Repurposing is fantastic, simple repurposing, even better! A bandanna or any square of cotton material tied around the cup hobo style means you can store stuff in the cup without the lid falling off and a square of cotton material has multiple uses itself.

If you drill a large hole in the side of the can near where the lid will be cut out from, then snip down to that hole, it'll make it easier to make that 90° turn to cut.

Hmm... I did the same thing with the top of a #3 can of imported cheddar cheese but only with a 1/4" lip. Riveted the handle with a key ring too. I added a set of drain holes to one side and a vent hole opposite those. Got the idea watching a homeless guy cook his instant noodles in a Walmart tin cup but he used a large tuna can as a lid. Funny thing too was that he was using four tea lights between two bricks as a stove and a pie pan as the hot plate. Great video. Always looking forward to your next hack and skill to teach. Thanks.

Nice hack! Your vids always get a 👍🏻 from me. I made a lid for mine by taking the lid off of a can using a safety can opener. I just punched two, small holes in the lid and threaded a keyring through them. A possibly even better option, however, takes zero time or effort to make. If you look at Walmart, usually right next to those stainless cups, they also sell these red, collapsible silicon cups. I found that if you leave one of those collapsed, turn it upside down and press it around the rim of the stainless cup it pretty much 'snaps' on and will stay. I wouldn't put it directly in a fire but silicon can hold up to some pretty good temps and I have poured scalding hot water - too hot to drink right away - into those cups to make cocoa, etc. and had no.problem. of course that style lid doesn't have a handle but silicon doesn't hold heat - and you probably could cut strips out of another one of those cups and create low profile handles that could be glued on and would fold out pretty flat against the bottom of the cup if you want to drink out of it. Yet another bonus is that the silicon cups have measurement markings on the inside. So now you would have the stainless cup/small pot with a silicon lid/measuring cup/bowl for eating oatmeal, etc. that you make with the hot water from the stainless cup/pot. I haven't seen anyone else talk about that so either no one has thought of it or there are drawbacks I haven't encountered, yet. Just be careful and don't snap the lid on too tightly.
