Materials & Tools

Empty plastic bottle - this needs to be a suitable size to contain the twine. Mine contained bubble bath.

Craft Knife,
Stapler,

Hole punch
 

Step 1

Cut the label from the bottle. If desired, you can remove any residual glue with a drop of white spirit.

Step 2

Using the knife, make a slot near the bottom of the bottle.

Step 3

Continue the cut all the way around the bottle using the scissors.

Step 4

Using the hole punch, make a hole from which to hang the bottle upside down.

Step 5

Pull a short length of twine from the centre of the roll or ball, and feed it through the neck of the bottle. Hang the dispenser from a greenhouse hook.

Example 1

Twine dispenser hanging in my greenhouse.

Example 2

The dispenser makes it very easy to pull out a length of twine with one hand, and cut it with the other.
