That’s what I’m trying to remember these hot summer days. I rarely get thirsty so drinking water is something I have to do intentionally. I’ll get to the end of a day and realize I didn’t drink enough of anything, especially H2O!
To help remember, I made a little drink counter for on my fridge.
I cut one of these plastic wine glasses in half.
Actually, I wanted a little less than half on my fridge so I cut just a smidge off center. It was easier than I thought using a craft saw. I didn’t rush the process and cut the top of the cup first, then the base to match.
Once the top and base were glued together, I used E6000 jewelry glue to attach a strong magnet to the back of the base.
The drink counters are half-marbles from the floral department at Michaels. I recycled old magnets from my fridge by painting them white, including painting over rickrack that was glued around each magnet. The half-marbles were glued on with E6000 jewelry glue.
This is the first water counter I’ve ever made that actually works. It’s easy to see that I haven’t been drinking enough throughout the day. And the cup looks cute filling up with marbles.
What??? There is only one water drop in that cup? And I took all the photos and posted to my blog? Time to drink more water!
what a great idea!
Thank you kindly!
