so guys it’s not a pretty cool idea floating around the internet and that
floating around the internet and that
floating around the internet and that was to take plastic bottles and cut them
was to take plastic bottles and cut them
was to take plastic bottles and cut them out and use them for spoons bowls and
out and use them for spoons bowls and
out and use them for spoons bowls and funnels which is a really cool idea
funnels which is a really cool idea
funnels which is a really cool idea except the spoons that I saw being made
except the spoons that I saw being made
except the spoons that I saw being made looked very very weak so I thought today
looked very very weak so I thought today
looked very very weak so I thought today we would try the idea see what
we would try the idea see what
we would try the idea see what modifications we can make and share
modifications we can make and share
modifications we can make and share those ideas with you now I don’t usually
those ideas with you now I don’t usually
those ideas with you now I don’t usually drink soda but when I do I drink root
drink soda but when I do I drink root
drink soda but when I do I drink root beer but it’s not really going to matter
beer but it’s not really going to matter
beer but it’s not really going to matter which bottle you use as long as it’s got
which bottle you use as long as it’s got
which bottle you use as long as it’s got these little knobby things on the end
these little knobby things on the end
these little knobby things on the end you can see there are five little knobby
you can see there are five little knobby
you can see there are five little knobby crowns on the bottom and the coke bottle
crowns on the bottom and the coke bottle
crowns on the bottom and the coke bottle and the standard soda bottle are a
and the standard soda bottle are a
and the standard soda bottle are a little bit different but that’s not
little bit different but that’s not
little bit different but that’s not going to make much of a difference by
going to make much of a difference by
going to make much of a difference by the time we’re done with it now there
the time we’re done with it now there
the time we’re done with it now there are a couple of different ways that you
are a couple of different ways that you
are a couple of different ways that you could approach this if you want to make
could approach this if you want to make
could approach this if you want to make a spoon you’re gonna have to use the
a spoon you’re gonna have to use the
a spoon you’re gonna have to use the entire length of the bottle including
entire length of the bottle including
entire length of the bottle including one of these knobby things and I’ll show
one of these knobby things and I’ll show
one of these knobby things and I’ll show you how to do that in a second but
you how to do that in a second but
you how to do that in a second but instead let’s start off with something
instead let’s start off with something
instead let’s start off with something simple let’s start off by making a bowl
simple let’s start off by making a bowl
simple let’s start off by making a bowl now check this out if you look really
now check this out if you look really
now check this out if you look really closely near the bottom here you can
closely near the bottom here you can
closely near the bottom here you can actually see there’s already a line
actually see there’s already a line
actually see there’s already a line drawn for you so if you take something
drawn for you so if you take something
drawn for you so if you take something like a knife or a pair of scissors and
like a knife or a pair of scissors and
like a knife or a pair of scissors and just cut along that line it instantly
just cut along that line it instantly
just cut along that line it instantly transformed your soda bottle into a nice
transformed your soda bottle into a nice
transformed your soda bottle into a nice makeshift Bowl let’s move on to making
makeshift Bowl let’s move on to making
makeshift Bowl let’s move on to making the spoons next these little nubs at the
the spoons next these little nubs at the
the spoons next these little nubs at the bottom of the soda bottle are gonna make
bottom of the soda bottle are gonna make
bottom of the soda bottle are gonna make the actual spoon the rest of its going
the actual spoon the rest of its going
the actual spoon the rest of its going to form the handle and this is how it’s
to form the handle and this is how it’s
to form the handle and this is how it’s going to work this is a spoon I made it
going to work this is a spoon I made it
going to work this is a spoon I made it from a previous bottle and I’m just
from a previous bottle and I’m just
from a previous bottle and I’m just using it as a guide here so it all
using it as a guide here so it all
using it as a guide here so it all starts by sketching out a spoon pattern
starts by sketching out a spoon pattern
starts by sketching out a spoon pattern on the bottle you don’t want to go all
on the bottle you don’t want to go all
on the bottle you don’t want to go all the way to the bottom you want to cut
the way to the bottom you want to cut
the way to the bottom you want to cut about halfway up and just make it look
about halfway up and just make it look
about halfway up and just make it look as close to a spoon shape as you can and
as close to a spoon shape as you can and
as close to a spoon shape as you can and then go ahead and cut it out with a pair
then go ahead and cut it out with a pair
then go ahead and cut it out with a pair of scissors when you’ve got all of your
of scissors when you’ve got all of your
of scissors when you’ve got all of your spoons drawn go ahead and cut the top of
spoons drawn go ahead and cut the top of
spoons drawn go ahead and cut the top of the bottle off and you can reuse this as
the bottle off and you can reuse this as
the bottle off and you can reuse this as a funnel so it’s not actually garbage it
a funnel so it’s not actually garbage it
a funnel so it’s not actually garbage it can be useful you can use this for
can be useful you can use this for
can be useful you can use this for filling your car up with gasoline
filling your car up with gasoline
filling your car up with gasoline transferring water back into a tank it’s
transferring water back into a tank it’s
transferring water back into a tank it’s even got a screw on and screw off lid so
even got a screw on and screw off lid so
even got a screw on and screw off lid so if you need to you can hold material in
if you need to you can hold material in
if you need to you can hold material in here until you need to let it out now
here until you need to let it out now
here until you need to let it out now that we’ve got the top cut off we can
that we’ve got the top cut off we can
that we’ve got the top cut off we can very easily access our stencil lines
very easily access our stencil lines
very easily access our stencil lines here so let’s go ahead and cut them out
here so let’s go ahead and cut them out
here so let’s go ahead and cut them out one by one
we ended up with five different spoons
we ended up with five different spoons that look pretty cool
that look pretty cool
that look pretty cool there’s still a little bit rough so you
there’s still a little bit rough so you
there’s still a little bit rough so you might just want to go around and clean
might just want to go around and clean
might just want to go around and clean up the edges one more time with a pair
up the edges one more time with a pair
up the edges one more time with a pair of scissors and they will get you by it
of scissors and they will get you by it
of scissors and they will get you by it a pinch however there is a problem with
a pinch however there is a problem with
a pinch however there is a problem with them now these spoons do look pretty
them now these spoons do look pretty
them now these spoons do look pretty cool and it’s a great idea however
cool and it’s a great idea however
cool and it’s a great idea however they’re extremely flimsy you guys you
they’re extremely flimsy you guys you
they’re extremely flimsy you guys you can’t pick anything up with this spoon

you put in your cereal and it’s just
you put in your cereal and it’s just going to flop over and you can’t pick
going to flop over and you can’t pick
going to flop over and you can’t pick anything up but there is a simple little
anything up but there is a simple little
anything up but there is a simple little trick you can do to actually make it
