Flowers from plastic bottles: a master class with a step-by-step description

Recently, lawns and local areas in the city are decorated with plastic crafts. When the snow melts, and the buds appear on the trees, the flowers from the plastic bottles are already on the lawns. Master class on field, indoor and garden plants from this material, we will consider in the article.

Basic rules when working with plastic bottles

With plastic it is better to work for adults or older children under the supervision of a mentor. The fact is that in this work you have to work with piercing tools (scissors, awl, knife, cutter), aerosol paints, fire, which can lead to inattention to injuries.

The technique of making flowers is simple: draw a template, translate it to a plastic base. Next, cut out the leaves, petals or a ready flower. Punch in the middle of the flower blanks with an awl or soldering iron hole and give them the shape of the petals with the help of fire. First, singe the edges, then from the underside of the petal under the flame create a bend in much the same way as when creating flowers from satin ribbons. Use this procedure for tweezers.

You can make flowers from a plastic bottle from its top. In this case, the hole is pierced in the lid itself, which fixes the position of the stamens and pistils. Leaves are fastened with fire or green insulating tape. The stem can also be wrapped with fused plastic or electrical tape. To make plants look like real, it is desirable to paint them with rain resistant alkyd aerosol or acrylic paints.

Ornaments for wicker fences and trees

From the branches weave a variety of garden fences. In the interweaving of branches, various flowers are attached to the beauty. Trees are also decorated with flowers and other plastic crafts with the help of a rope or wire, without deforming the trunks.

Consider how to make small five-petalled flowers from plastic bottles. The master class is very simple.

• Draw a five-petalled flower on paper.
• Translate this template with a marker on the bottle.
• Cut out the blanks.
• Hands pull the petals aside.
• Flames treat all edges of the flower so that the sections become smooth.
• Then go through the flames under the petals to give them a bend or tilt.
• Try the workpieces together.
• Determine the middle of the colors and pierce the awl at two places.
• Join the workpieces with a wire, on which pass two or three beads.
• From the wrong side, twist the wire and cut off excess ends.
• Now the flowers can be attached to a fence. If you do not want to make holes, then the first blanks can be made from the top of the bottles, where the fastener goes through the lid.

Roses for the street and at home

For the production of roses you need to draw templates of different sizes. The more elements, the more splendid the flowers from the plastic bottle (the photo of roses confirms that a multilayer is created due to the petals of different sizes).

Draw on paper seven patterns of rectangles and squares (these are the elements for a single rose). In their borders, map a flower of four petals, in which the margin has a concave cut. Now transfer the rectangular and square blanks to the bottle. Cut them according to the flower patterns.

With the help of an awl in the middle of the rose make a hole. Now all the flowers sing over the candle, lifting the petals up. Remember that molten plastic can get burned badly, so use tweezers.

Next, cut the sepals from the four petals with three sharp corners. Also, make a hole in the middle and scorch it with fire. For the stem, cut the bottle in a spiral stripe one centimeter wide.

Formation of roses

Thick wire wrap a plastic strip, which is blown over the flame. Leave one edge of the wire for blanks and flowers (you will wear them on a decreasing scale). The middle of the rose can be decorated with a bead and fastened with a wire. Or from the bottle, cut a small circle, cut it into strips, scorch on fire, forming stamens, and attach to the middle of the flower.

Next, from the green bottle, cut out the leaf pattern on the 3-stalked stalk. Bake burn over the candle. Leaflets of leaves under the flame twist and attach the sheet to the base of the stem of the rose, wrapping it with a molten plastic edge. Under this scheme, make yourself a whole bouquet.

Flowers made from plastic bottles, will be more realistic if they are colored with colors. For example, in the leaves you can draw veins or dark parts; In the petals strengthen the color or add an additional shade. To simplify the work, you can wrap the stems with green insulating tape under the color of the leaves.

Exotic flowers from plastic bottles

The master class is a very interesting way of transferring experience, as it shows how to make real flowers from plastic.

• From seven plastic transparent bottles, cut off the top with the lid.
• Add 6 strips, form petals and scorch them above the flame. In this case, first bend each petal. Then sing along the edges and again walk in the middle of the petal.

• Paint the blanks with red aerosol paints.
• As soon as the surface of the petals dries, put a yellow paint on the middle of the flowers.
• In the cover of each flower, make with an awl and scissors a hole of this diameter so that the pestle and the stamens that will be made of beads come through.
• Paint it in green (it will be a sepal).
• For a pistil, string a large bead on the wire, which will be its stigma, twist the ends of the wire. Only then dial 22 pcs. Beads of green color.
• Stamens make similarly from a glass beads and 19 pcs. Blue beads.

For one flower, you need to collect a pistil and 6 stamens in a bunch, wrap them with a thread and insert them into the lid with glue.

Picking flowers in a bouquet

Our flowers are similar to a cleavage, so consider their location on the stem in any photo. Colors from plastic bottles for one plant need to be made seven pieces. While the stamens dry, make 8 large leaves from the green bottle, four medium and small oval leaves.

Each petal is processed over the flame and straighten a little. At the base of the leaf make a hole and attach the wire. Now for the stem, take a meter thick wire or rope and start arranging the flowers in the desired position: one flower on top, then, after 20 centimeters, 3 flowers, and after the same distance 3 flowers that look in different directions, since their stems Bent by 90 degrees.

Then, after 10 centimeters, there is a fastening of leaves for 2-3 pieces, starting and ending with the smallest. That is, the arrangement will be as follows: two small, four rows of large leaves, two rows of medium and two small leaves. Stems are attached with green tape. Such flowers can be placed in the flower bed.

Palms - interesting articles made of plastic bottles

The flower is often made from transparent bottles, but where to put the brown container? And let's make of them a palm tree! We will need brown and green bottles. For a trunk of a palm tree you dig a cable in the earth which should resist against a strong wind. Brown bottles will need to be cut from one edge with 8 pointed teeth. If you leave the bottom, then make a hole in it, if you use the top of the bottle, then unscrew the lid.

On the rope put on the tooth-like brown preforms, while the leaves are spread out by hand or by means of a flame, creating the effect of a tree bark. Once you have reached the desired length of the palm, fasten the leaves that you make from the green container.

For the leaves of the bottles, the bottom is cut and long strips are cut to the top. Covers in this case are not needed. Next, the rope is put on the leaves of the desired length and attached to the trunk of the palm. The more branches you make, the more splendid the tree, but then take a thick rope.

Yellow elegant flowers

Consider how to make exquisite flowers from plastic bottles. The master class is as follows.

• From transparent bottles cut up and down.
• Next on them draw ordinary petals, similar to a rose: narrow at the base and with wide edges.
• Each petal scorches above the candle.

• From a transparent or green bottle, cut out individual leaves without petioles and sepals with 10 teeth, which also fade over the flame.
• Color the workpieces with acrylic paints: the petals are yellow, and the edges are red, the leaves and sepals are green.
• In the leaves, make two holes to be attached to the stem.
• Now the foam ball is cut in half.
• Color it yellow, and the bottom - in green.
• In the middle, make an incision to insert the petal, which with the help of fire twists into the bud.
• The other petals are inserted with the point, if necessary creating one or another slope.
• Once the flower is collected, turn it over.
• Insert it in a shish kebab, painted in green.
• String on it sepals and leaves.

Create a whole bouquet according to this scheme.

Curly flowers

Now let's look at the climbing plants master class. Plastic bottles (flowers - from transparent, leaves - from green) cook according to the standard scheme, cutting off the tops and bottoms. For the leaves, cut the bottle in a spiral 10 cm wide. Draw on it leaves on a long branch, cut and melt over the candle, twisting the stems in some places.

Then make templates of two colors with five petals: large and small. Also scorch with a candle and paint. In the middle of the flowers make holes and wire connect the two patterns, taking for the stamens several beads.

The next step is piercing holes in the leaves in the right places and fastening the harvested flowers, cutting off excess ends and hiding the wire in the foliage. Then, you join all the winding branches into one bundle, fasten them and hang them on a nail or in a flower pot.

As you can see, from plastic bottles you can make a variety of flowers for your garden and home. And naturalness and naturalness can be given to them with the help of paints.
