Burda Style For people who sew
Description
we used nalgene plastic bottles for years, then the whole bisphenol A scare came out… decided we are glass people now. so, i bought these haute-couture water bottles for hubby n me, and came up with this cozy to protect the glass from the many spills i manage to produce. after the initial second mortgage to buy one of these bottles, you’ve got a green health friendly vessel (perhaps to put in your charlie bag?)… and the cozy makes me want to drink water :)

I like this idea and may steal it, having banished all of my plastic water bottles as well. And I know exactly what water bottle is underneath – whew, are they expensive!

steal away! and yeah, those voss bottles are ri-donk-culous. after breaking two, a friend working at a restaurant started bringing us empties (after assuring us they were used as carafes only), so for awhile we had about 20 of them…

This is wonderful. I use yo-yo’s for jewelry and hairpieces for my daughter. I will definitely use this idea! Thanks for sharing.

I am a big fan of water drinking, so making it cute is just icing on the cake! SO, SO, SO CUTE!

many thanks everyone!
emilykate, i did a little google search myself, cause i know i butchered the spelling on that word… fixed it! it’s bisphenol A, and here’s a usa today article on it: http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2007-12-23-3665749850_x.htm
everybody’s got different opinions on which plastics leach it, but it seems they find out some new chemical is morphing into our lives every day so i decided to just go with good ole glass:)

This is so cute, yet very practical. What a good idea!

Very beautiful. love all the color mixed.

Ah, gorgeous! The colours are beautiful and bright and I DO love a yoyo. Had never heard of this bisptheonal A scare, am off to google it!

thanks everyone! nehmah, this has only brought trouble for me. it has encouraged me to go to dance class.. hiking… when will the horror end?!!
kristen, it is sooo easy, i could definitely do a how to. after you make your yo- yo’s in varying sizes, you basically sew it right onto the bottle to get the shape of it.
bathina, i hope the inspiration means i will see one from you:)

Oona; that is grand! Not only is your handwork nifty; you are green. Good for you. Watch the water drinking; one never knows where such alien vices like water drinking will lead. Nehmah
