Water lily from plastic bottles
She will become a decoration of the pool, room, she will find a place in the house next to real flowers. To craft a water lily, prepare:
- 3 plastic milk bottles or similar white;
- 1 yellow bottle with a volume of 0.5-1 liter;
- one 5 liter canister;
- scissors;
- glue for plastic;
- green acrylic paint.
Let's make 2 blanks from a yellow bottle. The first is the future petals of the flower, the second is the stamens. Cut the neck of the yellow container by the shoulders. As shown in the photo, you need to cut out the petals for the flower. To make them round, hold just a little over the fire.
Take the remaining fragment of the bottle, measure from the cut part downwards 5 cm, cut it off. The resulting ring must be notched with scissors to get such a fringe. Now bring it to the flame of a candle or burner, and you will see how these small "antennae" wrap up and turn into openwork stamens. Now glue the stamens to the inner yellow flower with glue.
It was the turn of the white plastic bottles. From each you need to cut one blank so that they are the same. To do this, cut off the pegs, they are not needed. Use the part about 10 cm below the necks. Decorate it in the form of petals. Do this with three bottles, and then put all these 3 white pieces in turn on the stamen flower detail.
You can cut the white petals separately and then glue them onto the stamen blank, but this will take longer than using one-piece pieces. Now from the bottom of a plastic canister or large bottle, cut out a lily leaf, making a hole in it to insert the neck of the yellow flower. Paint the leaf with green paint. Let it dry, attach a lily blank to it. This is how you need to make flowers from plastic bottles.
The next piece is no less charming. The master class will tell you how to make roses from plastic bottles.
DIY bottle flowers
For this job you will need:
- paper;
- plastic bottles of blue, red, green;
- scissors;
- awl;
- candle;
- thick wire;
- tweezers.
How a rose is made, the master class will tell and show. First, you need to make 7 stencils from paper. They are the same shape but different sizes. Attach them to a canvas from a plastic bottle, outline, cut along the contour. Now, in the middle of each part, you need to make a small hole with an awl.
In order for the edges of the blanks to acquire the desired relief, they must be brought in turn to the candle flame. Use tweezers to avoid scalding your fingers. It is necessary to make a sepal rim. Also draw and cut it out on the stencil first. To do this, enlarge the photo on your computer, redraw it onto paper. Now attach the stencil to the green bottle canvas, outline and cut out. Then also make a hole in the middle with an awl and lightly burn the edges of the part over the flame.
Take the next green bottle, cut off the bottom of it, and starting from here, cut a 1 cm wide spiral tape. At the next stage of work, wrap it around the wire of the required length, while heating it over the candle. Then the plastic tape will stick well to the metal bar.
Leave a piece of wire 2 cm high free. Start collecting by stringing a flower from a plastic bottle onto it. First put on the sepal corolla, then the large rose detail, so collect the whole flower, the smallest detail will be on top. Bend the wire to hold the workpieces tightly.
Now you need to redraw the stencil for the leaves from the computer. Attach it and cut a piece out of a plastic bottle. Bring candles or lighters to the flame, singe the tips of the leaves, twisting the petiole in a spiral.
Hold the lower end of the stem over the candle, and then wrap it around the stem of the flower. The craft is ready.

For the next steps of work, you will need a soldering iron. With the help of it, turn the edges of these two blanks into serrated, and inside make symmetrical holes, follow the pattern as you see fit or, focusing on the sample presented.
Once you cut up and down the bottom of the plastic bottle, you are left with the center piece. He needs to give it the shape of a rhombus, and then also use a soldering iron to make the edges serrated.

Caskets from plastic bottles
You can finish the topic with a story about how small chests are made for all sorts of little things and decorated with flowers. You guessed it, the box is also made from plastic bottles.
First you need to make the box itself for jewelry or other small things. If you liked the product in the first photo, then you will need 2 large plastic bottles of any color.
The bottom is cut from the first slightly higher than from the second. The second blank will become the lid. You need to make even holes around the edges of these parts. To do this, you can use a soldering iron, awl or hole punch. Then take a needle with a large eye and thread the colored thread into it.
Sew along the edge of the first piece first and then the second piece with a overlock stitch. Then these parts of the parts will not be sharp.
The next box is made of 5 liter plastic bottles. From them you need to cut 6 identical large rectangles. Four of them will be the side pieces, the fifth will be the bottom, and the sixth will be the lid. You also need to cut 2 long stripes and 2 shorter ones. Use decorative tape or thread to sew them to the lid of the bottle box.

Having made the required number of parts, connect them together by gluing. You can do it differently, then make 2 punctures in the center of each workpiece with an awl, and sew the parts together with a thread. So that the thread is not visible from above, at the same time sew on a decorative button or attach a small plastic flower.
Now glue the flower to the box, decorating it only on the top or top and sides.
