Bottle holder

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

My bottle holder came about because I would go to a casino and get a bottle of water while playing the slots and I didn't have any place to put my bottle of water.

I first sewed a band of elastic to my fanny pack, which worked, but the bottle would slip out of the elastic strap and there were times when I had my purse instead of the fanny pack. Out of necessity, I decided to devise a bottle holder that could be used on either my purse or fanny pack.

I decorate the bottle holders with sequins, jewels, and glitter for more appeal to the ladies, and I make the bottle holders plain for the men to attach to their belt or belt loop.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention as claimed is to carry a beverage bottle or can when attached to a fanny pack strap, purse handle, belt or belt loop.
