Plastic eggplants. Crafts from plastic bottles. Manufacturing and assembly instructions
1. Furniture
Some design solutions simply amaze! Take, for example, beds made entirely of plastic. But something less complex and large-scale, for example, an ottoman, you can create yourself. To do this, you will need: plastic bottles, adhesive tape, fabric for the cover and yarn or ribbon with fringe for finishing, cardboard, synthetic winterizer in rolls.
Glue the bottles with adhesive tape so that you get a round frame for the pouffe. Make sure that all the bottles are glued at the same level, and none protrude! Now we cut out circles from thick cardboard for the top and bottom of your ottoman. Again, we carefully fasten everything with adhesive tape, cover it with padding polyester (use a double layer on the sides) and sew it together. Separately, you need to sew a cover from any fabric (you can use unnecessary flaps) and pull it over the pouffe. The final stage is colorful and soft case from yarn. If you do not want to fool around with knitting, sew beautiful case from faux fur or an old knitted sweater.
2. Original decorations
It is not known who was the first to start making jewelry out of plastic, but only the Turkish artist Gulnur Ozdalgar took up this needlework. As a result, for a couple of years, neither she, nor her friends and neighbors have thrown away a single bottle! The talented artist used everything - she made lace vases, earrings, necklaces, pendants, buttons, rings out of them ...
The specifics of the work: a part cut out of plastic is fired over a fire and attached to the product. There is another option - you can cut the bottle into rings (without cutting them), which are then tied or braided with a cloth. Beautiful and colorful bracelets are obtained.
3. Organizers and boxes
Who is engaged in needlework closely, he knows how hard it is to support his workplace in order - threads, needles, beads and accessories strive to constantly crawl, get confused, stick ... More experienced craftswomen create all kinds of organizers for themselves, or use old boxes, vases, baskets, jars and even plastic bottles for storage! To make such a handy plastic thing with your own hands, you only need bottles, scissors, a hole punch and threads. Cut out the walls and lid of the future organizer from plastic (you can create a paper mock-up beforehand so as not to be mistaken with the dimensions of the parts) and pierce them from all sides with a hole punch - where the parts will be sewn together and where you want to put just decorative seams. Now sew. Don't forget the pen!
Sew a zipper between the cover of the organizer and the upper rim - this will make your product as convenient as possible. With these boxes, your favorite patchwork ribbons will always be in their place.
You can make a plastic box in another way - cut off two convex "bottoms" from the bottle and fasten them together with a zipper. In such boxes it is convenient to take breakfast with you - and it does not stain the contents of the bag, and will not be crushed among books and papers.
4. Sculptures
They can be roughly divided into "home-type" sculptures and serious propaganda works by leading designers.
5. Bags
Such unusual bags are made very simply. You need to cut out plastic bottles many identical rectangles of the same color. Then you pierce each piece from all sides with a hole punch and sew together with any decorative seams. Since the bag will be transparent, take care of the inner cover in advance!
6. Flowers
Plastic flowers remind the thinnest glass- how elegant they are. Their details are simply cut out of bottles according to a pattern or without it, and then the edges are lightly burned with fire (they are driven over a lit candle-pill) so that the irregularities are smoothed out and the petal is beautifully curved. Such flowers may be independent products, and can become a detail of jewelry, clothes, bags, photo frames, gift wrapping.
7. Candlesticks
You can use either the bottom or the top of the bottle. The first option: just cut off the convex lower parts, and gently burn the edges and decorate with ribbons or beads. In such candlesticks, it is best to put ordinary “pills”. The second option: connect the two tops of the plastic bottle together with the neck and thread (see photo) and put a long candle inside. Very convenient - wax, flowing down, will accumulate in the upper "cup" and will not stain your tablecloth or table.
You can try to create such a cute “corn” - cut off the bottom of the bottle, stick yellow wrapping paper on its walls (corrugated will pass for natural) and put a candle inside.
8. Dishes
A great find for those who love long hikes! What to do if there are not enough dishes? Or did you just forget it at home? If you have a plastic container with you, the problem is solved. One bottle will make both a plate and a capacious cup! Cut off the bottom - here is a plate for you, cut off up (carefully look at the photo) - a cup with a comfortable handle.
9. Mega creative buttons
Not every girl will like such buttons, but I definitely like them, they have everything - both simplicity and style.
10. Flowerpot with greenery for your pet
A plastic bottle can be a very handy flower pot!
11. Plastic bottle house
Ordinary one and a half liter bottles or “one and a half bottles”, as they are popularly called, can be an excellent material for creating walls! They have already begun to be used all over the world - both cheap and practical, such walls perfectly "breathe" and keep warm. It is enough just to fill the bottle with sand and, pouring the solution, gradually build entire castles!
12. Feeder
Doubly useful - and feed the hungry birds, and get rid of raw materials!
13. Dumbbells
This is what happens when the desire to play sports does not stop even the lack of money to purchase expensive devices.
14. Lampshade
The figured and convex bottom is the most popular part of plastic bottles. For such a curtain, you will have to save up a sufficient amount of them. But the result will please!
15. Scoop
Easy to genius!
And some more photos for inspiration...
many owners household plots create all kinds of products from plastic bottles to decorate the place of their stay. You can create real works of art by spending a minimum of money.
Not only decor items are made of plastic, but even furniture. All you need is a knife, an awl and a little imagination.
In this article, we will analyze in detail how to make crafts from plastic bottles with your own hands.
We decorate the site
What kind of homemade products you will not see on household plots. There are flowers, animals, and trees. You can create beautiful sculptural compositions that will not only decorate the garden, but will also give a great mood.
Let's take a look at a couple of instructions for beginners that make it easy to create crafts from plastic bottles. It will be a palm tree and a pig.
bottle palm tree
To make a palm tree, you need to create a frame. Its length should be equal to the height of the tree.
Bottles of the same size are taken, the bottom is cut off from them and placed on top of each other. Then the leaves are cut out. They are attached to the top of the created structure. When everything is ready, the palm tree is painted green.
Funny pig from bottles
The piglet will look great anywhere in the garden. For its manufacture you will need:
- 5 l bottle;
- four bottle necks for making legs;
- one top of the bottle, which is cut in two to make the ears;
- tail wire;
- two beads for the eyes;
- glue;
- pink paint.
The parts are connected and fixed with glue. Ready product need to be painted. You can take oil or spray paint. To prevent the pig from being blown away by the wind, you need to pour sand into it.
In addition to the decorative function, the design can serve as a flower bed. To do this, the top is cut off, filled with earth and flowers are planted.
Crafts from plastic bottles for the garden can serve as flower beds, borders or paths. To make a path, bottles are inserted into the ground with a neck.
Both whole and cut plastic are used. It is important to fill the bottles with earth so that they do not deform when they are walked on.
The use of bottles in the household
Bottles are used for more than just decoration. From them you can make a scoop, a washbasin or a trap for a pest.
Undoubtedly, everyone will need a container for storing any items. To make it, just cut off the neck.
The washbasin is also very easy to do with your own hands. The bottom of the bottle is cut off, and holes are made through which the rope is threaded. The structure is hung in the right place and water is poured. To wash, just unscrew the cork a little.
To make a trap, you need to cut the container in half. To catch insects, some kind of bait is placed at the bottom. For example, suitable for this sugar syrup with yeast.
It will take hot water in which sugar and yeast dissolve. The cooled liquid must be poured into the trap. Not only flies and wasps, but also mosquitoes will flock to this delicacy.
Note!
Even a child can make a scoop. First you need to outline its shape, and then cut it out.
Can be made from plastic flower pots, greenhouses or containers for seedlings. A description of such crafts from plastic bottles can be found on the Internet at in large numbers, but to create something unique, you need to show your imagination.
It is fashionable to build an automatic watering tool from plastic containers. To do this, cut the bottle, make holes on the sides and put the hose into the neck. With the help of such a device, the plants will be perfectly moistened.
For plants that don't like surface watering, make the next device. The bottom of the plastic container is not completely cut off. A trench is torn to the side of the plant, where stones are laid. The bottle is instilled upside down.
Then poured right amount water for irrigation. You can place bottles upside down, but in this case you will need to make holes in the container.
use plastic container and for plant heating. To do this, the bottles are filled warm water and put them around the plant.

What to do with plastic bottles

2. Planters
We take a bottle and cut a rectangular hole on one side with a clerical knife. Thus, we prepare the required number of bottle planters, stock up on rope, create punctures from the side of the neck and bottom, into which we thread the rope, fasten the rope from below with special clips - crimps (they can be purchased in needlework departments or sewing studios) or tie knots. It remains only in the resulting pots, fill the ground and plant flowers.
3. Stand for jewelry
We cut off the bottoms of several different-sized bottles. We drill a hole in the center of the cut bottoms (the hole must correspond to the thickness of the rod). Then we take a metal rod and string bottoms on it, each of which is fixed with nuts planted on hot melt adhesive. Attention: the base of the stand must be stable, so it is better to take a 2 liter bottom. bottles, which we install in the future composition upside down.

8. Bird feeder.
We continue the topic of “using plastic bottles” ... We take a bottle and two wooden spoons, we make through holes in the bottle corresponding to the thickness of the spoon. We insert spoons into the resulting hole, and from the “scapula” side, a little higher, we create another hole through which bird food will pour out. We fix the self-tapping ring in the bottle cap and thread the rope.

Holders are also very interesting, it is quite possible to store newspapers, magazines or towels in them. We fix with screws or nails on a metal panel - a bottle without a neck.
