DIY Chain Water Bottle Holder: A Creative Solution to Stay Hydrated

As we navigate our busy lives, it's easy to forget one of the most essential things we need to stay healthy and focused - water. Staying hydrated is crucial for our bodies, but sometimes it can be a hassle to carry around a canteen. That's where this DIY chain water bottle holder comes in. This clever creation solves the problem of carrying a bulky canteen, making it easy to grab a drink on-the-go.

The idea behind this DIY project is to create a portable and stylish way to carry your canteen using a chain and some simple tools. The creator uses a pen as a measuring tool to size their chain around a particular water bottle, which is 100% copper and good for sterilizing the water. They also use a TW tone aluminum chain that is lightweight and comes in various colors.

The DIY process begins with measuring the shoulder strap to fit the torso, ensuring the water bottle hangs where desired. The creator cuts four long pieces of chain that can reach from the bottom center of the canteen up and around the top, making sure they're a little longer than needed for trimming later. These four long pieces will form the main skeleton of the chain.

Next, the creator cuts four more pieces of chain that come up about 3/4 of the way up the canteen, bringing the total number of chains to eight. They arrange these chains in a symmetrical shape, with two large jump rings at the bottom and two smaller ones on either side of the center jump ring. This will help create the foundation for the diamond pattern.

The creator connects the long and short pieces of chain using smaller strong jump rings, noting the number of links between the center jump rings to repeat the pattern symmetrically. They start creating the diamond pattern by connecting two of the long pieces next to each other, forming a larger diamond shape with 16 links in between the first jump ring.

As the pattern continues, the creator connects shorter pieces of chain to the center of the diamonds using smaller jump rings. This creates a intricate design that is both functional and stylish. Once all chains are connected, they trim off any excess chain and attach the long pieces to each end of the shoulder strap using strong large jump rings.

The finished product is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind chain water bottle holder that not only keeps your canteen secure but also makes it easy to grab a drink on-the-go. The mixed metals used in this project - copper, black, gunmetal, and silver tone - work together seamlessly, creating a unique and eye-catching design.

The creator showcases their finished product with pride, stating that they are obsessed with how the different metals work together. They plan to use this DIY project throughout the summer and encourage readers to try it out for themselves. With its ease of use and versatility, this DIY chain water bottle holder is sure to become a staple in any outdoor enthusiast's or everyday carry setup.

**Measurements Marked with the Marker**

Before starting the project, take a moment to mark your measurements with a marker on the brass tube of your canteen. This will ensure that your chain is perfectly sized and symmetrical, creating a stunning diamond pattern.
