How to make an electronic repeller and windmill from moles and birds with your own hands

The mole is a predator by nature. Its diet consists of larvae, small vertebrates, worms and insects. Also loves caterpillars, mole crickets and wireworms. He can get to them by breaking through long underground passages. As a result, the excess soil formed in the process of painstaking labor is pushed upward by the animal. This is how the mounds that gardeners dislike are formed. It is noteworthy that it eats precisely those pests that are capable of destroying the future harvest.

However, related problems arise - in search of something edible, moles dig long tunnels in the ground at different depths. Labyrinths laid deep in the soil damage roots and disrupt the natural microenvironment near the root system of plants. And the earthen heaps that appear on the surface spoil the appearance of the site. In general, it becomes obvious that the animal does more harm than good and then the question arises of how to get rid of moles on the site.

general information

A large number of moles appear in gardens in the first half of summer. This occurs due to the fact that the upper soil layer of forests and meadows becomes scarce and depleted. And garden associations and summer cottages with their fed “fat” soil, teeming with all kinds of living creatures, attract moles like a magnet.

During a short hunt for its food, a mole can dig up the entire area up and down, while spoiling a vegetable garden, beds with crops or a beautiful lawn. To prevent this from happening, you need to know how to get rid of an uninvited guest. If you do everything consistently, the result will be definitely positive and the mole will leave the area where he is not welcome.

Mole

There is an opinion that moles are afraid of unpleasant odors. As a result, some summer residents water their gardens with carbide and kerosene, scatter rotten fish around the area and use smoke bombs. However, such methods are unlikely to suit good gardeners - is it possible to have a good rest in a plot that constantly stinks of rotten meat and kerosene?! Therefore, people are looking for alternative ways to fight.

Attention! Industrial enterprises have developed and produce various types of electronic repellers. But the price for them is quite high.

Experienced summer residents know that moles cannot stand any kind of noise. They do not like the sound of metal, the crack of plastic, or the ticking of an alarm clock. It was these characteristics of the animal’s character that served as the theoretical basis for the creation of various types of mole repellers.

The principle of operation of the control method

Moles themselves are not pests for vegetable gardens. They do not eat the root system or fruits of plants. Rather, on the contrary, they destroy most of the harmful underground parasites, since they are the main diet of these animals. But moles dig numerous underground passages, which is why unpresentable strips of earth appear on the surface of the earth. Also, due to digging, the roots of plantings can be damaged.

You can get rid of a mole in different ways. Garden stores offer many electronic repellers based on the principle of ultrasonic waves - they are inaudible to humans due to their high frequency, but extremely unpleasant to animals (mice, rats and other rodents are driven out of the area in the same way). However, such devices are quite expensive and consume a large amount of energy.

A good alternative would be to make a device such as a mole repeller. Most of the “folk” methods are extremely inexpensive to implement. Of course, they are inferior in efficiency to ultrasonic ones, but in this case you have to choose between speed and savings.

How to use alarm clocks against moles

Mole Repeller

Repelling moles from a summer cottage using a clock mechanism is already a proven and most importantly effective thing. To do this, you need to purchase an inexpensive battery-powered alarm clock, or better yet, more than one.

How to use alarm clocks against moles

The clock sets different ringing times. After which they are placed in glass jars with screw caps. This “gift,” previously tested for leaks, is buried in different places on the site. Moles are very annoyed by the endless ticking of the clock, and even more so by the ringing of the alarm clock. In this simple way, an alarm clock against moles helps a lot.

A slightly more complex version, again using a watch, is also considered very effective. To make such a homemade repeller with a clock mechanism, you will need a wide pipe (half a meter). Holes are drilled on its sides and in the lower part. The pipe is buried on one side in the ground, below the level of the mole’s underground corridors. An alarm clock is lowered into the pipe itself, to which a rope is tied for ease of further removal. The ticking mechanism creates an ultrasonic effect inside the pipe. And the mole is forced to leave the area.

Thus, using an alarm clock against moles, you can get rid of them one hundred percent. The main thing is to wait until the enemy’s nerves give in and he retreats from the battlefield.

As you can see, various types of noisemakers are excellent at scaring away moles. It is the annoying sound that complicates their life in a certain area. The most important thing is that the methods have been repeatedly tested and effective. Using them, it is quite possible to get rid of these creatures in your garden once and for all.

In this video we'll talk about how to get rid of moles in the country. They do not feed on vegetables, but make numerous holes in the soil, which are used by shrews and voles, which can destroy crops. To get rid of these pests, you can make a pinwheel with your own hands.

First, it is necessary to make a movable structural element. You will need an aluminum tube with a length of 25 cm. A through hole is made a little closer to one of the edges, into which it is inserted. The tube itself should rotate smoothly relative to the nail. A piece of wood, preferably round. A small carnation with a wide head. Thin copper or brass plate 4 x 25. Thin lightweight galvanized plate 15 x 15.

A simple remedy

To make this product you do not need any complex materials. If you have plastic bottles, you can make several necessary products for future use at once. These things are extremely simple to construct and do not require any drawings. Many skilled summer residents have already adopted this and are easily making practical mole repellers.

To make this you will need an empty plastic bottle and a stick/pipe. To begin with, make several cuts on the bottle, which then need to be bent to form paddle pockets. Then a small hole is made in the bottom, after which the bottle is placed on a metal tube or thick steel wire.

Pocket-blades are made so that at the slightest fluctuation in the wind the bottle begins to spin quickly and create noise that resonates well into the tube.

This resonating noise, passing through the tube, goes into the ground, straight into the tunnels dug by the mole. Therefore, it is advisable to stick such tubes into the ground in places in close proximity to wormholes.

Some craftsmen-dacha owners do not stop there and try to improve this design. To implement your plan, you may need a metal or water pipe with a small diameter, which can range from 1/2 mm to 3/4 mm, there is not much difference in this case. The selected tube must be driven deep into the ground. In this case, its lower end should be as close as possible to the underground passages of the animal. Then you need to insert a metal pin into the upper part of the tube and fix it securely. To prevent it from dangling, it is secured with a special stopper.

A plastic bottle with a hole already made in the bottom is placed on the fixed pin. It can be done using usually a nail or a heated awl. The diameter of the hole must exceed the diameter of the pin. Then you need to make pockets-blades, as described above, which will bend outward.

How to protect your summer cottage from moles: drive them away or scare them away?

A mole is a fairly smart and cunning animal, so it is usually very difficult to catch it. It is much easier and faster to drive it away from the site with the help of various repellers and similar devices.

Physical barrier

You can protect your property from moles by creating an underground fence.

Bury old sheets of slate or roofing felt around the perimeter of the borders of your land at a depth of about 0.5-0.7 meters, or even better, take a metal or plastic mesh with small cells.

Thus, the animal simply will not be able to enter your dacha if you create such a protective barrier.

However, you can do it easier by making a special protective bed against moles, namely by placing a metal mesh on the bottom and installing high wooden sides.

Video: how to make a mole-proof bed

Fish

In order for the mole to leave your area forever, you can try to bury a stinking fish head from a herring in a mole hole or put a skin from a smoked fish, just try to push the “rotten stink” deeper inside, additionally helping yourself with a stick. Then close the entrance by covering it with a stone, and then cover it with earth and trample it with your feet.

Creolin, ammonia, tar

Similar to rotten fish, you can bury a rag soaked in tar, ammonia or creolin solution in a mole hole.

Alarm

You can protect your area from attacks by mole rats with the help of an alarm clock, or rather two, and it is best to purchase compact ones and, of course, battery-powered ones.

Set the alarm for one clock, for example, at 12 noon, and the second at 6 p.m. Then place each alarm clock in a 0.5 liter jar and close the lid tightly so that no water can get inside. Bury it in different sides of your dacha. Thus, the alarm clock will ring every hour, thereby scaring away moles from the area 4 times a day.

Ratchet made from a metal rod and a plastic bottle

One of the easiest ways to rid a cottage of moles is the following method:

1. You need to drive an iron rod (pin) 20-30 centimeters into the ground or even wooden rods.
2. Place a regular plastic bottle or aluminum beer can on the top.

This design will seem to “crack” in the wind, thereby creating noise and vibrations, which should scare away moles.

Advice! It is advisable to install such ratchets along the entire perimeter of the site.

In the next video, the author combined a ratchet and a spinner (windmill) into one device.

Video: DIY mole repeller made from aluminum and plastic bottles

Turntables

More popular analogues to the previous method of fighting moles are special pinwheels, which you can buy at a garden store or make with your own hands from the same plastic bottles.

Making a spinner or a windmill against moles with your own hands is not so easy, although watching the following video will definitely help you in making it.

In general, you should end up with something like this:

Video: windmill (spinner) against moles from a plastic bottle

Advice! If rattling beer bottles are installed throughout your dacha, it may look very ambiguous, so if you are determined to try installing such repellers, then at least make them original and more or less interesting.

Ultrasonic repellers

Recently, ultrasonic repellers of moles and other garden pests have become quite popular. As a rule, such devices are solar-powered (but they can also be battery-powered), similar to garden lights, which are very similar in appearance. Depending on the price, they vary in power and range.

However, the opinions of gardeners regarding the effectiveness of their use are divided: some really like them, while others regret spending money on yet another marketing thing. But very often gardeners do not read the instructions carefully and do not insert the repeller deeply enough into the ground.

Battery operated

By the way! Such devices will also help you get rid of mice and snakes in your summer cottage.

Video: how to get rid of moles using ultrasonic repellers

Repellent plants

You can often hear among people that planting legumes, next to which they will definitely not dare to dig their own passages and make holes, can help scare off moles from the area, namely:

• beans;
• peas;
• lupine;
• lentils.

There is also an opinion that they avoid bulbous flowers because of their unpleasant smell, for example, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and they especially do not like the imperial hazel grouse.

Scented marigolds, which even aphids and ants cannot tolerate, can also theoretically rid your beds of moles.

Advice! Of course, you can try, but, according to reviews from gardeners who are actively fighting moles, these repellent plants will not bring you much success.

The following 2 methods require fairly active actions on the part of the person.

Filling holes with water

This method will most likely allow you to drive the mole out of its home, but on the condition that you pour a very, very large amount of water into the mole hole.

Petard

You can drive a mole out of your garden using heavy artillery, namely firecrackers. Dig up the wormhole so that you can cover the hole with a bucket or old metal basin and allow the gases to escape into the wormhole. A similar method is to light smoke bombs in burrows.

Note! At first glance, the method may seem quite cruel, but this is by no means the case, because you do not blow up the animal, but simply smoke it out with smoke that will go along its passages.

How to catch a mole in the garden and where to release it

If you can’t get moles out of your garden using various repellers, then you can try to catch them. But at the same time, it is not at all recommended to destroy captured animals!

Trap from a three-liter jar

To create a trap for catching a mole in your summer cottage, you will need a 3-liter jar or an ordinary bucket, or a cut-off five-liter bottle.

Next, you will need to find a fresh mole hole (there should be a loose pile of earth there), where you will need to install a trap jar.

Now dig a hole for the jar so that the neck of the jar is below the stroke (as in the diagram).

Then cover the top of the trap with a board or slate.

When the mole once again crawls through his underground possessions, he will fall into a trap from which he simply cannot get out on his own.

If it seems to you that several blind pests are operating at your dacha at once, then install a couple of such traps to catch them.

Important! Remember to periodically check your traps to ensure that the animals in them do not die due to lack of food.

Video: an easy way to catch moles using a trap jar

What to do next with the caught animal? Here's what: just take him away from the holiday village, for example, into the forest or release him somewhere in the field.

Of course, you can plant the animal on your hated neighbors. But it’s not a fact that he won’t return to you according to his own moves.

Trap is not a method for humanists

A rather cruel analogue of a trap is the use of a trap to catch a mole.

Important! Using a trap against such a cute and generally useful animal is real cruelty, so think 100 times before buying such a deadly trap.

Yes, perhaps, if a mole gets into it, it will not die immediately, but it will definitely inflict quite severe injuries on it.

How to completely get rid of moles in garden plots

Some gardeners are annoyed by moles to such an extent that they decide to take extreme measures to physically destroy them.

Important! You still won’t be able to get rid of moles once and for all in this way; it is much better to use preventive measures to prevent a blind animal from entering your garden or vegetable garden, or to catch it and then release it into the wild.

They begin to use poisonous chemicals, which, along with their immediate purpose, destroy beneficial earthworms.

Someone (most likely fishermen) even throws their gear into the holes...

Note! The editors of this site under no circumstances recommend that you resort to this kind of action, so this article will not contain specific information on this method of ridding a summer cottage of moles.

Peace to the world!

Natural enemies

Your pets can help you in the fight against moles; for example, cats and dogs (especially dachshunds and fox terriers) are considered to be quite dexterous and skillful hunters of these underground pests. Therefore, take your pets to the dacha more often and let them get their own food in the wild.

Important! Of course, the method is not very humane, but nature is generally cruel, although most blind animals will definitely leave dangerous places, fearing for their lives.

How to protect your lawn from moles using a net

It’s especially unpleasant when you’ve worked so hard to create a lawn on your property, and then suddenly you see this:

This can be avoided by laying a special mesh on the area under the lawn, which will protect the lawn from moles and other underground pests.

It is especially convenient to act in this way when laying rolled lawn.

To be honest, there are both quite harmless and humane, and very savage methods of dealing with a blind animal in a summer cottage. But if you still decide to drive the mole out of its possession, use a constructive approach to this animal, and nature will thank you for it.

The singing of birds is pleasant to the ear, but if birds settle in a flock in the garden, this turns into trouble for the gardener. It’s even worse when the site becomes home to a couple of moles. Both representatives of nature cause irreparable harm. Birds peck at berries and fruits, and moles “plow up” the garden so that not a single intact root remains. To protect the crop, it is not necessary to spend money on expensive devices - several windmills made from plastic bottles will help remove uninvited guests from the site.

Why you need to get rid of birds and moles

It would seem that what is bad about birds is that they destroy caterpillars, beetles and butterflies, which are pests of crops. But the fact is that birds have a habit of moving in flocks. And a large number of birds need a lot of food. One garden will not feed a dozen feathered caterpillars, and it’s much better to peck ripe berries and juicy apples.

Moles are a real disaster for a gardener. One pair of blind but perfectly hearing shrews can overnight turn an area into a “minefield” with holes and piles of soil. On their way, moles do not notice anything and are capable of tearing not only the roots of seedlings, but also the powerful roots of fruit trees. Moreover, the female mole will quickly build a nest and breed offspring, which will also enjoy the succulent green bushes, roots and fruits.

Bird and mole repellers made from plastic bottles

Both types of pests differ in anatomical features, since birds see well, but moles do not. But both are afraid of loud sounds, and shrews are also afraid of ground vibrations.

Some gardeners record on tape the sounds of natural enemies of birds and moles and periodically play the recording. The measure is temporary and will not bring much effect without the use of additional funds. But windmills made from plastic bottles always work.

We recommend reading: What you can make from plastic bottles with your own hands: a selection of ideas

The first method of making a repeller

What to prepare:

• plastic bottle;
• foil;
• scotch;
• knife;
• thick wire;
• small washer;
• glue;
• stick for installation.

Now like this:

1. Drill holes in the lid and bottom, placing them exactly in the center - opposite each other. The size of the hole is arbitrary, but it is better that the cross-section matches the size of the wire.
2. Cut out windows in the shape of the letter C on the walls of the bottle. You get 4 blades that need to be bent outward.
3. Equip the wire with a washer, placing it approximately 10 mm from the end of the wire. Now thread the wire into the bottle; the washer will prevent the container from falling down.
4. To ensure a lighting effect, stick foil on the blades.
5. Fix the finished windmill on a stick and place the product anywhere in the garden.
6. It is best to make several windmills to place throughout the site.

A similar design can be made from a tin can. If you pour dry peas inside the jar and install windmills next to the ground, the sound will penetrate into the thickness - this will scare the moles.

The second method of making a windmill

A couple of plastic bottles and a plate cut from the wide part of the bottle will come in handy. Now like this:

• cut strips 150 mm long in the bottle;
• from an additional plate, cut blades 140-150 mm long;
• insert the blades into the slots to form a propeller;
• equip the lid with iron rods;
• pour dry peas or buttons into the bottle itself;
• install the windmill on a stick.

Now, at the slightest breeze, the product will sway, the sounds will scare away the birds, the vibration and noise of the buttons will scare away the moles.

The third method of making a windmill

Stick sticks no more than 1 m high into different areas of the site. Equip several empty bottles with buttons and tin cans with peas with thin fishing lines, and secure the fishing lines to the stick. It turns out to be a “carousel” of cans and bottles. When there is wind, the noise effect is enough to scare away birds and moles.

Option 1. Simple weather vane

This product can be placed in the garden or local area just for decoration. However, it is also useful for schoolchildren, who are asked to keep a “weather diary” and determine the prevailing wind direction every day.

To make it, you will need a stick as a support, and a small piece of thick wire on which you will need to place the weather vane. The simplest option is to pierce a bottle with wire, bend a loop at the top, add a large plastic bead at the bottom, and fix the resulting structure in the center of the stick. Before installing the wire, you can paint the bottle in bright colors using acrylic paint. A cheaper option is to use multi-colored electrical tape, which you always have on hand at home.

DIY electronic mole repeller

You should dig a metal pipe into the ground, and place a buzzer from a battery-powered alarm clock inside the pipe. Cover the part of the pipe protruding outward with a cut plastic bottle. This way the sound will spread inside the ground.

The repeller is ready, you just need to remember to change the batteries on the device. After a couple of weeks, there will be no trace of moles on the site.

It is very good to bury several empty plastic or glass bottles around the garden, leaving only the neck outside. Whistling from the wind in the necks will cause vibration of the ground and a thin sound that moles really don’t like.

The mole looks like a cute, harmless animal, but it can cause destructive damage to a planted plot of land. The mole lives underground and, breaking through tunnels, harms the root system of plants.

Ways to combat moles are as follows:

1. Ultrasonic repellers;
2. Poisoned with food;
3. The holes where the mole comes out are filled in.

Some gardeners use homemade traps. How to make a mole repeller yourself and which ones are more effective is described in this article.

Pest lifestyle

Before you start fighting moles, it is important to familiarize yourself with the life characteristics of the pest. It is known that moles live in families. Therefore, if one individual was discovered in the garden of a private house, garden or dacha, then there is no need to have any illusions. In the best case, several relatives live with it, and in the worst case, 2-3 families.

Animals make extensive underground passages, which, according to their purpose, are divided into two types:

• Moves for searching for prey . They are located in the fertile layers of the earth, since this is where the food of moles lives - earthworms and insect larvae. A voracious animal cannot exist for a long time without food, a maximum of 10-15 hours.
• Wintering passages for animals . They are located deep underground and protect animals from bad weather. Moles do not hibernate, so they need a place protected from the cold to survive the long winter.

Moles are predators; their food is only of animal origin. They do not eat root vegetables, as some gardeners believe. And if remains of plant fibers can be found in their stomachs, then they get there by accident.

Moles feed on invertebrates, mainly earthworms. In addition, they even bring certain benefits by eating woodlice, slugs, click beetle larvae, caterpillars and mole crickets. The soil in areas where moles live is usually loose, soft and moist. Although they damage the root system of plants, they do so unintentionally.

In search of food, animals dig new passages. In conditions of food shortage, moles are capable of attacking frogs, small vertebrates and even rats. Animals are in great need of water, so they settle near water bodies. Moles have developed intelligence and are able to adapt to different circumstances.

Animals are very dexterous and strong. Due to constant exposure to darkness, the organ of vision of moles has atrophied during evolution, since they practically do not need it and even get in the way. If the eyes were preserved in their usual form, then earth would always fall into them. Animals compensate for poor vision with acute hearing and sense of smell.

Moles are frightened by any loud sound or unpleasant odors.

Types of repellent devices

All repellers, even homemade ones, are divided into 4 types:

1. Mechanical. They are effective because their parts, when moving, create noise and vibration that scare away the animal;
2. Biological - capsules containing aromatic oils. Pests cannot tolerate their smell. This group also includes plants whose smell cannot be tolerated by moles;
3. Electronic mole repellers. They are usually vibrating, powered or battery operated;
4. Ultrasonic. They repel small pests by emitting frequency sound waves. When they hit the ground, such sounds send a signal of danger to the animal’s brain.

Although the modern market offers a huge number of mole repellent devices to choose from, homemade devices also enjoy considerable success. If you use homemade repellers in a comprehensive manner in the fight against pests, then the land area can be completely cleared of annoying animals.

What to do against uninvited guests?

Of course, progress has worked on this issue and offers a choice of ultrasonic repellers or chemicals. However, it is not a fact that these techniques will work in your case, but “the money was crying.”

Of course, you can record the sound of an eagle, the songs of cats in the spring, and play all this “music” for attackers. This is called a "bioacoustic installation". Note that this method is good to use in a nature reserve. In our case, it is completely unknown who will not stand it first: the moles, the neighbors or you.

So it makes sense to try to build a pest repeller for moles, snakes and birds with your own hands from auxiliary materials. If you can’t get rid of uninvited guests, then the money won’t be wasted.

Another "potential criminal"

How to make a mole repeller from a plastic bottle

A plastic bottle is an indispensable universal item used to create various devices in the garden. It can be used to make an excellent weapon against moles, the so-called windmill.

Method No. 1

To make a windmill from a plastic bottle you need:

• large scissors;
• plastic container 1.5 l;
• permanent marker;
• awl;
• stationery knife;
• self-tapping screw;
• metal plates with a hole in the middle (washers);
• strong stalk.

The manufacturing process itself consists of the following steps:

1. Use a permanent marker to make a mark on the bottom of the plastic bottle. Draw a strip just above the bottom along the lower border;
2. Using a stationery knife, cut off the figured bottom of the bottle along the drawn strip;
3. In order for the spinner to rotate in a clockwise direction, you must correctly mark the bottom of the bottle. First, draw a line with a marker and draw it from the center of the bottom of the bottle to the center of any of the convex irregularities. Next, draw a line that goes from the center of the bottom and ends in the concave part. And thus we place markings along the entire bottom.
4. Use large sharp scissors to cut out unnecessary elements. The result is a device in the form of a propeller. We cut out the first element and then cut through one after another.
5. 5 such parts should be removed;
6. In the resulting bottom, we pierce a hole in the center with an awl heated on the fire.
7. We put a washer on the prepared self-tapping screw and insert it from the inside of the propeller. Then we put three more washers on it;
8. Take the remaining element from the bottle. Use a heated awl to make a hole in the lid and screw a self-tapping screw into it. In this way, the propeller is attached to the plastic bottle. There is no need to screw in the screw all the way. The plates must rotate freely;
9. Attach the turntable to the support.
10. Two holes are made in the neck and a small nail is inserted into them, which is then hammered into the handle.

The principle of operation of such a windmill is simple: gusts of wind, hitting the propeller, begin to spin it, and the largest element of the turntable also rotates around the nail. The washers create noise, which scares away small pests.

Method No. 2

This method requires fewer items to be used. You will need a stick, garden shears and a bottle:

1. We make wide cuts in the walls of the plastic bottle from top to bottom;
2. From these holes we make two more smaller ones perpendicular to the main one. One above, the other below;
3. We bend the resulting elements to the sides, you should get blades;
4. We put the resulting mechanism on the support after making a hole in the bottom of the bottle.

The wind rotates the blades, creating noise that scares away moles. Such devices are usually placed near an animal's burrow.

Advice! If you do end up catching a mammal, it is worth remembering that it can bite painfully. To protect yourself from an unpleasant surprise, you should wear thick gloves or mittens.

Method No. 3

To build a structure for repelling moles, you will need elements from the second method, as well as a plate cut from the wide part of another bottle:

1. In a plastic bottle we will make slits 15 cm long;
2. From the additional part it is necessary to cut the blades for the propeller of approximately the same length;
3. The blades must be inserted into the holes to form a propeller;
4. You need to make several holes in the lid and insert metal rods into them. Then attach the device to the stick.

When rotating, a rustling sound is produced, accompanied by vibration. Hearing it, the mammal gets scared and feels discomfort, so it moves to another habitat.

Method No. 4

You need to stick sticks along the perimeter of the land, placing several supports in one place. beer cans on them .

When there is a gust of wind, the plastic or metal will bang against each other, creating noise that prevents the approach of a harmful mammal.

Method No. 5

This is a so-called electronic mole repeller . It is made from a hollow metal pipe. The scheme is like this:

1. The pipe is dug into the ground and an inexpensive electronic beeping part from a battery-powered alarm clock is placed inside;
2. At the top, the pipe is covered with cloth to prevent noise from reverberating throughout the surrounding area, and with a cut-off bottle to protect the structure from rain.

Option 2. Pinwheel

A wonderful children's toy that can serve as a decoration for the local area. It is cut from one plastic bottle, from which the bottom is first cut off, and then the entire side surface is cut into 3-7 strips. This is how the turntable blades are made. They must be folded perpendicular to the neck and processed over a candle flame to melt the sharp cuts. Slightly softened plastic can be easily turned at an angle of 45 degrees or the surface slightly bent to form fan blades. A hole is made in the lid with a nail, then it is necessary to enlarge it slightly, but so that the diameter of the hole does not exceed the size of the nail head. After this, a stick is dug in, and a nail is nailed to it, onto which a large flat bead, a pinwheel, and another bead have previously been placed. Instead of beads, you can use stronger flat metal washers. In this case, the product will rotate well and will not fly off the nail.

You can improve this option and place several of these turntables on one long bolt. Then the sequence is as follows: a washer, a pinwheel, a washer, a nut fixed in the middle, then again a washer, a second pinwheel, a washer and a plug for the bolt.
