Water Bottle

Today we are making a simple water bottle for doll play!

Every day my kids pack a water bottle with their lunch for school.  But that’s not the only time they grab their water bottles!

Taking a road trip?  Fill up your water bottle for the car.

Having a day at the beach?  Bring along your water bottle.

Time for a hike?  Don’t forget your water bottle.

Water bottles find their way into our day to day life, so they will certainly find their way into day to day play!

Let’s make a water bottle!

Supplies:

• Mini shampoo, conditioner, or lotion bottles (empty, washed out and dry)
• Washi tape
• Scissors

This doll size water bottle is made from a mini hotel shampoo bottle.  I first saw the idea to use this mini bottle a number of years ago. (Link is here.)  I added my own touch with washi tape for a fun design to the water bottle!

Start with a clean, dry bottle.  You may want to remove any label stickers on the bottle.  Since my bottles had clear stickers I decided to leave them.

Cut the tape end so it will have a smooth start and finish.  Place a strip of tape the length of the bottle.  Add each strip, slightly overlapping the previous until the bottle is covered.

All Done!

Hotel shampoo bottles come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Washi tape also comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns which means your water bottle has endless possibilities!

This particular bottle even has a flip top.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy doll size water bottle!
