  Step 1

  Start with a plastic bottle with a handle.

• 

  Step 2

  Remove the plastic insert.

• 

  Step 3

  With the scissors, make a cut down the neck at the seam about two inches long.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut around the bottle to make the opening. I went with the curves that were already on the bottle and it made it easier to cut.

• 

  Step 5

  Use the scissors to trim off any rough edges and decorate however you would like. For the front, I used a photo that didn't turn out well and 2 cut up paint chip cards (red and orange) to cover the writing on the bottle and glued it to the bottle with craft glue, then taped it over with packing tape to protect it.

  Step 6

  For the back, I used a piece of wrapping paper and cut it in the general shape of the bottle, trimmed it to fit then glued it down with craft glue. I then used fabric paints to write "Maxx's Food Scoop" and went around the edges with the paint to help seal off the edges.

I would be concerned about chemical residue. Clearly I wouldn't use a laundry bottle to scoop my cereal, so I'm not going to use one to feed my dog. However, it's a neat idea. Maybe you could use something like a tea jug or other similar, nontoxic jug and do the same thing?
