Today, I’m sharing two simple and economical tips for your daily life. These ingenious ideas use materials that you probably already have at home, such as PET bottles. Whether it’s to feed your chickens or to transport your eggs safely, these tips will make your life easier!


Tip #1: Make a chicken feeder

Materials needed:

  • A large PET bottle (the bigger the better)
  • A strong string or rope (such as mason’s twine)
  • A pot lid (or any other support)
  • A soldering iron or hole punching tool
  • Chicken feed (or corn)

Manufacturing steps:

  1. Prepare the bottle  : Make cuts in the bottom of the PET bottle. These cuts will allow the food to flow out gradually.
  2. Making Holes  : Using a soldering iron, poke a hole in the bottom of the bottle and two holes at the top to attach the string.
  3. Attach the string  : Securely attach the string to the bottle by tying tight knots.
  4. Set up the feeder  : Hang the bottle from a support (like a pot lid) and fill it with chicken feed. The chickens will peck at it and the feed will flow out as it goes.

Benefits :

  • Economical: use recycled materials.
  • Practical: no need to constantly refill the feeders.
  • Adaptable: Adjust the size of the notches to control the flow of food.

Tip #2: Transport eggs safely

Materials needed:

  • A 2 liter PET bottle
  • Alcohol (for sterilization)
  • Eggs

Manufacturing steps:

  1. Prepare the bottle  : Remove the label and wash the bottle thoroughly.
  2. Make an opening  : Using a cutting tool, cut an opening in the side of the bottle. Make sure your hand can easily fit in to place the eggs.
  3. Sterilize  : Clean the inside of the bottle with alcohol to prevent mold growth.
  4. Storing the eggs  : Gently place the eggs into the bottle. A 2-liter bottle can hold about 20 eggs.
  5. Close and transport  : Close the bottle and transport your eggs safely, without risk of breakage.

Benefits :

  • Secure: the eggs are well protected.
  • Eco-friendly: reuse a plastic bottle.
  • Practical: ideal for travel or storage.

Why are these tips great?

  • Economical  : They use recycled and inexpensive materials.
  • Easy to make  : No special skills required.
  • Useful in everyday life  : Whether for your animals or for your shopping, these tips make life easier.
