Saw it, Pinned it, Did it…Monogrammed Water Bottle

Linking up today with Stephanie and Katie for Saw it, Pinned it, Did it! Are you ready for the easiest gift idea ever?

This week Hudson was moved up to the next room at daycare. My baby is growing up too fast! As a thank you, I wanted to make a little gift for Morgan, the girl who was his primary caregiver each day.

So I made this super easy and cute monogrammed water bottle for her! Morgan is young and likes to workout, so I knew she could put this to good use.

Here is the original pin.

You will need a bpa free water bottle (I got mine from Target) and a vinyl monogram. I ordered this monogram from the fabulous Crystal Faye.

First, make sure your water bottle is clean and dry. Then line up your vinyl….I just eyeballed mine.

Then use a credit card to secure the vinyl and push out any air bubbles.

I chose red and grey because those are the colors of the shirts at daycare. I also added a polka dot bow just for fun!

Wrap it up and you have the perfect gift. Morgan loved it!

Hudson was excited to move up to his new room with babies that can sit up and some that can crawl….this mommy is NOT ready for that!
Make sure you link up!

    What a great idea…and super cute! This is such a nice alternative to baked goods or food, which I'm guilty of giving away often as a 'thank you'. Your little is so adorable!

    That is so cute and such a great gift! I love that you and do it yourself because monogrammed stuff can get expensive!

    So cute! I have one of those water bottles and I'm obsessed with it. Looks like I need to go ahead and get a monogram to put on it! A monogram makes everything 100 times better right?

    Hudson is so cute and what a sweet and thoughtful gift! It's so nice of you to think of something she could use and to personalize it was just over the top.
