Plastic bottle spoon

There is always a plastic bottle, regardless of whether you are in the country or on a camping trip, but we often forget to take a spoon or fork with us. To eat with your hands - you won’t; to use the bark of trees - is not hygienic, but everyone can make a spoon in a few minutes from a plastic bottle for water. A small spoon for one person is done in 2-5 minutes, then it is not necessary to wash and take it with you - you can just throw it away.

So, let's figure out the process by watching the author’s video:


Required tool list:
- a plastic bottle of any volume;
- stationery knife or scissors, a regular table knife is also suitable;
- lighter;

If you have a felt-tip pen, eyeliner or lipstick on hand, you can use them to draw a shape on a plastic bottle that you will need to cut out later.

It is worth noting that up to five small spoons can be obtained from one plastic bottle.

Start cutting a half liter bottle, just above its middle. The deep part of the spoon will be one of the recesses at the bottom. Do not make the spoon handle too small and narrow. It is better to take material with a margin from the beginning, you can always trim the excess later.

When the similarity of the spoon in your hands is already cut out, you can begin to form the handle. I already wrote above that you should not regret plastic on the handle of a spoon, initially it should be the same size with the place where the spoon has a recess.

Start bending the edges of the handle inward. As a result, you should get a round handle, and a recess at the end for food. In a tube, the handle is wrapped to give it rigidity.

The last step we will need to seal the edges of the spoon with a lighter. First of all, solder the plastic at the end of the handle, where we rolled the edges of the spoon. This is done so that the edge of the handle does not unscrew, and we could not get hurt by an acute angle from the handle. Then we pass the lighter along all the edges of the spoon. This is done so that we cannot cut ourselves with the sharp edge of the plastic bottle, the fire melts the edge of the bottle and rounds it.

Everyone knows that crafts Handmade can save a huge amount of money. With a plastic bottle, you can not spend money not only on disposable spoons, but also on other disposable dishes. Use your knowledge in any convenient situation, and you will certainly become the soul of the company, a person who will always be taken with you, just because you can make the most incredible things out of simple things.
