How to Make a Beverage Stacker

        I couldn't fit all my beverages in the fridge so I tried to stack them in a pyramid shape. This did not work at all and I gave up after about 5 minutes of trying. You see, every time one of the bottom cans rolled away, causing the stack to collapse.
      
        After searching the web I found two solutions.
          - The binder clip idea link (wouldn't work for me because my fridge has glass shelves)
          - The Fridge Monkey link (I didn't want to buy one)

        Since neither of the above worked for me I decided to make my own beverage stacker, and give instructions on how to make one.

        What you will need:
                - some fabric
                - scrap wood ( I used 3/4" dowels)
                - a saw, scissors, and a stapler


        Preparing the Materials: First, you need to cut your fabric into a 5" x 13.5" rectangle. You could fold back and sew the edges if you want to make it look nice, I didn't. Just make sure the dimensions are right. Next, you need to cut your dowels into six 5" long pieces and sand off any sharp edges.

Fabric and wood cut to size

         Layout: Mark a line every 2 5/8" (The diameter of regular pop/beer cans) to show where to attach the dowels. The length of fabric I gave you should leave a bit of room on each end.

Lines marked for the dowels

        Attaching the dowels: Now, staple one dowel along each line you marked. Try to keep them all parallel. When you finish fastening all the dowels it should look something like this:

        Stack 'Em Up: Finally, stack your beverages, preferably in a fridge
