Creativity from nothing: daisies from plastic bottles
It’s not so difficult to make a bouquet of wild flowers with your own hands, as it might seem at first glance. You only need to show a desire, find some free time, scissors, a few white yogurt bottles, one yellow and one green plastic bottle.
So, where to start making chamomiles from plastic bottles with your own hands? Let's start with the petals. Take a bottle and cut out the maximum number of circles (10 cm in diameter) from it. For one daisy, we need two such blanks, so you need to cut twice as many circles than it is supposed to make daisies. Now, on each workpiece, make sixteen notches in a circle, round each of them, and pierce a hole in the middle (you can use an awl). Now give the chamomile petals a natural shape. For this we need a burning candle. Carefully draw each blank over the candle flame, so the petals are slightly bent and become like real ones. But try to be extremely careful, otherwise you run the risk of burning the blanks and ruining the product.
Now let's start making the middle of the flower. For her, you need to take any yellow plastic bottle. Cut three circles out of it (2 cm in diameter), along the edge on each, make a fringe with scissors, lightly process with a candle.
Our chamomile from a plastic bottle is almost ready - it remains to make leaves, stem and sepals.
The leaves of the flower can be cut from a green bottle, and with the help of a candle give them the desired shape.
To make the stem, we need one long wooden skewer and a half-centimeter thick strip cut from a green plastic bottle (try to make it as long as possible, cut in a spiral). Heat the edge of the prepared strip above the candle and attach it to the skewer, then gradually wrap the entire stem in this way.
For sepals, it is necessary to cut out several (two to three) five-pointed stars. Using the flame of a candle, carefully give them the desired shape.
Product assembly
The best part is left and our daisies will be made of plastic bottles with their own hands! So, the final stage is the assembly. Take the prepared stalk and put a sepal on it. To prevent the part from falling down, make an emphasis out of a piece of plastic (warm it over a candle and attach it). Next, put on the sepals basics with petals and yellow centers. Attach the leaves to the stem again with the help of temperature influence - heat the edge of the leaf over the candle and just glue it. So the camomiles are made of plastic bottles - with your own hands, which is the most pleasant! Gather them in a bouquet and put them in a prominent place - let your and your household delight.
By the way, you can create incredible things, a wide variety of crafts from plastic bottles. Daisies are also "flowers"!
