If you try, you can make daisies out of plastic containers that look like real ones. Unlike natural creatures, bottle bottles will be decorative all year round. They will decorate a room, yard or summer cottage.
Preparing the necessary
To make five chamomile from plastic bottles, you need this:
- 2 transparent plastic bottles;
- 3 green plastic bottles;
- thermal gun;
- PVA glue;
- white and yellow acrylic paint;
- eyes for toys that are sold in dry goods or bulging buttons;
- a small handful of semolina;
- scissors;
- copper wire;
- marker.
Take a transparent bottle, cut off the bottom and neck from it. Cut the container itself in half lengthwise, unfold tightly. Draw a chamomile flower on it with a marker. It consists of many petals. You can picture 15-18. For one chamomile, you will need 2 such blanks. Cut them along the outline. Cut a hole in the middle with small scissors. It can also be done with a hot nail tip. Use a culinary glove or pliers to hold it by the bonnet. Cut out the blanks from the second transparent container.
Now take the green bottle. Cut a long ribbon out of it, drawing with scissors from the neck to the bottom and back several times. If it didn't work out long, it's okay, soon you will connect small workpieces.
Take toy eyes or bulky plastic buttons with a sewing loop at the bottom. Apply PVA glue to their top and sides with a brush and immediately dip in semolina. Let dry and then paint with yellow acrylic paint.
Now we need to add color to the petals. It is convenient to paint them from a spray can. Arrange the petals on cardboard, cover one side of them, wait a little, turn over and paint the other. If you cut the petals for daisies from white milk plastic bottles, you do not need to paint them.
How to collect chamomile
Take a piece of wire of the required length, put 2 blanks of petals on it, apply glue from a heat gun to the center, attach the yellow core, and on the other side - wire, apply glue to it. Heat the green strip slightly over the flame, without bringing it close to it to avoid soot, wrap it tightly around the stem. Wait for the strip to adhere. From the green bottle, cut out a couple of leaves for each chamomile, and glue them to the stem. Bend the tips of the petals slightly upward with your fingers to make them look like real ones. A flower from a plastic bottle is ready.
From a plastic milk bottle
If you wish, you can make large petals from white milk bottles. To do this, cut off the neck and the part below the shoulders at two. Take blanks, cut out a flower with large petals from each. Cut another bottle of the same size on the shoulders (without touching the neck), put these 2 blanks on it, bend the petals down and screw the neck with an orange cap. Fasten the bottom of the blank with a copper rod painted with green paint. Place a decorative flower in your garden.
