I have a large supply of pet bottles, I thought of making something out of them. Can't think of anything? It occurred to me to make them such a floating plate for water (if they tied together) and it could be a lot of fun at the dam in the summer. Don't know what else to do?

1 Answer

Answer :

Well, I don't know if it's a good idea with that float board. Petky is too light, it does not hold the human body. I don't think it would be much fun. But I recently saw at one foreign station that they could be used to make brooms for sweeping outside, and it worked. But I don't know how to explain it to you. It was a few petks cut into strips down to the top line and then shoved into each other. About four on one broom. Then the handle went down. Even the girl who made it up used the screw on the plug to secure the handle. Somehow she fixed it from the inside. It was ingenious. He wants to think about it and try it.
