Prepare the Bottle: Cut off the bottom of the bottle, creating five evenly spaced “petals” that extend towards the neck but stop a few inches short.
Attach Ropes: Make holes at the tip of each petal, thread ropes through them, and secure.
Attach to the Stick: Insert the stick through the bottle neck and secure it. The bottle should be firmly attached to the pole’s end.
Use the Picker: Surround the fruit with the open petals, pull the ropes to close them, twist the pole to detach the fruit, and release the ropes to capture the fruit inside the bottle.
