Kitchen Scoop

In this instructable I'm going to show you how to make a scoop out of a milk or juice container.

It's very helpful to have something like this in the kitchen. I use it all the time when making smoothies, I already know how many scoops I need to make the perfect smoothie.

I know you could buy these at the store, but it's very rewarding to make something out of stuff that you'll throw to the trash or recycle bin.


​Gather Your Materials

At the bottom of the handle, draw an inverted triangle, with round corners, using the dry erase marker.

Take your time to make it symmetrical, if you make a mistake the marker will erase easily.

Cut

Once you are happy with the shape, cut the jug using the scissors. This plastic is very easy to cut.

Erase

Finally erase the marker and wash it again. Wait until it's completely dry to use it.

Now I´ll save all the milk jugs to make many more until I have one scoop for each jar.
