Decorative ornaments and summer cottages give the garden plot individuality and unique charm. I think it’s difficult to disagree with the fact that all the possible sculptures made by one’s hands make the cottage lively and intriguing. It's nice when funny snails peek out from the garden with greens, pink mischievous pigs lurk in the bushes, a straw man sits on the fence, and the birds revolve around the original feeders. With the advent of darkness along the paths, self-made flashlights light up by themselves.
In order to make country crafts, it is not necessary to be an ace, it is enough to apply a little imagination, creativity and perseverance. In addition, their whole charm lies in the fact that there is no need to buy any special materials. Look around you! Large driftwood, old stumps, tires, plastic bottles, iron tanks, cracked plastic pots - all this is a wonderful material from which you can make a lot of interesting things.
Particularly popular among gardeners and gardeners figures of animals and good fairy tale characters. Surely every owner will find a simple piece of plywood that has been lying around in the attic for more than a year. But you can make exclusive summer crafts from it. For example, using a jigsaw to cut out figures of storks, geese, cats, dogs and funny farmers. After which they will remain brightly decorated with oil paints and everything, the original decor is ready. Choose a suitable place and install it.
If there are stumps in the garden that cannot be uprooted and they spoil the whole aesthetic appearance of your site, do not be discouraged. With the help of an old basin and small jars of paint, you can turn it into a fun, attractive fungus. To do this, paint the basin with red paint and put it on a stump, also previously painted white. To complete the picture, you can make
a ladybug from a plastic bottle and plant it on top of a mushroom hat. Country crafts made of plastic bottles deserve special attention and careful study.
From this mundane and ubiquitous material you can create real masterpieces, but this is not the main thing. Things made of plastic bottles can not only decorate the interior of the garden, but also bring tangible benefits. Among summer residents, home-made garden flowerpots in the form of piglets made of five-liter bottles are respected. These country crafts are used as large decorative pots in which you can plant bright flowers or medicinal herbs.
However, this is not all the possibilities of plastic containers. They make a funny garden scarecrow, decorative daffodils, daisies, owls, bees, butterflies, as well as comfortable flower vases. Recently, in the gardens began to appear arbors and verandas built from bottles. Very popular tropical plastic palm. To make it, you will need a long bar, as well as 2-liter bottles of green and brown. Cut off the bottoms of each bottle. Brown stringed neck down on the bar, and from green cut leaves. To do this, we divide the bottle in half and, without reaching the neck, we form with strong scissors a semblance of a leaf on one and the other side. We pass the resulting top of the palm into a hole in the side of the last brown bottle. There should be four such green double leaflets. Now you can place a palm tree at your dacha and make crafts on a summer cottage with a special southern flavor, complementing the composition.
