New Fangled Blueberry picking container

You know what's really aggravating to me when picking Blueberries? To drop the whole pail that contains numerous hours of picking onto the ground. You never find them all no matter how hard you look.

So, to minimize this dilemma we came up with this little rig below. The basic instructions should be enough to help you make your own! Enjoy.

 
 Here are the components:
 Cut the top of the bottle off just above the label like so.
 Using a hole punch, punch a hole in each piece on opposite sides. (for the string)

 We used a little hook like this with a string tied onto it for one side. This facilitates emptying the container when it's full. Simply tie the string through the punched holes on the opposite side.
Voila! the completed version.
The inverted bottle top keeps the berries from dumping out should you drop the container.
Hang it around your neck and you have now have two hands to pick with.
