School may have started for many of us already, but believe it or not, it's still summer out! This is a great time to get in a few more hikes before fall hits and school gets into full swing. Here’s a fun DIY Water Bottle Holder craft made entirely of duct tape to ensure you stay hydrated!
Supplies
- Duct Tape, at least two different designs
- Ruler
- Precision Knife
- Scissors
- Compass
Step 1
Pick a colorful designed duct tape; we used these adorable owls. Using your precision knife and ruler, cut out two 10-inch strips.
Step 2
Overlap the two 10-inch strips to form a strip that is 3 inches wide. Set this aside.
Step 3
Take your second design of duct tape and cut out an 8-inch strip. Fold it in half lengthwise. It’s a little tricky but starting from the ends makes it easier.
Step 4
Using the same second design of duct tape, cut out a 40-inch strip. Fold this in half lengthwise as well. This step requires patience and steady hands.
Step 5
Take your piece of duct tape from step 2 and flip it over so that the adhesive side is now facing up. Place the short strap from step 3 in a “U” shape on the bottom as shown.
Step 6
Do the same “U” shape alignment with the long strap. The two straps should cross level so the water bottle sits firmly. Set aside.
Step 7
Repeat steps 1 and 2 with two 9-inch strips (9 x 3 inch). Place this piece over the 10 x 3 inch piece from step 6 starting in one corner. You will have 1 inch excess showing.
Step 8
Tape the ends of the strips together using the excess 1-inch section. This keeps your holder as one fluid piece.
Step 9
Use your compass to trace and scissors to cut a small circular piece to adhere the bottom straps together. We placed our cute owl in front and center.
Step 10
Grab a cool water bottle and a good friend, and go out on an adventure! Have fun and stay hydrated!
