Water Jug Neckerchief Slide

If you know little man you know that he LOVES neckerchief slides. He has this goal of wearing a new neckerchief slide every week to Cub Scouts.

Here is a quick one you can make using things you most likely have around the house.
Isn't this the cutest neckerchief slide? Little man is so excited to wear this one to scouts. It is pretty easy to make too.


Here is what you will need to make one:

  • 4 milk caps.It doesn't matter what color they are as long as two of them are the same color
  • Plastic bodndoggle lace to match your same color milk caps
  • Duct tape or electrical tape to match you milk caps
  • small pony bead.
  • Glue gun ( I am showing how to make it with out a glue gun so the cubs can make them, but you will need it for the bead and pvc pipe ring). 
  • clear packing tape
  • pvc pipe ring


Tape two milk caps together using small pieces of tape

 Next place the two matching colored milk caps on either side of the two you just taped together and lay on a long piece of tape as seen above.
Place a piece of plastic lace on the duct tape under your milk caps.

 Start rolling your milk caps along the tape, taping them altogether. As you can tell, I forgot to add my string and had to go back and undo my tape.

Continue taping until you reach the opposite side of your plastic lace. When you get to this point add your lace and tape in place.
 Finish off your tape. Now cut your plastic lace off if you have excess.
 After cutting off excess lace.
Now glue your bead on using a hot glue gun. Make a label for your cute new jug and use clear packing tape to tape it on. Place a pvc pipe ring on the back and you are ready to wear your new slide.
