Nalgene Up-do *UPDATED*
Yes, I did. i up-did my Nalgene bottle. Summertime means my bottle goes into overtime and I see it
ALL DAY LONG.
This is my bottle before. I tried to rip the bumper sticker off but that's as good as it got.
What you need:
water bottle
mod podge (I used gloss)
your favorite paper
cutting tool
paintbrush
Measure out the height and length of the paper
Paint the Mod Podge on the bottle. I painted on a section, stuck on the paper, glued, stuck, glued, stuck. You get the point.
Make sure you pull tight as you go to avoid air bubbles.
Put a final coat of Mod Podge on to seal it.
And there you go, my beautiful new water bottle.
I tried this with my son's Camelbak water bottle and the bottle started falling off from water condensation. Not sure if it was due to the bottle or the fact that I was anxious and used a semi cool water bottle.
Let me know how yours turns out.

This is so cute! I have stickers all over my Nalgene. How would your method work when it comes to washing the Nalgene? I'm assuming it can't go in the dishwasher :)

Good question. Handwashing works best. I forgot to add that I put on a couple of coats of Mod Podge to seal the paper. DUH!
What a cute idea!

Visiting from Mingle Monday! That's such a fun idea - I love little craft projects!
This is absolutely precious! Love this project, so it may be time for my nalgene to get some plastic surgery ;)
Thanks for stopping by the [Life of Meg] Mingle Monday!
