How to make a rose from a plastic bottle:

What materials and tools are needed to make a rose from a plastic bottle?
Depending on what color of rose you want to make, prepare a blue, white or red bottle. For the stem and leaf - green. We will also need a candle, scissors, an awl, a marker and a piece of rigid wire wrapped in a coil.

1:635 1:644

Bud preparation:

Cut the bottle into squares (we will need 7 squares, see picture), then draw petals on each: large, medium and small, and then cut them out. Use an awl to make holes in the center of each piece. Give the pieces a natural shape over a candle flame.

Preparation of sepals and leaves:

We make the sepals and leaves from a green plastic bottle. The technology for making these parts is the same as for the bud.

3:813 3:822

5:1831

Stem preparation:

The stem, like all the green parts of the flower, is made from a green plastic bottle. To do this, we cut out a ribbon in a spiral, and then wrap it on a piece of rigid wire over the candles.

5:370 5:379

6:883

Rose assembly:

First we put the sepal on the stem, then we put on the petals of the bud - from the largest to the smallest. To secure the bud to the stem, bend the end of the wire using pliers. Next, take a leaf and twist it over the fire onto the stem. That's all - our rose from a plastic bottle is ready!

8:606 8:615

Making the whisks:

To implement the idea, you will need white yogurt bottles.

8:771 8:780

From them you need to cut out circles with a diameter of about 10 cm, inside of which you need to draw a small circle with a felt-tip pen, which will serve as the middle of the flower. Next, make 16 cuts around the circumference in each workpiece.

8:1148 8:1157

Using scissors, round off the edges of the petals and make a hole in the center with an awl. For the splendor of the flower, you can use two of these blanks. Then molding is carried out over a candle flame.

8:1515

8:8

This technique will give the petals a natural and slightly curved shape. You should be extremely careful here, because if you remain above the flame for a long time, the parts can be seriously deformed.

8:374 8:383

9:887

Preparing the center of the flower:

To make a chamomile center you will need a yellow bottle. Cut out two or three circles with a diameter of about 2 cm. Using nail scissors, make a fringe along the edge and lightly curl it over the candle. On one piece, cut out a small part, about 1/5 of the circle.

9:1442 9:1451

Making the sepals, stem and leaves:

The stem can be a wooden skewer or a wire in a winding. Next is the technology, like the rose.

10:275 10:284

From a green plastic bottle, cut out a spiral-shaped strip, no more than 0.5 cm thick. Using a candle, wind it onto the stem. To create the sepals, cut out several green five or six-pointed stars.

10:701 10:710

Over the flame, again give the desired shape. Also make chamomile leaves from a green bottle.

10:892 10:901 11:1405 11:1414

Collecting a flower:

The final stage of assembly.

11:1506

First put the sepals on the pointed part of the stem, then the bases of the petals and the yellow cores.

11:194 11:203

If you use a skewer as a stem, then put a piece of plasticine on its end; if you used wire, then make a loop so that the parts do not fall off.

11:516 11:525

Then attach the leaves to the stem by holding them over the candle. That's all, the chamomile from a plastic bottle is ready!

11:733 11:742 12:1246 12:1255

How to make a peony from a plastic bottle:

The peony differs from previous works only in its bud and larger leaves on the stem. Therefore, below we provide instructions on how to make the bud itself, and you can make the stem and leaves using the method described above.

12:1713 12:8

13:512

Blank for peony:

Let's make a template on paper - draw a whisk in three sizes.

13:697 13:706

Now we make three blanks - this time we take a transparent container, and then paint it in the desired bright color. Be sure to cut through each petal almost to the core.

13:1018 13:1027

We give the whisks a “live” look by holding the workpiece over a candle.

13:1151 13:1160

14:1664

Coloring and assembling the bud:

We cover the blanks with acrylic paint from a can.
We assemble the details of the bud, gluing them to each other. Then we decorate the core with beads, imitating anthers.

14:350 14:359

15:947

16:1451

Parts for blanks:

To create the flower, you will need three white bottle tops without a neck and one yellow bottle top with a neck (if you don't have a yellow bottle, you can make a part out of white or clear plastic and cover it with acrylic paint).

16:1966

16:8

17:512

Making the core of the water lily:

You need to start from the middle of the flower. Take the yellow blank and make 8 petals with rounded ends.

17:772

For the stamens you will need a wide strip of yellow color, cut into noodles.

17:911

Over the flame, wrap the stamens inside, twist the part clockwise, securing with glue.

17:1083

Connect the stamens to the flower core using glue.

17:1188 17:1197 18:1701

Collecting a water lily:

Now take care of the petals of the water lily itself, which are made from white blanks.

18:194

Carefully make oblong petals with pointed ends in a circle.

18:340

Place all three white parts on the core with stamens. The water lily is ready!

18:477 18:486

As you can see, flowers from a plastic bottle can be very different and used for different purposes, so with a little imagination and using our examples, you can create entire compositions that will decorate your home or cottage.

19:1455 19:1464

Plastic bottles are an inexpensive and accessible material from which you can make many unique and original things that can not only decorate your garden or yard, but also bring practical benefits. At the same time, you do not need to have plumbing or construction skills, nor do you need to buy expensive tools and equipment. The instructions below will help you implement the most unusual ideas.

Flowers from polymer containers

You can start the creative process of decorating your suburban area by making flowers from plastic bottles for the garden. This will not require much effort from you, and the result will exceed your wildest expectations. Once you get the hang of it, you can make more than just one flower, but an original and unusual flower bed that will delight the eyes of all the inhabitants of the dacha and its guests.

Before starting work, you need to prepare the following materials:

The required number of polymer containers. Garden crafts made from plastic bottles of the same size and shape will not look very attractive, so it is advisable to diversify the raw materials. Remember, the larger the bottle, the larger the flower corollas will be.
Acrylic paint. It is used for coloring plastic, so before purchasing you need to check the instruction manual and make sure that the selected composition is suitable for application to a plastic surface.

Advice!
If your bottle garden is “grown” from already painted containers, you do not need to buy paint and apply it to the parts, which will speed up the manufacturing process and reduce its labor intensity.

Further work is carried out in the following sequence:

Bottles need to have their necks cut off. There is no need to remove a large amount of plastic, just separate the cork itself and the hangers. The rest of the container will go to the petals and corolla.
Using a garden knife or stationery scissors, cut petals of a suitable size and shape from the bottle. Do not separate them from the bottom of the bottle, since the latter will protrude from the middle of the bud to which the “stem” is attached.

To give the petals a more natural shape, they can be rounded. A knife or metal rod heated with a blowtorch or gas burner will help with this. The first crafts made from plastic bottles for the garden are unlikely to be ideal, however, as you gain experience, your products will look better and better.

You can also make a multi-layered flower. To do this, a second one, cut in a similar way, is attached to the first part using an awl and wire.
The last stage is attaching the stem. The material for it will be a metal rod, a wooden stick, strong wire, and so on.
You can decorate the flower stem as follows:

cut a ribbon from another container with which to wrap the stem, then secure it by melting both ends;
wrap a green hemp rope around a rod or stick and glue it with PVA glue.

Note!
Crafts made from plastic bottles for the garden do not have to be large and tall.
Low small flowers also look attractive.
It is only necessary to organically fit them into the landscape.

Useful devices

Do-it-yourself garden crafts made from plastic bottles can bring not only aesthetic pleasure, but also perform many useful functions. The scope of their application is limited only by your imagination.

Solar water heater

If you have not yet installed an electric or gas heater in your country house, a solar collector will help ensure that the water in the shower is heated to a comfortable temperature.

Like other crafts made from plastic bottles for the garden, this device is made from polymer containers without the use of complex and expensive equipment. The price of hot water in this case will be zero, which, among other things, will help you save on utility bills.

So, to construct the collector you will need the following materials:

plastic bottles with a capacity of 2 liters;
empty milk cartons;
polymer pipes with a diameter of 100 and 20 mm;
accessories for plastic pipes (tees, angles and plugs);
glue for joining plastic parts;
matte black paint;
sandpaper;
duct tape;
paint brush;
wood hacksaw;
mallet.

For ease of presentation, it is advisable to divide the manufacturing process itself into several stages:

The bottom of plastic bottles is cut off, after which they are inserted into each other in pairs and glued together. It is necessary to ensure that the seam is sealed.
The frame is assembled from pipes. Parts with a diameter of 100 mm are needed to form the frame, and smaller ones (20 mm) are suitable for connecting bottles together into a common network. Use fittings in the right places.
The entire collector is mounted on a sheet of plywood, covered with black milk bags on top. The pipes are also painted the same color. This will help increase the heat-absorbing characteristics of the parts and increase the operating efficiency of the entire device.
The finished structure must be installed on the roof of the house or its southern wall. The collector must be mounted at an angle to receive maximum ultraviolet rays.

According to the inventor, the collector panel, with an area of 1 sq. m. effectively heats enough water to wash one person.

Growing plants

What other DIY garden crafts made from plastic bottles can be useful? Naturally those that help in growing plants. We are talking about containers for seedlings, as well as devices that help water the lawn and garden in the summer.

Making both the first and second products is not particularly difficult. All you have to do is cut off the neck of the bottles and make holes for drainage or water dispersion.

If you paint a pot or diffuser with acrylic paints, you will get a garden decoration made from plastic bottles that will also carry a useful load.

Buildings and constructions

House

Immediately after purchasing a country plot of land, any summer resident wants to build a home there to shelter from bad weather, store tools and simply relax after hard work in the garden.

Therefore, when talking about what kind of garden crafts you can make from bottles with your own hands, it would be useful to mention the possibility of building a temporary (and perhaps permanent) residential house from them.

Before replacing traditional bricks or cinder block with polymer containers, check out the following tips:

Bottles need to be filled with river sand. This will increase their strength and reduce the thermal conductivity coefficient.
It is recommended to lay a reinforcing metal mesh between adjacent rows, which will further strengthen the finished structure.
Cement mortar does not stick to plastic, therefore, many holes must be made in each bottle, which will allow the mounting mixture to interact with the sand located inside the container.
During laying, it is advisable to secure the necks of the bottles with twine or wire until the solution completely hardens. This will prevent the wall being built from spreading.

Note!
The polymer from which the bottles are made loses its properties over time due to exposure to adverse environmental conditions.
Therefore, do not expect that your house will last more than 5-10 years.

Other elements of the building can be made from the material in question:

Roof tiles. To do this, plastic bottles need to be heated in the sun so that the polymer softens a little, and then compressed using a steel or wooden sheet with a load placed on top.
Slate. It's even easier to make. You need to remove the neck and bottom of the bottle, and then cut it lengthwise into two parts. The resulting elements can be fastened together using adhesives. You just need to carefully monitor the tightness, otherwise your roof will leak.

Gazebos and greenhouses

However, these are not all ideas for a garden made of plastic bottles. After all, this material can be used to construct a gazebo or greenhouse, replacing expensive polycarbonate or fragile glass. The polyvinyl chloride from which the containers are cast has similar consumer properties.

The work on making a gazebo is carried out as follows:

Using wooden beams, metal corners or polymer pipes, you need to make the frame of the future structure.
Using a drill, awl or a hot knitting needle, holes should be made in the bottom of each part. Then all the bottles are strung on a fishing line or twine, the length of which is slightly greater than the height or width of the frame.
The resulting bunches are fixed both along and across the frame. The layers must be additionally tied together with wire to reduce the vibrations of the bottles in windy weather.
You can create an attractive appearance using containers of various colors and sizes, creating a beautiful ornament from them.

A pergola and a greenhouse are built in the same way as a gazebo, so there is no need to describe this process in detail.

Parking space

Few motorists like it when their “iron friend” is standing under the scorching rays of the sun, rain or snow. Therefore, many people build carports using corrugated sheets or polycarbonate for this purpose.

However, a regular plastic bottle will work just fine. The resulting structure will not cost you much, and with some imagination you can make a canopy that will serve as one of the decorations of your summer cottage.

The work should be done like this:

a hole is made in the bottom or cap of the bottle, after which a fishing line, twine or wire is fixed there;
then the resulting blanks are attached to the frame, forming dense rows;
to prevent the protective coating from being too mobile, the bottles can be additionally cross-linked;
To protect the parts from sunlight, it is advisable to paint them with acrylic paint before installation.

Conclusion

Garden crafts from bottles are not only a way to save on the purchase of certain devices or decorations. With their help, you can show your creative inclinations and emphasize your individuality.

You can get even more ideas and ways to implement them by watching the video in this article.

Many homestead owners create all sorts of products from plastic bottles to decorate their place. You can create real works of art by spending a minimum of money.

Not only decorative items are made from plastic, but even furniture. All you need is a knife, an awl and a little imagination.

In this article we will look in detail at how to make crafts from plastic bottles with your own hands.

Decorating the site

You won’t see any kind of homemade products on personal plots. There are flowers, animals, and trees. You can create beautiful sculptural compositions that will not only decorate the garden, but will also give you a great mood.

Let's look at a couple of instructions for beginners that will help you easily create crafts from plastic bottles. It will be a palm tree and a pig.

Bottle Palm

To make a palm tree you need to create a frame. Its length should be equal to the height of the tree.

Take bottles of the same size, cut off their bottoms and place them on top of each other. Then the leaves are cut out. They are attached to the top of the created structure. When everything is ready, the palm tree is painted green.

Funny pig made from bottles

The pig will look great anywhere in the garden. To make it you will need:

5 liter bottle;
four bottle necks for making legs;
one top part from a bottle, which is cut into two parts to make ears;
wire for tail;
two beads for eyes;
glue;
pink paint.

The parts are connected and secured with glue. The finished product needs to be painted. You can use oil or spray paint. To prevent the piglet from being blown away by the wind, you need to pour sand into it.

In addition to its decorative function, the structure can serve as a flower bed. To do this, the top is cut off, filled with soil and flowers are planted.

Crafts made from plastic bottles for the garden can serve as flower beds, borders or paths. To make a path, bottles are inserted into the ground upside down.

Both whole and cut plastic are used. It is important to fill the bottles with soil so that they do not become deformed when they are walked on.

Use of bottles on the farm

Bottles are used not only for decoration. These can be used to make a dustpan, washbasin, or pest trap.

Undoubtedly, everyone needs a container for storing some items. To make it, just cut off the neck.

The washbasin is also very easy to make with your own hands. The bottom of the bottle is cut off and holes are made through which the rope is threaded. The structure is hung in the desired place and water is poured. To wash your face, just unscrew the cap a little.

To make a trap, you need to cut the container in half. To catch insects, some kind of bait is placed at the bottom. For example, sugar syrup with yeast is suitable for this.

You will need hot water in which the sugar and yeast will dissolve. The cooled liquid must be poured into the trap. Not only flies and wasps, but also mosquitoes will flock to this delicacy.
Note!

Even a child can make a scoop. First you need to outline its shape and then cut it out.

Plastic can be used to make flower pots, greenhouses or containers for seedlings. Descriptions of such crafts made from plastic bottles can be found in large quantities on the Internet, but to create something unique, you need to show your imagination.

It is fashionable to build a self-watering device from plastic containers. To do this, cut the bottle, make holes on the sides and insert the hose into the neck. With the help of such a device, the plants will be perfectly hydrated.

For plants that do not like surface watering, make the following device. The bottom of plastic containers is not completely cut off. A trench is opened on the side of the plant where stones are placed. The bottle is buried upside down.

Then the required amount of water is poured to carry out irrigation. You can place the bottles upside down, but in this case you will need to make holes in the container.

Plastic containers are also used to heat plants. To do this, bottles are filled with warm water and placed around the plant.

Note!

For inspiration, you can look at various photos of crafts made from plastic bottles. You don’t need to put in a lot of effort to make an original decoration or useful item for your garden that will last for many years.
