One of the global problems of a consultative society is waste disposal. Proper use of household waste will help you not only make the environment much cleaner, but also solve many problems without much effort and cost. We want to give you one of such useful tips on how to properly dispose of plastic bottles, and what can be done from them.
Plastic bottle tape:
From plastic bottle You can do a lot of useful things, and one of these simple crafts is a very strong ribbon.
Figure No. 1 - Tape from a plastic bottle From one plastic bottle, about ten meters of such a tape will be obtained (depending on the thickness). And you can cut such a tape not only with scissors, I recommend you make a special device, a machine for cutting tape from a plastic bottle.
Figure No. 2 - Machine for cutting tape from a plastic bottle In order to make it, you will need a paper knife blade, a wooden stand, two bolts, two nuts and about fourteen wide washers.
First you need to mark out your platform, to do this, attach two washers (leave a gap of about two millimeters between them) and drill holes with a suitable drill.
Figure number 3 - We mark the workpiece 
Figure number 4 - Drilling two holes After we insert the bolts into the hole and put on a couple of washers (the number of washers put on you adjust the height of the knife and thereby the width of the resulting plastic tape).
Figure No. 5 - Insert the bolts into the holes 
Figure No. 6 - We put washers on the bolts 
Figure No. 7 - We put the blade on the bolt Be careful, the blade is very sharp, do not cut yourself! Having put on the blade and installed it in such a way that it could be clamped with washers, put a few washers on top of each bolt (five pieces)
Figure No. 8 - We fix the blade with washers and tighten the nuts tightly I had washers of a narrow diameter, and I didn’t want to break the blade from the knife, but in general I recommend taking a narrow blade and wide washers so that it is well hidden there and you don’t cut yourself on the blade. And also remember that the nuts must be tightened very tight so that your blade does not vomit!
Everything is done very simply, you just need to cut the bottle and pass it through the blade.
Figure No. 9 - Passing the bottle through the blade 
Figure No. 10 - Pulling the bottle through the machine 
Figure No. 11 - Thin tape cut from a plastic bottle Well, what to make of such a plastic tape, you already decide for yourself. For example, you can weave something (a keychain or a small animal).
An empty container is unrolled into a strip of the required width, after which it is used in this form or passed through a spinneret to form thin tubes.
The simplest model
Arrange production possible in any conditions with a minimum of components:
- a wooden block with approximate dimensions of 2x20x10 cm;
- metal washers 10-12 pcs. with a diameter of 20-25 mm and a thickness of 1-1.5 mm for M6 bolts;
- a pair of M6 bolts 30-35 mm long;
- two nuts M6;
- blade from a construction knife or pencil shavings.
As additional items, you can buy a clamp for fixing the machine and mount a guide axis into the bar, equal to the height of an empty plastic bottle.
In order for this equipment worked flawlessly, it needs to be properly assembled and configured.
In a wooden plank, we make two holes with a diameter of 6.5 mm for bolts at a distance of approximately 27-29 mm with a diameter of washers of 25 mm. This will result in a gap of 3-4 mm between the washers.
We clamp the knife at a certain height in a horizontal view, as a result, the distance between the blade and the wooden plank will correspond to the width of the plastic tape.
Step by step production process in the photo below.
Model with cuts
Can do it yourselfcutting machine. A wooden or aluminum bar with a section of 30x30 mm and a length of 15-20 cm is suitable for it. The depth of cut corresponds to the width of the future tape.
Materials required for work:
- bar;
- self-tapping screws for fastening in metal or wood;
- stationery or construction knife;
- threaded axle with two wing nuts.
This equipment used for manual, not stationary work. After making the cuts, you will need to clean the resulting grooves with sandpaper or a small file / needle file.
A knife in a similar configuration is attached to the top of the bar, covering the poses. To fix it, self-tapping screws are used, which are screwed through the holes in the knife blade.
On video step by step guide for production homemade machine for cutting plastic bottles.
First, see how to cut a plastic bottle into neat strips with a simple tool in this Science Vetal video. The following shows alternative designs.
Smooth strips from a PVC bottle
It is shown how to make a cutter from a bar using the example of the author's product presented on the SergeyTron v2.0 channel. The mechanism of work is considered. You will need: a clerical knife, a bar about 50 x 50 x 150 mm, a pin at least 350 mm, two screws, two washers and a piece plastic pipe 200 mm.
The available material is.
Saw the bar into two pieces 100 millimeters and 50 millimeters long. The first will go to the cutter, and the second to the ribs.
Let's start with the pin. First, a little about its slope. The greater the width of the strip, the more active the bottle goes on the cutter. The pin should be tilted. Do not overdo it, it will be difficult to pull the strip, and the cut will be bored. If you do not make a slope, then the strip will lie on the bottom of the cut and will not become even, it will break off.
You can drill a hole at a slant, straight and make a bent 4. This slant 4 trick is a must for those who want to cut a flat strip on a bar cutter. On this device, the slope is 7 degrees. Nozzle from a plastic pipe. A strip 5-10 mm wide is cut. 10 - 15 mm without nozzle. If you do not want to suffer with the pin, then you need to make the cutters sound like bars so that you can replace the bored cuts.
This video tutorial shows how to cut a plastic bottle into even strips using a reliable jig. This cutter is about 1 year old. He made it in his master as experimental, but it cuts perfectly even, it is not necessary to redo it. The secrets of this miracle is that the blade is in the middle of the cut, so that it will or will not jump before the cut. It's kind of like a guide.
I cut it at an angle, and adjust the blade with nootropil to right size ribbons. A strip of cut on one end of 10 mm. And on the other 9 mm.
The author made this design by accident, without calculations. But the main thing for leveling the strip is not the cutter, but the preparation of the plastic bottle before that. A regular sheet of A4 is taken. On one side, draw in a tape of the desired size 9.5 mm. Another cutter option.
How to cut a bottle straight. 2. On both sides, in the conical parts, you can place bases from plastic bottles and fix them with plastic rivets (Fig. 4). Required: bottle, skein of thread, cologne, matches and cold water. In the right place of the bottle, we densely wind the thread, wetting it abundantly with cologne and setting it on fire.
New amazing PROPERTIES of PLASTIC BOTTLE - heat shrink. And how to make panicles from these ribbons, brushes on. Persuade to buy these machines. If you need an even stronger rope, several ribbons can be woven together, for example with a pigtail. In this simple way, you can get out of a difficult situation.
One of the global problems of a consultative society is waste disposal. We want to give you one of such useful tips on how to properly dispose of plastic bottles, and what can be done from them.
Idea: Machines for extracting rope from plastic bottles
Everything is done very simply, you just need to cut the bottle and pass it through the blade. Then you just need to pull the stretched edge. Attention, the plastic bottle itself can also cut you, I recommend working with protective gloves and being extremely careful.
How to properly cut a 5 liter plastic bottle.
Find out in our new video hack. We all know how easy it is to cut a plastic bottle, many of us have done it hundreds of times. And if you need to cut not plastic, but glass bottle can you do it?
Rotating the bottle around an axis parallel to the ground, you must wait 2-3 minutes and pour water onto the flame. The bottle will burst evenly.
HOW TO CUT A BOTTLE AND WHAT YOU CAN MAKE FROM IT
A thin ribbon can be cut even from a corrugated bottle complex shape, while achieving a high degree of utilization of the plastic bottle. 1. Two plastic bottles of arbitrary size for the coil. 2. Plastic bottles for cutting the tape, the longer the tape you want to get, the more bottles You'll need.
If there is no suitable coil, then it is elementary to make it yourself from two neck parts of plastic bottles. Covers are connected with plastic rivets.
The number of connection points is at least 3, this is necessary for “non-rotation” while screwing in the conical parts of the bottles. The method of making such a strong braid has long been known - spiral cutting a ribbon of the desired width with scissors from a plastic bottle.
On this coil, you can wind not only plastic braid, but also, for example, stranded wire. 4. A plastic coil is also convenient because enamelled electrical winding wires can be wound on it.
The operator's work will consist only in installing the bottle and removing the finished coils of tapes from collapsible spools. Another would be to him a machine that would weave something from these tapes, for example, nets for hammocks. good fit, but there are not so many bottles with an even cylindrical part of the same thickness, but with corrugated and curved walls, the machine is always worse than hands and scissors.
And once again, an ordinary plastic bottle helps us with this. Well, what to make of such a plastic tape, you already decide for yourself. For example, you can weave something (a keychain or a small animal).
Mesh fence - netting
The knot can be melted, and such a tape itself also has excellent heat-shrink properties. Next, we put three washers on the bolts (in the future, with the help of these washers we will adjust the thickness of the tape), put the blade on top, put one more washer and clamp it with “lambs”.
You can store the cut tape on a special reel, which is very easy to make. Someone "completed the task and forgot", and diligent housewives continue to delight their families with fresh greenery "from the windowsill".

How to cut a bottle at home lengthwise or into a ribbon
Sometimes even the most ordinary thing can be an excellent material for spectacular and unusual decoration. Such is, for example, a bottle. It's hard to believe, but it can really serve you faithfully. So, now we will tell you about how to cut a bottle at home.
Cut the plastic bottle lengthwise
The simplest example of a cut plastic bottle is a container bed. Making such a cut is not at all difficult.
- To get started, choose a bottle that suits you in size, color and shape.
How to cut twine from a plastic bottle
Then remove the wrapper from it and rinse well.
- Next, use sharp working scissors to remove the neck (under the thread).
- Now take a marker and draw along the entire bottle (along its long circumference) the line of the future cut.
- Well, it remains only to cut your plastic brainchild along the intended line. In the same way, you can cut out only a certain longitudinal part of the bottle, having received such utility in the household:
Cutting a plastic bottle into strips
There is another interesting technique for "butchering" plastic bottles - on a tape.
To work, you will need a bottle, a band-aid, sharp knife(or scissors) and a little attention.
- So, we wash and dry the bottle so that not a drop of old glue from the former label remains on it. I must say that the adhesive plaster in this regard is practically ideal remedy, because he does not move out of the bottle and sticks quite tightly to it.
- We begin to stick the patch above a flat place, because during the initial piercing with scissors, the strip deteriorates a little. When it is completely ready, it will only be necessary to cut off all the uneven sections.
- We glue the tape further to see the width of our strip. Here you can trace another advantage of the patch - it can be corrected at any time, thereby changing the width of the tape.
- When the strip is marked, we begin to slowly cut with scissors along the formed spiral, in other words, along the edge of the patch strip. Speaking of which, you might as well use window duct tape. The result will be the same!
- Thus, the tape can be glued further, but if your eye is sharpened by 100%, then you can do this without gluing.
- Having cut the even part, we simply remove the bottom of the bottle.
- Here's what we ended up with:
- You can make a lot of useful and unusual things from cut ribbons. For example, you can weave a candy bowl or a bowl for cookies.
Is it possible to cut a glass bottle at home?
Of course. And for this you do not need any complicated men's tools. It is enough to prepare:
- glass bottle of your choice and color;
- strong woolen threads;
- any solvent (alcohol, kerosene, acetone, etc.);
- scissors or a sharp clerical knife;
- protective gloves and goggles;
- matches or a lighter;
- deep bowl of cold water.
- We take prepared wool thread, we measure and cut off such a segment of it that it is enough for about three or four turns around our bottle. Next, we immerse this piece of thread in the solvent, and immediately wrap the bottle with it. Of course, we do the winding where it is planned to make an “incision”. If you want, you can simply wrap the thread, or tie it in a knot for reliability.
- Next, we set fire to this thread with a match or a lighter. Please note that at this moment it is recommended to keep the bottle in an inclined position, that is, strictly horizontal to the ground. While the thread is burning, gently scroll the bottle around its axis.
- The flame will burn no more than 40 seconds. As soon as it goes out, immediately lower the bottle into a bowl of cold water.
- Immediately after this, you will hear a very characteristic sound of cracking glass for the human ear. At the same moment, your bottle will fall into two parts. As you probably guessed, the described method is based on the banal school knowledge of physics, which says that with a sharp change in temperature, the glass first expands and then narrows, which is why the fracture occurs.
- Now it remains to grind off the sharp edges of the cut with ordinary sandpaper or a whetstone.
By adding a little imagination, you can make, for example, very pretty vases from such half-bottles.

We will tell you how to make a machine for cutting durable tape from a PET bottle. It's no secret that a plastic bottle has the ability to shrink when heated. Many people use as a heat shrink material. For this you need a bottle cutter.
Material: 100 x 50 angle piece, piece of square pipe, 8 mm stud, 3 mm thick sheet remains, 9 mm inner diameter tube, two M5 bolts with square nuts, same studs 8 mm in diameter and 60 mm long, cutting tool .
See what happens next on the video of the Vitmana Homemade channel. The master will make the machine from an ordinary square pipe 25 x 50. It is better to use a U-shaped aluminum profile, the master did not find it. Therefore, a square pipe is used as a workpiece. It will have to be cut in half. A corner cut from a 160 x 80 pipe will be welded to it. A hole around the perimeter to fix it on the table. I made the machine stand from a square tube, cut the slots with a hacksaw. This was the hardest part in making the fixture. Bottom welded corner. Drilled a hole for mounting to a wall or other place. I put a hairpin with a diameter of 8 mm to put on the tube.
Attached the blade to the bolt. I drilled a hole with a diameter of m5, clamped it with a bolt so that the blade did not vibrate. On the side, I screwed a mount under the drum through the gasket. Bolts m6. Drum of two plates 3 mm thick. I drilled holes in them for the studs and twisted them together.
I made the handle from a C grade sheet, bent it, twisted the stud, nut, put on the tube so that it was good to rotate.
From 4 minutes, the video shows how the plastic rope making machine works.
bottle winding machine
Today we will show how to upgrade manual bottle cutters and demonstrate a prototype of the machine. The principle of the winding machine is simple and obvious - it is the winding of the resulting PET tape from plastic bottles directly onto the coils. This is more relevant for obtaining a larger number of plastic strips and the most common ones are not wide up to 3 mm, which is manually long, tedious and still needs to be coiled.
The solution is simple and obvious - you need to use a frame or frame for both the spool and the bottle cutter itself, or simply fix them separately. On the hastily made a prototype. As a frame - a stool. Cutter from a sharpener with side cuts, the width of the tape at different cuts is from about 1 mm to 3 mm. You can use any bottle cutter to cut easily, accurately and without breaks.
Shaft - pin rotates through improvised bushings in stationery clips, which is convenient for quick replacement of coils. We use from the necks of the plastic bottles themselves. Removable handle and you can connect a screwdriver.
Some nuances have emerged that need to be taken into account in the future. The reel from the necks is not very suitable, it is desirable to make the diameter larger than that of the bottles, otherwise the wide tape unwinds itself. It is also necessary to allocate the distance from the coil to the cutter, it is convenient in winding, weakens jerks, increases accuracy and quality. Drill connection should be done through a reduction gear. If you take this issue seriously, then you need to increase the dimensions of both the frame itself and the coil, replace the bushings with bearings, add a laying mechanism, select the type of cutter and allocate space for all this.
Let's sketch a few simple quick options machine tools. To the mounting table, deck or stump, screw the bottle cutter itself and two rails or corners for the coil. Attach a bottle cutter and two slats to the board, fix it on the base, let's say on the table with clamps. You can make a frame with some rails and even strengthen it with jumpers and a cross-shaped truss, fasten the frame to the table with clamps. Use as a frame goats, furniture (stool, chair, table), etc. Use an inertial fishing reel, attach a bottle cutter directly to the spinning rod.
There are many options, but the meaning is the same. In total, with a little effort and ingenuity, it is easy to simplify and speed up the process of dissolving bottles into ribbons and coiling, as well as winding and rewinding ropes or twine, etc. There is room to expand...
So far, this is a simple prototype, and in this case, the plans are to further develop the theme more qualitatively. With you was Vitaliy and channel Master Bobrov.

Used in construction wooden fence, where he strengthened by tightening the place of the board nailed to the horizontal bar. In winter, this section of the fence was constantly covered with a lot of snow, as a result, many boards, so to speak, flew off the fence. I used ordinary iron wire before, but it quickly rusted and fell into disrepair. Buying galvanized is expensive. The tension of the twine weakened over time. As a result, he began to tighten with a tape from plastic bottles and partially melt them after tying for a secure connection. This design successfully stood for one winter. The method of obtaining a tape from plastic bottles is surprisingly simple and affordable. You only need two m5 bolts (no longer needed) at least 30 mm long, two nuts and washers for them, a wooden block or board, a clerical knife blade, as well as a few pucks bigger size, for example, with a hole of 8 mm (their number depends on the thickness of the tape being cut). To begin with, we put washers of large diameter, in this case, on the bar close to each other and mark the holes with a pencil. 
We drill holes with a drill with a 5 mm drill. Insert the bolts. 
We insert two washers of large diameter (the number depends on the thickness of the tape you need) so that a gap forms between them. 
We insert a clerical knife as shown in the photo. 
We put small washers in the bolts and tighten them with nuts (do not overtighten, otherwise the blade will burst). 
We cut off the bottom of the bottle and make a small narrow cut in the form of a strip counterclockwise. Insert the strip into the hole between the large washers of the cutting device and pull without jerking while holding the bottle with the other hand. I previously fixed the wooden block with a clamp on the table. The tape was not always uniform in width, but for me it was not so significant.

DIY plastic bottle cutter
There are many devices on the Internet to cut plastic bands and ropes from bottles or even fishing line. Among them are many complex devices and simple ones. But this cutter is distinguished, in its own way, by ingenious simplicity and grace. For him, well, you need to grind no details, everything is at home or you can buy it very cheaply. The main thing is that you can make it with your own hands in just minutes. With it, you can adjust the width of the tape and make it different sizes.
Just look at what this Chinese shop has for the garden.
What tools and parts are needed to make this simple cutter?
This is the blade that will perform the action. A clerical knife or, as in this case, from a pencil sharpener will do. Need washers and 2 screws. You only need a screwdriver.
We take out the blade from the sharpener with a screwdriver. And now we need to decide what width we will cut the tape from the PET bottle. The combination of washers adjusts the height and width of the rope.
For the product you will need a table into which it is not a pity to drive a couple of self-tapping screws. Although, you can take the board under the machine, and fasten it to the table with clamps.
When a place for the cutting machine is found, we screw in two self-tapping screws with washers at a distance from each other. We set the blade to the desired height and clamp it with self-tapping screws.
Now we are preparing a blank for cutting the rope from a plastic bottle.
how to cut ribbon from a plastic bottle
Carefully separate the bottom with a clerical knife. The cut must be even. We fill the workpiece into the cutter. We process the one and a half with our own hands and the simplest machine. To make the thread even, press a little from above. We pull the finished tape from the machine with a cutter.
For cutting ribbons from plastic bottles. I saw a video on the Internet where a kind of ribbon was obtained from an ordinary plastic bottle. The scope of its use is, of course, very limited.

To begin with, we put large-diameter washers, in this case, on a bar right next to each other and mark the holes with a pencil.
We drill holes with a drill with a 5 mm drill bit.
We insert the bolts.
We insert two washers of large diameter (the number depends on the thickness of the tape you need) so that a gap forms between them.
