Masters and beginners alike use crafts made from plastic bottles for the interior, as garden decor and in the form of practical furniture. Colored plastic bottle caps are an excellent material for mosaic panels on walls and fences. Best ideas With detailed instructions and the photo can be easily implemented at the dacha, turning a bare area into a “clearing of fairy tales”, and filling the house with useful little things.

One of the craziest hands on the Runet, Roman Ursu, presented a crazy video in which he showed 70 ways to use plastic bottles.

Advantages of crafts made from plastic containers

A well-made souvenir or trinket will eventually develop into a hobby, if there are no limits to your imagination. Summer residents who have moved from simple fences on wire to buildings that delight in scale never cease to amaze.

From available material that many throw away, someone builds:

• greenhouse;
• carport;
• summer shower or bath;
• country toilet or shed;
• summer gazebo or sun canopy;
• a mansion for children or a playground;
• sandbox with decorative sides;
• various temporary buildings on the site.

Over time, plastic becomes a real environmental disaster - it is difficult to recycle. But once you involve everyone who cares in cleaning the area, there will be a whole mountain of empty PET bottles for building a greenhouse, cascading flower bed or vertical gardening. The only drawback is that it takes a long time to collect identical containers, since containers are produced in different colors and volumes.

To create original decoration required:

• interesting idea;
• ready-made role model (illustration);
• material for crafts with tools;
• step-by-step training plan guide.

In the hands of a true master, plastic bottles take on a second life, becoming functional objects. It is better to make souvenirs on a seasonal basis. For example, New Year's toys crafts in winter, practical country houses- in the summer, and in the spring and autumn it remains to build a “clearing of fairy tales” near the house for the children.

Furniture and interior items made from plastic bottles

Furniture made from plastic bottles looks like a masterpiece that is not accessible to everyone. They will need a lot plastic containers the same sample. Sofas and poufs impress with their design and comfort, not inferior to real furniture. There is nothing complicated if the sofa is made in blocks - seat, back, sides. If the container is not enough, the sofa blocks can be made one at a time. It’s better when you collect bottles from one drink, for example, two-liter kvass or lemonade.

The principle of “assembling” furniture from bottles is simple - they are placed in layers and tightly wrapped with tape. To make the furniture softer and more springy, a little air is released from each bottle and twisted tightly. At the place where the cap is, cut out a cap from another bottle and tape it with tape. It turns out to be a block with a bottom on both sides - this is the basis of the furniture.

Then it all depends on your imagination, the type of furniture and the number of bottles available. We wrapped 7 containers of the same volume with tape to create the base for an ottoman. What its appearance and style will be depends on the master. For a soft seat, you will need a round pillow or a block of foam rubber that fits the size of the top. The cover is cut to the size of the ottoman in the form of a cylinder, and it is convenient to insert a zipper along the side seams, but it is easier to sew the upholstery tightly.

To build a coffee table you will need 4 racks of plastic bottles and a plywood board as a table top, which can be hidden with a long tablecloth. They do it in a similar way convenient stand for a laptop or a remote table for the garden. For large furniture (sofa, chaise lounge or chair) made from plastic bottles, you will need a lot of patience and raw material.

Useful little things for the home from plastic bottles

Flowers and vases

Decorating a schoolchild's bedroom or children's room with crafts from plastic containers is not difficult. You can build a whole bouquet of artificial flowers. Place the resulting chrysanthemums, daisies or roses in a vase made of the same material, adding LED light bulbs to the middle insulated wire. This is what a night light of extraordinary beauty will look like, where the faint light shimmers in the plastic petals.

Advice: To give the leaves a special shape, use heating the blanks and folding the corners with tongs!

To place a homemade bouquet you will need a suitable vessel; simply cutting off part of the bottle is not aesthetically pleasing. The edges of the cut are marked with a ruler to make the cut, securing the result by heating the bends. Small transparent bottle cut off to the very top; cut off about half of a large container. We choose a material with a ribbed or “waist” in the middle to create an interesting base.

Then we do it as our imagination allows, but we bend the edges beautifully. The fringed cut is obtained from vertical or diagonal cuts in the plastic base. The resulting strips are evenly folded to the outside.

Pay attention! It is important that all the notches and the depth of the slot are absolutely identical, then the entire product will come out neat.

Depending on which edge is desired, the strips of the vase (the edges of any other product) are secured in different ways:

• curly bend;
• staplers;
• fusing;
• gluing with transparent polymers.

Flowerpots, flower pots and containers for seedlings

Colored plastic containers in the form of bottles and bottles of different sizes are suitable as containers for growing living plants. It is very easy to make a fragrant balcony from 3-liter tanks - a cascade of hanging petunias. Fragrant flowers hanging from cut containers will help make your dream of a beautiful piece of paradise come true.

Cut in half large bottles and the tanks are hung with both the bottom down and the lid. It is recommended to place large pebbles at the bottom for drainage. Excess water after watering will go to the plants in the lower rows. Plants are grown in the same containers without soil - hydroponic method with the addition of fertilizers. Fresh greens and seedlings (in urban and country conditions) are also germinated in prepared plastic bottles.

Advice: Use the compact form and ability to hang containers for vertical gardening with automatic watering. In the absence of the owners, watering cans with water immersed in the ground will cope with moistening the plants.

Traps and feeders

Using plastic bottles you can repel pests or attract birds to your site. To do this, the tank is used as a feeder, and traps made of bottles with chemicals are placed at the roots of fruit trees. From double plastic containers, craftsmen build traps for wasps, where they fly into sweet water and cannot get back out.

Equipment for a summer cottage

At the dacha a quick fix» It’s easy to make crafts from plastic bottles in the form of an impromptu washbasin by hanging a full bottle upside down. Just unscrew the lid a little and a small stream of water will help you wash your face and hands. It is also worth making a bench and organizing lighting with beautiful owls or plastic gnomes. Any garden decor for inspiration - with interesting illustrations.

Multifunctional items for the home

Make an original cosmetic bag from 2 bottoms of plastic bottles, sewing the edges together with a zipper. This box can be used as a multifunctional item - a piggy bank, a case for large beads, hairpins or jewelry.

It is convenient to knit from such a ball, suspended somewhere nearby, by pulling the thread from the ball inserted inside. It’s easier to find nail polish or a lipstick collection in a makeshift zippered box.

New Year's decor

Original all seasonal flower beds

The summer season is passing, and living flower beds are being replaced by homemade plastic flowers that are no less beautiful than real ones. Their advantage is the ability to decorate the territory at any time. These flower beds pale in comparison to living plants, but early spring And late autumn only they attract admiring glances.

For daisies you will need small plastic containers white(petals), yellow (centers) and green (leaves). You will also need an awl and a candle (for heating), “liquid nails,” scissors and stiff wire in green insulation.

We cut the base of the white bottle to the center, marking 16 segments - these are the petals. We bend the neat edges over the candle flame, and also make 2-3 chamomile corollas, which we connect in the center with an awl. Here the stem with leaves is fixed on a green wire, closing with the middle. We fill the center of the flower with a yellow basket with small cuts from 2 finely dissected circles with a fringe bent over the candle. We supplement the flower with green sepals from the bottom, collect all the parts and fix them together.

From the remaining pieces of green plastic, cut out leaves with a hole at the base (for stringing) and give them the desired shape, heating them over a candle flame. We attach the leaves to the wire handle; they should bend slightly around it. All that remains is for the chamomile to make several “companions” and find a worthy place for the bouquet.

All seasonal flower beds include mosaic compositions made from containers filled with earth. The lids are used to make wall panels. “Butterfly” or “ladybug” - in different versions.

Crafts from plastic bottles for the playground

An incredibly beautiful bird with plastic plumage – a whole “clearing of fairy tales”. These are the peacock or firebird, swans, pigeons, bullfinches and parrots. All of them are made from empty PET bottles according to the general principle:

1. Design an aesthetic bird’s head with eyes and beak;
2. Construct the torso and neck;
3. String plastic plumage;
4. Provide wings and tail;
5. Place on paws or secure to selected surface.

Plastic swans can be fenced off by a blue “lake” of upside down plastic bottles. Outlandish birds will decorate the trees in the corner of the garden, which is reserved for children's games. You can choose a themed decor, for example, a desert island with palm trees and parrots.

The material is collected throughout the year, but it’s easier to involve neighbors and acquaintances in the “ecological” cleaning project. There are special containers for plastic in the yards - it’s much easier to collect.

Preparation for work - removing labels and glue residues from plastic bottles; it is important to rinse well and discard the deformed material.

If vertical fences are built, they need to be filled. Depending on the idea, sand, stone chips or dry soil are poured into PET bottles, burying them 1/3 of the way down.

For selected purposes, plastics of varying elasticity are used. Heat treatment required for filigree work (flowers). It is important not to overheat the fragments cut into strips.

Fairy-tale characters sometimes require additional painting. For example, it is better to cover pink piglets for a playground with an aerosol from a spray can and secure them with transparent acrylic paint.

Plastic bottles are an excellent material for in capable hands. Using them as a basis, it’s easy to teach children a lesson in environmental education and fill your home or garden with practical things. At creative approach The color, volume and shape of plastic bottles themselves will prompt new ideas for an exciting creative process.

With an industrial hair dryer, this problem will be solved forever, and the strength of the cookware will increase. If you break it, you won't have to pick up the pieces and cut your hands. Using your imagination, you can decorate the jar well. It’s easy to do, you just need one bottle of suitable size and color and a piece of paper with an inscription or design that we want to attach. However, there is a way to do without an industrial hair dryer.

Method one.

Cut off the top of the bottle and place it on the bottom with the cork facing up, then place the jar with the inscription on the cork, put on gloves and start heating the industrial hair dryer. When the hairdryer heats up, you can begin to gently heat the jar in a circle, without stopping in one place. You need to take a reserve, the plastic will settle both in width and height. When the jar is tightly sealed with plastic, cut off the excess and heat the angular parts again, if all parts have become even, the jar is ready.

The pan should not be full, otherwise water will splash onto the stove. When everything is ready and the water is boiling, we lower the bottle into boiling water and begin to turn it slowly, holding the neck of the glass jar with tongs.

Advice.By holding the jar at an angle, the effect will be achieved faster.

Are you tired of balls of thread, getting tangled up with each other and getting stuck in knots, the way out is simple - we make a device from bottles of any size for holding threads in one place. At the same time, the balls will rub less, get tangled and get stuck. You can make a holder that can be attached to a chair or armchair. We cut the bottle closer to the neck, leaving a part that needs to be cut in the form of a rectangle to the bottom, after which we make a hole in the resulting tail according to the size of the lid and put it on.

Advice.The device can be hung by making holes on opposite edges and threading a thread through them.

With the onset of cold weather, all possible types of heaters are turned on in every house and at the same time indoor air becomes dry, and we begin to experience discomfort. Headaches, skin problems, irritation of the mucous membrane and other inconveniences can be avoided by making a silent, simple, convenient and reliable room humidifier. For this you will need:

• Adhesive tape
• Scissors or knife
• Strip of fabric or lace
• Two liter bottle
• gauze fabric

Advice.By pouring essential oils into a container, we get an air freshener.

Instructions

1. We make a 5×10 centimeter slot in the side of the bottle; errors are acceptable.
2. Using strips or string, we hang the resulting bottle on the straight upper pipe entering the battery with the hole facing up and secure it tightly with tape so that the bottle does not jump out and spin.
3. We fold the gauze several times to form a rectangle 10 centimeters wide and a meter long.
4. We place the middle of the folded fabric in the hole, and wrap the ends around the battery pipe.
5. Pour water into the resulting container and moisten the wound gauze, this is the maintenance of the device.

Mosquito trap

From a two liter bottle make a mosquito trap. The trap will attract small insects the results of fermentation processes, namely carbon dioxide. To make it you will need:

• 1 gram baker's yeast
• two liter bottle
• dark fabric
• 50 grams of sugar
• 200 ml of water with a temperature of no more than 40 degrees

We begin production by cutting it so that the neck, upside down, fits tightly into the bottle and does not reach the water. Now that the container is ready, pour in sugar, yeast and fill it with forty-degree water; it should not be warmer or hotter. If the liquid is too hot, fermentation will not begin due to the death of the yeast bacteria. Pour the water slowly and stir the mixture. Now we insert the neck into the bottle like a funnel. To catch mosquitoes, the trap must be covered with thick fabric that does not allow light to pass through or with paper. Once caught in such a trap, mosquitoes will not escape. Insects will be caught in such a trap for up to a week, after which we will change the mixture.

Advice.After preparing the mixture, place it in a warm place.

From several one and a half liter bottles we make a simple and extremely durable broom. This broom is convenient for sweeping floors and fleecy surfaces. The hardness of the broom depends on the number of pieces cut.

Manufacturing.

First, we make preparations. We cut off the neck and bottom, spread the middle into flaps to the middle, no wider than two centimeters. You will need 4 of these, and leave another one with the top and neck. Now we put everything together, and cut off the top of the next bottle, put it on what happened and squeeze it. We take a strong wire and thread it through all the bottles along the edges. We put everything on the handle through the cork and secure it with wire. For reliability, we drive a nail through the neck into the handle.

Advice.Use copper stranded wire.

If in nature we didn’t have mugs you can easily make it from a bottle. First, cut off the top, then use a knife or scissors to cut out a square, retreating 2-3 centimeters from the top cut. We cut it evenly and with the expectation that the width of the remaining jumper will be the handle. Turn the top ring inside out and push through the bottom. Now we have a mug that can help us out in nature.

Advice.Without cutting out a large square, you can fold the middle section and place the cork ring over it.

Create self-watering flower pot just cut off the top of the bottle first, then the middle part, so that the top part fits in without touching the bottom. Then we carefully make a hole in the cork and thread a thread through it. The thread should extend 5 centimeters from both sides of the cork. Now that everything is ready, pour water and insert the top part that looks like a funnel. Now we fill in the soil, not forgetting to wet it. The plant will absorb required quantity liquid, this will make caring for plants easier.

Advice.Fertilizers can be added to the tank.

Arriving in nature you forgot the cutlery there is nothing to notice them with. To save the situation, a bottle, a knife, and a lighter are enough.

The method is suitable for preparing dishes whose recipe includes a lot of eggs, for example, the common French meringue dessert “Meringue”.
