Mio Mop
What you need:
-mio or crystal light water enhancer
-felt from chalkboard eraser
-scissors
-hot glue & gun or lighter
-electrical tape
-paint/ink or your choice
Where to start:
First decide which body type you will use. You can grab these at any supermarket.
Once you have emptied it, open it up by removing the rapper and twisting the cap 90* then pop off the top.
Using scissors, poke out the center of the cap.
Stick your scissors through the hole again and turn them untill you have whittled away the plastic. remove plastic until the red line.
Now, remove the tiny plastic support at the top of the cap. The cap should now look like this:
Now, place hot glue around the rim of the very top cap on hinges and hold it closed. once sealed, wrap around the seam with electrical tape. Shortly hold the wrapped cap over a lighter just until the glue is soft enough to form by pushing through the tape. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MELT TAPE. your cap should now be airtight.
Now for the nib. I used a 2 inch strip of felt, folded in quarters as my nib. To prevent the nib from being pushed into the bottle, i used a small piece of steel wire to bridge the opening.
Before you push the nib in, fill the body with 2/3 - 3/4 of the paint or ink of your choice.
Now you have a finished mop. Be careful with this as squeezing can pop out the nib if the paint is to thick or to thin and it will pour all over. ALWAYS CARRY IN A PLASTIC BAG!!
