These funnel scoops are easy and cheap to make.
They will allow you to easier scoop powders in tubes, crossettes etc.

Step 1
Start by cutting a square as big as possible from a soda can.



Step 2
Fasten the cut-out aluminium plate with tape on a flat surface and draw the showed figure. You can make a template and use it if making many scoops to speed up the drawing process.



Step 3
Cut out the forms.



Step 4
Bend the sides upwards as showed to create a channel.



Step 5
On the other side of the channel, put super glue in the middle and attach a popsicle to it. Apply pressure until dry.



Step 6
You're now finished. The scoops are used as showed, but you can also use the funnel scoop itself to take more powder, instead of the spoon.




Cool'e!

Good stuff as usual Pudi.
As the metal is easy to mould, you could change the width of one end for smaller tubes, or even make the end curl right round so you have a cone/funnel shape at one end for even easier guidance.

Word of caution, the metal is bloody sharp so be careful.
