Do-it-yourself homemade plastic bottles for summer cottages and gardens. These are useful homemade crafts you can make from plastic bottles Do-it-yourself bottle crafts

In our time, there is no shortage of goods for everyday and long-term consumption. Free sale has everything you need to ensure normal material living conditions - from personal hygiene items to dishwashers. But it would be wrong to assume that under these conditions, to make with your own hands useful homemade from improvised and even junk materials - not a very serious task.

From plastic bottles - useful homemade products

Firstly, there are situations when there is no time (and sometimes money) to go to the store for an urgently needed thing, and this thing is not difficult to make yourself from the available material. Secondly, and more importantly, making handicrafts is a good occasion and an excellent means of introducing children to handicrafts. Making useful homemade products together with adults, they early age are trained to work.

It has long been fashionable to make all kinds of crafts from plastic bottles. They are easy to process, and products from them have a good presentation. Here, using three examples, we will tell you how such home-made products from plastic bottles are created.

plastic whisk

Materials and tools:
- 6 two-liter plastic bottles;

- a piece of wire;
- small nails;
- scissors;
- stationery knife;
- awl;
- a hammer.

Sequence of operations

Remove labels from all bottles. Having chosen any bottle, cut off the bottom with a clerical knife.

With scissors, we cut this bottle into strips of 5 mm wide, not reaching 10 centimeters to the neck.

Now cut off the neck. We perform these operations (cutting off the bottom, cutting strips, cutting off the neck) with four more bottles, but we do not cut off the neck of the last one.

On this last one (with a neck), we put on the remaining four prepared bottles one by one. We get the working part of the broom.

We cut off the upper part of the sixth bottle and put it on this working part of the broom.

We pierce two through holes in our structure with an awl, pass the wire into them and tighten it.

We insert the stalk into the neck and nail a broom to it with nails.

The plastic whisk is ready.

Plastic vase for flowers

Materials and tools:
- plastic bottle;
- scissors.

Sequence of operations

We cut off its upper part from the bottle (it is not needed).

We measure the future neck of the vase and cut it into thin strips.

We bend all the strips outward.

We turn the bottle over, put it on a flat hard surface and press it - in order to ensure smooth edges of the neck of the future vase.

We take any strip and bend it over three adjacent strips in a row.

With the next strip (along the way) we perform the same operation. And so we go through the whole circle to the last strip inclusive.

The plastic vase for flowers is ready. If you do not peer too closely, it seems that this is a vase made of crystal or thin glass.

Such a vase would be quite appropriate, for example, in summer house at the recreation center.

plastic beads

Materials and tools:
- several plastic bottles;
- scissors;
- stationery knife;
- metal knitting needles;
- a thermal tool (you can use a thermal gun);
– heat-resistant surface;
- paints for plastic or acrylic paints(can be painted with a cosmetic sponge);
- drill;
- drill 1/16;
- decorative buttons;
- threads for embroidery;
– connecting rings (open);
- pliers.

Sequence of operations

From the lower parts of the bottles we cut out flowers with petals, as in the photo (top row).

We put the flowers on a heat-resistant surface and, pressing their middles with a knitting needle to the surface, we process the petals with a thermal tool to give them the desired shape.

Under the influence of heat, the edges of the petals curl up. After reaching the desired shape, we remove the heat.

We paint on both sides of all the flowers. At the same time, we put more paint on the bottom side - it will be more matte. Let the paint dry.

Cut out oval-shaped leaves from the walls of the bottles. We paint them in the same way as flowers. We drill holes at the ends of each leaf (for connection in a necklace).

We make white daisies from bottle caps: with a clerical knife, cut the edges of the caps into strips of the same width.

Using a heat tool and a knitting needle, we give the chamomile petals the desired shape.

Trend rational use household waste has recently become more and more popular, especially for plastic containers. From plastic bottles, you can do with your own hands almost the entire country interior and more. One of the main advantages of this material is long term service, besides it is very elastic. Do not forget that plastic bottles - available material, which is always available for every owner or hostess.

Having shown ingenuity and a little imagination, you can not only make the necessary and useful things that will decorate the site, but also free it from unnecessary rubbish without harming nature. After all, it is known that plastic decomposes for a very long time, and when burned, it releases hazardous substances. Therefore, it is better not to throw bottles into a fire or take them to a landfill - they can still serve as a variety of crafts, some of which are presented in the article.

Cheap and cheerful - we make flower beds from bottles

Plastic container is ideal for flower beds, as it has a great advantage over wood and even metal. Wooden fencing on flower beds or flower beds cracks or rots over time under the influence of moisture and the sun. Even metal curbs are susceptible to corrosion and require periodic maintenance, such as regular painting.

But what about plastic? It does not lose its shape and does not collapse for a long time. This means that such a flower bed will last more than one season and even more than one year, moreover, it does not require any maintenance at all. Even if a “breakage” occurs, the desired “element” can always be found in the pantry and easily replaced without resorting to long tedious shopping trips in order to find a suitable fragment.

So, what can you do with plastic bottles with your own hands?

bottle borders

If you need to protect the flower garden, plastic containers of different sizes will do just fine. Such a border will not only limit space and prevent growth perennials, but will still retain moisture and prevent weeds from appearing.

The shape and size of the flower bed depend only on the imagination of the summer resident: it can be either equilateral or in the form of some animal or plant. Also, bottles can be divided into segments of the flower bed itself.

Even a child can build a bottle border (with the help of adults, of course):

First of all, on the site, you should draw with a sharp object or pour the contours of the flower bed with sand.
Release the bottles from the labels, wash them, pour sand into them and tighten the cap. If this is not available, ordinary earth or water can be used. This is necessary for stability, since empty containers will quickly fall out of the fence.
Dig a groove along the outlined contour so that the bottle can be deepened by about 1/3 into it.
Place the filled bottles in the groove with the neck down, as close as possible to each other, and cover with earth.

For a visual effect, you can use bottles of different color plastic (green, white, brown).

Some summer residents do without digging in bottles. For example, bottles without a bottom are simply inserted into each other, forming a circle. The finished structure can be “put on” on a shrub or taken in a ring trunk circle tree. To fix the curb, it must be firmly pressed to the ground with arcs.

Multi-tiered flower bed

If you really want to have a flower garden, and there is a catastrophic lack of space, you can make a multi-tiered flower bed out of plastic bottles with your own hands. The principle is the same as for the construction of the curb, only after laying the first tier, it is necessary to fill it with nutrient soil, and only then lay out the next floor.

When planting plants for the lower tier, it is better to choose moisture-loving specimens, since water will flow down when watering.

Mini flower beds

Beautiful and useful crafts for giving can be made from 5-liter plastic bottles. They will serve as miniature and cute flower beds, for example, in the shape of everyone's favorite piglets.

Group compositions in the form of trains with flowers look no less impressive.

And if instead of flowers sow lawn grass, a large bottle turns into a cute hedgehog with green spines. It remains only to attach the eyes and nose.

Those who are not afraid of small rodents will like cute mice from small (liter) bottles. They are good for planting petunias.

Flower pots and flowerpots

With a little imagination, plastic bottles can be easily transformed into small decorative pots for flowers or spicy greens. You can make them even or cut them into a marker in the shape of a muzzle. Such flowerpots will look great not only in the garden gazebo, but also in the house on the windowsill.

But if you put a fabric cover on a cropped bottle and attach ropes, you get elegant planters for summer veranda.

The easiest way to make hanging pots is to cut out fragments of the walls on both sides of the bottle, and fasten a string for hanging under the neck. In such flowerpots, compact undersized plants can be planted.

Making a beautiful garden path

Tracks made of plastic containers are especially popular with summer residents. The strength of such a path depends on the installation method and what part of the plastic container serves as building material:

Paths made of plastic bottles become very slippery in winter.

Fun playground - decorate a place for children's games

Caring parents always strive to give their children a place to play in the country, where children can pass the time while adults are busy in the garden. Of course, it should be not only safe, but also colorful to please the kids. With the help of plastic bottles, it is easy to decorate the playground by making a variety of plants and animals. Give them brightness will help regular paint.

In the shade under a palm tree

What is a playground without a sandbox? And where there is sand, a palm tree must “grow”. For a Tropican, you will need green and brown bottles for the trunk and leaves, respectively.

Before proceeding with the assembly, you need to take care of a solid base. For example, attach to concrete screed a metal pin, and it should be quite long so that the tree turns out high, and the children can walk freely under it.

When the base is fixed, you can start "growing" palm trees:

cut off half of the bottle (the top with the neck is not needed) and form a jagged edge;
make a hole in the center of the bottom, string the blanks onto the base pin, while bending the teeth to the side for a more natural look;
cut off the bottom of the green bottle and make straight cuts along the entire contour to the place where the wall goes into the neck (if desired, the branches can be made curly - cut into 4 parts and place cloves on each);
string fragments of the branch on the base;
firmly attach the finished branches to the top of the stem (by welding or construction harnesses).

If after assembling the palm tree there are still many green bottles left, you can make a small (or large) Christmas tree from them. Remove the bottom from the bottle and cut it into long narrow strips right up to the very neck. Trim the edges of the strips to look like thorns. Thread the leaves onto the base.

Such a Christmas tree will look great on the site in winter, especially under snow, and will also help out on New Year's Eve those who, in a hurry, did not have time to buy a living tree.

Guests from a fairy tale - funny animals

And of course, there must be toys on the playground. Often children take their old pets outside. With the help of plastic bottles, you can easily diversify the "zoo", creating real masterpieces - from the fabulous Frog Princess and the Golden Fish to modern cartoon characters.

Take at least a handsome cat, painted in black and white paint. And you can use brown beer bottles, and you get a brown cat, also beautiful.

From the two bottoms of the bottle, form a head (connect them), while the bends on the bottoms will really look like a real head. On one of them, draw eyes, eyebrows and mustaches with white paint, and a neat tongue with red paint. From above, insert cut out small ears. For the body, string the same short cut bottoms onto the base, close the body last. Melt the edges of the bottoms. Walk along the melted contour of the ears and fragments of the body with white paint, and on the front bottom make a white speck on the breast.

Glue the head and legs - the upper parts from bottles with an elongated neck will come in handy for them. Cut them off to the point where the bottle expands, cut the edges with sharp teeth and build legs from 4-5 parts, putting them on the base wire. Screw the corks onto the upper necks, glue the paws to the body with them. For the tail, take a long wire and string the narrowest parts of the neck onto it, but without plugs. To make the tail fluffy, cut the edges into thin strips.

Beautiful animals from plastic bottles are also obtained from large 5-liter containers. With the right combination of bottles of different sizes and with the help of bright coloring, you can place a zebra, a horse, a cow, a donkey and even a giraffe on the site.

Flowers for my daughter

In the sandbox, children not only sculpt Easter cakes. Little girls are very fond of flowers and often pick dandelions on the lawn (or roses in their mother's flower bed) to plant in their sand garden. But you can make a whole greenhouse of flowers out of bottles, while the girls will be happy to take part in the manufacture of the simplest options. Daisies, cornflowers and tulips will decorate the sandbox, especially since young flower growers will be able to repeatedly "transplant" them from garden to garden without harm to plants and mother's nerves.

For flowers you will need:

stem wire;
flat parts of bottles for cutting leaves from them;
necks or bottoms for the most inflorescences;
dye.

More complex options can be done by adults. Plastic roses or poppies will decorate not only the playground, but also flower beds.

plastic design for garden

Crafts for giving from plastic bottles have an extensive scope. So, if small animals and birds look appropriate in flowerbeds and playgrounds, then larger-scale animals can be placed in the garden, among trees and shrubs. They will give the garden a unique look and enliven it.

Amazing Garden Sculptures

Representatives of large birds made of plastic look almost alive. With the help of multi-colored paints, you can achieve a stunning realistic effect. To make them, you just need to master the technique of cutting feathers from the sides of bottles and prepare a frame on which they will be fixed.

Very impressive in the garden will look:

In the garden, you can place sculptures not only of birds, but also animals of a large enough size so that they do not get lost against the backdrop of tall trees.

Among the greenery, a bright spot will be a white sheep, which is quite easy to make if there are bottles of 2 liters and several 1.5 liters lying around in the pantry:

Cut off the necks of two 2 liter bottles and put them on top of each other - this will be an elongated head. From the third bottle, cut out long ears, roll them up a little with a tube and attach to the head in the appropriate places with wire (or glue). You can draw eyes or glue two plugs.
For the body, insert the whole neck into the bottle cut off from the top. Make 3 more such blanks and attach them to the first on the sides and top, thus giving the lamb the desired “waist” volume.
A whole two-liter bottle will serve as a neck, which should be fixed on the body at an angle of about 120 degrees so that the cork is on top.
To the neck (on the cork) set the head.
For legs, cut off the top of a two-liter bottle and insert a whole bottle of a smaller volume (1.5 liters) into it. Make three more such blanks and attach the legs to the body with the wide part up.
From the cut bottoms of two-liter bottles, make a fleece, fastening them together, and put on the body. Under the belly, tie the edges of the fur coat.
Paint the sheep with white paint and draw black eyes.

Bird care

Plastic bottles can be used not only for decorative purposes, but also for the benefit of the garden. After all, it is always inhabited by the summer resident's little helpers - a variety of birds that collect pests from trees. In warm summer time they have something to eat, but in winter it becomes more difficult to get food. That's when the feeders hung around the garden come in handy. And if you involve children in the process, you get a double benefit: for children - an interesting activity and pleasure, and for birds - a cozy house with grains.

The simplest feeders can be made from large 5 liter plastic bottles by simply cutting large arch-shaped holes on both sides.

So that the birds do not injure their paws on the sharp edges of the bottle, they must first be melted or pasted over with electrical tape.

For those who rarely visit their summer cottage in winter, a feeder that fills automatically is useful.

You can make it from a bottle and two wooden spoons:

make two holes in the bottle opposite each other, while the second should be slightly lower;
unfold the bottle and repeat the procedure on the reverse side;
insert spoons into the holes crosswise.

After the bottle is filled with food, it will be poured through the holes into the spoons as they are empty.

A cozy place to relax from improvised means

Not only birds, but also the owners themselves should have their own secluded corner among the greenery, where on warm summer evenings you can enjoy a cup of tea, inhaling the aromas of nature. Many people prefer to put wooden arbors in the garden. They are very beautiful, you can’t argue with that, but they require certain financial investments. But from plastic it is cheap and cheerful to make not only a recreation area, but also to completely equip it.

Alcove? Easily!

The gazebo is one of the largest crafts for giving from plastic bottles. But a plastic gazebo has two big advantages:

it is easy to assemble;
will last more than one year without damage to the material.

Perhaps the only drawback of the building is the presence of a large number of bottles that need to be stored somewhere during the collection process.

What the gazebo will look like depends only on the desire of the owner, and, accordingly, on the availability of “building materials”:

Practical curtains in the gazebo

In summer pavilions there is a lot of fresh air, but, unfortunately, also dust. Ordinary tulle requires frequent washing, while a plastic curtain does not collect so much dust, and you can “wash” it without even removing it - just pour it over with water from a hose (of course, if such a curtain does not hang in the house).

For dreamy and romantic hostesses, delicate curtains made from the bottoms of plastic bottles, strung on a base, are suitable.

Energetic people who love bright colors are more suitable for cork curtains, assembled according to the same principle.

garden furniture

A table, ottoman, armchair and even a sofa in the gazebo can also be made from plastic bottles. Old furniture from the house is also quite suitable for relaxing on fresh air, but she, like the curtains, will eventually become a collection of dust. In addition, it is quite difficult to take a wooden sofa outside, because such furniture is rather bulky and heavy. But rearranging a plastic chair is not difficult.

It is not difficult to assemble furniture - you just need to put the bottles tightly and connect them with adhesive tape, giving the desired shape. For ottomans, knit or sew a cape - from the outside, no one will guess what they are actually made of.

Leatherette covers are more suitable for a sofa.

Unbreakable garden chandeliers

If you plan to have an evening tea party, it is necessary to carry out lighting in the gazebo. To ennoble the light bulb, you can cut the bottle into two parts and make a simple ceiling lamp from the upper half and paint it or paste over it with colored thread.

In plastic chandeliers, it is better to use economical light bulbs - they do not heat up so much and will not melt the material.

In more complex versions, chandeliers are assembled from fragments of leaves or flowers cut from multi-colored bottles.

Garden supplies for gardening

In order for the summer cottage to look beautiful and tidy, it is necessary to take care of it all the time - weed weeds, collect fallen leaves and small debris. This will require tools. Of course, it will not work to make a chopper or a rake out of plastic, but simpler specimens are quite possible.

Craftsmen have long known how to use plastic bottles for their own benefit and savings for family budget. After all, if the scoop suddenly breaks, you no longer have to run to the store for a new one. From household waste that is in every home, a lot of useful things are obtained without extra costs:

garden care

From plastic bottles you can make useful things not only for the garden, but also for the garden. It can be both small crafts in the form of repellers, and larger structures such as greenhouses.

Greenhouses for seedlings

Most summer residents grow seedlings horticultural crops on one's own. Some do it in apartment conditions, but better seedlings are obtained from greenhouses - there is enough heat and light.

You can’t even talk about the cost, but as for durability, plastic bottle greenhouses will certainly last longer than film shelters or glass structures.

To increase the service life of plastic bottle greenhouses, it is advisable to put them on the foundation, and use a metal profile for the frame.

The simplest version of the greenhouse involves the construction of walls from whole bottles that are put on top of each other.

It will take a little longer to tinker with the greenhouse of the plates, but it will turn out to be warmer. In this case, even parts must be cut out of the bottles and fastened (sewn) together in the form of a canvas. From the finished canvases, mount a greenhouse.

Watering "systems"

For gardeners, watering is no less a pressing issue than the presence of a greenhouse. Instead of ready-made watering systems in the garden, you can use plastic bottles. They must either be suspended above the bush, having previously made holes in the lower part, or dug into the ground.

In addition, the bottle makes a good sprinkler - you just need to make small holes in it and connect it to a watering hose.

Getting rid of pests

A repeller from a plastic bottle will help drive the worst enemy of the summer resident - the mole - from the site. He not only plows the beds, digging his tunnels, but also damages in the course of action root system plants, depriving gardeners of the future harvest.

If you cut the side walls in the bottle, bend them and put the container on a steel bar, with gusts of wind the bottle will spin and make noise. The sound through the rod will go into the ground and deprive the mole of the desire to manage in this noisy place.

The list of what you can make from a plastic bottle with your own hands is quite long. These are just a few crafts that make life easier for summer residents. Agree - it is better to get the maximum benefit from bottles than to pollute environment. Take care of nature and work with pleasure!

Winter and summer one color

Probably the easiest plastic bottle crafts to make are mushrooms. Do-it-yourself mushrooms are made extremely simply and very similar to real ones. The mushroom cap is the bottom of the bottle, its stem is the top of the container. You can color them as you wish. It is most convenient to fasten both parts with a self-tapping screw.

To get the characteristic protrusions on the leg of the fly agaric, you can use two bottle necks to make it. Grass can be created from the side of a green container.

In this lake, the water never freezes, and swans always live

The blue lake in the yard is most realistic to arrange from plastic bottles. Its surface, even in the absence of wind, is covered with characteristic ripples. Making such a pond is easy. You need to paint at least 100 bottles of blue paint from the inside, and then bury them in the ground with their neck down. Flowers and swans made from the same material according to the recommendations of our articles are suitable for decorating a pond.

Funny figurines of animals and people for the garden from plastic containers

We are all happy to decorate our garden with crafts of animals, gnomes and people. A considerable number of various figures for the site have already been invented. Interestingly, even when copied, each creative invention has features brought by the author. Nothing prevents you from leaving your “own mark on history” by inventing an original gnome.

All sorts of different animals in the yard and garden

Here are several options for turtle designs. All of them are made from the bottom of a bottle, which resembles the shell of an amphibian. Using paint and other decorative elements, you can create a turtle with a "own face".

The caterpillar in the garden and the garden is quite appropriate. In this performance, she will not turn into a butterfly, but she will not be able to harm either. You can make an insect from the bottoms, lids and bodies of plastic containers. The easiest way is to sequentially collect the top parts of bright green bottles. Inside there may be a wire that is bent on both sides of the figure.

Funny gnomes for the courtyard can be made from a variety of containers. Perhaps, it is impossible to do without the use of paints. A special place in the performance of the gnomes is occupied by decor: let your imagination run wild and try to use everything that comes up. This is exactly the case when you can compose something unusual and your own.

The land with the help of horses in the country has not been plowed for a long time, but the presence of their figures is appropriate and desirable. The body of the horse is most often made from five-liter eggplants, and the legs, neck and muzzle are made from smaller containers. The horse is very similar to a donkey, so when making it, you can use the instructions for assembling a donkey, which follows.

Pigs in the country from plastic bottles - a classic of the genre. Of course, a 5-liter container is best for making a well-fed pig. It is often used as a planter. The techniques for assembling a pig are exactly the same as for a donkey. A description of this follows.

A bright spot on the site will be a fox or bear figurine covered with orange paint. We have already understood that large five-liter bottles are well suited for both the already mentioned and other animal crafts. Here again, fantasy and scenery are required. Assembly - all the same donkey making guide that follows.

It can be said with absolute certainty that it will be possible to build any animal from plastic bottles. Pick your favorite and get creative!

Here are a few more examples of the use of plastic containers for the manufacture of animals. Frogs, hares, bears and sheep - everything is like in a real forest.

Interesting examples of creations from containers for household purposes

As you can see, quite monumental structures can be built from plastic bottles. However, many of us, having appreciated the scale of the work and the large number of bottles, are ready to say the words from the old joke: "I won't drink that much." It is up to you to decide which homemade products are good, and we offer a master class on making a prosaic broom from plastic bottles with your own hands.

Step by step guide:

Collecting crafts, we set the task of using fewer bottles and getting a panicle of sufficient rigidity. However, it was not wide enough. To solve this problem, the entire length of the bottle should be used for blanks.

In this case, containers will need twice as much. In this embodiment, to ensure sufficient rigidity of the broom, it will have to be tied with twine, as in the photo.

Together with the broom, we made a dustpan from a plastic container. To implement such an idea, it is better to use a thick plastic canister. We cut out the part in accordance with the image, put it on a wooden handle and get a scoop. The scoop does not dig the earth, but it is suitable for sand and cement and works in tandem with our broom!

It turns out that from plastic bottles you can compose charming slippers. How to make flowers, we have already told in a special article. The rest is clear.

Unfortunately, the slippers were needed urgently, and we resolved the issue much faster. Of course, it’s impossible to run in such ones, but we managed to get from the soul to the house quite safely.
We give a few more examples of the use of bottles in the household. Lightweight chair is assembled with adhesive tape. Laundry baskets are woven from ribbon obtained from bottle bodies. Garbage cans and a greenhouse are assembled on a wire frame.

We have tried throughout the article to talk about the most good examples use of plastic bottles in the household. The above descriptions allow you to master the techniques of working with containers. May you be able to realize these ideas and create your own "plastic masterpieces".

By the way, information note: plastic decomposes in water from 100 to 500 years (according to various sources and depending on the type of plastic).

We have few factories that process garbage, and people themselves sometimes find interesting uses for simple and seemingly completely unnecessary things. If you wish, you can create such beauty - the neighbors will envy! Do you want to decorate the garden without special costs? See if there are empty plastic bottles in your country house. Plastic bottles can be used to protect flower beds. The benefits here are obvious: flower beds and beds are not washed away by showers, they always look neat and pleasing to the eye. I think it looks great ... How to make such a flower bed? Beautiful neat flower beds and beds. Photo from ru.pinterest.com Of course, you will need a lot of bottles (preferably the same size). We pour sand into them, close them and begin to build a "palisade". Bottles will have to be dug a little into the ground to give them stability. After the flower bed is fenced, paint the resulting border in any color of the rainbow. In principle, you can do this in advance - as you wish. But it seems to me that it is more convenient to paint an already finished fence than each bottle individually. And dark plastic containers can be left as they are, it also looks pretty. The beauty is indescribable. Turn on your imagination, wake up your fantasy and create all kinds of flowers in your garden that will never fade or rot)).

Such a palm tree is not afraid of snow and frost To make it clearer how to make something out of bottles (for example, flowers), let's look at an example.

What may be needed:

plastic bottles of different colors;
scissors, awl, thick threads;
PVA glue and "Master";
acrylic paints;
candle;
wire;
beads, beads - for decoration.

With the rest, everything is more or less clear, but why a candle? Everything is simple. Cut off the necks of the bottles. We cut each neck not completely along, we make 6 petals. Give the petals a rounded shape. We light a candle and scorch each petal so that it melts a little. First, along the edges, so that they are beautiful and even, and then at the base of the petals, bending them at the same time, giving shape. Plastic when heated is well formed.

Semi-flower is made from plastic bottles! The stem is best made from thick wire. The stamens are made of thin wire, on which beads can be strung. It remains only to collect the whole thing, fastening with glue, if necessary, using an awl and wire. Decorate the finished flower. Do you know what beauty is?

Flowers from plastic bottles. Photo from ru.pinterest.com Palm trees, bluebells, butterflies and other things are also easy to do. For example, a palm tree trunk is easy to build from brown plastic bottles, cutting off each lower part and strung the bottles one on top of the other. Fantasy and everything will turn out! No one is made from bottles. The simplest, perhaps, are pigs. All you need is to cut and bend the “ears”, attach the tail and color it beautifully. However, there are crafts and very complicated ones. For example, animals from fairy tales. I will not describe how to do them in stages, otherwise the article will turn out to be of galactic proportions. I'd rather just show the video from the slides. From the photo, in principle, you can see how to do it, it's not difficult to figure it out.

How do you like these animals? I think they look great! And if you involve children in the process, they will be delighted!

Funny birds from plastic bottles. Photo from ru.pinterest.com The tools used are the same as those listed above. Paints - not necessarily acrylic. But they dry faster, which is a plus. And they hardly smell. True, they are also different. These crafts captivated me precisely with their lightness and unusualness. I’ll specially collect bottles and make such a curtain in my yard! I think you can use bottles of different sizes.

Curtains from plastic bottles. Photo from ru.pinterest.com The bottoms will come in handy, but you can also cut the leaves! From a distance it is not very clear what these transparent flowers hang on, but more interesting idea. We look ...

As you can see, you can fasten the flowers with threads, you can glue them to the base (for example, plastic wrap). I think this option is perfect for a gazebo. And it will be light, and the rain will not penetrate. There are a lot of options for curtains from bottles. But I still liked the first one better, and you? Actually, why not? Buying a lamp for the garden is unprofitable, just hanging a light bulb is ugly. Light from plastic bottles- great lighting option garden plot.

Such chandeliers are not ashamed to hang in the house.

The main rule: do not allow plastic parts to come into contact with the light bulb, otherwise they may melt. True, you can use energy saving lamp, it heats up less - up to +50...+60°C.

Girls! If you don’t know how to attach the light bulb itself, leave this matter to husbands, brothers or fathers ... From you - creativity, from them - a lighting element \u003d)))

Lampshade from plastic bottles. Photo from ru.pinterest.com I recently wrote about garden paths in article 9 garden path materials. But there was nothing about bottles, only about their caps. It turns out that a good path will turn out from the bottoms, along which it is pleasant to walk barefoot, massage the legs. Please note: the bottoms are laid on loose sand. When laying, the master makes an effort to fill the blanks with sand. This will prevent their deformation in the future when you walk around them. That's where the expanse is ... If you think that garden decor from bottles is not for you, perhaps you will be interested in useful things that can be made from them. The easiest option is to hang upside down the bottle, and when you need to wash your hands, just turn off the cap a little. It is better to cut off the bottom of the bottle and make it removable so that it is more convenient to pour water. There is nothing complicated here, even a child can handle it. Such a washbasin can be hung on a tree or somewhere else. By the way, use this idea when you go on a picnic - it's very convenient, and your hands are always clean. Wash-stand and box for packages from plastic bottles. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com It is advisable to make a home-made washbasin closing so that leaves, insects and other debris do not get into the water. There are also more complex designs. You can, for example, embed a hose with a tap into a large bottle. But this is to be quite convenient. Or you can make a box for bags, napkins or something similar out of a bottle. Making a scoop with your own hands is easy. Take the bottle and mark the shape of the future scoop with a marker. Next is the case of scissors. Well, or a knife. Scoop from a plastic bottle. Photo from ru.pinterest.com These are shoes that wear out pretty quickly. Therefore, durable and beautiful slippers on the farm will always come in handy. No, no, don't think that bottle slippers are just scoops with heels =))). I would like to see it ... Although there are simple options too. For example, this one:

A more complex version looks like this:

Of course, it is not necessary to make such bouquets. But in general, slippers are excellent. In order not to slip, and the leg feels comfortable, you can experiment with “layers”. How to make holes? Yes, even a hole punch! And if there are men in the house, let them solve this problem. There are many different ones. I will only talk about the windmill from the mole and the mosquito trap.

Let's start with the trap

Make it very easy. Cut off the top of the bottle and insert it upside down into the bottle. The design must be darkened with paper or cloth - mosquitoes will be more likely to fly there.

As a bait, pour sugar-yeast syrup on the bottom of the bottle. Easy to make: pour hot water, add sugar and yeast there, stir and cool. Such a trap will attract not only mosquitoes, but also bees, wasps, flies.

You can put the structure on the window or hang it - this is optional. It needs to be cleaned once a week. Traps for insects from plastic bottles. Photo from ru.pinterest.com By the way, I don’t know why the syrup is brown in the photo - maybe from cane sugar?))) Or maybe it’s kvass. By the way, yes - insects also fly to kvass. Somehow they left a jar of kvass on the porch, so many midges flocked there!

Wind vane that repels moles and more

These devices were described in detail in the article How to drive moles out of the country. There is also a video - you can see how to make such a design, how it works. Ask what scares him? At the bottom of the bottle, it is advised to pour beads, balls from bearings and other “rattling” elements. They say that the sound that this windmill makes is not tolerated by moles. Who has moles? Try it, then unsubscribe here, agreed? Yes, the axis on which the craft is attached must be stuck into the ground - I think you understand. About the fact that some are saved from the bear with the help of bottles, I think you already know. The bottom and throat of the bottle are cut off - a cylinder is obtained, which is dug into the ground. Such a "cover" protects the root system of a young plant from attacks by a bear. For these purposes, rectangular bottles are more suitable. For example, from under machine oils. However, there are also water bottles of this shape. Containers are made simply: mark with a marker, cut. Everything =))

Storage containers from plastic bottles. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com These boxes can be very useful in the household. Some plants do not like surface watering. Therefore, my mother waters some beds with plastic bottles. You need to cut off the bottom of the bottle, but not completely, to get something like a cap. We tear the earth on the side of the plant, make a small trench and put pebbles there. Drainage is needed so that water does not erode the soil. Then we put the bottles with their necks down and lay them on the ground. Now, to water the plant, all you need is to open the lid and pour the right amount of water. Some people dig in containers upside down, but then you need to make holes in the bottle so that the water leaves. Use of plastic bottles for watering. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com As for heating plants, you can simply pour water into bottles and put them over the plant. In the sun, the water will heat up and will give off heat to the earth for some time. I know that glass bottles are also dug into the ground, but today we are talking about plastic. Many people are generally contraindicated to work upside down. This is especially true for hypertensive patients. But how then to weed the garden? There are many devices, I will tell you about knee pads. If you work on your knees, your head will no longer be down, therefore, your well-being will not suffer. All you have to do is find the right bottles, fit them to your knees and cut the knee pads to the desired shape. Then attach the ties. Everything is simple. And what only pots from plastic bottles do not exist! Some simply pour earth into bottles, others make real masterpieces. The possibilities are endless. What's good: the bottles can always be painted in any color and hung anywhere. For example, what do you think of these ideas?

Flower pots. Photo from ru.pinterest.com Very nice, and you will not immediately guess what the pots are made of. I made my first candlestick from a plastic bottle back in primary school, at the lesson of labor. It's simple. Cut off the neck and bottom of the bottle (about half the bottle). Then cut the part with the bottom into strips and bend them. And inside you insert the part with the neck. She will hold the candle. In general, it's easy. Candlesticks made from plastic bottles can be very beautiful. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com But this is only one of the options, you can connect two necks. Instead of a thousand words, I will show one video.

Why buy a broom when you can make one in half an hour? On the farm, from time to time there is a need to pour something from one container to another. Not necessarily something edible - it happens, and diluted fertilizer, and poison for Colorado beetles ... Do not use a funnel from the kitchen for such purposes! And you can make a funnel from a bottle at any time. Funnels from plastic bottles. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com We fed the birds in such feeders all winter. Bottles used large, 5-liter. I cut out windows in them, made small “thresholds” and “porches”. So that it was comfortable for the birds to sit, and the snow did not sweep inside. Another plus is that it is convenient to hang such feeders on trees, they already have handles.

Bird feeders from plastic bottles. Photo from ru.pinterest.com This is not funnels with pots, but something more serious. Entrepreneurial people can build something out of anything. Plastic bottles, for example, make excellent greenhouses and gazebos. A finished medium-sized greenhouse costs more than 15 thousand rubles. I know for sure, because I was interested in this issue. Add to that the cost of assembly. Not everyone can figure out what's what. But there is an alternative that is not inferior in performance and will cost you ... only 500-700 empty plastic bottles! =))

The plastic from which the bottles are made is 20 times stronger than dense polyethylene. It keeps the temperature perfectly, does not melt in the sun and can last for decades. The greenhouse from plastic bottles has a number of advantages:

she is cheap;
durable;
easily repaired;
light in weight, it can be rearranged if necessary;
looks pretty cute.

Greenhouse from plastic bottles. Photo from parkdoma.ru I took a look at different sites and realized that there are 2 main ways to use plastic bottles in construction:

The bottom of each bottle is cut off. A thin rail is taken and all the bottles are strung on it. Get ready-made building strips.
The bottom and neck of the bottles are cut off. Then what happened - the middle part - is cut along. It turns out a rectangular piece of plastic. We iron it with an iron (necessarily through hard paper) to level it. From such sheets we sew more sheets. Overlap preferably. You can use an awl; for fastening parts - cord thread or wire. It is not recommended to sew with thread or fishing line - the seams will quickly rot and disperse.

Greenhouses from plastic bottles. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com When the sheets (slats) are ready, you can make a frame. It is made from ordinary wooden bars with a hammer and nails. Form - any. You can - a house, you can - a triangle. And then we attach what we made from bottles to the frame. In the first case, the planks should be placed as close to each other as possible so that the wind does not walk. Well, you can always stick it with tape. In general, you'll figure it out!)) And in the second case, ready-made plates from plastic bottles are simply nailed to wooden frame. Important point- roof. Generally, good frame able to withstand a rather heavy weight, but knowledgeable people advise covering the roof not with bottles, but polycarbonate sheets. Or something to strengthen for the winter - suddenly it will pile up a lot of snow. I’ll tell you right away that even houses are built from bottles, and what kind! A feast for the eyes! But mostly glass bottles are used - they are stronger all the same. And they do not need to be filled with additional sand. The technology for building a gazebo from plastic bottles is, in general, simple. The child will understand. We fill the bottles with sand. These will be our "bricks". We mark out the shape of the gazebo, think over the architecture, make cement mortar, foundation and build walls!

Arbor from plastic bottles. Photo from the site hs.fi There are, however, subtleties. For example, it is better to lay a reinforcing mesh between the rows of masonry - the structure will be stronger. In addition, until the solution is completely dry, it is better to hold the bottles with something so that they do not spread. Well, we follow the rules usual for masonry brick wall. Everything will work out! In conclusion, I want to say this. Friends, let's, if possible, find garbage some more useful application than a landfill. To have as few landfills as possible on the planet. And then even the seabed was dirtied, not to mention the shores. Plastic bottles are trash. Photo from the site ru.pinterest.com I am generally very angry with people in the spring: the snow melts, the first “snowdrops” open up to my eyes ... I even wrote to the newspaper, tried to influence my conscience somehow - it’s useless. I think I should print this post and spread it to all my neighbors))). Of course, there are not all options for using plastic bottles in the country ... You can also make boats ... mugs, chairs ... In general, anything))

Friends, I have one question for you: do you use plastic bottles on the farm, and if so, how? By the way, do not forget that you can post photos of your crafts and successful "inventions" in the comments;)

The trend of rational use of household waste has recently become more and more popular, especially for plastic containers. From plastic bottles, you can do with your own hands almost the entire country interior and more. One of the main advantages of this material is its long service life, besides it is very elastic. Do not forget that plastic bottles are an affordable material that every owner or hostess always has in stock.

Cheap and cheerful - we make flower beds from bottles

Plastic containers are ideal for as they have a great advantage over wood and even metal. Wooden fencing on flower beds or flower beds cracks or rots over time under the influence of moisture and the sun. Even metal curbs are susceptible to corrosion and require periodic maintenance, such as regular painting.

So, what can you do with plastic bottles with your own hands?

bottle borders

If you need to protect the flower garden, plastic containers of different sizes will do just fine. This will not only limit the space and prevent the growth of perennials, but will also retain moisture and prevent the emergence of weeds.

The shape and size of the flower bed depend only on the imagination of the summer resident: it can be either equilateral or in the form of some animal or plant. Also, bottles can be divided into segments of the flower bed itself.

Even a child can build a bottle border (with the help of adults, of course):

First of all, on the site, you should draw with a sharp object or pour the contours of the flower bed with sand.
Release the bottles from the labels, wash them, pour sand into them and tighten the cap. If this is not available, ordinary earth or water can be used. This is necessary for stability, since empty containers will quickly fall out of the fence.
Dig a groove along the outlined contour so that the bottle can be deepened by about 1/3 into it.
Place the filled bottles in the groove with the neck down, as close as possible to each other, and cover with earth.

For a visual effect, you can use bottles of different colors of plastic (green, white, brown).

Some summer residents do without digging in bottles. For example, bottles without a bottom are simply inserted into each other, forming a circle. The finished design can be "put on" or taken into the ring near the trunk circle of the tree. To fix the curb, it must be firmly pressed to the ground with arcs.

Multi-tiered flower bed

If you really want to have a flower garden, and there is a catastrophic lack of space, you can do it yourself from plastic bottles. The principle is the same as for the construction of the curb, only after laying the first tier, it is necessary to fill it with nutrient soil, and only then lay out the next floor.

When planting plants for the lower tier, it is better to choose moisture-loving specimens, since water will flow down when watering.

Mini flower beds

Beautiful and useful crafts for giving can be made from 5-liter plastic bottles. They will serve as miniature and cute flower beds, for example, in the shape of everyone's favorite piglets.

Group compositions in the form of trains with flowers look no less impressive.

And if you sow lawn grass instead of flowers, a large bottle turns into a cute hedgehog with green spines. It remains only to attach the eyes and nose.

Those who are not afraid of small rodents will like cute mice from small (liter) bottles. They are good for planting petunias.

Flower pots and flowerpots

But if you put a fabric cover on a cropped bottle and attach ropes, you will get elegant planters for a summer veranda.

Making a beautiful garden path

Tracks made of plastic containers are especially popular with summer residents. The strength of such a path depends on the laying method and what part of the plastic container serves as a building material:

Paths made of plastic bottles become very slippery in winter.

Fun playground - decorate a place for children's games

In the shade under a palm tree

What is a playground without a sandbox? And where there is sand, a palm tree must “grow”. For a Tropican, you will need green and brown bottles for the trunk and leaves, respectively.

Before proceeding with the assembly, you need to take care of a solid base. For example, fix a metal pin in a concrete screed, and it should be quite long so that the tree turns out high, and children can walk freely under it.

When the base is fixed, you can start "growing" palm trees:

cut off half of the bottle (the top with the neck is not needed) and form a jagged edge;
make a hole in the center of the bottom, string the blanks onto the base pin, while bending the teeth to the side for a more natural look;
cut off the bottom of the green bottle and make straight cuts along the entire contour to the place where the wall goes into the neck (if desired, the branches can be made curly - cut into 4 parts and place cloves on each);
string fragments of the branch on the base;
firmly attach the finished branches to the top of the stem (by welding or construction harnesses).

Such a Christmas tree will look great on the site in winter, especially under snow, and will also help out on New Year's Eve those who, in a hurry, did not have time to buy a living tree.

Guests from a fairy tale - funny animals

And of course, there must be toys. Often children take their old pets outside. With the help of plastic bottles, you can easily diversify the "zoo", creating real masterpieces - from the fabulous Frog Princess and the Golden Fish to modern cartoon characters.

Take at least a handsome cat, painted in black and white paint. And you can use brown beer bottles, and you get a brown cat, also beautiful.

Beautiful animals are also obtained from large 5-liter containers. With the right combination of bottles of different sizes and with the help of bright coloring, you can place a zebra, a horse, a cow, a donkey and even a giraffe on the site.

Flowers for my daughter

In the sandbox, children not only sculpt Easter cakes. Little girls are very fond of flowers and often pick dandelions on the lawn (or in their mother's flower bed) to plant in their sand garden. But you can make a whole greenhouse of flowers out of bottles, while the girls will be happy to take part in the manufacture of the simplest options. Daisies, cornflowers and tulips will decorate the sandbox, especially since young flower growers will be able to repeatedly "transplant" them from garden to garden without harm to plants and mother's nerves.

For flowers you will need:

stem wire;
flat parts of bottles for cutting leaves from them;
necks or bottoms for the most inflorescences;
dye.

More complex options can be done by adults. Plastic roses or poppies will decorate not only the playground, but also flower beds.

plastic design for garden

From plastic bottles have an extensive scope. So, if small animals and birds look appropriate in flowerbeds and playgrounds, then larger-scale animals can be placed in the garden, among trees and shrubs. They will give the garden a unique look and enliven it.

Amazing Garden Sculptures

Very impressive in the garden will look:

In the garden, you can place sculptures not only of birds, but also animals of a large enough size so that they do not get lost against the backdrop of tall trees.

Among the greenery, a bright spot will be a white sheep, which is quite easy to make if there are bottles of 2 liters and several 1.5 liters lying around in the pantry:

Cut off the necks of two 2 liter bottles and put them on top of each other - this will be an elongated head. From the third bottle, cut out long ears, roll them up a little with a tube and attach to the head in the appropriate places with wire (or glue). You can draw eyes or glue two plugs.
For the body, insert the whole neck into the bottle cut off from the top. Make 3 more such blanks and attach them to the first on the sides and top, thus giving the lamb the desired “waist” volume.
A whole two-liter bottle will serve as a neck, which should be fixed on the body at an angle of about 120 degrees so that the cork is on top.
To the neck (on the cork) set the head.
For legs, cut off the top of a two-liter bottle and insert a whole bottle of a smaller volume (1.5 liters) into it. Make three more such blanks and attach the legs to the body with the wide part up.
From the cut bottoms of two-liter bottles, make a fleece, fastening them together, and put on the body. Under the belly, tie the edges of the fur coat.
Paint the sheep with white paint and draw black eyes.

Bird care

Plastic bottles can be used not only for decorative purposes, but also for the benefit of the garden. After all, it is always inhabited by the summer resident's little helpers - a variety of birds that collect pests from trees. In the warm summer, they have something to eat, but in winter it becomes more difficult to get food. That's when the feeders hung around the garden come in handy. And if you involve children in the process, you get a double benefit: for children - an interesting activity and pleasure, and for birds - a cozy house with grains.

The simplest can be made from large 5 liter plastic bottles by simply cutting large arch-shaped holes on both sides.

So that the birds do not injure their paws on the sharp edges of the bottle, they must first be melted or pasted over with electrical tape.

For those who rarely visit their summer cottage in winter, a feeder that fills automatically is useful.

You can make it from a bottle and two wooden spoons:

make two holes in the bottle opposite each other, while the second should be slightly lower;
unfold the bottle and repeat the procedure on the reverse side;
insert spoons into the holes crosswise.

After the bottle is filled with food, it will be poured through the holes into the spoons as they are empty.

A cozy place to relax from improvised means

Not only birds, but also the owners themselves should have their own secluded corner among the greenery, where on warm summer evenings you can enjoy a cup of tea, inhaling the aromas of nature. Many prefer to put in the garden. They are very beautiful, you can’t argue with that, but they require certain financial investments. But from plastic it is cheap and cheerful to make not only a recreation area, but also to completely equip it.

Alcove? Easily!

Arbor - one of the largest crafts for giving from plastic bottles. But a plastic gazebo has two big advantages:

it is easy to assemble;
will last more than one year without damage to the material.

Perhaps the only drawback of the building is the presence of a large number of bottles that need to be stored somewhere during the collection process.

What the gazebo will look like depends only on the desire of the owner, and, accordingly, on the availability of “building materials”:

Practical curtains in the gazebo

For dreamy and romantic hostesses, delicate curtains made from the bottoms of plastic bottles, strung on a base, are suitable.

Energetic people who love bright colors are more suitable for cork curtains, assembled according to the same principle.

garden furniture

A table, ottoman, armchair and even a sofa in the gazebo can also be made from plastic bottles. The old one from the house is also quite suitable for outdoor recreation, but, like the curtains, it will eventually become a collection of dust. In addition, it is quite difficult to take a wooden sofa outside, because such furniture is rather bulky and heavy. But rearranging a plastic chair is not difficult.

Leatherette covers are more suitable for a sofa.

Unbreakable garden chandeliers

If you plan an evening tea party, you should definitely spend it in the gazebo. To ennoble the light bulb, you can cut the bottle into two parts and make a simple ceiling lamp from the upper half and paint it or paste over it with colored thread.

In plastic chandeliers, it is better to use economical light bulbs - they do not heat up so much and will not melt the material.

In more complex versions, chandeliers are assembled from fragments of leaves or flowers cut from multi-colored bottles.

Garden supplies for gardening

Craftsmen have long known how to use plastic bottles for their own benefit and savings for the family budget. After all, if the scoop suddenly breaks, you no longer have to run to the store for a new one. From household waste that is in every home, you get a lot of useful things at no extra cost:

garden care

From plastic bottles you can make useful things not only for the garden, but also for the garden. These can be both small crafts in the form of, and larger structures such as greenhouses.

Greenhouses for seedlings

Most summer residents grow seedlings of garden crops on their own. Some do it in apartment conditions, but better seedlings are obtained from greenhouses - there is enough heat and light.

You can no longer talk about the cost, but as for durability, plastic bottles will certainly last longer than film shelters or glass structures.

To increase the service life of plastic bottle greenhouses, it is advisable to put them on the foundation, and use a metal profile for the frame.

The simplest version of the greenhouse involves the construction of walls from whole bottles that are put on top of each other.

Watering "systems"

For gardeners, watering is no less a pressing issue than the presence of a greenhouse. Instead of ready-made watering systems in the garden, you can use. They must either be suspended above the bush, having previously made holes in the lower part, or dug into the ground.

In addition, the bottle makes a good sprinkler - you just need to make small holes in it and connect it to a watering hose.

Getting rid of pests

A plastic bottle repeller will help drive the summer resident's worst enemy from the site -. He not only plows the beds, digging his tunnels, but also damages the root system of plants in the course of action, depriving gardeners of the future harvest.

The list of what you can make from a plastic bottle with your own hands is quite long. These are just a few crafts that make life easier for summer residents. Agree - it is better to get the maximum benefit from bottles than to pollute the environment. Take care of nature and work with pleasure!

21 ideas for using plastic bottles - video

You can't do without a strong and comfortable house, a spacious and roomy shed, a beautiful and comfortable gazebo outside the city. But true identity and individuality land plot give homemade products for summer cottages and for the garden. It is about the manufacture of these sweet little things that will be discussed below.

Crafts from improvised materials

Not so long ago, the summer cottage was considered by our compatriots only as a source of fruits, berries and vegetables, which diversified the diet during the long and cold winter.

Now more and more people consider it as a place where you can have a good rest and relax after a busy week spent in the city. That is why many began to pay great attention to the decorative component.

Some hire landscape designers for this purpose, however, the price for their services is usually quite high. But many interesting and practical things that will decorate your yard, garden and vegetable garden can be made with your own hands. Moreover, for this you can use various improvised materials that would otherwise go to the landfill.

bottles

Country homemade products from polymer bottles are not only aesthetic, but also environmentally friendly. After all, plastic decomposes in landfills for a very long time, releasing harmful substances into the atmosphere. chemical substances. And using it as a building material, you breathe a second life into them.

Advice!
For the manufacture of certain designs, not only plastic, but also glass bottles are suitable.
By combining materials, shapes and colors, you can create a garden and garden installation that will play a key role in the landscape.

Here are just a few of the most common ideas:

Bird feeders. These useful crafts for home and garden not only decorate the exterior, but also help the birds, saving them from hunger. The material will be a plastic 3 or 6 liter bottle. The manufacturing process itself is simple. It is only necessary to cut holes of a suitable size in the right places and pour food inside.
Vases. By cutting off the top of the bottle, you can use it as a flowerpot for ornamental or garden plants.

Fences for flower beds. In this case, it is better to use glass bottles. By sticking them with their necks into the ground along the perimeter, you will get an original and original fence that diversifies appearance site.
Playground decorations. The first thing that comes to mind: a plastic spinner, a windmill or the sun. However, more creative and hardworking summer residents can be advised to make a palm tree. Our instructions below describe in detail all the stages of work.

Making a plastic palm

Before proceeding directly to manufacturing, you need to stock up on the following materials:

green and brown plastic bottles;
several bars of reinforcement or 2-3 pipes (according to the number of palms);
glue;
wire;
concrete or cement mortar for pouring the base.

Further operations are performed as follows:

A small hole is dug into which metal rods or steel pipes are placed in advance.
For strength, the structure is lined with stone, pieces of brick or cinder block, after which it is poured with concrete or a cement mixture.
For brown bottles, you need to cut off the bottom, and then put them on the previously installed pipe. The number of details depends on the height of the future palm tree. It is necessary to make sure that all the metal part is hidden.

Advice!
To make the decorative palm more durable, it is recommended to additionally glue the bottles together using silicone glue.

Tropical tree leaves are cut from green bottles. To do this, the bottom is removed from the parts, after which the cylinder is cut into narrow strips, without cutting about 2 cm to the neck.
Individual elements of the crown are mounted on a steel wire and fixed on it. Finished lush branches are attached to the supporting part by welding or bolts.

Note!
Once installed, a palm tree cannot be moved.
Because if you use country houses from block containers, make sure that after the construction of the capital structure, the decorative elements fit organically into the landscape design.

Car tires

From what else can you build homemade products in the country: products from car tires look great in the country.

Let's take a look at the most common ideas:

Flower garden. You need to paint your used tire and dig it into the ground about half the width.

Sandbox. A place for games is made similarly to a flower bed. Care must be taken that no pieces of reinforcing wire (cord) stick out of the tire, which can injure children.
Decorative figurines. It all depends on your imagination. The most difficult task is the correct cutting of the tire. It is best to use a hacksaw or a special power tool for these purposes.

Advice!
If there is no electricity at your dacha, renting a diesel generator for a summer residence will help out.
With this device, you will power a power saw, grinder, hammer drill and many other necessary power tools.

Making a stool

From a rubber tire for a car, you can make a comfortable and beautiful ottoman, which is suitable for a garden, gazebo or home.

In this case, the materials will be:

old tire from a wheel for a car;
two sheets of thick plywood;
thick hemp or synthetic rope.

The manufacturing process consists of the following successive steps:

Two circles are cut out of plywood sheets, whose diameter is 2-3 centimeters smaller than the size of the wheel.

The parts are attached to the rubber with self-tapping screws.
Then using glue gun a rope is attached to the tire. It must be glued so that the rubber base is not visible in the gaps.

After that, the entire surface is varnished, which will not only give the product an attractive appearance, but also extend its service life, protecting it from negative external factors.

Conclusion

The list of homemade products for giving in this material is not exhaustive. With a little creativity, you can make many other crafts from wood, bottle caps, old beds, and so on. You can learn more about this from the video in this article.

Handmade is popular in any manifestation, whether it is a gift to friends or joint creativity with a child. Water bottles, sodas, milk and juice bottles are a great base for crafts. The material is easy to process, durable, not afraid of precipitation, which is why craftsmen and eminent designers love it so much.

This is easy to verify by looking at the photo of crafts from plastic bottles. The ideas implemented on them are easy to repeat yourself, or they will become the starting point for creating new masterpieces in the interior or garden.

What to prepare for work

An important plus of do-it-yourself objects is that any material available on the farm is used for crafts. Plastic containers for drinks are a universal "raw material".

In progress are:

whole bottles of any volume, including canisters;
separately necks or curly bottoms:
the main smooth part;
covers.

The advantage of the material is ease of processing. Preparations can be:

pierce with a knife, awl, clamp needle
heat so that the plastic takes the desired shape and hardens
cut with scissors, utility knife

For decor, depending on the idea, you will need paints, the remains of threads, scraps of fabric, natural material (cones, twigs), artificial flowers, leaves. There will be a use for old children's toys, broken garden tools, ribbons, foam rubber, wrapping paper.

Schemes of crafts from plastic bottles are easy to find on the Internet, but if you lay out the existing bottles in front of you and different waste material ideas will come naturally.

Big features of a small bottle

No complicated tools or special skills are required. But as a result you can get:

real animals and fictional animals;
organizers for storing small items, stationery, garden supplies;
figurines of people, animated characters, fairy-tale heroes;
flowers and various floral arrangements;
flowerpots and flowerpots for indoor and outdoor plants;
bird feeders;
decor details for interior or landscape design.

Original ideas for crafts from bottles do not necessarily involve cutting containers. As a result of simple manipulations with loosened soil and multi-colored paint, you can build:

low figured hedge or framing for flower beds,
flat silhouette of a flower, insect, animal;
smiley.

In this case, the bottles are simply sunk into the ground to the desired depth, and the protruding parts are tinted in the selected color.

A beautiful garden without much hassle

In the store it will not be difficult to buy a garden figurine of any subject. The same goes for flowerpots, decor for a recreation area or flower garden. But similar things made with their own hands look no less impressive. Crafts from plastic bottles for the garden can be made in winter, so that at the beginning of the season they can be installed in places of honor in the country.

artificial reservoir

1.5 l bottles are painted in blue color 1/3 of the length, starting from the bottom. Then they are pressed into loose earth close to each other. No need to create perfectly smooth outlines. Let the artificial lake have an irregular shape.

It can be overlaid with large stones along the edges, and figures of waterfowl or water lilies can be installed “on the water”. Plants, by the way, can also be made from plastic containers.

locomotive

Form of 5 liter canisters from under drinking water reminiscent of train carriages. You will need whole bottles with a neck and soft plastic caps for homemade preparations. In the caps and sides of the bottles, two protocols are made from the bottom of the canister. Holes are located closer to the beginning and end of the workpiece on both sides. Then, with the help of flexible wire, the “wheels” are attached to the locomotive and trailers. Now the composition can be painted.

The neck of a soda bottle looks like a pipe, it can be inserted into the hole on the nose of the "engine". If rectangular holes are cut out on top of the cars around the perimeter of the bottle, soil is poured inside, then the train turns into pots for climbing and low plants.

Hares, pigs, and elephants

Cut off the top of a large round canister - and you get the body of an animal, on which even an inept artist will depict a muzzle and paws. From another bottle, you can cut long and thin ears, insert them into the slots closer to the edge of the bottle. Get a recognizable bunny.

The ears are rounded and small in size - for a bear cub, huge and wide ears - suitable for an elephant. If you place the canister horizontally, leaving a spout with a lid, then the small pointed ears and pink color will help turn the bottle into a perky pig. A crochet tail is obtained from a small bottle cut in a circle.

Excellent crafts are created from plastic containers cut to the desired height. If you make holes on the sides and insert a wire or twine as a handle, you get a convenient basket for picking berries.

It can be painted, glued (tied) with colored ribbons or twine, artificial flowers can be added. You can decorate the tuesok with an old lace doily or create a pattern from coffee beans.

1000 ideas for 1000 things

A detailed description of crafts from bottles for novice designers can be continued with such organizers that are necessary in any home.

Proponents of minimalism will appreciate the prefabricated composition of bottles with a cut neck, different in height and volume. They can be fastened together with a wire, stretching it at the puncture points and tightly twisting it into a flagellum inside the containers. Multi-colored caps, beads, applications made of fabric or self-adhesive paper will help to close the attachment points.

Hanging organizers are indispensable in the bathroom, home workshop, in the garage, in the corner of the needlewoman. You can make a rigid mount by cutting a hook or loop from a part of the bottle so that they are one piece. Or choose the option with fastening on a rope or wire according to the principle of a bow at a bucket.

Shaped baskets. Soft plastic is easy to arrange in the form of a basket. Then you can store, for example, cosmetics in it. It is appropriate to make a box for spices in the kitchen, and if thick foam rubber is laid on the bottom of the box, then the rings and stud earrings will look original in it. The edges of such baskets can be wavy, smooth, serrated.

Another idea for filling is a floral sponge. You can fix artificial buds in it or create a composition of fresh flowers.

Can apple trees bloom on Mars?

A master class on crafts from plastic bottles will be incomplete if you bypass the plants created from them. An exotic palm tree can easily grow in a house or garden, even if you live in middle lane Russia.

For flower arrangements can do:

Inflorescences from figured bottoms. It is enough to paint them with bright colors and install them on a rigid "stalk" of wire. Leaves can be made from green bottles.

Exotic buds. From a soft plastic center, you need to cut four-pointed holly blanks of different sizes. They can be connected in pairs, combining details of different shades, but from one colors. Each detail needs to be slightly shifted relative to each other, to create volume by bending the petals to the center or to the bottom of the bud.

Composite flowers. Rounded petals are prepared in advance and slightly melted over the flame of a candle. Through the holes made at the bottom of the petals, a bud is collected on a flexible wire.

Garlands. The easiest way to assemble them is from multi-colored bottoms from bottles with a volume of 0.5 to 1.5 liters. You can string buds horizontally or create vertical flowering vines. They can block the entrance to the gazebo or hang from the trees in the garden.

The leaves are cut small and round, tall and thin, like sedge, or with soft curves, like in wildlife. The latter option is easily obtained from strips cut by a wave, slightly scorched over a candle fire.

Bonus ideas

Before you enthusiastically engage in creativity, you can familiarize yourself with a small kaleidoscope of ideas available for implementation:

mosaic on garden path or the wall of the gazebo from plastic covers;
corrugated pipe or hose from an old vacuum cleaner as an elephant trunk, bird neck, giraffe, animal legs (a rigid wire frame is inserted inside to give the desired bends);
the bottoms of multi-colored bottles instead of mini-plafonds for a garland;
canisters from under conditioners and other detergents to create bizarre figures, funny faces;
a bottle as a sprinkler (pierced with a thin needle and put on a garden hose) or an automatic watering container.

It is not difficult to make sure that a plastic bottle is an inexhaustible source of ideas for creating useful little things. For more instructions on how to make a craft with your own hands, see our video.

Create, please others and enjoy the process of creation yourself. Remember that giving bottles and canisters a second life, you make the world cleaner and brighter!
