    Looking for some ideas to put some of the 6/4 pack cardboard holders up in my bar area. I also have 2 boxes I would like to cut up and display but looking for some ideas. I have seen the pics of the guy with the bar and the counter is all 6/4 packs but I want to put things on the wall. Other than putting a single 6/4 in a frame what else have you guys done?

    I've "wallpapered" most of the ceiling of the bar with 6 pack holders. It's much more colorful than just a plain white paint.

    I snapped this photo at a bar a while ago because I though using six pack holders to fill those cubby holes was kind of clever.

    Because I'm in no position to go about this project myself; try making them into coasters? I don't have a pack to look at, but I know there would be some pretty close cropping on the logo to make it proper coaster size, and making it thicker and water resistant.
    Maybe a bit too much work, but I think it'd be a cool crafty thing to do with them. haha

    I recall a thread on this topic about a year ago where a guy cut the brewery logo graphic from the carriers of a brewery in each of the 50 states into the shape of that state, and then fitted them together into a wall-sized map of the US. I don't recall what was used for the Dakotas. The guy agreed that the brewery used for many of the states was not the best representative for that state, but just getting 50 carriers would be a challenge.

    Yes, I remember that. He printed out stencils of the states, then cut the shape directly into the cardboard packs. Final product was pretty sweet from what I remember

    That sounds pretty cool. Any pics of it?

    Keep the ideas coming!

    I dont have any pics of the specific one the BA made, but it basically looked something like this:

    Nice pic. That's pretty much what I remember of the pic that he posted. I'm pretty sure that he also had to use two or three of the same brewery logo to create a large enough graphic for TX and CA. I don't recall if AK and HI were a part of his map.

    You're right...def no HI or AK and Im pretty sure CA was several SN logos and TX was a few Shiners
