off one such salt of the required length, you can figure out how to decorate the bottom and upper part of the thermal cover.
From a scarf
A scarf can become an original and practical cover. Due to its properties to store heat, such an accessory will not only be a decorative addition, but also a practical way to keep the desired temperature of the drink longer. You will need the scarf itself and strong threads, as well as any decorative trifle: if you wish, you can decorate the finished case with different buttons and stripes, but this is not necessary. The walls of the stitched scarf should also be insulated with batting or any other material that additionally saves heat.
The bottom of the thermal bag can be made from unnecessary things, for example: cut a circle from an old bag or find a durable fabric. It is desirable to lay a solid insulating material on it: the same batting will do.
Interesting shopping options
There are not always ideas, time and desire to make a case with your own hands. The result may not be pleasant or not suitable, and the time spent cannot be returned. It is for this reason that you can choose a case made at the factory. Such accessories have increased protection against falls and an insulated structure that does not allow the thermos to cool down for several hours longer.
Often, the thermos manufacturer himself supplies a case with the company logo along with his product. Such accessories most often do not have thermal insulation properties, but can serve as protection against damage and breakage of a thermos.
To use the official cover or not - each user decides for himself.
- Green military thermal case with an extra pocket is definitely not suitable for a girl or an office worker, because with his whole appearance he shows a commitment to hunting, fishing and hiking. An additional pocket distinguishes this option from others, but it is also a minus: if you put something heavy in it, the thermos itself will certainly fall and will not keep its balance. This accessory can be called a pouch, which is what it is: the accessory can be attached to special places near the backpack.
- Multi-colored, bright, with cartoon characters. Perfect for children's thermoses of small volume (up to 1 liter). The top of the cover is open and does not cover the thermos completely, but this is not a problem, because the material used keeps the temperature of the liquid inside so well. Light green, blue, black, gray, red, yellow - colors available at the user's choice.
- Thermos bags are the best solution for women. Of course, such an accessory does not have thermal insulation properties and does not increase the heat retention period.However, the declared day is enough for the girl to comfortably drink hot tea on a walk. Such a cover will save the hostess from the uncomfortable wearing of a thermos by the handles.
