How to make a bee out of a plastic bottle: tips and tricks
First, we decide on the place where she will "sit". If you plan to decorate a small flower bed with it, then, therefore, choosing a large bottle is not necessary. The best option in this case is a mustard bottle, since it does not even have to be painted. If your plans include decorating a large tree in the country, then we advise you to take an ordinary bottle, which with the help of paint and other small details can be turned into a pretty creation.
Before making a bee out of a plastic bottle, we collect all the necessary materials. We will need:
- several mustard bottles (for small bees) or large (for larger bees);
- black electrical tape;
- black paint;
- small buttons;
- aluminum thin wire.
Buttons are preferred, as gouache can leak on rainy days. The wire should be taken more authentic, so that it is enough for the whole decor. If excess remains, cut it off with scissors or pliers.
So, now we are telling how to make a bee out of a plastic bottle, thereby delighting your child. If you have chosen large plastic containers, then we begin with the process of painting them with yellow paint. After it is completely dry, glue the strips of electrical tape. If you have a clear varnish, we recommend covering it with a bee, again, because rain can ruin your work of art.
Wings can be cut from a transparent plastic bottle and glued to the back of the insect. They can also be inserted into specially made slots. In addition, you can initially draw a sketch of the wings on the bottle from which the body is supposed to be made, and then cut them out with a sharp knife (this step should be done before staining and pasting with tape so that the wings remain transparent).
Using the “Moment” glue we fix the eyes of the bee. It is best to use it, because it fixes all the details reliably and for a long time, therefore, you will not have to remake the bee after a week.
After the glue dries, we make a small antennae from the wire to our bee. In addition, it is necessary to make fastening on top, so that our creation can be hung on a tree.
Since making a bee from a plastic bottle is easy enough, you can create a whole swarm. We hang the finished craft (crafts) on the tree and enjoy the result.
