1:1554How to make a rose from a plastic bottle:
What materials and tools are needed to make a rose from a plastic bottle?
Depending on what color of the rose you want to make, prepare a blue, white or red bottle. For the stem and leaf - green. We also need a candle, scissors, an awl, a marker and a piece of stiff wire in the winding.
Bud preparation:
Cut the bottle into squares (we need 7 squares, see the picture), then draw on each petals: large, medium and small, and then cut out. Use an awl to make holes in the center of each workpiece. Above the candle flame, give the blanks a natural shape.

Sepal and leaf preparation:
We make the sepals and leaves from a green plastic bottle. The technology for making these parts is the same as for the bud.
3:813 3:822
Stem harvest:
The stem, like all the green parts of the flower, is made from a green plastic bottle. To do this, cut a ribbon in a spiral, and then wind it over a piece of stiff wire over the candles.
5:370 5:379
Assembling a rose:
First we put on the sepal on the stem, then we put on the petals of the bud - from the largest to the smallest. To secure the bud to the stem, bend the end of the wire with pliers. Next, take a leaf and wind it over the fire on the stem. That's all - our rose from a plastic bottle is ready!

7:102
We make whisks:
To implement the idea, you will need white yogurt bottles.
8:771 8:780From them you need to cut out circles with a diameter of about 10 cm, inside which draw a small circle with a felt-tip pen, which will serve as the middle of the flower. Further, in each workpiece, make 16 cuts around the circumference.
8:1148 8:1157Use scissors to round the edges of the petals, and make a hole in the center with an awl. For the splendor of the flower, you can use two such blanks. Then molding is carried out over the flame of the candle.
8:15158:8
This technique will give the petals a natural and slightly curved shape. It is worth being extremely careful here, because if you stay over the flame for a long time, the parts can seriously deform.
8:374 8:383
Preparation of the middle of the flower:
To make the middle of the chamomile, you need a yellow bottle. Cut out two or three circles with a diameter of about 2 cm. Using nail scissors, make a fringe along the edge and slightly curl it over the candle. Cut a small piece on one piece, about 1/5 of the circle.
9:1442 9:1451

We make the sepal, stem and leaves:
A wooden skewer or a wire in a winding can act as a stem. Further technology, like a rose.
10:275 10:284From a green plastic bottle, cut a spiral-shaped strip no more than 0.5 cm thick.Use a candle to screw it onto the stem. To create the sepal, cut out some green five or six-pointed stars.
10:701 10:710Again, shape over the flame. Make chamomile leaves from a green bottle too.
10:892 10:901 11:1405 11:1414We collect the flower:
The final stage of the assembly.
11:1506On the pointed part of the stem, put on the sepal first, then the bases of the petals and the yellow cores.
11:194 11:203If you have a skewer as a stem, then put a piece of plasticine on its end, if you used a wire, then make a loop so that the parts do not fall off.
11:516 11:525Then attach the leaves to the stem by holding them over the candle. That's all, chamomile from a plastic bottle is ready!
11:733 11:742 12:1246 12:1255How to make a peony from a plastic bottle:
The peony differs from previous works only in the bud and larger leaves on the stem. Therefore, below we give instructions on how to make the bud itself, and you can make the stem and leaves as described above.
12:1713 12:8
Peony blank:
Let's make a blank template on paper - draw a whisk in three sizes.
13:697 13:706Now we make three blanks - this time we take a transparent container, and then paint it in the desired bright color. Remember to cut through each petal almost to the core.
13:1018 13:1027We give a "live" look to the rims by holding the blank over the candle.
13:1151 13:1160
Coloring and assembling the bud:
We cover the blanks with acrylic paint from a spray can.
We collect the details of the bud by gluing them to each other. Then we decorate the core with beads, imitating anthers.

Details for workpieces:
To create a flower, you will need three tops of bottles without a neck in white and one top with a neck from a yellow bottle (if there is no yellow bottle, you can make a part from white or transparent plastic and cover it with acrylic paint).
16:196616:8
Making the core of the water lily:
You need to start from the middle of the flower. Take a yellow blank and make 8 petals with rounded ends.
17:772For the stamens, you need a wide strip of yellow, cut into noodles.
17:911Wrap the stamens inside over the flame, twist the part clockwise, fastening with glue.
17:1083Connect the stamens to the core of the flower with glue.
17:1188 17:1197 18:1701
We collect the water lily:
Now take care of the petals of the water lily itself, which are made from white blanks.
18:194Gently make oblong petals with pointed ends in a circle.
18:340Put all three white details on the core with stamens. The water lily is ready!

Useful Tips
With these flowers you can decorate gifts, premises and / or postcards... They not only look beautiful, but they will forever "bloom".

To make beauty out of garbage beautiful and noble in relation to our planet... We offer you several color options made from plastic bottles.
Flowers from a plastic bottle. Option 1.
You will need:
Plastic bottles
Scissors
Lighter or candle
Pliers or tweezers
Tip: Try to work in a well-ventilated room, on a balcony or outside. If you decide to make plastic flowers at home, open the windows and leave them open during and after work.
1. You can use the center, bottom, and / or top of a plastic bottle.
First you need to draw a template for your flower and cut it out.
3. All the petals of the flower must be bent to one side.
4. Get your lighter ready. Take the flower with pliers and bring it to the flame. As the flower begins to heat up, its petals will begin to deform.
Be careful not to overheat or ruin the flower.
Form all the petals one by one.
5. It is worth making several similar blanks.
6. You have ready-made semi-finished products. Now they need to be connected together in the middle. Prepare 2-3 blanks. The connection can be made using the same heat.
You can also make two holes in the middle of the blanks in advance and sew them together, having previously attached a decorative button on top.
A flower from a plastic bottle. Option 2.
1. You need to make 7 blanks, but each should be smaller than the previous one. To make them, first draw 7 templates (see picture).
2. Trace the templates on the pre-made plastic bottle pieces and cut out the quatrefoils.
3. In the middle of each workpiece, you need to make a small hole with an awl.
4. Now each piece needs to be melted over the fire. Use a lighter or candle and, as in the first example, start heating the workpiece, while bending the petals up in turn.
5. Prepare a green plastic bottle to make a sepal corolla. Make a whisk like the previous details, i.e. melt each petal a little and make a hole in the middle.
6. The stem of the flower with leaves is also made from a green bottle and wire. A spiral must be cut from the central part of the bottle. Its width should be about 1cm.
7. Prepare the wire. It needs to be wrapped in a spiral cut from a bottle. It is worth noting that when wrapping, you need to heat the spiral over the flame.
9. Press the beaters firmly against one another to release the end of the wire, which in turn needs to be folded into a loop.
10. Prepare a leaf stencil out of thick paper and use it to cut leaves from a green plastic bottle. Like the rest of the details, the leaves need to be melted and twisted a little (see the picture).
Flower from plastic bottles. Option 3.
You will need:
Plastic bottles
Scissors
Spray paint cans
1. Prepare two colors of paints. Use one spray can to paint the entire bottle, and with the other paint several different stripes.
2. When the paint is dry, cut each bottle into 2 pieces (you can choose any size).
3. Start carving out the petals. To do this, you need to make cuts on each part of the plastic bottle. Do this so that you get petal-like stripes.
Plastic bottles. Flowers. Master Class. Option 4.
You will need:
Plastic bottles
Stationery knife
Bead
1. Prepare plastic bottles and cut off the bottom of each bottle.
2. Hold the tips of the petals over the candle for a more realistic look.
3. Pick a paint color like orange and paint the flower. You can also paint the tips of the petals by applying a thin green line.
4. Heat the dot in the middle and glue a twig to it.
5. Use green paint to paint the small flower.
6. For beauty, you can attach a bead to the center of the flower.

How to make flowers from plastic bottles. Option 5.
You will need:
Plastic bottles
Markers
Scissors
Decorations for flowers
Glue (better superglue)
Baking tray
Oven
1. Wash and dry the plastic bottle.
2. Use scissors to cut the bottom of the bottle. You can experiment with the shape, but you should still end up with a flower-like shape.
3. Make sure the area is well ventilated. Prepare an old baking sheet and place the bottoms of the plastic bottles on top of it.
Turn on the oven and bring the temperature inside to about 200 degrees. At this temperature, you need to hold a baking sheet with plastic flowers for about 10 minutes.
4. Remove the baking sheet and let the molds cool. Take them off and start decorating to taste. You can use markers, or glue the beads in the middle of the flower.
How to make a flower from a plastic bottle. Option 6.
You will need:
Plastic bottles
Stationery knife
Scissors
Acrylic paint and brush
Glue (better glue gun)
Drill (for holes)
Buttons
Connecting rings
Candle, lighter or heat gun
Baking tray
Oven
Needle-nose pliers
1. Cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle to create a flower-like shape.
2. With an awl, make 2 holes in each "flower" - the holes should be on opposite sides, at the edge of each petal. Using these holes, it will be possible to connect all the flowers with rings.
3. Place the pieces on a baking sheet. While holding the flower with tweezers, start heating the flower with a flame or heat gun. Do this carefully and do not overdo it. It is also worth remembering about the safety and ventilation of the room.
The flower petals will begin to bend as they heat up, so stop heating when the petals are in the shape you want.
4. Start painting the flowers with acrylics. Next, let the paint dry. It is not necessary to paint on both sides.
5. Make two holes in the middle of each flower to sew on the buttons.
Modern designers do not use anything in their work, so if you want to learn how to make flowers from plastic bottles with your own hands (step by step for beginners), then you can also be called partly a designer. Well, or at least just an original creative person.
The process itself is not too complicated, but there are some nuances. Plastic is not plasticine, you can't just give it a shape, it needs heating. So let's start with safety precautions.
Precautions for work
As already mentioned above, the plastic will have to be heated. To do this, you need the most common candle. You should not use a lighter, because a long delay in the lighted state can lead to overheating and explosion.
Be sure to cover the work surface with heavy paper. Plastic can melt when heated, and drops of solidified plastic from tables are usually scraped off with paint, forming ugly burns.
By the way, about the burns. Be careful - drops of plastic and wax from the candle can fall not only on the table, but also on your hands. Do not wear rubber gloves or you may get a double burn. It is better to closely monitor the process and the resulting drops.
Also, do not forget about safety measures when painting products - when working with spray paint, use a respirator.
The room in which you are going to make crafts must be well ventilated. In general, it is better to do it on the street.
Tools for the job
You will need for work:
- Plastic bottles of different sizes
- Sharp scissors
- Construction (large stationery) knife
- Candle
- Lighter or matches
- Wire
- Beads and large beads
- Glue, electrical tape, awl
- Paints
The scissors should be stiff with sharp noses and good sharpening. Choose PVA or similar glue, but with good tenacity. It is not worth taking the moment to glue - it hardens very quickly, and not always the product can be folded right away as expected.
Let's move on to crafts
Now we go directly to the instructions on how to make flowers from plastic bottles with our own hands (step by step for beginners).
Before you start cutting out the bottles, make stencils of the petals and other cutouts out of cardboard, so it will be easier to mark the cutout parts. The plastic does not hold either a pen or a pencil, so it is best to mark the boundaries of the cuts with a needle or awl. You can slightly warm the tip, then there will be clearer traces.
After all the necessary parts have been cut out, they need to be burned and smoothed. For this, the edges are heated with a candle. After heating, the edges not only become smooth, but also slightly wavy, giving the product a more natural look.
Clivia is considered the easiest flower for beginners. You don't even need to cut anything to make it. Cut off the bottom of the bottle. Cut the top into 6 approximately equal strips to the neck. Round the top of the strips slightly. And treat each petal with a candle.
Now make a core out of the beads. To do this, beads are strung in one row on one end of the wire, and then the other end is passed through all the beads, except for the last, in the reverse order. Simply put, the wire is folded in half, a bead is hung in the middle between the halves. And the rest are strung on both ends at once.
You can use glue to connect the core to the flower. But it will be safer to make several small holes in the lid with a hot awl, thread a wire through them and twist on the outside.
A flower stem can be made from narrow bottles, such as shampoo bottles. Several bottles are connected to each other in a stem using wire and electrical tape. Then a flower is attached to the stem with the help of electrical tape.
Now the structure can be painted, dried and set up in the garden!

Good day to all!
Summer is coming and together with the preparation of your summer cottage for the garden season, you need to do its design.
The use of old and unnecessary things has become not only popular, but also environmentally friendly. Used car tires, corks, plastic bottles - all of this can be used to create very interesting and unusual creations.
If you have accumulated a lot of plastic bottles, then why throw them away, let alone burn them (each burnt bottle increases the amount of harmful carcinogenic substances in the atmosphere). Many interesting crafts can be made of them, which is what most gardeners do. In this article, we'll take a look at what can be made from this material.
Let's start with the simplest. If you do not need any figures on the site, then making flower beds will be just right.
Such a wonderful border can be made by digging inverted bottles into the ground. You can paint them, or you can leave them that way. You can make it even more interesting. If you cut them in half and dig them in not upside down, but down, but pour earth into the free space and plant some kind of flower. Then you will get a border not only from bottles, but also from flowers.
If you insert the cut plastic container into each other, you get another version of the border that does not need to be dug in.
The next photo shows a two-tiered flower bed. If desired, you can make several more tiers.
In general, there are a lot of options. The main thing is to show imagination.
From corks from plastic bottles, you can make a path in the garden.
If you decide to make interesting crafts, then the examples given here may help you to realize your ideas.
A wonderful craft, which also uses additional materials in the form of old shoes and fittings.
And this photo shows the original design of a sofa made from plastic bottles.
If you want your garden to look like a house somewhere in the tropics, then you can "plant" such palm trees.
By the way, you can fence with plastic bottles not only flower beds, but also make beds.
Also, if there are a lot of bottles, then whole structures can be made of them, like this gazebo.
You can also make fencing of your site from bottles. For example such a fence.
We will be very interesting to decorate the summer veranda in our country house, having made both furniture and elements of room decor.
Well, if you have a river or some other body of water nearby, then such a boat will simply be necessary.
The most traditional thing that can be made from plastic bottles, and what many people do safely, is a bird feeder. Five-liter containers are well suited here.
If you are an amateur gardener and do alpine slides, then a Mexican-style slide decorated with cacti will suit your taste.
And, of course, flowers. This handmade product is created from almost any material. Paper flowers - origami, are made most often for holidays or any other events. Silk or satin flowers. Plastic is just as well suited for this purpose.
You can also decorate your personal plot with such flowers, and put it in a vase in the room.
There are a lot of options for making such a craft - it all depends on imagination and capabilities. Some of these options will be discussed below.
How to make flowers with your own hands (step by step instructions)
Plastic bottles can also be used to make decorative flowers. There are a lot of options for such crafts, here we will consider the most common.
In the first version, such a craft is done.
To make such a flower, take a bottle and cut off the top and bottom of it. As a result, we get three blanks.
Now we take the upper part and make cuts from the bottom - to the neck, so that we get flower petals and filaments.
Their number may vary. Thin strips will be sepals, which must be bent to the sides and twisted with a knife or scissors.
In the same way, bend and twist wide strips that will be petals. Only the stamens will remain up. As a result, we get the following construction.
To make the flower look more beautiful, you can paint it with nail polish. You choose the color yourself, which one will look best.
From the bottom of the bottle, you can build the same flower in the same way. There is no need to tighten the cut parts only.
Another interesting and uncomplicated way of making flowers. Here we will use colorful bottles, corks from them and wire for the stem.
From the bottle we need the bottom here. Cut it off carefully and cut out the petals.
A wire is threaded into the middle of the flower and fixed on the outside with a loop.
A lid is glued in the center of the flower. As a result, we get a flower, but still with a wire stem. In the next step, we make the stem.
To do this, cut off a strip about half a centimeter wide from the green bottle.
We wrap the stem with this strip. In order for the plastic strip to wrap well, it must be heated with a lighter.
Cut the leaves from the same green bottle and attach them to the stem in the same way.
Thus, the plastic flowers are ready.
This option for making flowers is very simple. On the wire, which serves as the basis of the flower, we string the circles cut from the bottle.
They can be made in different colors. And decorate, then, even a flower bed in the garden.
If you use the bottom of the bottle, then you can make this kind of flower.
And I want to give a photo scheme of another interesting product.
Here, too, everything is simple. We make a pattern of petals, according to which we cut out a blank from a red bottle. Cut out the leaves from the green one. We give the red blanks a different shape by heating. The diagram also shows that small jagged teeth can be cut along the edges with scissors. That is, make the flower double.
After that, the finished flower petals are attached to the wire. She herself is wrapped in a green strip (as in the variant above) and the leaves are attached. As a result, we get a finished flower.
We make pots and vases for flowers in the country (master class for beginners)
Since we talked earlier about making artificial flowers, how not to forget about the real ones and not make a pot or a vase for them. However, an artificial flower made right there can be placed in it.
I want to start with the simplest option. Probably few would have guessed about it, it is so simple to manufacture. All we need here is a bottle and an unnecessary CD.
Cut off the upper part from the bottle. The size of this part depends on what will be planted in the pot. We leave the cork on the neck. Having smeared glue on it, glue this part to the disc. The vase is almost ready. To make it look beautiful, we either paint it in one color, or paint it. By the way, the lower part left over from the "halving" can also be used under the pot.
In the next version of the flowerpot, the upper and lower halves are combined together.
If you cut off the lower part from the bottle, it stands well, and then glue the nose from the cork to it, make the eyes, then you can get such a decorative pot.
Another very simple option for making a flower vase from a bottle. This option works well if you decide to decorate the wall with flowers such as petunias. To this end, we cut out the side wall of the bottle, make holes through which we pass the rope.
To keep the bottle, we make knots at the bottom, on which it will hang. Having poured the earth and planted our favorite flowers, we will get such a beauty.
These pots can be made differently. Cut off the upper part, close it with a cork, paint it as needed. After that, we fill up the earth, plant a plant and hang it where necessary.

Beautiful zoo in the country from bottles
Many people are now striving to make beautiful sculptures on their site. This is due to the fact that most people come to the dacha not only to stand in the garden all day, but also to take a break from the city. And if your summer cottage is beautifully decorated, then the rest will be good.
Most often, the figures are made in the form of animals. It is quite easy to make such crafts, and the material is always at hand.
