How to make a broom.
First, Wash out the bottles with soapy water. Remove any labels And let them dry.
Second, slice the bottom off each soda bottle.
Third, cut thin strips along the bottom of the first bottle. Use the scissors to cut strips that are approximately 1/2 inch/1cm long. Leave approximately 2 inches/5cm of bottle between the bottle neck and the strip top.
Fourth, remove the bottom of the next bottle. Be sure you cut the bottle using the same determine as you did the first bottle; the broom bottom must line up once it's assembled.
Fifth, cut the same sized strips up the sides of the bottle, leaving enough room between the top strips and the bottle neck.
Sixth, slice the top off the second bottle.
Seventh, slide the first bottle underneath the second bottle so they are joined as one. The first bottle neck should fit nicely through the cut hole you created in the second bottle.
Finally, slice the top off the third bottle. The top for your broom will be made from the third bottle.
Cut the bottle two-thirds of the way up from the bottom of the bottle. Leave enough space to hold the other two bottles in place.
How to make assemble the broom.
First, slide the cut bottle top from the third bottle over the two previously joined, shredded bottles.
Next, pound one nail into the right side of the third bottle. The nail must poke through the third bottle plastic and also pierce the other two bottles.
Then, pound another nail into the left side of the third bottle. Space the nails evenly, leaving enough room in the middle to slide the stick or broom handle through the bottle opening.
After that, slide the stick or broom handle through the opening of the bottle until a third of the handle is through.
Finally, tap the third nail through the stick/broom handle to secure it in place.
