The stem and the cut petals are connected by means of a thin wire. If desired, it is also covered in red. Then the lily is made directly from a plastic bottle. There are two ways. In the first case, a white milk container is taken, a flower is cut from its upper part. A hole is made in the center, where the stem is subsequently installed. Then a thick coat of paint is applied to it. The advantage of this method is that it is very simple, but the article itself is not so effective. Therefore, most masters do in a different way. Take 2 containers of white and yellow. From the first, petals are cut. If you want to give them a special shape, then this is used matches or a lighter. From the second, the shavings are made and fixed with glue to the stem. Then, the time necessary for it to dry out and achieve the required strength is maintained. Around the central part of the bud we begin to glue Petals. For greater reliability, they can be wrapped around the entire perimeter with a thin strip of tape or white insulating tape. At this, the production of lilies from plastic bottles is over.

It is completely covered with blue paint, which is allowed to dry well. Then large green spots are made - these are the leaves of the lilies on the surface of the water. Then the flower itself is made according to the previously stated method (for any of them). While the paint is not completely dried, the produced bud is installed on the substrate. When all this becomes a single whole, a water lily made of plastic bottles is ready to decorate a small pond in the yard of your house.
