Tips, Tools & Techniques - Milk Bottle Scoop!!

Hello! Its time for our new post on Tips, Tools & Techniques (as the title suggests!). We hope to share things that have caught our eye, things we have Pinned, and things we have tried. These are probably not going to change your life(!) but might make it a bit easier...

Here's a quick and easy way to reuse your plastic bottles!

Take a used plastic milk bottle (this one is 2 litres), remove labels, wash and dry....

Cut the bottle in half lengthways and then shape so you are left with a scoop and handle

And that's it...a handy scoop, created for free in under a minute!
I'm sure there are 101 ways that this scoop could be used... I use mine for scooping compost from the big bag and it comes in handy when filling smaller pots etc. Check out the different designs made by A Farm of Your Home the possibilities are endless!

If you have any Tips, Tools & Techniques of your own please feel free to get in touch with us to see if we can add them. The more the merrier!

    Neat! You could cut it with the handle on top, glue the lid on and have a feed scoop too! Very crafty & thrifty!
