Ready to drop those water bottles in the cooler, but you are worried that the labels you spent a lot of time and money on will fall apart as soon as the ice melts? Fear not… you can have water bottles that match your color scheme that are cute AND waterproof!

Doing your party in black and white? What about Zebra Duck Tape?

Going with an animal print theme? Combine the zebra bottles with some leopard ones!

Now, Duck Tape is actually a brand of DUCT tape.  When most people think of duct tape, they think of the shiny silver tape used in duct work in the ceiling – well, not anymore.  Duck Tape brand duct tape now comes in a lot of fun colors and patterns, and people use it for everything from flowers and flags to house shoes and prom dresses!

Anyhew – the whole point of duct tape is that it is weather proof – perfect for the cooler full of ice and water!

These never made it into the cooler, but they could have!  Next time you have a party and you want your water to match your party theme AND to be cold, try some colorful duct tape.

1. Remove the original water label

2. Unroll about 8 inches of duct tape. Cut.

3. Line up the edge of the tape with the grooves in the bottle where the label used to be

4. Wrap tape around the bottle until the edges overlap

Duct tape comes in rolls and sheets with various patterns, so let your imagination run wild with all the things you can do.  For ideas, or to share your own, go to http://www.duckbrand.com. Here are some of the patterns available.

Got a denim theme? They’ve got tape for that…

How about preppy? Try out some argyle to go with those socks.

Feeling the 70’s? Maybe the 80’s? Tie Die or paint splatters… will those work?

There are even more in the stores including NFL licensed tape! You know I have some… I’ll post pics as soon as we have a football party…
