A flower made of plastic is a simple craft that can be made with your own hands without any problems. Most men do not think about it. But with the help of plastic you can make a wonderful craft, which for many years will become a symbol of your feelings.
The most commonly used material for their creation is plastic from bottles. Recently, there are also crafts made of
polymer clay with the addition of plastic. But so far they have not received wide distribution, and the creation of products in this case is much more complicated. Therefore, a flower made of plastic is usually made in the first way.
Instruments
In the process, we need a set of the following materials:
- marker;
- scissors;
- pattern;
- ruler;
- knife;
- lighter or matches;
- awl.
In addition, glue, adhesive tape, paper (preferably with a bright and extraordinary pattern), wire, paint, heat shrink and plastic bottles of various sizes are useful. All this is better to pre-prepare, so that later in the process of creating such crafts as a flower made of plastic, do not look for the right material or tool urgently.
Chamomile
The easiest way to make a daisy out of such containers. It is with her that we begin our acquaintance with this craft. We take a container of any size. We make markings on its surface with a marker and cut it out either with a knife or with scissors. In the center of the workpiece, we make a hole with an awl. Next, you need to arrange the stem. To do this, take a piece of wire of the required length. For greater credibility, you can put heat shrink on it and heat it with matches or a lighter. An alternative is to wrap with electrical tape or cover with paint. The first option is simpler, so it is better to opt for it.
From the rest we make leaves. From one of the edges we make a puncture using an awl. We wind the wire into this hole and fasten it to the stem. For greater credibility, cover it with green paint. We put a camomile on one of the ends of the stem. We fix with glue and decorate. You can use bright paper or a set of colors. After decorating, the camomile is ready. Any crafts can be made of plastic. For flowers, this statement is more than true.
rose flower
A little more difficult to make a rose from such a material. The technology for creating the stem and its leaves is similar, we will not concentrate on it. But the rose bud is made as follows. Cut strips from the cylindrical part of the container. Their width should gradually increase. The smallest of them should be 2.5-3 cm. Further, it is recommended to increase them in increments of 0.5 cm. Then the edge of the widest strip is treated with a lighter or matches. At the same time, with the help of pliers, he bends in one direction.
Then this workpiece is twisted in a spiral and fastened with wire or tape. At the next stage, we take the strip that is a little narrower, and in the same way we process its edge and twist around the first part of the bud, which was made earlier. We do this operation until all the strips are over. At the final stage, we connect the bud and the stem. To do this, cut a small cone from the rest of the bottle. We wrap it around the bud and fix it with tape. We cut its other end and put it on the stem. We fix it with the same adhesive tape. At the final stage we decorate it. A flower made of plastic is ready.
