Stand sideways in front of the wickets with your knees slightly bent and your head turned towards the bowler. Bend at your hips but keep your back straight. Your non-dominant elbow should be pointing in the direction of the bowler as you hold the bat. Don't let your shoulders drop. Keep them as straight as you can as you're batting. Stay on the balls of your feet while you're hitting. Your eyes and shoulders should be level. Keep your eyes on the ball at all times. Your non-dominant, or lead hand, should be over the end of the bat's grip holding it tightly. Your dominant hand should be below it with a loose 2-finger and thumb grip. Both hands should be close together and the paddle should feel comfortable in your hands. Your knuckles on your non-dominant hand should be facing the bowler and your backhand or dominant hand's knuckles should be facing the catcher. Making a line in the turf in the position of the middle wicket is known as making a guard and will give you some awareness to where the wickets are positioned as you're batting. Put the tip of your bat in the turf and make a line so that it runs parallel with the middle wicket. If you are practicing inside, you can use a piece of tape to make your guard line.

Summary: Stand sideways to the bowler with your feet a shoulder-width apart. Hold the bat tight with both hands. Make a line in the turf where the middle wicket is.

Drink the water in 2 bottles or empty them into another container. Use a utility knife to make your cut. Hold the bottle securely with your non-dominant hand against a cutting board, and poke the tip of the blade through the bottle and work halfway around the bottle. Do the same cut on the other bottle. Be careful when handling a utility knife. Use a 14 inch (0.64cm) drill bit meant for plastic. Make a row of holes around the bottle 12 inch (1.3cm) above the cut. Once you finish making the first row, drill 2-3 more rows above it, spacing them 14 inch (0.64cm) apart. Alternatively, use a soldering gun to melt the holes through the plastic. Make sure your fan is turned off before tying your bottles. Feed a wire or string through 2 of the holes in each bottle. Wrap the string around the fan grating and tie a knot to secure them. To keep them in place, tie another string around the bottles' nozzles. Tie one bottle on each side of the motor compartment of the fan. Lift the bottom of the bottle up so you can fit ice cubes inside the cut. Fill the bottle to just below the holes. Turn your fan on high and point it towards the area you want to cool down. The fan will pull the cold air from the bottles through the holes you drilled. Since the bottles are attached to the fan, you can use the oscillating feature if your fan has one. When the ice starts to melt, hold a bowl underneath the bottle nozzle. Twist off the cap so the water pours into the bowl. Screw the cap back on the bottle before draining the other. To continue using your bottles, simply add more ice.

Summary: Cut halfway around 2 empty water bottles 1in (2.5cm) up from the bottom. Drill multiple holes above the cuts 14in (0.64cm) apart from one another. Tie the bottles upside-down to the back of your fan with string or wire. Put ice cubes inside the bottles and turn on your fan. Drain the melted ice into a bowl.

You can create your design by drawing it freehand, using a stencil, or even using a die-cutting machine if you have one. Outdoor vinyl is waterproof, making it the best choice for use on drinkware. You can purchase outdoor vinyl at a craft or home supply store. Die-cutting machines often have pre-programmed designs for you to choose from, but you may be able to create an original design by experimenting with the software. Try tracing out letters to create a monogram, or use different colors of vinyl to create colorful hearts or polka dots. Once you have the design how you want it, carefully cut along the edges. Use caution when cutting with scissors or a craft knife, and never allow small children to handle sharp objects. Transfer tape is made to help you apply decals evenly. Lay your vinyl decal so that it's facing up, then carefully apply a strip of transfer tape over the top of the entire decal. If your decal has more than one piece, arrange the pieces exactly how you want them, then apply the transfer tape. This will help ensure they are spaced properly when you apply the decal to the tumbler. You can purchase transfer tape at almost any craft store. Once you've removed the backing, pick up the piece of transfer tape and lay it on the tumbler with the sticky side of the vinyl facing down. It may help to have the tumbler laying on its side so you can see exactly where you're applying the decal. Press firmly on the vinyl to ensure it's fully adhered to the tumbler. If the vinyl decal doesn't lay flat, it won't stick properly to the tumbler. If you notice any bubbles or wrinkles, you can smooth them out with your fingers or with the end of a credit card. Once you remove the transfer tape, your design is finished! The outdoor vinyl should be long-lasting, although you may want to wash your tumbler by hand to help preserve your decal.
Summary: Trace your design on a sheet of outdoor vinyl. Cut out your applique using sharp scissors or a craft knife. Lay transfer tape over the top of your graphic. Peel the backing off of the vinyl and press it onto the tumbler. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles in the vinyl. Remove the transfer tape and enjoy your new tumbler!
