Apple and cherry trees at the dacha are no longer surprising, but a palm tree in the middle lane is possible. This tree does not need to be planted or watered. It will decorate the site anyway, as it is made of plastic bottles.
It is necessary
- - green and brown plastic bottles;
- - scissors;
- - metal rod;
- - candle;
- - drill;
- - knife.
Instructions
Step 1
A lot of plastic containers from kvass, water, beer accumulate at the summer cottage. In the city, it can be thrown into the garbage chute, in the country, garbage disposal is more troublesome. Don't throw away plastic bottles as they are great craft materials, especially palm trees.
Step 2
Before making the leaves of the palm tree, you need to create its trunk. Brown plastic bottles are perfect for him. Take a sharp pair of scissors and use them to cut a little less than half of the bottle from the bottom side.
Step 3
Take this piece and cut out the prongs that are about 7 centimeters high. Do the same with all brown bottles. The more of them, the higher the palm tree. Now, using a drill in each part (in the middle of the bottom), make a hole equal to the diameter of the metal bar.
Step 4
It's time for green bottles, use them to make palm leaves. Take a bottle and cut off the bottom of it. Now, from the bottom to the neck of the plastic container, make 3 long cuts at the same distance from each other for 1, 5-liter and 4 - for 2-liter bottles.
Step 5
Leave the neck intact. Put a plug on it, on which you also make a hole with a drill.
Step 6
Now on these "leaves" make fringed cuts on all sides. To make the workpiece look like a sheet, take a candle and heat each cut strip from the edge on it in turn. They will start to melt and you will have real palm leaves.
Step 7
Assemble the structure. Drive a metal rod into the ground 40 cm deep on the street, where the palm tree will flaunt. The upper part is arbitrary. It will be equal to the height of the tree. Put on the blanks for the barrel. Bend the triangular cuts outward.
Step 8
The last part of the barrel should be a bottle with a neck and a slotted bottom. Screw the plug with the hole made by the drill onto the neck. Put the leaves on the pin, and the palm tree from plastic bottles will be ready.
