✔ WATER TUBE LEVEL (from Scraps) ✔

This is a super easy and fast to make tool and it is 100 % recycled. 
This water level is really useful for example when you need to paint a room of two different color horizontally, or you need to find the same level of two things far apart from each over, like two shelfs, or two paintings.

WHAT YOU NEED

You only need two small transparent plastic bottle, a used bike tire (without any holes) and a pair of scissors.

CUT THE BOTTLES

ASSEMBLE IT

DONE

Is ready!
Is easier to use in two people (or otherwise you need to make an hole in one of the bottle and hang it up on a neil on the wall).

Hold them both FIRM on the wall for few second and mark the water level with a pencil.

The water level is always constant (communicating vessels principle).
