Modern designers use everything in their work, so if you want to learn how to make flowers from plastic bottles with your own hands (step by step for beginners), then you can also be called partly a designer. Well, or at least just an original creative person.

The process itself is not too complicated, but there are some nuances. Plastic is not plasticine, you can’t just give it a shape, it needs heating. So let's start with safety precautions.

Precautions during operation

As already written above, the plastic will have to be heated. For this you will need a very ordinary candle. Do not use a lighter, because leaving it lit for a long time can lead to overheating and explosion.

Be sure to cover your work surface with thick paper. Plastic can melt when heated, and drops of frozen plastic from tables are usually scraped off along with the paint, forming ugly burns.

By the way, about burns. Be careful - drops of plastic and wax from the candle can fall not only on the table, but also on your hands. Do not wear rubber gloves, otherwise you may get double burns. It is better to carefully monitor the process and the resulting drops.

Also, do not forget about safety precautions when painting products - use a respirator when working with spray paint.

The room in which you are going to make crafts should be well ventilated. In general, it’s better to do it outside.

Tools for work

You will need for work:

• Plastic bottles of different sizes
• Sharp scissors
• Construction (large stationery) knife
• Candle
• Lighter or matches
• Wire
• Beads and large beads
• Glue, electrical tape, awl
• Paints

Scissors should be tough with sharp noses and good sharpness. Choose PVA glue or something similar, but with good tenacity. There is no point in using glue - it hardens very quickly, and the product cannot always be folded as expected right away.

Let's move on to crafts

Now let's go directly to the instructions on how to make flowers from plastic bottles with your own hands (step by step for beginners).

Before you start cutting out the bottles, make stencils of the petals and other cut-out parts from cardboard, this will make it easier to mark the cut-out parts. Neither a pen nor a pencil sticks to the plastic, so it is best to mark the boundaries of the cuts with a needle or awl. You can warm up the tip a little, then clearer marks will remain.

After all the necessary parts have been cut out, they need to be fired and smoothed. To do this, the edges are heated with a candle. After heating, the edges not only become smooth, but also slightly wavy, giving the product a more natural look.

Clivia is considered the easiest flower for beginners to grow. You don't even need to cut anything to make it. Cut off the bottom of the bottle. Cut the top one into 6 approximately equal strips up to the neck. The top of the strips is slightly rounded. And treat each petal with a candle.

Now make a core out of the beads. To do this, beads are strung in one row on one end of the wire, and then the second end is passed through all the beads except the last one in the reverse order. Simply put, the wire is folded in half and a bead is hung in the middle between the halves. And the rest are strung on both ends at once.

You can use glue to connect the core to the flower. But it would be safer to make several small holes in the lid with a hot awl, thread a wire through them and twist them from the outside.

The flower stem can be made from narrow bottles, such as shampoo bottles. Several bottles are connected together into a stem using wire and electrical tape. Then the flower is also attached to the stem using electrical tape.

Now the structure can be painted, dried and installed in the garden!

Video: DIY flowers from plastic bottles step by step for beginners

These are very simple, but quite cute flowers from plastic bottles that you can make with your own hands, and step by step for beginners. With a little practice, you can create masterpieces like rose bushes or miniature sakura, violets or tulips. The number and shapes of plastic crafts are limited only by your imagination!

1. Crafts from plastic bottles can be very beautiful - you just need to use containers made of a certain type of plastic and try to make not primitive flowers, but elegant ones.

Flowers from plastic bottles - elegant fantasies

This is proven by designer Veronika Richterova, whom we have talked about more than once and presented her work as an example of high taste (strange as it may sound when we are talking about crafts from plastic bottles), and also in this.

The master has wonderful works, looking at which it is impossible to believe that they are made of bottle plastic. I want to look at them and look at them. And this is quite possible not only in the pictures, but also if you make such garden crafts with your own hands to decorate your own plot.

So, we take plastic containers not from water or other drinks, but from shampoo, gel, and other cosmetics or detergents.

It is advisable that bottles for elegant flowers should initially be the color you want. That is, so that crafts made from plastic bottles do not have to be painted - it is unlikely that you will get a better color than it was specified during production. In addition, you won’t have to worry about the paint being washed off in the rain or peeling off in the sun. Of course, any plastic on the street fades over time. But when it fades, then paint it. At the same time, update your flower bed. For the centers of flowers, you can use decorative caps from containers.

It’s good if you have curly scissors, the blades of which give a wavy edge. If you don’t have such scissors, you will have to try to cut the “wave” with ordinary scissors. In principle, it's not that difficult.

In principle, the pictures show very well exactly how to make such flowers. Try not to cut small elements - then you will need to fasten them, and this is not always easy. If you want curved petals, hold the piece over the fire and shape them. But don’t bring it too close to the fire - the plastic melts and burns very quickly, almost instantly.

2. But, by the way, this property can be successfully used to make a flower stem. You can simply take a rigid metal wire or rod of small diameter and, wrapping strips of plastic (here you can use regular bottle plastic), melt it.

And flowers from plastic containers are so different! Let's try to make a beautiful flower with graceful petals. It will be fantasy: for some it will remind one of cosmos, for others of daylily, for others of heliopsis, zinnia, Christmas star, etc.

Materials for 1 garden craft - flower

• plastic bottle - capacity 1 l. Please note that the best bottle options for these colors are those with smooth necks. Basically, these are bottles of mineral water;
• ball made of polystyrene foam, polystyrene foam, plastic, wood, etc. - diameter 25 - 40 mm;
• flexible metal wire;
• wire for the flower stem;
• paints.
• scissors, brush.

Flowers from plastic bottles - step by step tutorial

We use a plastic bottle, well washed and dried.

Cut the bottle in half crosswise. We try to make the cut as even as possible - this determines whether the flower petals will be the same in length. If you are making a flower with children, they may need help cutting the plastic.

Cut the plastic bottle into five or more pieces. Here we also try to cut, maintaining an even distance between the stripes - the future petals of the flower.

We take each strip with our fingers and bend it outward from the neck.

Cut out petals of the desired shape from the strips. Here they are so graceful and pointed.

It's time to paint the flower blank. Cover the table tightly with a layer of paper or old oilcloth, prepare paints and brushes.

If we buy paint specifically for painting plastic crafts, choose a glossy one - it gives a beautiful shine.

To enhance the effect, you can add glitter to the paint - special glitter. By the way, such glosses are found not only in nail polish - they are introduced into interior paints and varnishes. You can buy it in construction stores or in shops that are so loved by handicraft masters.

We make the background color of the flower with the main color (in this case, red). The plastic is transparent, you can paint the workpiece on one side, but it is better to paint both - this way the flower will look more elegant.

After the petals have dried, we draw the details with a different color of paint - we paint the tips, and put neat dots on some petals. To make it easier to draw a clear, even point, we do this not with a brush, but with the tip of a toothpick, knitting needle, kebab stick, etc.

We paint a small ball of polystyrene foam or other material - it will be the convex center of the flower.

We attach the ball to the center of the workpiece - screw it with wire, making holes with an awl, or glue it with glue for external use. For example, very good in this regard

The stem for the flower can be made from wire, painted green. Or you can buy special stems for artificial flowers in a store that sells products for florists. They are often available in wire form (called gerbera) - you can make stems of any height.

Large flowers made from plastic bottles are not uncommon, but try to “grow” huge flowers from this material and you will see how your garden has changed thanks to them.

Huge flowers look fabulous and bring magic to the world around them.

Materials for huge magical flowers

For one such flower you will need:

10-12 plastic bottles with a capacity of 2 liters or 3-4 plastic bottles of water with a capacity of 3-6 liters;

• A rim from the wheel of an old bicycle, maybe a teenager's or a child's. If there is no wheel rim, you can take a children's gymnastics hoop, and instead of knitting needles, tightly wrap wire or rope;
• durable metal rod (reinforcement) or wheel fork;
• thin flexible hose;
• paint - color depending on the color of the flower, as well as green;
• wire - for fastening. But if you have a construction stapler, this will make the job much easier.

Plastic bottles or bottles are prepared - clean and dry. Working with them is basically the same, you just get more petals from 1 bottle.

Cut off the necks and bottoms of the bottles/bottles.

We cut out large, simply huge flower petals - to the entire height of the containers.

Let's start coloring the petals. We choose the color as desired, paint that matches the look. The paints that are most often used for other plastic crafts are described here in great detail.

You shouldn’t paint the entire petal with one paint - if you make it two-color, with veins and spots, it will look more vibrant. We use one light color, the second one is darker. You can use three colors in one product, but no more, otherwise it will be too “variegated”.

You can paint the petals on one side (the plastic is almost transparent), or on both sides.

How to attach flower petals to a base

First we make the middle of the flower. To do this, cut out a circle from plywood or use the bottom of a plastic bottle. We paint the middle in the color we need. Attach to the knitting needles in the center.

We begin to attach the petals one by one to the middle. For reliability, we also attach each petal to a knitting needle or rim.

When all the petals are in place, we mask the fastenings in the middle with thinly cut strips from a plastic bottle. By the way, the voluminous center of the flower is very beautiful.

How to make a flower stem

If there is a wheel fork, turn it into a “stem” (paint it green. If there is no fork, put a rubber/plastic hose on the reinforcing rod, paint it green and also get a stem. However, you will have to tinker with attaching the head to such a stem flower. You can make a bolt fastening or securely wind the parts with metal wire.

Huge magical flowers made from plastic bottles look great both in groups and individually. We sit them down and admire our work.

Crafts made from plastic bottles are multifaceted in terms of themes: figurines of animals, insects, and people are created from this material.

If you are going to connect the layers to the petals with wire, you will have to make holes in the plastic. You can do this instantly with a hot nail or awl. To prevent the fastening from spoiling the appearance of crafts made from plastic bottles, make holes in those places that will subsequently be covered with the next layer.

It is very easy to staple the layers together, but you will need a stapler to do this. By the way, this is a very useful household item - it holds together almost any materials.

We make the middle of the flower - to do this you need to find and attach a suitable lid to the center of the craft or use some kind of ball (tennis ball, for example), cutting it in half.

It is not difficult to attach such flowers from plastic bottles to the surface - you can simply nail them or use wire.

Plastic bottles, which are most often used to create crafts for the garden, are a convenient material in terms of cutting, durability, etc. But often the flowers from it turn out to be “flimsy”, with thin petals that scream: “We are made of plastic!”

Dense, evenly colored petals

In many cases, even coloring does not help. It’s especially offensive when you make flowers from plastic bottles: beauty seems to be implied, but, frankly, it’s not there. What to do?

You can do like designer Laura Karnitz, who creates amazing crafts for the garden and interior from PET bottles with denser plastic, namely bottles for shampoos, cosmetics and household products, milk, etc.

Another good thing about these bottles is that the plastic is already painted, and the colors are very beautiful. That is, all that remains is to work with scissors, then fasten the parts, and the craft for the garden is ready.

How to make lush flowers from plastic bottles

There are many techniques for creating plastic flowers for the garden, but there are some that allow you to make very lush heads. Here is one of them, very simple, by the way.

1. Cut fairly wide strips (4-5-7 cm) from round plastic bottles.
2. Cut out rather steep “waves” from one edge of the strips - these will be petals.
3. Pass the petals over the fire. There is no need to “melt” the plastic too much; you just need to warm it up a little so that the petals can be bent in the desired direction.
4. Now collect the strips in a “stack”, forming a flower head. More stripes - a more magnificent flower.
5. Fastening - using a hot awl and wire. In principle, it will not be visible among the petals.
6. Flower centers can be made using corks.

Lilies from plastic bottles

Wonderful flowers from plastic bottles are obtained not only from round containers. For example, you can make a mesmerizing lily from an ordinary flat shampoo bottle. And you won’t have to bend the petals to give them shape: you will only need to cut off the corners of the bottle - the bend is already there. If the result is not satisfactory, you can always correct the details of the flower over the fire.

Flowers from plastic bottles: Lotuses 2 options

There are two options for creating lotuses from plastic bottles: one is easier, the other is more difficult.

Lotuses from plastic bottles - looks interesting

And, as often happens, a more complex option also gives a more interesting effect: flowers from plastic bottles - delicate lotuses - turn out lush and “full”.

Although the simple option is interesting, especially if there are a lot of flowers.

As for the material, it is better to use plastic bottles with dense, light-colored plastic - for example, milk bottles or bottles for shampoos and other cosmetic products.

Lotuses with petals in several tiers

In general, the task of creating such flowers from plastic bottles is not particularly difficult. The only thing is that you will need a strong fastening so that the lotus does not fall apart into its components (petals). If you are going to decorate some small container with these flowers and you know for sure that you will be moving them, except occasionally, you can fasten the petals into a flower with glue (hot glue, for example, or some kind of “thermonuclear” construction glue).

Such containers, which are essentially mini-ponds, are sometimes made to decorate verandas, terraces, patios, etc.

But if you do everything “for real,” spend a little time, make a hole at the base of each petal (with a hot nail) and tightly connect the petals into a flower with wire (it won’t be visible anyway).

Here's how to make the middle.

Lotuses with petals in one tier

Making these flowers from plastic bottles is as easy as shelling pears. Cut off the top of the bottle and make petals along the edge of the cut. The flower stand is also the top part of the bottle, but larger. We insert the flower with the petals with the neck into the neck of the stand, with the center inside, with the help of which the lotus will be tightly secured in the stand.

These simple flowers make wonderful borders for small flower beds.

In both cases, we paint the petals with acrylic paint (easier than aerosol, “spray can”). The color can be white or pink (like most lotuses), although if you paint it yellow and decorate a decorative pond in your garden, you will get wonderful water lily nymphs (which, in fact, are the same lotuses, but not so “glorified”).

I offer you a master class on flowers made from plastic bottles. There are a lot of options for such colors on the Internet, and there are master classes, but almost everywhere the nuances and subtleties are not shown. In this topic we will look at how to make flowers from the bottom of a bottle, this is the simplest version of such flowers. I will try to describe and show the whole process in detail.
I was prompted to do this work by an assignment in kindergarten - to make a craft from “throwaway” (garbage, those that are thrown away) materials.

As it turned out, making such flowers is not very difficult. The material is available and cheap, essentially what you throw away. It won't be expensive to try and experiment. I think older children can make such products on their own or with the help of their parents.

First you need to find as many bottles of different colors as possible. Now I already know that most bottles are produced in a narrow range of colors: there are bottles that are clear (for water and drinks), blue (mostly pale in different shades), brown (mostly for beer), green (for beer and water) and white (mainly from dairy products). You will need a lot of green bottles; the consumption of floral greens is large.

They are rare, but you can find: yellow bottles (they sell the drink Zhiwchik) and black bottles (they sell energy drinks). There are also red bottles (also from energy drinks, but I didn’t find them). Mineral water is rarely found in bright blue bottles.

First, divide the bottles into parts and think about which piece will be used for what. The bottom will go to the base of the flower, the smooth cylindrical side will go to filling the flowers.
Don’t rush to throw away the conical parts, you can make beautiful bells out of them, as I’ll show you in the next master class.

Cut out the bottom. We make the slits in the petals as deep as possible.

Now we cut out the filling of the flowers. These can be four-leaf, three- or five-leaf flowers. To your taste. It is better to fold several of them, with the petals shifted, then the flower will be more magnificent. The easiest way is to make a cliché out of paper and cut the number of colors according to the template.

Cooking the middle. Why do we cut out a strip (I make this flower out of white plastic)
and cut it into noodles.

We cut out a flower cup from green plastic. There is no need to observe clear geometric shapes; on the contrary, unevenness and unevenness will decorate the flower.

There are preparations for the flower, now you can light the candle and proceed to the most exciting part.

First, we process the edges of the plastic. To do this, we bring the workpiece to the bottom of the candle, where the flame is the coldest. Carefully melt the edges starting from the recesses. At the same time, the petals curl up. If your workpiece has bent slightly, place it above the candle, first higher, to understand how the temperature will act, the workpiece will bend and twist. The main thing here is to seize the moment.

Similarly, we melt the flower from the bottom, starting the process from the recesses.
If you want the edges of the flower petals to bend more inward, jagged or evenly, bring the already melted petal vertically to the candle flame and wait until it begins to bend.

In order to make the center of the flower, we first melt the cut strip well along the edges, and then roll it into a tube and melt its edge to fix the shape.
The middles can be made different, I will show examples below.

All parts are melted and the flower is ready for assembly.

We make leaves from green plastic. They can be cut into any shape you like.
We melt the edges of the sheet on the candle (at the bottom of the candle, near the fetus itself).

And then we give the sheet its shape - we bend it.
To do this, hold the sheet over the candle flame. Remember the part will always bend towards the flame(i.e. down). This process is instantaneous, do not overexpose the sheet, otherwise it will curl.

Using the same principle, we melt and bend the inner flowers.
This is what melted leaves look like.

Please note that green plastic comes in different shades, lighter and darker. Keep this in mind when assembling and planning.

We will collect flowers on a wire. I have a braided electrical wire (one and a half lengths). I bought a double one, removed the overall insulation and divided it into two. It is better to take the wire color brown or black; this color is better covered by the winding without bald patches.

The next step is to make the holes. I have a thin soldering iron, I do it with it. For these purposes, you can use an awl or a nail, preheated in a candle flame (we heat it at the tip of the flame, where it is hottest).

Twist the edge of the wire. We collect the flower on the wire in the required sequence.

Preparing the braiding of the stem. To do this, cut the cylindrical part of the bottle in a spiral, approximately into strips of 3-5 mm. To begin with, cut a couple by a meter, no more, otherwise it will not be convenient to work, the tape will curl. We do not cut the strip from the bottle, we will gradually trim it.

Let's start forming the stem.

To begin, we wind a couple of turns on the wire and lightly melt it in the flame so that it tightens and secures.

Then we pull it to the base of the flower, it will tighten and fix it.

We distribute the leaves, make holes in them at the base and put them on the wire. We wrap the root of the leaf with the same strip and melt it.

This flower will consist of three heads. We wind the wire from the branches onto the main one and rewind it with green tape.

Winding the ribbon around one more flower:

This is how it turned out in general.

After all the stems and leaves are formed, he works on the centers.
Spectacular centers are made of black plastic. They can be made in different ways, for example like this.

The centers can be made of white or transparent plastic.

Under the main flower from the bottom you can put a base made of smooth plastic. To do this, you need to cut the circle into noodles and melt its edges.

Below are examples of how flowers can be made.

Expanded version:

In order to fix the centers, I use a hot glue gun. You can also simply glue them with super glue or Dragon type glue (I haven’t tried it, but they write this on the Internet).

Glue the centers, a couple of colors for example:

Here the middle is double.

And this version of the same flower:

Our bouquet is ready!
Lots of photos)

Flowers need to be placed somewhere. To make the craft completely out of garbage, we will also make a vase.
To do this, take a green bottle and cut off the top.

We melt the bottle over the candles along the cut edge, and also bend it on all sides. We do it the way you like, just don’t overdo it and don’t overheat so that the plastic doesn’t stretch.

Use a soldering iron to make perforations, whatever pattern you like)

This is how the vase turned out.

Flowers in a vase. Our craft for kindergarten is ready)

In outdoor lighting, the flowers look especially good, the petals sparkle and reflect the sun's rays.

The stems and leaves turned out neat and stylish.

I really enjoyed this work, and I wish the same for you!

Thank you for your attention!

Good day everyone!

Summer time is coming, and along with preparing your summer cottage for the gardening season, you need to take up its design.

Using old and unnecessary things has become not only popular, but also environmentally friendly. Used car tires, corks, plastic bottles - from all this you can create very interesting and unusual creations.

If you have accumulated a lot of plastic bottles, then why throw them away, much less burn them (each burned bottle increases the amount of harmful carcinogens in the atmosphere). You can make many interesting crafts from them, which is what most gardeners do. In this article we will look at what can be made from this material.

Let's start with the simplest. If you don’t need any figures on the site, then making flower beds will be just right.

You can make such a wonderful border by digging upturned bottles into the ground. You can paint them, or you can leave them like that. You can make it even more interesting. If you cut them in half and dig them in, not bottom up, but down, and pour soil into the free space and plant some kind of flower. Then you will have a border not only of bottles, but also of flowers.

If you insert cut plastic containers into each other, you will get another option for a border that does not need to be dug in.

The next photo shows a two-tier flower bed. If desired, you can make several more tiers.

Overall, there are a lot of options. The main thing is to show your imagination.

You can make a path in your garden using plastic bottle caps.

If you decide to make interesting crafts, then the examples given here may help you realize your ideas.

A wonderful craft that uses additional materials in the form of old shoes and fittings.

And this photo shows the original design of a sofa made from plastic bottles.

If you want your garden to look like a house somewhere in the tropics, then you can “plant” palm trees like these.

By the way, you can fence not only flower beds with plastic bottles, but also make beds.

Also, if there are very, very many bottles, then entire structures can be made from them, like this gazebo.

You can also use bottles to make a fence for your property. For example, this fence.

It will be very interesting to decorate the summer veranda at your dacha by making both furniture and room decor elements.

Well, if you have a river or some other body of water nearby, then such a boat will be simply necessary.

The most traditional thing that can be made from plastic bottles, and what many people do successfully, is a bird feeder. Five-liter containers work well here.

If you are an amateur gardener and make alpine slides, then a Mexican-style slide decorated with cacti will suit your taste.

And, of course, flowers. This handmade product can be created from almost any material. Paper flowers - origami - are most often made for holidays or other events. Flowers made of silk or satin. Plastic also works well for this purpose.

You can decorate your garden plot with these flowers and put them in a vase in your room.

There are a lot of options for making such a craft - it all depends on your imagination and capabilities. Some of these options will be discussed below.

How to make flowers with your own hands (step by step instructions)

Plastic bottles can also be used to make decorative flowers. There are a lot of options for such crafts, here we will look at the most common ones.

In the first version, a craft like this is done.

To make such a flower, take a bottle and cut off its top and bottom parts. As a result, we get three blanks.

Now we take the upper part and make cuts from the bottom to the neck, so that we get flower petals and stamen filaments.

Their number may vary. Thin strips will be sepals, which must be bent to the sides and twisted using a knife or scissors.

In the same way, we bend and twist the wide strips that will be the petals. Only the stamens will remain up. As a result, we obtain the following construction.

To make the flower look more beautiful, you can paint it with nail polish. You choose the color yourself, which one will look best.

From the bottom of the bottle you can make the same flower in the same way. There is no need to tighten the cut parts.

Another interesting and easy way to make flowers. Here we will use multi-colored bottles, their corks and wire for the stem.

Here we need the bottom of the bottle. Carefully cut it off and cut out the petals.

A wire is threaded into the middle of the flower and secured on the outside with a loop.

A lid is glued in the center of the flower. As a result, we get a flower, but still with a wiry stem. At the next stage we make the stem.

To do this, cut a strip about half a centimeter wide from a green bottle.

We wrap the stem with this strip. In order for the plastic strip to wrap well, it must be heated with a lighter.

We cut out leaves from the same green bottle and attach them to the stem in the same way.

Thus, the plastic flowers are ready.

This option for making flowers is very simple. We string circles cut from a bottle onto the wire that serves as the base of the flower.

They can be made in different colors. And then decorate even a flower bed in the garden.

If you use the bottom of a bottle, you can make this type of flower.

And, I want to give a photo diagram of another interesting product.

Everything is simple here too. We make a template of petals, according to which we cut out a blank from a red bottle. Cut out leaves from the green one. We give the red blanks different shapes by heating. The diagram also shows that you can use scissors to cut small notches along the edges. That is, make the flower double.

After this, the finished flower petals are attached to the wire. It itself is wrapped in a green stripe (as in the version above) and leaves are attached. As a result, we get a finished flower.

Making pots and vases for flowers for the country house (master class for beginners)

Since we previously talked about making artificial flowers, how not to forget about real ones and not make a pot or vase for them. You can, however, put an artificial flower made right there in it.

I want to start with the simplest option. Probably few would have guessed about it, it is so easy to make. Here we only need a bottle and an unnecessary CD.

Cut off the top part of the bottle. The size of this part depends on what will be planted in the pot. Leave the plug on the neck. After spreading glue on it, glue this part to the disk. The vase is almost ready. To make it “beautiful” we paint it either one color or paint it. By the way, the lower part remaining from the “halving” can also be used for a pot.

In the next version of the flower pot, the upper and lower halves are combined together.

If you cut off the bottom part of the bottle, it stands well, and then glue a cork nose to it, make eyes, then you can get a decorative pot like this.

Another very simple option for making a flower vase from a bottle. This option is well suited if you decide to decorate the wall with flowers such as petunias. For this purpose, we cut out the side wall of the bottle and make holes through which we pass the rope.

To hold the bottle, we make knots at the bottom on which it will hang. Having poured the earth and planted our favorite flowers, we will get such beauty.

Similar flowerpots can be made in other ways. We cut off the top part, close it with a cork, and paint it as needed. After this, we fill the soil, plant the plant and hang it where necessary.

Watch this step-by-step video master class, you will love it!

These are the wonderful vases you can make. If you have any idea of ​​your own that you used to make a craft, be sure to share it with the readers in the comments at the bottom of the article. Maybe someone else would also like to do something similar.

Beautiful zoo at the dacha made from bottles

Many people are now striving to make beautiful sculptures on their property. This is due to the fact that most people come to their dacha not only to stand in the garden all day long, but also to take a break from the city. And if your dacha is beautifully decorated, then your vacation will be good.

Most often, the figures are made in the form of animals. Making such crafts is quite easy, and the material is always at hand.

This frog princess looks good on the stone.

You can make an African composition like this.

To make your vegetable plantings look attractive, place such a wonderful donkey among the pumpkins or zucchini with eggplants.

Or such a cunning fox.

If you show your imagination, you can even place penguins in your garden.

There is no need to talk about our traditional forest and cartoon animals, such as these bunnies. Children will surely love them.

If you collect several bottles of different sizes, you can settle a family of pigs somewhere under a bush.

Previously, we talked about making a donkey, which, if placed among the vegetables, can be used to decorate the garden bed with this craft. And if you attach a cart in the form of a vase with flowers to it, you will get an outdoor flower bed.

Good luck in making wonderful crafts and success in your creative endeavors!

Flowers are a wonderful decoration. It's wonderful when there are fresh flowers, but this is not always the case. When you can’t get live plants, you can make them yourself. For example, made of plastic. A master class on flowers made from plastic bottles with your own hands will help you with this.

No special material is required, just empty plastic bottles. But then these products can be used to decorate not only an apartment, but also to place them outside, for example, in a country house. These are the wonderful crafts you can make:

So, how to make flowers for the garden?

Tender cornflowers

To work you will need:

1. Blue and green plastic bottles;
2. Rigid wire in a plastic sheath;
3. Beads;
4. Candle or gas burner;
5. Knife or scissors, awl.

Cut off the top and bottom of a blue plastic bottle and cut it lengthwise to get a piece of plastic. Cut the flower blank to the desired size, as shown in the photo. For one flower you need 2 blanks.

Using hot air, the workpiece is softened and deformed. In this case, you should try to give the flower the desired shape with tweezers. To avoid getting burned, you should hold the workpiece with pliers.

Attention! The plastic should not come into contact with fire, as this will melt it and all work will have to start all over again.

When the petals are ready, pierce them in the middle with a hot awl.

Cut a corolla-shaped blank from the green bottle as shown.

Heat it up, shape it into the desired shape and pierce it in the middle.

The stem is made of wire. If you want to make a bouquet, you can take a stranded wire and disassemble it into several stems. Like this.

The wire needs to be decorated. To do this, cut a green bottle into a spiral strip, heat it over a fire, wrap the wires and fuse it. All that remains is to collect the flower. Place a green corolla on the stem, then two blue petals. You can glue the structure together for reliability, and attach beads to the middle.

Making flowers is not at all difficult, but it is an interesting process and a beautiful result.

Roses for the lady of the heart

To get started, you can make templates.

For one flower you will need 7 templates, each next one is smaller than the previous one.

Cut them out of blue bottle plastic. This way.

Make a hole in the middle with an awl.

Soften the pieces with hot air and use tweezers to give them a natural shape.

Stencil for the whisk.

Cut a blank from a green bottle, treat it with hot air and pierce it with an awl.

For the stem, cut the bottle into a 1 cm wide spiral.

Take the wire.

Wrap it around, heating it with hot air.

Leave one end free.

Place a corolla on the free end, followed by the petals, in descending order.

Then press the flower tightly, freeing the end of the wire and bend it, securing the petals.

Stencil for leaves.

Cut out leaves from plastic.

Melt, bending the cuttings in a spiral.

Soften the lower tip of the branch and screw it to the rose stem.

You can make a whole bouquet.

Clivia flower

Well, now step-by-step instructions for making a flower that will look great both at home and outside.

For this craft, in addition to the usual things, you will need: large beads, green electrical tape and aerosol acrylic and alkyd paints.

First you need to make 7 pistils and 42 stamens. For pistils, take a wire, 20-25 cm, string a green bead in the middle and bend the wire in half. Place 22 more green beads on the double ends. For the stamens, do the same, only the first bead will be silver, and the rest will be blue or white.

One flower requires 1 pistil and 7 stamens. Take a 20 cm aluminum wire, lubricate it with PVA and screw a pestle to it with a thread. The stamens are distributed around and also screwed together.

Now the flower. Cut off the top of 7 transparent bottles. Make 6 cuts towards the neck and round the ends, making petals, as in the photo.

Treat with hot air. First between the petals, then the edges.

Apply 2 coats of paint on both sides. It's better to work outside.

Once the red paint has dried, paint the middle with yellow paint.

Set the flowers aside to dry.

Then unscrew the plug and pierce it with an awl. Pour Master glue into it, add PVA to the middle of the flower, tighten the plug and insert the pestle with stamens.

Paint the plugs of the flowers with green paint, then wrap the wire with electrical tape.

There are leaves left. From 5-6 green bottles, cut leaves of different sizes: 8-10 large, 4 smaller and 4 very small.

Treat with hot air. First along the contour, then in the middle. Make a hole at the bottom, thread the wire and secure it. Wrap it with electrical tape.

Collect a bouquet. Take a long and thick wire, coat the top with glue and wrap the flower with threads.

Let it dry, wrap it with electrical tape 20 cm down, then bend it and tie 3 more flowers. Continue wrapping with electrical tape for another 25-30 cm and again attach 3 flowers, placing them not exactly under the top ones, but between them.

Continue winding and secure 3 small leaves, then 2-3 large ones below, a couple of medium ones and several small ones below.

And this is how they will look on the street.
