Twisted wire harness from a plastic bottle
Very useful and necessary household wire harnesses can be made from a plastic bottle. The bundles can be of almost any size and any number of wires can be laid in them. I recommend that everyone who has a computer at home take note of this master class. Because thanks to it, you can easily organize order around your PC, where bundles of wires are always lying around.
Of course, the use is not limited to this. The harnesses additionally insulate the wire, protect against mechanical stress, excessive bending, etc. So there are simply a lot of options for use and application. And the main thing is that everything is made from recyclable materials that no one needs - a plastic bottle.
Will need
- 5 washers.
- 2 screws.
- Wooden block.
- Nail.
- Blade from a stationery knife.
- Some copper wire.
Making a twisted rope from a bottle
The first step is to make a bottle cutter that will cut a plastic bottle into a narrow strip. Place two shabas on a wooden block at a short distance.
On top we place a blade from a stationery knife and a washer on the edge of the blade without a hole.To reduce the blade blade, break it to the desired length.
We fix the entire structure with self-tapping screws. The bottle cutter is ready. The thickness of the two lower washers determines the thickness of the future tape, so if you need a thicker tape, add one or more washers on each side.
Now we fix the block. We trim the bottle skirt with irregularities.
We put the bottle on the bottle cutter. We press on the neck and turn the bottle with a turning motion so that the knife begins to cut the skirt.
Next, grab the ribbon that appears and pull without reducing the pressure on the neck from above.
We reach the top of the bottle and we can stop there.
We take a nail and attach the beginning of the tape to its head.
We wind the tape tightly, turn to turn, onto the nail and secure it with wire on the other side.
We blow with a construction hairdryer the entire length of the twist for one minute. Instead of a hairdryer, you can lower the twist into boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the fasteners from the wire.
The tourniquet now retains its shape.
It stretches well and returns to its original position.
Testing out our curls. Here are the wires lying chaotically.
We wind the bundle around those wires that can easily go together. Everything is neatly organized.
This twist bends perfectly and looks very nice and aesthetically pleasing.
Now you can easily organize order under your computer desk, where there are a lot of wires lying around.
