Citrus juicer made from plastic bottles

Oh, how great it is to drink a glass of freshly squeezed, natural and refreshing juice. I’m describing this now, and my mouth is watering. 100% juice is simply an excellent vitamin boost, especially during the winter cold.
Not everyone can boast of having a juicer in their household. But it doesn’t matter, for citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruit it’s very easy to make it yourself from a couple of unnecessary plastic bottles.

Will need

Two PET bottles: one with a volume of 0.5-1 liter, the other with a volume of 3-5 liters.

Making a juicer from PET bottles

Cut a large bottle in half using a utility knife. You can first mark a straight line with a felt-tip pen.

Turn the side with the neck over and insert it into the base of the bottle.

Take a knitting needle and heat its tip with a candle.

We insert a small bottle with the neck downwards throughout the structure. And holding it with your hand, we pierce the knitting needle through all the bottles.

Next, we turn the structure 90 degrees, heat the knitting needle and pierce it on the other side. Next, to fix it, insert 2 long skewers from different sides.

The juicer is ready.

Squeezing the juice

Cut an orange or other fruit in half.

And then, using rotational movements, squeeze the juice from each half onto the wavy bottom of a small bottle.


Then remove the bottom part and simply pour the juice into your glass.

It's simple, isn't it?
Now you can enjoy freshly squeezed juice and get a large dose of vitamins for good health and mood.
