factor and contributes to the fact that plastic palm trees more and more appear in our area. The second factor that led to the popularity of such products is ease of manufacture. Something special will not be needed during the creation process, and because of the elementary nature, the design of such a tree is even within the capabilities of a novice craftsman. All this is complex and contributes to the fact that more and more people are asking the question: "How to make a palm tree out of a plastic bottle?". As part of this material, we will try to give an exhaustive answer to it.
Before work
In the process of creating a palm tree, we will need the following:
- a set of containers of green and brown color (i.e. beer containers);
- metal rod or wooden holder;
- thin wire;
- marker;
- knife;
- ruler;
- Scotch.
If necessary, the above list can be expanded, but, as practice shows, this is quite enough to make a masterpiece that will please the eye after another year. If everything from the list is available, then we will consider how to make a palm tree from a plastic bottle.
Make the trunk
It is best to use a metal rod as a rod. Its length should be more than half a meter than the full height of the tree. It is on these half a meter that at least it should be driven into the soil. Next we will need a brown container. It is most optimal for these purposes to use a set of identical bottles with a capacity of 2 liters. For all but one, we cut the bottom at a distance of 3-5 cm. The last of them is cut at the end of the cone, and we will need its lower part. In the lid we make a hole with a diameter that should correspond to the cross section of the metal rod previously prepared for creating the craft. We put them on him so that they fit snugly into each other (like nesting dolls). At this point, the first step in learning how to make a palm tree out of a plastic bottle is over.
Finish
Now you need to make the top of the tree. To do this, we first need a green container. We cut it diagonally from the end of the cone from above to
opposite corner of the base. Then we attach the resulting craft to the necessary form at our discretion. In the last brown bottle (more precisely, at its base), we make holes with a diameter equal to the neck of the green container. We install the made petals in them and fix them using the lid. Next, the resulting crown is installed at the top of the trunk. So the palm from plastic bottles is ready. Instructions for its creation are not particularly difficult. Such work is beyond the power of anyone, including a novice master.
Conclusion
Container capacity does not play a special role. From almost any bottle you can make such a masterpiece that will become an elegant decoration of your garden or playground in the yard. You can try to do without a rod or a holder, but in this case the tree will be unstable, the wind can break it. So for greater reliability, it is better to use such a stabilizing element. And so it is made of such a simple material as plastic bottles, palm trees. The master class, which is described in this article, makes it easy to create such a decoration.
