This quick and easy project gives a common household item a second life while saving money and reducing waste.

For this project you will need:

1. 1 empty milk jug
2. Box cutter or utility knife
3. Permanent marker

Using the permanent marker, draw a line around the bottom portion of the milk jug. Try to make the line even so the finished scoop will have a neat edge. (See picture.)

Carefully cut along the marked line using the box cutter. Take your time to make a clean, smooth cut. (See picture.)And always remember to cut away from your body and use caution when handling a sharp knife.

Your feed scoop is now ready to use! It works well for scooping feed for almost any kind of animal. It can not only be used to carry feed but also be used to carry water.

By reusing an empty milk jug, you've used turned something that might have been thrown away into a useful tool that can be used daily.
