DIY Mason Jar Bottle

A great way to help out the environment is to reduce and reuse objects and materials. One way to do this is to make your own water bottle from a mason jar! This would reduce the amount of plastic water bottles that people have come to use and buy regularly. Instead, with this mason jar, you can keep it forever and just wash it instead of throwing it out or recycling.

 

DIY Mason Jar bottle:

Supplies:

    Mason jar

    Straw/Paper straws (from Target) 
           [or saved old straws that are reusable]

    Cloth design/color

    Hole puncher

    Rubber grommets (from Lowes/Home Depot)

           

First, wash the grommets, jar, & lids before starting to make sure everything is clean.

Then use a regular paper hole puncher to create the hole for the straw in the lid.

Cut the piece of cloth using the lid and make a matching hole in the cloth.

Use fabric glue to attach the cloth right onto the jar lid.

Or you can paint the lid (on the top side) instead of using fabric, or just leave it the way it is.

After you get the hole punched, insert the rubber grommets- they just squeeze right on.

Stick the straw in and everything’s all set.

Just chose your drink and you’re on your way!
