Plastic bottles will soon become scarce, so many interesting ones are made. The most common craft was a pig. There are many options for execution, so everyone uses what he likes best. To make the figures, empty containers, paints, scissors, a knife, a candle, brushes will be required. That’s probably all.
An excellent piglet is obtained from a 5 liter bottle. If it is flat, then you can do without legs. Piglet and so will wonderfully delve into the beds. Having decided on the purpose of the future crafts, you can choose the right capacity or first collect the bottles, and then think about how and how to make them. A pig made from a plastic bottle, made by yourself, will delight not only you and your loved ones. He will make passers-by and neighbors smile.
The technology for preparing parts is approximately the same for any craft from plastic bottles. Piglet, bee, hedgehog have a head, trunk, tail and legs. The cork is perfectly converted into a piglet piglet or a hedgehog nose. Then try on where and what eyes to do. They can simply be drawn on an already painted workpiece or glued additional details from buttons, plastic, film.
Pig from a plastic bottle with your own hands is perfectly constructed from a round container. For a large pig, you can take a bottle of larger sizes and make a whole family, mother and small piglets. Put a large craft in the center of the flower bed, and lay the kids around. At the same time, for boys, pick flowers with a blue tint, and for girls with pink.
But back to the crafts themselves. To use the bottle as a decoration for a flower bed, you need to cut off its upper part so that it remains a little under the muzzle. After all, it will be necessary to attach ears and eyes somewhere else. The shape of the ears can be drawn classic, like piglets, but if the artist does not live in you, do not be discouraged. Any options you have made will suit your pet, even if they are slightly different from the real ones.
We also make legs from bottles. The choice of capacity will depend on what kind of pig you have. With a do-it-yourself plastic bottle, you can perfectly make both a large pig and a small cub. Therefore, for the legs, select containers corresponding to the general proportions. Necks with lids will be needed.
The tail can be inserted from a plastic strip, from scraps from bottles, from a rope or from wire. Use whatever is convenient for you. Now that all the individual parts are ready, we proceed to painting and assembling. It is better to paint plastic with paints for outdoor use, because your piglets will walk in the garden in the rain.
You can connect all the elements with glue. But if special teeth are cut on the ears and legs, then it will be enough to insert them into the slots made in the body. To prevent the figure from being blown away by the wind and not washed away by the rain, you can make a cutout from the side of the tummy and fix the craft between the pegs. When you fill the future flowerbed with earth, the trees will not be visible, but they will keep the figures in place.
After fixing all the parts, you can draw eyes and nose with paint. The figure is ready, we release it into the flowerbed. A pig made from a plastic bottle, made with his own hands , can stand in splendid isolation. But so he didn’t have to get bored, add friends. It can be pigs or other animals. Together, they will create an excellent landscape in your country house or on the site near the house.
