Plastic bottles - waste material for the most diverse creativity. That just does not come up with craftsmen from this, in fact, the garbage! Imagination just limitless: from the usual furniture to the stunning garden sculptures. There are among these homemade and very useful things. Many are made of plastic, very practical brooms. But Sergey and Marina Novoselova invented the broom of this material, which was called "fire." How did they do it and why it is so named his invention - in its master class for HouseChief edition.
Greetings to all masters and mistresses! My husband and I live in the country. We have a small area. Every autumn foliage from the garden throws the whole yard. Every year I buy a new broom. They just can not stand more than one season, it is a fact. And now, in anticipation of the next leaf fall occurred to me one idea: to make a broom from poltorashek. In the network a lot of master classes on knitting brooms made of this material, but cleaning the yard brooms are ineffective because they are too soft. Prut broom must be quite hard, because the foliage, especially after rain, hard. Sergey figured out how to make plastic rods resilient enough for our purpose. The whole process we were doing, so get a small workshop, which, I hope someone can come in handy.
Production of plastic bottles rods
We were about 20 plastic bottles, 14 of them - from my mineral water and 6, whose guess, from the beer. This is just enough for our idea.
strip width can be adjusted. For brooms we cut to 12-14 mm, it is enough.
An important tool for making rods - construction hairdryer. Only with the help of high-temperature plastics can be made slightly poltorashek oplavitsya and deformed. Because we called the broom "fire", so how can not cope without a spark. Instead, the dryer can try to do the bars over the stove or gas burner, but to control the degree of heating will be more difficult.
Rods are ready, you can begin to assemble the broom.
Assembling a broom in 5 minutes
In the garden broom must be sturdy and easy cutting. It is better to come up with hard wood, the more so as the time to it the easiest way to fix our rods.
As "razlohmatit" broom to increase the cleaning area
Broom was a good and quite tough, but the bars sit too tight and clean the area is too small. How to fix it? Will have "razlohmatit" rods, straighten them with respect to the cutting.
I do not know about you, but I really liked the result. I have tried a new thing in the case. Her husband laughed at my enthusiasm and promised to give me a pointed hat. I do not know what he meant?
Thanks to Sergey and Marina for an interesting idea! With it, the world would be a little cleaner in every sense of the word. A heat-treated plastic strips, however, become quite rigid, while retaining elasticity. To supplement this material, we have chosen for you a video on making butylkoreza. With the help of this device you will quickly narezhete plastic strip on the desired width:
The impressions from the idea of Marina and Sergei, you can describe in the comments. We are also waiting for you to interesting articles under the heading "not a woman's business." Send us your photos and the description of work. The most interesting materials we will publish!
