Crafts from bottles with our own hands: create magical flowers
From plastic bottles you can create the mosta variety of crafts: vases, flower pots, scoops, animal and bird figures, butterflies. And now we would like to tell you how the handmade craft is made from a plastic bottle of "flowers". One of the most popular directions in various kinds of needlework is the creation of flowers. From plastic containers you can make delightful roses, daisies, lilies, which will decorate your house. For this interesting craft, you will need:
- plastic bottle;
- scissors (awl);
- stick or plastic tube;
- glue;
- marker;
- acrylic paint;
- paper.
First carefully cut the bottoma plastic bottle, leaving about 10 cm of plastic from above in order to be convenient to manipulate with the cut. The resulting fragment will serve as a blank for the formation of petals. Next, draw a marker on it with a flower and cut it out along the line. You can draw a plant of any shape, such as you like, making the distance between the petals at your discretion. The outline of the petals can be straight or rounded. Tip: for this craft, it is desirable to select not too hard plastic, otherwise it will be difficult to cut a fantasy flower. After preparing the shape, make a hole in the center of the flower with scissors or an awl. If desired, paint the petals of the flower with acrylic paint from the inside. Now cut out a small rectangle of paper, it will be needed to make stamens. Cut the "fringe" 1/2 of the rectangle. Wrap the remainder of the sheet around a stick or tube and fix the edge with glue. Give the wavy form of "fringe" with scissors. And, finally, fix the manufactured "stamens" in the hole of the bottle.
Crafts from bottles with our own hands: we make an original palm
In addition to the original colors of plastic, you canto produce a "miracle-palm tree", which necessarily embellishes any dacha site. Such a handmade from a plastic bottle - "palm" - will be an interesting detail in the exterior, giving a special touch to any garden. To make it, you will need plastic bottles (1 and 2 liters), brown for the trunk and green for the leaves. Also need an iron rod or rod, which will hold the structure. In addition, you will need a knife (scissors), a drill and a drill (the diameter is the same as the rod). In order to create hand-made articles from bottles in the form of palm trees, it is necessary to prepare plastic containers of the necessary sizes in advance.
From brown bottles we make bark: cut off a little above the middle and drill a hole in the bottom. The edges of all blanks are cut in the form of triangles and bend outwards. This will achieve bump relief. Then we string one into one billet on the pin. Now let's start making palm leaves. We cut two-liter green bottles along, removing excess material and forming a palm leaf. We make incisions along the edges and drill a hole from one end. In the same way create a few more sheets, after which we put all the blanks on the pin. Now you need to fix the leaves. To do this, take one lid from the bottle and drill a hole in it. Fix the cover on top of the leaves. We hope that you will be able to create original and bright crafts from bottles with your own hands! In fact, there is nothing complicated in this, and the result will bring you joy and satisfaction.
