On the Internet they constantly tell howgood and even beautiful things can be made from seemingly useless garbage. However, some of them were able to craft themselves with their own hands in the "pre-Internet era." Work from empty cigarette packs, frogs from bottle caps, fish from greased used disposable drippers ...
Now all this art has received evencorresponding classification and own name: "junk art". With enough scorn of contempt, though. However, if this is contempt, it indicates the ineptitude of its author. After all, in fact it is a mockery of those who, for example, know how to make a vase from a plastic bottle, can work with hands, and not just with language.
After chemistry invented plastic and introduced itin a wide general consumer use, plastic products mainly began to appear in our houses in the form of various packages. A special place here is occupied by PET bottles, which, unlike the usual glass ones, are much lighter and unbreakable. But, alas, they are still cluttering up the space after their emptying. "Creative explosion" of homemade products from eggplants, not counting their varied secondary use in unchanged form, followed immediately: at least - bottoms as a jam outlet, as a maximum - a whole labyrinth for a hamster made of plastic bottles!
There is a quick and reliable way to decorateroom by cutting the bottle in half so that the lower two-thirds of the work remains in the work. (The upper one, by the way, can be sent to the kitchen or to the garage as a funnel for liquid and loose products.) From the upper half of the remaining eggplant, cut the rectangular petals without separating them from the body. Unfold them so that they are parallel to the surface of the table. Then two-thirds of the length of each petal is bent at an angle horizontally so that the imaginary line drawn along the lower edge of the petal is tangent to the circle formed by the bottle (if viewed from above). And thus bend all the strips. Now you can pour water in a vase and put a flower.
I must say that how to make a vase from a plastic bottle, there are numerous instructions and even whole creative schools!
Another method requires the presence of two PET bottles,identical in form, but different in volume (BB and MB). First, the bottom part is separated from both, the BB also has a neck, on which the cap is screwed. In the bottom part of the BB, short petals (in the form of a square or a rectangle close to it) are cut, which must be folded inwards. Now MB is inserted inside the BB and screwed on the remaining thread. In the bottom part of the BB a home-made drill, made from an ordinary tin bottle cap, cuts a hole, which also screws the MB thread. The very bottom part of the BB is connected with exactly the same part from another BB; they are pretty tightly included in each other, forming a double bottom. The future vase has found its foundation. It remains only to pour between the walls, for example, three kinds of groats of different colors and decorate the product with a bouquet of dead wood. Are you still interested in how to make a vase from a plastic bottle?
If you find two tanks - one largewith a wide round neck, another smaller with a hexagonal neck, you can make a miracle of miracles. Cut off the upper parts, coat both with a thin layer of PVA glue and cover with several layers of toilet paper (alternating paper and glue). From the same material with wet hands twist the flagella and form on the top layer of any ornament you like, then lightly glaze it with glue. When it dries, cover with aerosol enamel black, and a golden tinge with a sponge slightly bring a gleam. After sufficiently tighten the both parts. Here's how to make a vase from a plastic bottle - you get a beautiful product, similar to gold-plated bronze!
