Crafts from plastic bottles for a garden and summer residence

- Decoration from plastic bottles

All that is required for this is scissors, paints and bottles themselves. We cut off the bottom of the bottles. In this case, do not level the edges with scissors, since in the future the bottles will be digged into the ground.

We paint bottoms with enamel paints or anyothers for external work. We dig the bottoms into the ground while creating the desired composition. You can pour wooden chips around the plastic "flowers" to make the decoration look more expressive.

- "The Bee"

Prepare the paint black and yellow,scissors and two bottles of plastic. First we paint one bottle in yellow. Then draw on it a strip of black paint. From the second bottle we cut out two bee wings, we paint with yellow paint. We glue the wings.

It remains only to attach a hand-made lace or string and hang on a bush or tree. You can make several "bees" of different sizes - then a real bee swarm will settle in the garden.

- «Flower« Decorative »

We prepare scissors, wire, bell anda bottle of plastic. Cut the neck of the bottle, cut the bottom part with petals. Bend the cut petals up. To the bottle cap we attach a wire in the form of a handle. We hang a flower on a branch of a bush or tree. If a bell is attached inside the bottle, then a beautiful ringing will be carried around the garden.

- "Decorative fence"

We prepare several bottles of plastic,water or sand. First remove the labels from the bottles (we choose the bottles by their color). In the bottle, pour water or pour sand. Then we dig them into the ground in a row, making a fence.

To them we can fence the garden path, dividebeds (separate, for example, cabbage from carrots), etc. To fence looked more interesting, you can alternate bottles of different colors or pour in them a multicolored filler.

- Palm

We prepare green and brown plasticbottles, a pair of iron long rods and a drill. First of all, we make a barrel - we cut the bottom from each bottle (about 20 cm high). For the texture of the edge, cut the teeth and slightly bend them to mimic the scales of the trunk of the palm.

Drill a hole in each drillThe workpiece, corresponding to the diameter of the rod (it will serve as the basis for the trunk). Take the green bottles and cut them in half, cutting the edges in the form of leaves. At half of the blanks we leave the necks, and at the ends of the other half we drill holes of the required diameter.

After all the blanks have been made, you canproceed with the assembly. We take the rod, it must be elastic and rigid, but not thick. When making leaves for a palm tree, we cut the bottles, and then we put them one into the other, the neck into the neck, and on the last we leave the cork. Drill a hole in it and pass a rod into it. To the leaves do not fall, the rod on the end bend - and our palm is ready.

Doing all these crafts from plastic bottles is not so difficult, but how beautiful and original they will be!
