For those who like creative ideas for the design of the room, it’s quite a good idea to make a home chair out of plastic bottles with your own hands. Here are some options for how you can create a magnificent product from unnecessary trash that will still serve its master.
Chair made of vertically mounted bottles
This craft is made of empty packaging blocks fastened with tape. To make such a chair out of plastic bottles with your own hands, you must first form the bottom layer. To do this, the container is installed vertically down the neck. Then lay the blocks across and fasten them with tape with the base. The seat itself is made of a block identical to the lower base.
In the corners of the base, risers are attached. They can be made round by installing blocks on top of each other. We should not forget that they are fastened together with tape. The same round blocks make out the armrests. The back is formed in the form of a semicircle.
One-in-one armchair
Many craftsmen sometimes have a desire to make exclusive furniture from unnecessary trash. It will help to make a chair from plastic bottles a master class.
- This model will require exactly the same bottles in both size and color. It is also important to ensure that they are clean and without stickers.
- To make such a chair out of plastic bottles with your own hands, you first need to cut off the tapering part near the lid at half of the eggplants.
- Then the prepared container is put on the area with the lid of the second bottle. Thus, they get a "loaf" of plastic.
- The joint of two connected bottles is glued with tape.
- From these details it is very easy to design a chair.
You can also create a bed, sofa, table from plastic bottles with your own hands.
Do-it-yourself soft chair
To make the craft presentable, you can fit it with foam rubber or synthetic winterizer. It is easiest to make an easy chair in two stages: first make a seat that looks like an ottoman, and then construct a backrest.
- For the seat, the right number of bottles is taken, which are installed on the cardboard template. Another piece of the same pattern is covered on top. The whole structure is fixed with tape.
- Then, a part is cut out of the foam rubber or synthetic winterizer, which will soften the upper part of the seat. It is identical to the cardboard template covering the bottle structure.
- With rectangular parts from the softener, the seat element is turned on the sides. This design can be fixed with a needle and thread.
- The second stage of the bottle is going back and armrests. For them, you can use "loaves" (how to make them, described above).
- The chair can be covered with fabric on top. For this purpose, a tapestry, coats, velor, suede, leatherette are suitable.
An interesting option is covering the chair with wicker from old jeans. To do this, trousers need to be cut into strips 3-5 cm wide. They are sewn into longer, suitable in size (compare by pattern). The edges of the stripes are chopped on a typewriter.
Following the rules of chess weaving, they make an original material for fitting upholstered furniture.
Rocking chair with wooden sidewalls
This craft can be used on the playground for kids to play. But in the house it is very convenient to sit in a rocking chair, made by yourself. The chair made of plastic bottles with wooden sides perfectly fits into the interior, creating unique coziness and comfort.
Unlike the methods described above for manufacturing this type of furniture, additional details will be required here. The sides must be made of wood panels by drilling holes for the necks of the bottles in them. You will also need transverse wooden battens and one single curved part that follows the shape of the bend of the sidewalls.
The width of the rocking chair will depend on the size of the bottles. They are inserted with necks into the openings of the sidewalls. The notches of their bottoms, the eggplants of one side are connected with the bulges of the containers fixed in the holes of the opposite side.
Armchair with wire frame
This craft originally emphasizes the style of minimalism. In fact, there is no embellishment, absolutely nothing more. You could even say that such furniture is extremely appropriate in a high-tech design. This section of the article will explain how to make a chair out of plastic bottles with a wire frame.
It is clear that you need to take for the manufacture of a sufficiently thick wire that can hold its shape at high loads. From it you need to bend the triangular legs and the rim, which will pass along the edge of the chair.
Now weave with a softer wire, grabbing the necks of the bottles and the base rim. After the chair is woven, scotch tape should go along the extreme row of bottles from which the craft is made.
