This is a very cute way to turn an ordinary bottle of water into a little something special – I made mine for a camp trip but you could make them for events such as Girl or Boy Scout activities, good luck treats for friends participating in charity events, little teacher gifts etc…if you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator they also make fab class projects or downline meeting treats.

You can use a ‘special’ bottle like the one I found below at Target or you can use regular disposable water bottles…there is a little pocket in the front that you pop a drink mix such as Crystal Light into so that the recipient can add a little flavor to their water.

Read on for details on how to make it and at the end of this tutorial you will find a printable version so that you can print it out and keep it for reference.

Firstly choose a piece of cardstock and cut it to be 7 3/4″ x 2″…and then score 2″ from each end…fold like so…

Punch a hole using a Circle Punch to fit your water bottle – for a regular disposable water bottle you will need to punch a hole using a 1 1/4″ Circle Punch – for my bottle above I used a 1 1/2″ Circle Punch…

Fold the bottom flap upwards and adhere using Sticky Strip along each side or you can use brads…

You can use the Scallop Circle punch to make a little cute collar to fit around the circle you made – simply punch out another circle in a sheet of cardstock and then center your scallop circle punch over it – punch and adhered around your circle…

Decorate with papers, stamps and embellishments – pop onto your water bottle and I like to secure it using a Dimensional so that it doesnt move around – finally slip in your drink sachet mix and it is ready to give…
