Bright and cheerful sunflowers: crafts "Flowers" from plastic bottles
One of the most charming decorative plastic ornaments are sunflowers. To make them you need yellow bottles for drinks (1.5 or 2 liters) or ordinary transparent containers and yellow acrylic paint. Also required are wire, awl and black paint. Progress: first you need to cut flower petals from plastic containers. For convenience, you can make a pattern of paper, apply it to plastic and draw contours. Thus, all the petals will be the same beautiful shape. If you use a transparent bottle, after cutting the blanks you will need to put yellow paint on them. After making a sufficient number of petals (there can be 10, 20 or more - depending on what "splendor" you want to get a flower for) you need to make awl small holes at their base. Next, a wire is inserted and fixed into the holes, through which all the workpieces are connected into a single structure. To make the middle of the flower, you can use the curly bottom of the bottle, pre-painted with black acrylic paint.
After bonding the petals and the bottom, it will be necessary to make a stem from the wire (which can be decorated with thick paper or cloth), cut leaves from green plastic and connect all parts of the plant. Just a few more sunflowers are made out, and that's it - a
gorgeous bouquet of cheerful flowers is ready. Now you know
how to make a flower from plastic bottles and wire. Tip: if you wish, you can decorate the middle of the flower with
sunflower seeds or black beads by gluing them with a hot gun.
We make flowers from plastic bottles and beads for your garden
We bring to your attention another way of making decorative ornaments from plastic. To complete this work, you will need materials such as:
- plastic bottles (transparent 7 pcs., green 6 pcs.);
- scissors;
- PVA glue and "Moment";
- awl;
- acrylic paints (yellow, red);
- wire;
- green electrical tape;
- beads (blue and green) and beads;
- thick thread;
- candle with a diameter of 2 cm.
How to make a flower out of plastic bottles: first, we will make 42 stamens and 7 pistils from green beads and beads. For stamens, a wire of 25 cm length is used, on which a bead is strung. The wire is bent in half, and blue beads (19 pcs.) Are strung on its two ends. For the pestle, a wire of 25 cm length is taken, and a bead is strung on it. Then the wire is bent in half, and green beads (22 pcs.) Are strung on its two ends. To make one flower, you need 6 stamens and 1 pestle. In the same way, we make another 41 stamens and 6 pistils. After completing this work, we take the pestle and attach it to the wire about 20 cm long, fixing it with thread and PVA glue, and then attach 6 stamens to it, evenly distributing them around it. Now we begin to make the petals. We cut off the upper part of the transparent bottles, which we will use to form the calyx of the plant. We cut each blank into 6 equal strips in the direction of the neck. We round each strip, cutting off the extra corners so that you get six beautiful petals. We process the petals above the candle flame, giving them a natural, rounded shape. Now you know how to make a flower out of plastic bottles, and you see that there is nothing complicated about it! To complete the work, it remains only to attach the pestle with stamens inside the bud and color the flower petals in yellow and red. If you wish, you can make a stem of wire and decorate it with green tape, and the leaves from green plastic bottles.
