One of the simplest and most common crafts today are the bells of plastic bottles. There are no restrictions on their creation. The main thing is to include imagination and imagination, and then the result will exceed all your expectations. Now there are many options for creating such crafts. In this material will be given the most simple and most common.
What do you need?
As expected, we will begin to understand how to make bells from plastic bottles so that we can determine the list of necessary materials and tools. First of all, you need a container. Tanks are great
volume 0.5 - 1.5 liters. If you need a very large copy, then you can use containers of 2-3 liters. But from large bottles it makes no sense to do such crafts. They will already look more like bells, and the result from such work will not be exactly the same. For decoration, you can apply several colors or use a set of woolen threads of various colors. Scissors, a knife, a marker (pencil, ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen - whatever is at hand, you can use it), a ruler is a standard set for marking and cutting. Also needed: wire, awl and pliers (for fixing the inner element of the bell).
Quick and easy
The easiest way to make a bell from a plastic bottle is as follows. We take a container of 0.5 liters and cut it, retreating 5-7 cm from the lid. We unscrew the lid and make an aperture in it. From the remaining part of the container, cut out the core of the required shape. On one side we make a hole for the wire, and
fasten it to the lid. Then we screw it all back. If necessary, the product can be coated with paint or wrapped with threads.
A bit more complicated
In this case, the toolbox is no different, you can use a similar workpiece. The difference will only be in shape. You can make a jagged edge, for example. It is better to mark everything in advance, and then cut it out. Also, the core with this design can be made different. Two pieces
thicker wire with a cross section of 5 - 7 mm
2 can be hung on the cap with the help of threads. The result is even a musical instrument that will make sounds. This distinguishes the bells from plastic bottles from other crafts of this class.
Beautiful but hard
The previous versions were based on the use of a cover. This is not always aesthetically pleasing, but I want maximum resemblance to the original. To do this, the lid is trimmed. On top, 3-4 cuts are made with a depth of 1.5-2 cm. Received
fragments are twisted together and fixed with tape. In the upper part there should be a hole for fixing the internal elements. This is the most difficult way to make bells from plastic bottles on your own. Its complexity lies in the special shape of the bell, which can not always be obtained the first time.
Conclusion
Absolutely different flowers from plastic bottles can be made according to this algorithm . Bells - this is only one of the possible options, which is simple and affordable. There are more complex crafts (for example, lilies or roses), but it is better to start with the bells.
