Pig from plastic bottles - do it yourself easily and simply!

With the onset of the hot summer, everyone is actively starting to buy water in plastic bottles, which by the end of the season accumulate a lot. But it is better not to throw them away so as not to pollute the environment. Look carefully at what should be disposed of. Indeed, from this material wonderful crafts are obtained, and they can be used not only in the country, but also in the playground. It is enough to show your imagination and get down to business.

Surely you have already made a variety of crafts from plastic bottles with your own hands. Photos of such products can be seen in thematic magazines. But today we will consider the option of using 5-6 liter round plastic containers. The resulting figures can serve not only as decoration, but also as a feeder for birds and animals. You can also make a fun piggy bank for kids, etc.

Recently, a pig from plastic bottles has become a very popular craft that is used as a flower bed. It can be seen in many places. To make such a flowerbed is very easy, you will need only simple improvised materials and tools, such as:

• plastic bottle (with a capacity of 5-6 l) - 1 pc.;
• a bottle of plastic (1-2 l) - 1 pc.;
• polymer glue ;
• multi-colored paint in spray cans;
• knife, scissors.

Pig from plastic bottles with their own hands is done in several stages:

1. Take a large bottle and, stepping back from the neck approximately 20 cm, cut a rectangular hole in one of the sides (20x30 cm). This will be the top of the flowerbed.
2. Cut a pair of ears of any shape from small bottles. You can pre-make a model from a dense base, and then transfer it to plastic.
3. At the base of a large bottle, we make two cuts into which you need to insert the blanks of the ears. For greater strength, you can fix them with glue.
4. A pig made of plastic bottles, made with his own hands , turns out to be very funny, but it seems that he lacks a tail. Cut it from the rest of the plastic and twist it in a spiral. Attach the tail in the same way as the ears, only to the bottom of the bottle.
5. The final stage will be painting. In this case, our piglet should turn pink.
6. As soon as the painted workpiece dries, with the help of a brush and black paint you need to draw eyes, a mouth and a nose.
   

So we got a pig from plastic bottles. It is very simple to make it with your own hands. In order for it to become a flowerbed, the container must be filled with soil, planting flower or green seeds in it. If there is no one to care for the plants, in this case you can make a slightly different piglet. It is made almost the same as the previous one, but without a central hole. Now we get a decorative animal.

Pig from plastic bottles with their own hands can be made large or small. It will depend on which packaging you use. And you can even make a whole family of mother-pig and her cubs. The main thing is to choose the right location for them on a summer cottage or playground.
