Animals from a plastic bottle are a great activity that will appeal to both a child and an adult. This material is devoted to the manufacture of such waste lion and porcupine. The creation of such crafts is not so difficult task and it is quite affordable even for a novice master. For this, a standard set of tools is enough, which every owner must have available.

Make a lion

Various animals from a plastic bottle can be made, but the lion crafts is the simplicity and ease of creation. When performing it, we need 3 plastic containers. Two of them should be 1 liter and one should be 1.5 liters. Liter cuts along the line of the end of the cylinder and the beginning of the cone. The resulting two upper parts will go to the paws. A large bottle is cut at a distance of 5-8 cm from the bottom. All blanks are covered with paint. While it dries, make a tail and mane. To do this, we need a set of floss. Immediately make the tail. In one of the liter containers in the bottom with the help of an awl we make a hole into which one of the ends of the strand is pushed. Tie a knot in size larger than a hole in the bottom of the bottle. On the other hand, practically at its end we do one more the same. Having left 1-2 cm from the knot, cut off the tail and fluff - the tail is ready.

Cut 2 rings of cardboard with an inner diameter equal to the outer section of a large bottle. In this case, the outer side of the rings should be 2 cm larger. A thread is drawn along the inner diameter and tied to a knot at the junction. Then macramé is wound tightly on cardboard rings so that each new coil fits snugly against the previous one. After passing the full perimeter, the rest is cut off. The outer perimeter also needs to be passed with scissors. The rings are removed, and the mane is put on the bottom of a large capacity closer to the trimmed edge. If necessary, it is additionally fixed with threads and glue.

After that, all the initial components are ready, from which such original animals are then made from a plastic bottle as lions. Parts of the "king of beasts" must be assembled into a single whole. The body with the tail (a blank from a liter container) and the head with a mane (made of a large capacity) are connected together. The latter is not fully worn, and it should be turned upwards by 30 degrees (this will be the lion's face). The parts are fastened together with adhesive tape. From the bottom, the previously trimmed cones are joined upside down and fixed in a similar way. Further, the whole craft is executed using a set of markers or felt-tip pens. Everything - the lion is ready. Similarly, other animals can be made from a plastic bottle.

DIY porcupine

To create such a craft, you need two plastic containers. One of them is cut into thin strips that will imitate the needles. Then the strips must undergo heat treatment (for example, with the help of matches or a lighter) and get due to this a special shape. The second bottle will be the torso. It is painted in the desired color. After the applied layer of paint has dried, we using an awl and
a large needle with thread, "sew" the needle to the body. On each such bundle of strips there will be two spines, which from the side of the body will be attached with a thread. At the final stage, such animals from plastic bottles are drawn using all the same markers or felt-tip pens. In an extreme case, you can make an application and stick it. After the completed manipulations, the craft is ready.
