It was time for mosquito nets, and I pulled out mine. I carefully picked up the first one by the handles to put it down, and then they fell apart like ancient artifacts.

Tried to stick my fingers to the net. It didn’t work, only the handle broke off at the very root.

It was necessary to think of something and quickly.

Initially, the plastic handles were quite soft and the material they were made of was more like a nylon can lid.

That’s why I decided to make new ears from this material.

This is what I needed:

• Lid;
• Self-tapping screws – two pieces;
• Screwdriver.

Process:

The lid has two tongues, which we usually use to open it.

We cut it out so that one of the tongues is on our handle.

You can cut it out beautifully, or you can ignore the aesthetics and do it like me.

Place the blank on the place where the broken handle is attached.

Make two small holes with an awl.

The picture above shows how the lid piece should not be positioned. It is impossible to install the mesh in this position.

Wrap it up and decide if you’re going to trim that ugly piece to make it look human.

The new handle is securely attached. It is large enough to comfortably fit the mosquito net.

It still needs trimming as it creates the impression of a pinched lid.
