My Extremely Eco-friendly Water Bottle!

[Miyu]

One day, after watching a video about the history of the Starbucks logo, I decided to buy a bottled Starbucks drink. They come in glass bottles, and after I was finished, I started thinking like the crafty, re-using everything mermaid I am... I know glass water bottles have gotten rather popular as of late, since they seem to be the most eco-friendly as well as healthy-for-you option. I've been wanting to get one for a while, but they can be pretty pricey.

So I decided to make myself a recycled, upcycled mermaid water bottle:

14273 14274

14275

With alternate deco cap for gigs and the like:

14276 14277

Recycled sari silk yarn (the purchase of which supports working women in India), freeform crochet cover. Buttons are vintage "pearl" buttons (I suspect they may be mother-of-pearl). Brass rings are for a carrying strap/belt strap, and are from an old belt scrapped for parts.

What do you mers think? I'll be making up a bunch more for my upcoming "sale to benefit my tail" :D

[WillowAnne]

This is ADORABLE! I can crochet, but there's no way I can cover a bottle like that... Lol, in my brain, it's easier to make an afghan than try to cover a bottle or coffee mug.

[Miyu]

Thank you! I'd been thinking of making something like this for a while, and the mermaid on the lid just kind of sealed it for me...


Haha, and I have SO MUCH trouble with flat crocheted things, but I can do 3-D things just fine! :p I learned how to knit first, so crochet is still a bit new to me, and freeforming it has really helped me out a lot. This actually isn't too hard, it's a circle, the just some regular rounds not increasing, then some fishnet up to the neck, then... Um, I'll have to sit down and figure out how I do the neck area. I'm the queen of improvisation with crochet...

[PearlieMae]

Nicely done!

[AptaMer]

Very cool bottle. With the mermaid on top it's perfect!

Do you think the crochet covering provides a bit of cushioning against breakage if you drop the bottle?

[Miyu]

Thank you! Yeah, the mermaid on top kind of made me NEED to turn it into a water bottle, haha!

I know it does! My man decided to test it out after I finished it :p I mean, don't go flinging it into a wall or concrete or anything, but just dropping it was fine. It's really thick yarn as well, so it's pretty good for making cushion-y things :)

[drucilla]

That is really cute, people would definitely buy it! Does it have a shoulder strap?

[Miyu]

I was going to be making various straps for it - shoulder strap, belt strap, hand strap... I know I like to switch them out sometimes myself :)

[Mermaid Muir]

SO creative! It's so cute!
