Crafts from plastic bottles for the garden, garden (photo with description)

The warmth is getting closer and gardeners are already thinking about how to improve their favorite land. Let's look at the most popular ideas that are easy to make with your own hands. And as an option, we suggest first making a flowerbed with a train.

To work we will need:

• plastic bottles of different sizes;
• dye.
• scissors.

We paint the driver's cabin blue, and draw the locomotive's eyes, nose and smile. Then take the eggplants and cut one side into a rectangle. We paint it with waterproof paint and make the wheels of the locomotive from logs. We place the cars close to each other. We fix the pipes with hot glue.

We found a colorful flowerbed caterpillar. It is made on the same principle as a steam locomotive, only the legs are cut out of linoleum, the muzzle is drawn on a wooden circle, and antennae are made from plastic eggs and wire.

We liked two garden figurines. Nice, right?

We found pigs to be an interesting option. And, they are convenient because they are mobile, portable piglets - the flower beds look amazing. Making them is not difficult.

For work we need:

• 6 liter plastic bottle;
• 4 bottle of 1.5 or 2 liters;
• spray paint;
• hot glue.

Let's take 4 1.5 liter bottles and cut off the tops of all of them as in the picture below. They will serve as pig's legs for us.

Apply hot glue to the drawn circle and glue the legs. Then, using a ruler and a felt-tip pen, we draw lines to cut out the back. This is necessary so that flowers can be planted inside.

Don't forget to make small holes when you water your flowers to prevent any drips. necessary moisture. We cut out the pig's ears and tail from plastic, fixing them all with hot glue. We take paint and apply it to the craft.

We draw eyes and heels. The mobile flower bed is ready. We draw eyes and heels. The mobile flower bed is ready. You can put it anywhere and anywhere.

If you want the paint to last much longer, then choose waterproof, or better yet, cover it with a good varnish.

All people have different fantasies, but creative works are amazing and never cease to amaze. For the next creativity we will need a large plastic container. We cut off the top part of it, and then treat the outside with a degreaser. We paint with acrylic paint to imitate brick laying. The flower pot (flower bed) is ready. Sadim Beautiful colors. Then you can do everything as in the photo, or you can leave it like that. It will also look very beautiful.

How do you feel about the number of swans on your property? It looks very interesting and beautiful.

In fact, all the works are wonderful; what distinguishes them is that some are easy to make, while others are more difficult.

If you have a large plot and you don’t plan to plant it completely, but it’s a shame to throw it away, then the following ideas are for you.

I liked the idea with the swans on the pond. Amazing work, do you like it?

We found a photo for you with a description of how to make a lily with your own hands for a pond. All this is of course a lot of work.

From plastic containers you can make a means for watering flowers, local area where beautiful green grass grows. In addition, you will save water, which is very good. Drip watering from above and below the root.

This material can be used to create not only beautiful garden decorations, but also useful ones. It’s not possible to buy a watering system for the lawn, so it’s not a problem. We will make everything you want ourselves.😊😉

Cheap and the lawn is green. Class! Since we are talking about useful things, I bring to your attention some charming feeders that will also decorate your garden. I really like them, they're just a sight for sore eyes. And by the way, they are suitable for decorating a kindergarten.

Let's take a closer look at how to make an interesting bird feeder. And so we cut off the top of the bottle, as in the photo.

Let's connect two parts and get a feeder with a roof.

We make four holes on the cork, insert a wire or rope through them and attach the feeder to the tree. We fix the roof with hot glue.

We paint the craft, dry it, add millet. We take care of the birds.

You can decorate the feeder however you like. Some people like everything to be kept to a minimum, while others like it to look catchy and make excellent DIY crafts catch the eye.

Original works from plastic containers for beginners

We often think about what to do with ourselves as a new person. We want to develop ourselves, and this is best done through creativity and no matter which one you choose. And so let’s move on to works made of plastic material, and in our case these are plastic eggplants.

We were looking for easy jobs so that a beginner could create beauty the first time. It's possible, don't be surprised. Be patient and willing. Perhaps a light one would be a bird feeder.

Take a 6-liter bottle and cut a window from the wall of the bottle. We make small holes on the side, insert two sticks and put cardboard inside. Sprinkle grain on it. You can crumble some bread or seeds into the bottom.

Let's move on to another creative work, namely, we will make flower pots.

We will need:

• Plastic bottle with a volume of 1.5-2 liters;
• dye;
• scissors

Cut the eggplant into three parts. Take the top part, circle the penny around the edge and make a wavy edge. Next, we’ll paint it in any color that suits your decor. We decorate the second part with different flowers or simply paint it.

There is one more interesting option pot from a bottle. They can not only improve your dacha, but also place them at home or on the balcony. Take an eggplant and cut it in half or choose any other height. Using hot glue, glue the cork and then the eyes. The pot is ready for use. I think it's very cute.

And you can make something like this. The main thing here is time, desires and imagination.

If you want to make a vertical garden, then plastic bottles will help you with this.

It’s cool to grow fox lettuce, for example. Very comfortably!

What else can a novice master easily make? For the flowers, draw a leaf template. We trace around the bottom of the bottle. Cut out and turn away the leaves. We spray paint it in any color and fix the cork center in the center with hot glue. Oh, you can make a flower differently, paint the center. Two flowers look very cute.

To paint crafts, choose waterproof paint, or better yet, coat the top with varnish.

We decorate the fence with flowers, see the photo below for how it will look. What’s also good is that we make flowers from two parts of the bottle (top and bottom).

We landscape the path along the edges with eggplants. First we paint them, and then decorate the bottom in the shape of a flower.

The bells look amazing and are easy to make.

Master classes on making crafts from plastic bottles

It's time to move on to the master class. And we will create a donkey out of eggplants. You are ready? Then let's not delay, but get straight to the point.

• drinking yoghurt bottles 4 pieces;
• one and a half shirt for the neck;
• Two-liter bottle for donkey's face;
• Three-liter bottle (you can use 5 liters) per body;
• One 1.5 l. on the ears;
• paints (gray and white).

We fix the eggplants together with hot glue or screws. The photo below shows how you should make a donkey.

We'll show you step by step photo how to make a donkey after all. We take the container for the body and cut off the top. We fix the yogurt lids to one side. Screw the containers to the lids.

We attach the neck and head to the donkey.

Here's another photo for you to see how it should turn out.

It remains to add a few details and the craft will look like a donkey. And, we make and attach the ears.

It is most convenient to paint with spray paint. When the paint dries, draw the eyes. The result is such a wonderful donkey.

How do you like this donkey?

The work process is the same, but the animal is different, including the giraffe. Everyone's imagination is different, which is why animals turn out to be individual. And this is actually very cool!

This is what a giraffe looks like at the dacha.😊

Elephant, also a frequent guest of many summer cottages. Don't believe me? Watch how to make it, and then we'll show you the real thing. The ears, legs, torso, tail are all made from plastic containers, but the trunk is made from a rubber hose or plastic pipe.

Glue the tail with glue and glue the paper to the bottle. You should get something like the photo below.

We draw two identical wings and glue them to the tail of the plane.

Don’t scold me too much, even though I have two sons, I still don’t remember what the parts of the plane are called.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️So we glue two cylinders of colored paper on the sides.

We glue two wings on the sides, our plane is almost ready.

We unscrew the lid, trace it, cut it out and decorate the plane. Let's not forget about the turntable at the nose of the plane. We made a children's toy easily and simply. It’s a pleasure to play with such a toy in the countryside.

You can choose any color. For example, we found such a plane. And everyone is good-looking.

Let's make a plane a little more complicated. You don’t need a lot of materials to create it, everything is the same, just add spray paint. We will also need:

• plastic containers;
• White paper;
• cardboard;
• two-way cattle;
• dye.

We measure the size of paper for the bottle, then apply double-sided tape to the edge. We wrap the container.

And we immediately form the tail of the plane.

Let's start making wings, we will make them from cardboard. To do this, we first draw according to size and then cut it out.

We still need other details. I won’t write the dimensions, they are clearly visible in the photo.

We glue it to the base of the plane with double-sided tape or hot glue. We create four turbines from paper and corks.

Then we glue the turbines to the plane.

We cover everything with paint and let it dry well. This is how it should work out for you. Choose the color to your taste.

We decorate the plane, cut out and add vents, and attach their buttons.

I liked the helicopter made from plastic containers; it also turns out to be a stunning, interesting option.

You can make a lot of interesting and fun things for children from plastic containers. You can have a tea party at fresh air. Then you simply need a service.

It wouldn't hurt to have a piggy bank in the house. Cut a hole on the back. And you can decorate the pig beautifully. Children will put money there and learn to collect for their goals!

There are a lot of different ideas and they are all good in their own way.

One of the most crazy hands Runet Roman Ursu presented an amazing 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, which 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 if 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 the long collection of identical containers, since the containers are produced different color and volume.

For creating 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 are made in the winter, practical country houses are made in the summer, and in spring and autumn it remains to build a “clearing of fairy tales” near the house for 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 require a lot of plastic containers of the same type. 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 soft seat You will need a round pillow or a block of foam rubber to fit 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.

For construction 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. In a similar way, they make a convenient stand for a laptop or an external table for the garden. For large furniture (sofa, chaise longue 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 make a whole bouquet artificial flowers. Place the resulting chrysanthemums, daisies or roses in a vase made of the same material, complementing the centers diode light bulbs on an 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. A small transparent bottle is cut off to the very top, and about half of a large container is cut off. 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.

Note! 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.

Large bottles and tanks cut in half 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. In the same containers, plants are grown 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. For this purpose, the tank is used as a feeder, and at the roots fruit trees place traps from bottles of chemicals. From double plastic containers, craftsmen construct traps for wasps, where they fly into sweet water and can't get back.

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 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 in early spring and in late autumn only they attract admiring glances.

For daisies you will need small plastic containers of 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 around it slightly. 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 with 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 is 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 in the right 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. With a creative approach, the color, volume and shape of plastic bottles themselves will prompt new ideas for an exciting creative process.
