ProudGrandma Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I am looking for the insulated sleeve to go over our water bottles...but I don't want to spend $10 for each one (we need 5)...does anybody here know where I can find them cheaper? Thanks. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole M Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Do you know how to sew? I bookmarked this site ages ago, thinking one day I might make this cutie insulated carrier: http://www.ymib.com/daily-inspiration/creative-living/articles/make-it-water-bottle-carrier.html I didn't realize that you can buy that insulating stuff at a fabric store. Seems like you could improvise something less complicated than this particular pattern, though, if you know what you're doing with a machine, it may not seem complicated to you. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 I would really prefer to buy them...I don't sew and by the time I buy the material and pay someone to sew it, I may as well pay $10 for the ones on the web. I guess I was really hoping for cheap ones somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseball mom Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 What kind of bottles do you have? I am looking for sleeves too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 What kind of bottles do you have? I am looking for sleeves too. I just bought these...I don't even have them yet... stainless steel bottles. bpa free stainless steel. water bottles by hydrasip the company had great bottles for a good price...but no sleeves. and the ones that I have seen are all about $10 each. So if you find some for less, please let me know...I just spent $75 for water bottles...I can't hardly fathom spening another $50 just to cover them and keep the contents cold..UGH!!

Oak Knoll Mom Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I bought several 100% wool sweaters at Goodwill, cut off the sleeves, then felted them in the washing machine. Worked like a charm, no sewing, and cheap! The biggest drawback is they don't have bottoms, but they work fine for my purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't live in an area where keeping water cold is a priority (heh!), but if we did, I'd do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrg Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Do you have a COSTCO? I just bought three stainless steel water bottles with sleeves for $14.99 for all three. They have screw on top with a pop top insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
