We all know that staying hydrated is essential to maintaining good health. We also appreciate having stylish drink bottles to make the experience just a touch more special.
If you have grandchildren who are up-to-date with the trends or have encountered viral social media posts, you might have heard about the famous Frank Green bottles.
These designer bottles are highly sought-after for their aesthetics and insulation capabilities, but unfortunately, they come with a hefty price tag – enough to make a frugal shopper wince.
But don't sweat, we've got fantastic news! A thrifty and creative mum has found a way to recreate the style of a Frank Green bottle without breaking the bank using an affordable alternative from Kmart.
Kmart's $15 insulated stainless steel water bottles have recently gained attention for their striking resemblance to the designer Frank Green bottles. These bargain buys are available in an array of colours like slate, fluro pink, olive, and coral, and they promise to keep your drinks warm or cold for up to six hours.
A quick look through Frank Green's website shows their reusable drink bottles starting at $39.95, making Kmart's option a much more wallet-friendly choice. You can read more about the product here in this article!
However, some customers find that Kmart's insulated bottles appear somewhat plain. That's when resourceful Aussies like DIY enthusiast Amanda stepped up and shared their clever bottle-customising idea.
Introducing the 'Fake Green' concept, Amanda showed off her masterpiece in a popular Facebook group. Utilising her trusty Cricut machine (available for sale in retail stores such as BIG W, JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, and Harvey Norman) and the Monogram Maker feature in the Design Space software, she crafted a logo very similar to the Frank Green design, but with a cheeky twist—changing the name to 'Fake Green' instead!
A flood of positive comments and reactions followed her post, where fellow parents and creative minds appreciated and applauded her ingenuity. One comment from an impressed member read: 'This is my favourite thing EVER. You're a literal genius.'
Not only did her post entertain the group members, but it also inspired several people to try the DIY project themselves. People in the group were even interested in purchasing knock-off labels from Amanda, with some asking, 'Can I buy some of these labels from you?' and 'Are these for sale?'
Amanda's resourcefulness showcases the versatility of Kmart's affordable insulated water bottles, proving that glamour doesn't always have to come with a hefty price tag.
So, Seniors Discount Club members, the next time you need a stylish water bottle but don't want to pay designer prices, consider following her lead. Who knows? You might just become the envy of your grandkids or the talk of your social circle with your unique 'Fake Green' bottle.
Happy hydrating and even happier crafting, everyone!
