DIY fruit picker from a 2 liter bottle Picking fruit from large trees can be a challenge, but a 2 liter plastic bottle can be easily transformed into an efficient fruit picker. Materials needed A long stick or pole (like a broomstick). A 2 liter plastic bottle. Strong rope or twine. Knife or scissors. Preparation Prepare the bottle \u00a0: Cut the bottom of the bottle, creating five evenly spaced “petals” that extend toward the neck but stop a few inches short. Attach the ropes \u00a0: make holes at the end of each petal, pass ropes through them and secure them. Attach to stick \u00a0: Insert the stick into the neck of the bottle and secure it. The bottle should be firmly attached to the end of the stick. Use the picker \u00a0: Surround the fruit with the open petals, pull the strings to close them, twist the pole to loosen the fruit, and release the strings to capture the fruit inside the bottle. 2.
