To diversify life, to make some sense into it, creativity helps us. Maybe you do not have excellent vocal skills to go on stage and give everyone your hit, there is no talent of an artist, dancer or comedian, but art does not end in these professions. Work on crafts from all kinds of materials is what brings calm, brings color to everyday life, gives inspiration.
One of the popular materials for creativity is ordinary plastic, or rather plastic bottles. This substance pollutes our planet, but it can give a second life. For example, turn a product into a strange flower, a fabulous animal, a lamp, jewelry. Yes, anything! Butterflies from plastic bottles look very gentle. They can decorate a summer cottage, a refrigerator, a flower pot, curtains.
How to make butterflies from plastic bottles? What is needed for this? Such questions are of interest to those who first looked at garbage as a material for creativity. In fact, plastic, accessible to everyone, is a light and pliable material. In addition to a bottle of water or beer, you should also stock up with scissors, a permanent felt-tip pen, a template, multi-colored nail polishes, sparkles, glue, stapler, wire, beads.
How to make butterflies from plastic bottles? First you need to choose a template: print a picture on a printer or copy it from a children's book. The drawing should be transferred to a plastic blank (cut the bottom and neck off the bottle) with a waterproof felt-tip pen. Also, the outline of a butterfly can be drawn directly on the plastic and without a template, it’s convenient for anyone. Next, cut out what is depicted using scissors. You can immediately cut out the antennae, and then you can make them out of wire. Then we decorate the workpiece: with a marker we draw on the outside the patterns, which are then varnished.
How to make butterflies from plastic bottles? We fix the workpiece with adhesive tape on a flat surface (to make it more convenient to work with it) with the inner side up. Then we give free rein to our imagination and decorate the wings of a butterfly as the soul desires. Colored nail polishes can be replaced with stained glass paints, a special contour for glass. Next, in the middle of the product, we attach a wire with beads that will play the role of the body, head and antennae of a butterfly. You can also do without wire: just bend the workpiece in half and fasten with a stapler. Craft "Butterfly" from a plastic bottle is ready!
To make it even brighter, you can take transparent bottles for work, and use rhinestones and stones for decoration. You can make a multi-layer butterfly from plastic in different colors. It can also be equipped with a magnet and “placed” on the refrigerator - white color perfectly sets off the wings. Such a butterfly can be planted on a flower in a vase, on a tulle, in a pot.
How to make butterflies from plastic bottles? Yes, very simple, if you show a little patience and imagination. The process itself does not take much time, but brings incomparable pleasure and a feeling of absolute happiness with nothing. And even children can do such a job!
