DIY Assistive Spray Bottle

June 3, 2016 in Solution

You will need:

  • Trigger action spray bottle
  • Pair of plastic salad tongs (will make 2 assistive handles)
  • Junior hacksaw
  • Hot glue gun
  • Zip ties
  • Scissors

To make an easy-to-spray handle:

  • Use the hacksaw to cut the looped handle from the salad tongs & sand any sharp edges
  • Apply hot glue to the trigger handle & fix the new loop handle on, wait a few moments for the glue to cool
  • Thread the zip tie through the loop handle and tighten, cut off the excess
  • Enjoy your new easy-to-spray bottle!
