Water Bottle Tote

The kids needed water bottle totes for a summer day camp this week, so I came up with this quick and easy pattern. This one has elastic around the top to keep the bottle from falling out and should hold most smaller sizes of plastic and metal bottles (12-18oz).  And if you’re interested, you can read this review of BPA-free bottles.  This will work for adults too by simply lengthening the strap.

MATH ALERT: Luckily my husband was around today to help me with this one.  If you need to make your tote larger to accommodate a bigger bottle, simply increase the size of your bottom fabric circle.  To then determine what the width of your fabric should be, multiply the diameter of your circle by &#8719 (3.1415926….).

  5. LOL. Laughing at the “math alert” my hubby often helps me with math problems like this, too. I couldn’t sew if I didn’t have him around. 🙂 Love the holder. Thanks for the pattern/tutorial.

  26. This is so cute! I pinned it so I could remember to make it when it gets closer to summer. Though I guess it would be an awesome stocking stuffer too. 🙂

  28. I think this is great and I am looking for a pattern for a tote exactly the same but i want it to do up around the waist with a parachute buckle..Nice for walking the dog and carrying a bottle of water to keep them cool and give them a drink

  29. So cute, been wanting to make these for my grandkids, and my senior walking group, thanks for sharing 🙂
