From 5 liter plastic bottles. Crafts from plastic bottles: instructions, photos

Since Soviet times, bottles have been collected and invented use on the farm.

Today they are used to make jewelry, toys and even furniture.

Summer residents use containers to decorate their plots.

Let's look at examples of how you can make crafts from plastic bottles with your own hands for the street, cottage, garden, vegetable garden, what other components are needed for this, and look at photos of the products.

We offer you step-by-step instructions for making a palm tree craft with photos.

To make a palm tree from plastic containers, brown bottles are cut to the hangers, the edges are cut into triangles and folded back. In the middle of the bottom drill a hole and string it on or a metal rod installed on the ground.

Green bottles are cut in half lengthwise. The edges of the workpieces are cut, imitating small leaves.

Plastic leaves bolted together.

For the lush crown of palm trees assembled from several levels and glued to the trunk.

Looks beautiful near the gazebos and in front of the entrance to the site.

Flowers

For flowers, prepare a trunk - a painted thick wire.

To make chamomile, you will need white containers. Most often, milk drinks are sold in this type of store. Petals are cut out of it, fastened together by drilling a hole and tightening it with a bolt. The middle is made from the bottom of a brown bottle.

The bell is also cut out of white bottles. They cut off their heads, cutting the edges with corners. A hole is pierced in the lid, where a wire is inserted and attached to the barrel.

These flowers will decorate paths in the garden or between the beds.

Thus, the variety of flowers made depends on how to cut the blanks and how to fasten them together.

Vase

Now let's look at how to make a small vase for decorating a porch or window sill on the veranda. You will need:

• 2 bottles;
• scissors;
• spray paint;
• PVA glue;

The bottom and neck are cut off from one bottle. The thread is cut off from the latter, turned over and the wide side is attached to the bottom glue gun. The upper part is cut off from the second, the thread is removed, and the edges are decorated with a wavy line. The narrow part is glued to the first workpiece.

Surface of the vase smear with glue and sprinkle her rice. After drying, the bottles are painted with spray paint in two colors.

birdhouse

A circle is cut out on the side, it will become the entrance. To the top glue parts from disks, imitating tiles. The house is painted, decorated beautifully and straw or tow is placed inside.

To make it more convenient for birds to climb inside the birdhouse, glue a round stick or a piece of pencil in front of entrance. A wire is threaded through the lid to form a loop.

Flowerbed or flower garden

Fencing flower beds with bottles has become common. They are cut, filled with soil and flower beds are arranged, as shown in the photo.

In the ground next to the plants put upside down bottoms and paint them. The resulting shapes are, for example, a ladybug or a flower.

Figurines for the garden in the form of animals

Animals from bottles are made as toys for children's playgrounds in the country or to decorate the garden. You can create favorite cartoon character, a copy of pets or make any fantasy come true.

Examples of such work are in the photo below.

Cat

These figures will become great decoration on the porch or in front of the gazebo. What you will need for this composition:

• bottles 1.5 l and 0.5 l;
• stationery knife;
• paints;
• glue gun;
• color package.

For stability the container is filled with earth, it will become the body of a cat. The remaining details are cut out from the second container: muzzle, ears, tail.

The cut off necks are used to make cat paws. Fasten everything with glue and paint. A bow from a bag or other decorations is glued to the neck.

Piglets

Such pigs are suitable decoration for a playground or garden beds. The container is filled with sand, the ears and tail are glued on.

Capacity painted in pink color and draw nostrils with eyes.

The photo below shows two examples of how you can make a pig.

Frog

To create such a “frog princess”, you will need:

• about 12 green containers and one yellow;
• stationery knife and scissors;
• glue gun;
• a regular lighter and gas cylinder with a lighter attachment.

First, the body is made. Two bottles cut from one side along. Remove the neck, unfold it and cut off the excess. Glue them together so that you get a body and an open mouth.

“Warts” are burned on the back.

The necks of the other two containers, along with the lids, will serve as bulging eyes.

On a yellow container, a pattern is cut out with a stationery knife on the base for the future crown. Then the container is turned inside out, connecting the neck and bottom inside with glue. The crown is ready, it is attached to the top of the head.

For the paws, blanks are cut out from seven bottles and carefully warmed up with fire from a gas cylinder so that the plastic deforms and becomes pliable. The blanks are glued together and attached to the body. All that remains is to melt the sharp edges with a lighter.

Peacock

To make a peacock, except for bottles, additional materials will be needed:

• two metal rods;
• Styrofoam;
• metal grid;
• wire;
• paint in cans;
• knife and scissors;
• lighter.

The rods will become the legs of a bird, the body is attached to them from a 5 liter canister. The neck consists of two bottles. The head is cut out of foam plastic.

For the wings and tail, use a mesh, to which feathers tied with wire, cut with scissors.

Feathers for the body can be cut similarly to the tail or make them smaller and thinner, glue to the body with glue.

Next, the beak and crest on the head are made. Before making the peacock's plumage, feathers melt with a lighter and stick into foam. At the end, the craft is painted from a balloon and patterns are drawn on the tail.

Swan

Homemade swans decorate flower beds, flower beds and ponds.

For the simplest option to make a swan you will need:

• net;
• Styrofoam;
• wire;
• thick metal rod;
• corrugated hose (suitable for a washing machine);
• paints.

A body frame is made from mesh, and plastic feather blanks are tied to it. The metal rod is bent, it will act as a neck. Cover it with a hose.

The head is cut out of foam plastic and placed on the end of the rod. The figure is painted and placed in the right place.

Hedgehog

The hedgehog's body is made from a barrel-shaped container. The middle of another bottle is cut out and rolled into a cone, this will be the muzzle.

The parts are fastened with a heat gun, and the ears are made in the same way.

From other bottles make strips and cut out needles, glue them to the body with plates, overlapping.

The eyes are cut out of plastic and painted. The nose is formed from the scraps. The toes are made from cocktail straws.

At the end, the craft is painted and it is ready to decorate the garden.

Hare

One of the simplest designs.

3-5 liter bottle filled with sand. From another cut out the ears and glue them to the base. All that remains is to draw a funny face of a hare.

Donkey

To make a donkey you need:

• two large containers;
• three bottles of 1.5 l;
• rods or plastic pipes for legs, four pieces;
• wire for tail;
• glue and paints.

From a five-liter container make a torso and glue the neck to it from 1.5 l.

For the muzzle, cut off the bottom, carefully shape the edges into a mouth, and attach half the bottle in the form of a head. Ears are cut out from a five-liter container and glue it.

The entire structure is placed on its “legs” and painted.

Wolf

To create a wolf, the hero of the cartoon “Once Upon a Time There Was a Dog,” additional materials needed:

• metal grid;
• wire;
• polyurethane foam.

The base of the body is a large container and a net. Wire arms and legs are attached to them.

The muzzle is made from a 5-liter bottle, and the nose from a 2-liter bottle. The main structure is tied wire to the picket fence, it is dug into the ground.

The figure is given the desired shape using polyurethane foam; after hardening, the excess is cut off and the surface is treated sandpaper.

Final stage– coloring.

beds

Summer residents use bottles to plant seedlings and create neat garden beds.

Manufacturing is very simple: you need to cut a hole in the side, fill with soil and plant shift.

Round bottles cut across, we get “glasses”.

We suggest you look at the pictures below and use them as an example of making a flower bed.

Drip irrigation

For drip irrigation plants in greenhouses no need to buy special equipment.

The bottoms of the bottles are cut off and holes are made in the caps. To distribute water to several plants, you can add tubes from IVs. The inverted container is placed in the desired location and filled with water.

Fence for the front garden

Plastic containers can be good material for making fences in vegetable gardens and front gardens.

Pillars are dug in, through holes are made in the container, bottom and top in each. passes through them thick stretched wire, fixed to poles.

Pinwheel

A simple pinwheel, cut from one bottle. A hole is made in the middle of the workpiece, a nail with a large head is driven through it or a bolt is threaded through it.

They are attached to a vertical surface not tightly, but loosely, so that the wind turns the pinwheel.

Berries

Spectacular decorations for flower beds and beds. Select barrel bottles, cut off the neck, bottom mounted on metal rods, playing the role of a stem.

Leaves are cut out of green plastic, the structure is assembled, painted and stuck into the ground.

ladybugs

Cute bugs from painted bottoms and ping pong balls, will become a decoration for the nursery play area in the country.

Butterflies

On transparent plastic paint with stained glass paints bright butterflies, and then simply cut them out. Such crafts made from PET bottles can be used outdoors and in the apartment.

They are placed on the leaves indoor plants using double-sided tape or glued to wallpaper.

Approximate number of bottles for crafts

The table shows what can be made from plastic containers and approximately how many bottles are needed for a particular craft.

Useful video

This video presents ideas of what can be made from plastic bottles with your own hands:

The amount of garbage that each person “produces” is growing every year. The problem is becoming global as flying plastic bags and the plastic bottles lying everywhere have become an eyesore for everyone. I’m grieving, it turns out that you can help, and even for your own benefit. In any case, this applies to plastic bottles. You will be surprised how varied and, importantly, useful crafts from plastic bottles can be made in literally a matter of minutes. Well, or a watch... Depends on the scale.

The buildings

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a thermoplastic from which bottles are made. It will be useful to know its physical properties:

• density - 1.38-1.4 g/cm³,
• softening temperature (t size) - 245 °C,
• melting temperature (t pl.) - 260 °C,
• glass transition temperature (t st.) - 70 °C,
• decomposition temperature - 350 °C.

Plastic bottles are very convenient to use, but are harmful to the environment, since the polyethylene from which they are made takes more than 200 years to decompose. This same property allows the use of almost waste raw materials as construction material. Craftsmen already even build houses from plastic bottles, as well as sheds, dachas, greenhouses, greenhouses, and fences. Worked out various technologies- the approach is quite serious.

How to build a house from plastic bottles

The basic idea is to pour bulk material into bottles, screw them on with caps and use them as bricks. Fill the bottles with sand and soil. Sand is preferable because there is too much plant debris in the soil that can rot. It must be sifted, dried, filled into bottles, compacted well, and topped up. The result is a kind of brick.

To build a house from plastic bottles, you will need a solution that fills the gaps between the “bricks”. There are options here too. This can be a regular mortar, which is used when laying brick walls, or you can make a clay mortar. To keep the “bricks” in the wall until the mortar sets, they are tied with twine on the side of the lids. Later, these “grids” will come in handy when you plaster the walls. They turn out uneven, so you can’t do without leveling.

We make a greenhouse, barn, greenhouse

You can build a greenhouse or greenhouse from plastic bottles. In this case, use only transparent plastic, since it is necessary for light to pass through in sufficient quantities. To build a shed, on the contrary, it makes sense to choose darker plastic - it will be less visible what’s inside.

The first technology - one to one

The second requirement for bottles as a building material is an even shape. This one, you know, without recesses. Otherwise, folding the walls so that they retain heat will not work - it will “siphon” into the curly cutouts. Remove labels from bottles and dry. You also need to prepare pins or rods - bottles are strung on them. Their diameter is small so that the neck passes freely. Now you can start building a greenhouse/shed from plastic bottles.

To build a greenhouse or shed, pillars are dug in the corners. Frames are assembled from timber according to the size of the walls. These frames will be the base for the bottle walls. We assemble them (the frames) on the ground and, ready-made, attach them to the dug-in pillars. When you make the frames, don't forget the doorway and windows.

We build a frame, cut off the bottom of the bottles, and string them onto a pin. From such “columns” we assemble walls, roof

The construction process begins with cutting off the bottom. We string the cut bottles onto pins, pointing the necks in one direction. We insert the bottles with force so that they become very tight. Having collected a number required height, attach it to the frame. You can fasten it with clamps, strips cut from metal, nails... In any way available to you. We press the second row against the first so that there is a slight deformation. We fasten it in this position. So, row by row, we assemble all the walls, then the roof.

Using the same technology you can make a gazebo. But here there is no need for tightness, so you can collect shaped and colored containers. This will make it even more interesting (example in the photo).

Second technology - sewing plastic

Bottles will also need to be smooth, transparent or yellow. The central part is cut out of them, obtaining a piece of plastic square shape. The pieces are sewn together into long strips. In the strip, the pieces are placed so that they curl in one direction. Then the strips are sewn into canvases. To make the canvas even, the strips are positioned so that they curl in different directions. As a result, they equalize each other. The finished canvases are nailed to the frame. This completes the construction of the greenhouse for plastic bottles.

This type of “cladding” for greenhouses withstands winters well; it does not need to be removed. Due to the firmware (many small holes), there is no absolute tightness, which allows you to regulate humidity. You won’t be able to heat such a greenhouse, but it will delay autumn for you and speed up the arrival of spring.

You can sew plastic for a greenhouse by hand, but it is not easy. It will be easier for those who have non-capricious Sewing machines. Old Podolsk machines cope with this task. There may be problems with others.

Fence and enclosure

You can make a fence from plastic bottles in various ways. If you need a serious monolithic fence, you can use bottles as bricks. The technology is the same as when building a house. To avoid plaster (after all, there is a high risk that it will collapse) - select the color of the plastic to obtain the required Rusinka. But in this case you will have to look for “building materials” of the same diameter or from different sizes lay out patterns. In general, the process is creative, no matter how you look at it.

You can also make filling for the fence from plastic bottles. Make a frame, say, from wood, and come up with a beautiful filling from shaped containers and their parts.

Furniture from scrap materials: recycling plastic bottles

Not only can you make a house and a fence from plastic bottles, they are also used as a basis for upholstered furniture. The idea is to use plastic containers rather than wood for the frame. With the lids tightly screwed on, they have a high load-bearing capacity, and when assembled into blocks, they are quite capable of withstanding loads of up to 100 kg or more.

A bed made of plastic bottles... needed good mattress, and the base is not too difficult to make

Although the furniture is made differently, the general algorithm of actions is the same:

• Select “building material” that is the same height and tighten the lids well.
• Assemble blocks of the required size, securing them with tape.
• Having assembled the base of the required shape, sew the cover. For softness adding furniture foam rubber.

The trick is to ensure that the bottles fit very tightly against each other and do not move. The slightest play can lead to destruction of the structure. Therefore, assemble the blocks slowly, carefully securing them. You can stack bottles in layers, securing each layer in several places. For the inner layers, it is better to use double-sided tape - the fixation will be more reliable.

Ottomans/banquettes

The easiest way is to make an ottoman or banquette from plastic bottles. We proceed in the order described above. You need to find bottles of the same height. It’s better if they are the same shape - it’s easier to assemble. From plastic containers with tightly screwed lids we assemble a base in the form of a cylinder. It is advisable that the radius of the base be greater than the height of the bottles - this way the bench will not tip over.

Next, you need to cut out two circles from fiberboard, which will be slightly larger than the resulting radius of the base - this is the “bottom” and the base of the seat. We secure them with tape. We take furniture foam rubber and, according to the obtained dimensions, cut out the necessary parts. We sew a cover from furniture fabric, colors that suit the interior.

Such a banquette can be not only round. It is quite possible to make it square. And so that this furniture is not too light, it can be made heavier by pouring water. But water is not very reliable. It's better to pour sand. Both heavier and more reliable.

Sofas, chairs, armchairs

If you need furniture higher than one bottle, proceed as when creating walls for a house. Find “material” of the same shape and height. Leave the first bottle intact, screw the cap tightly (you can add sand to prevent it from turning over). The bottom of the other is cut off and one is placed on top of the other. The bottle goes a certain distance and does not move further, no matter how much effort you make. If the resulting height is enough, great; if not, put on the next one. This is how you assemble rows of the required height, then fasten them into blocks.

There is another way. It is more reliable in the sense that the bottles are not held by compressed air, but due to mechanical stop. And they have double walls, which is also important. Disadvantage: more work large quantity raw materials are needed. The whole process is illustrated step by step.

1. Take the bottle and cut it approximately in the middle of the height (the upper part with the neck is smaller).
2. We insert the upper part of the neck (the lid is screwed on) until it stops into the lower part.
3. We take a whole one, the same size and shape, and insert it bottom down into the prepared structure.
4. We cut the third approximately in half and put the lower part on the top (with a lid).

From such modules we assemble blocks of the required configuration, fastening them with tape. Don't skimp on scotch. You can first fasten two bottles together, then assemble larger blocks from the double ones.

As you understand, with this technology there are a lot of bottle tops left (half of the third bottle). They can be used to make other crafts from plastic bottles: flowers, more practical things for the household.

Flower making methods

The most common crafts made from plastic bottles are garden figurines and flowers. About garden figurines read There are others interesting ideas, but there are a lot of collected interesting animals and insects. And we’ll tell you about flowers made from plastic bottles below - these are probably the crafts made from plastic bottles that bring the most pleasure. The process is simple, there are a lot of possibilities, the result is amazing.

You've probably noticed that the bottom of a PET bottle looks like a flower. All you need to do is find a bottle of a beautiful color and cut off the bottom. Now you have a nice flower. In the middle you can add petals cut from the central part, a core from plastic strips cut into noodles, or glue beads inside, but more on that in a little more detail.

Using the power of fire

To work, you will need a marker, a lighter or a candle (it’s more convenient with a candle). If you have them, take pliers, tweezers or pliers to hold the workpiece while processing. You will also need acrylic paints, glue and beads may be needed. The entire manufacturing process comes down to a few steps:

There are a lot of options here. Just start doing it. It may not work out perfectly right away, but you will understand what and how you can fix it. Check out some more pictures from step by step photos process of making flowers from plastic bottles.

The simplest

For beginner crafters, you can try making flowers from plastic bottles simple shapes for garden decoration. In this case, you can also use milk containers. To avoid painting plastic, look for colored ones. And it doesn’t matter so much whether they are transparent or not. They can be combined to produce flowers of different shapes.

To create such flowers, use the part near the neck. It is cut to form petals. Next - warm it up a little, giving the desired bend to the petals, a little paint, the core from a melted piece with a thread (a bottle of a smaller diameter, a pharmacy bottle will do). So it turned out to be a buttercup.

Another option is to cut from the neck into strips of equal width - 1-1.5 cm, bend them (warm up a little at the base). Make a middle whisk from the side of a milk bottle or paint clear plastic acrylic paint.

The middle is any bright. Here is a piece of cork, but you can cut it into thin noodles, roll it up and then heat it. You will get a shaggy core.

It's all about the form... Despite the imperfections, they decorate the area

The topic is actually inexhaustible. A variety of flowers are made from plastic bottles. From simple and uncomplicated to very realistic. It's not so much a matter of skill as different tastes and desires.

Useful ideas for the home

PET containers turned out to be such a good material that many useful things are made from them. In this section we have collected useful crafts made from plastic bottles that can be used around the house.

For the kitchen and more

If you cut off the bottom of a bottle with a capacity of 2–3 liters, you get a bowl or a bowl, and so that its edges are even, they can be melted on a heated iron. But so that you don’t have to clean the sole later, use a special silicone pad. If you don't have one, you can do this through a sheet of baking parchment.

Container for food. The plastic is food grade...

From the same bottle we cut off the threaded part. There should be 1-2 cm of plastic left around the thread (we melt the edges using a well-known technology). Now it won’t be difficult to seal any package hermetically: we pass it through the cut neck, wrap it outward, and screw on the lid.

The bottom of the bottles attached to the bar makes an excellent newspaper shelf (photo on the right). You can also store umbrellas.

From plastic cut into strips you can weave different shapes containers. Bottles need an even shape, with thick walls. They are cut into strips of a certain thickness. You need to cut in a spiral - the result is quite long strips. If their length is not enough, they are sewn perfectly.

Lampshades

You can even make a lampshade, but under one condition: you will use similar crafts from plastic bottles in lamps - only they hardly heat up. Plastic is incompatible with other lamps. We will describe three ways to make a lampshade from a plastic bottle.

First. Need a bottle large capacity. We draw it into strips of equal width. At the beginning and at the end of each strip, we make holes with a heated soldering iron or a nail heated on fire. We insert scissors into this hole and cut. The result is smooth stripes.

When the strips are cut, we also make a hole in the bottom, pass a thick fishing line through the neck, take it out through the hole in the bottom, and attach the decor to the back side. Maybe a button, maybe a pebble suitable color. Now, by pulling the fishing line, we get an interesting shaped lampshade. You can put a low power light bulb in it.

Another lampshade was made using a similar technology. But then they cut part of the bottle with the neck into strips, wrapped the strips and secured them to the neck. To give the desired shape The bend area can be slightly warmed over the flame of a candle or lighter. We attach the resulting “flowers” ​​to the base. So we get an unusual design.

They also make lampshades from the bottoms. You need to find a sufficient number of identical bottles, cut off the bottom of them, and glue them together using universal glue (choose transparent). The main thing is that it glues the plastic and hardens quickly.

Flower vases

Making a vase from a plastic bottle - what could be easier... Just cut off the neck and you're done. But there is a technique that allows you to get patterned walls. You will need a soldering iron with the thinnest tip possible. Its power should not be too high. Then everything is simple: use a heated tip to burn out the patterns.

Magically! To make the drawing appear brighter, take acrylic paint and paint the resulting beauty. The paint can be in a regular can, but it’s faster and more convenient to work with a spray can.

These are the options...

Photo ideas

Crafts from plastic bottles is such a broad topic that it is impossible to talk about everything. What’s nice is that if you know a few tricks, you can easily find out how and what to do just by looking at photographs. So here we have collected a few ideas that we found interesting.

You can even make a boat...

And this is just decoration...
