This fun project comes together in no time with the help of a zipper and hot glue. Personalize the container with a fashionable zipper or use your favorite colored-plastic bottle for a chic look.

Measure an inch and a half (37 mm) from the base of the water bottle, and mark with a pen. Use sharp scissors to cut away the bottom from the bottle. Do the same with another empty plastic bottle.

Select a zipper that wraps around the bottle comfortably. We found a seven-inch zipper fits perfectly with an 18- or 20-ounce bottle. Secure the zipper to the inside of one bottle with hot glue. Create small lines of glue and press quickly while hot for best results.
