Making crafts with your own hands is interesting and exciting. The lesson is useful for developing thinking and creativity. Moreover, the material for creativity can always be found at hand. Take, for example, plastic bottles, unnecessary pieces of fabric, satin ribbons.
It is necessary
- - scissors;
- - two plastic bottles;
- - wire;
- - awl;
- - pliers;
- - glue;
- - car paint.
Instructions
Step 1
The most common now are crafts made from plastic bottles. This material is cheap, affordable, even children can easily handle it. The most original ideas are embodied from the costs of the chemical industry. For example, they create plastic flowers. The main thing is to turn on imagination and fantasy as to how this waste material can be used. Try to implement the idea by creating ordinary tulips from two plastic bottles.
Step 2
Take a plastic bottle and cut off the top with scissors. Along the edge of the lower part, cut out the petals of the future flower in the form of small triangles. They can be bent with hot water and a spoon. Dip the triangle (but not the entire workpiece) in hot water and press down on top with a spoon. Repeat the process carefully with all the petals. Your product will look more like a real tulip.
Step 3
Put the resulting flower blank on the leg. To do this, make a hole in the bottom of the flower glass with an awl. Insert a piece of wire into your plastic tulip. Bend the end of the wire inside this flower with pliers. Use a bottle cap for the middle of the flower.
Step 4
Now take another bottle and cut the leaves out of it. To make the leaves embossed, use a metal knitting needle. Heat it over a fire, for example with a lighter, and gently apply it to future leaves. Adjust the thickness of the lines with different knitting needles. Using a lighter, scorch the edges of the leaves and carefully attach them to the wire.
Step 5
It will be safer if the structure is secured with transparent silicone glue. It is a viscous-flowing polymer mass. Its transparency does not change over time. Just keep in mind that this glue dries much longer, but it is stronger than other known adhesives. For a more reliable fixation of the leaves, wind them with a thread to the wire for a couple of hours. The craft can be painted with automotive spray paint. These flowers will always look great in your garden.
