how to make a spinner from a plastic bottle for a small child, so that he would love to play with it. Especially if he will also take an active part in the work. Let's start with the simplest option. Take a bottle, cut the bottom. Then gently cut the entire bottle cloth into small strips, coming close to the neck. To get a bright turntable, you can use paint or colored tape. Insulating tape of different colors or just colored paper is also suitable. Glue on plastic and get a multi-colored striped blank. To spin the spinner better, slightly rotate the plastic strips by 45 degrees. Then everything is maximally straightened to get a disk. We fix the cork on a pre-prepared rod or wooden stick. If this is a toy for a child, it is better to make a small gap between the lid and the shaft so that nothing prevents the blades from spinning.
Now, knowing how to make a spinner from a bottle for babies, we move on to the following options. If you need to install a moving bird repeller in the garden, then do not look for improvised material. The easiest way to cut several rectangular plates on the body of a bottle without cutting it completely. Then bend them at an angle of 90 degrees and fix the bottle on a pole. For more noise, you can attach plastic covers on the threads to the workpiece.
The second way to make a turntable from a plastic bottle involves the use of several blanks. Take the biggest bottle. To it, with the help of threads or wire, we attach separate parts from the rest of the workpieces. Here we use only bottoms and necks, the middle of the bottles in this version is not needed. We fasten three parts on each tier, turning them with emptiness in one direction. For example, below you are three necks with lids that look to the left. And from above you fixed three bottoms, which are directed in the other direction. This is necessary so that your pinwheel spins from the wind from any direction. If desired, add covers for additional noise. Then we fix the whole structure on a pole.
Now you already know several ways of making a spinner from a plastic bottle. We turn to complex, but more beautiful options. To decorate the garden, it is better to make rotating lanterns. A little more effort, but the result is more impressive. Glue transverse stripes of different colors on the bottle. The brighter they are, the nicer your pinwheel will be. Then mark on a flat surface of the bottle vertical stripes from the bottom to the neck. Using a sharp knife, cut through the plastic through. Squeeze the bottle slightly to bend the strips in the middle. For better torsion at the neck and bottom, we also make bends in different directions. Now we drill a hole in the lid and pull the rope through it to hang a turntable with it.
If you start to do all this, then other ideas will come to you as you work. You can use the halves of the bottles or cut special grooves in them. If there are no large containers, then two bottles are joined together and the required size is obtained. Give it a try. Involve the kids. And you will succeed.
