Hanging Water Bottle Holder Anthony Z. 8 years old Mississippi, USA

Step 1-Think It! When sitting outside on our porch, we have to place cups in a cup holder, which is made into the arm of the chair, or we have to place cups on the ground. The problem is that we have only one chair that has a cup holder made into it. I am inventing a cup holder that hangs from the ceiling next to the chair. This cup holder can be used next to any chair.

Step 2-Explore it At Houzz.com, I found a picture of a cup storage rack with pegs for cups to hang on when they are not being used. At Amazon.com, I found a chrome cup or mug holder that fits under a shelf and holds cups when they are not in use.

Step 3- Sketch It

Step 4-Create It! I gathered supplies: three camping water bottle holders, a stapler, and a bungee cord with a spring snap link hook on each end. I stapled the ribbon on the back of the bottle holders to keep them from slipping and falling off of the metal hook.

I put the water bottle holders together on the metal hook.

This is the finished invention, the Hanging Cup Holder.

This is the Hanging Water Bottle Holder with three water bottles in it.

Step 5 –Try It The first time I tested the Hanging Water Bottle Holder the holders fell off. After stapling the ribbons on the back of each holder, the invention worked, but it will hold only bottles and not cups. Sometimes, a water bottle falls out of it.

Step 6-Tweak It I stapled the ribbons on the back of the water bottle holders because the first time I tested the Hanging Water Bottle Holder, the holders fell off.

Step 7-Sell It!
