Peacock - a beautiful bird made of plastic bottles
Making crafts from plastic bottles for the garden is an exciting and very interesting activity. Many of the usual plastic bottles create real masterpieces that will not only decorate the garden, but also amaze with their uniqueness and beauty of your guests and neighbors.
Necessary materials:
1. Metal mesh.
2. Plastic bottles, their quantity depends on the volume of the container.
3. Wire.
4. Foam plastic.
5. Canister.
Instruments:
1. Pliers.
2. Nippers.
Considering that the future peacock should turn out to be rather large, it is necessary to pay close attention to the bird body. He must stand firmly on the ground and with no problems withstand the weight of the whole structure. For a base, cut a circle or a rectangle here, so that someone likes, drill 2 through holes in the central part of the base. It is better to take the wire as thick as possible in isolation. Strip and bend the middle part of the wire so that the canister can be fixed on the bend. Pass the ends of the wire through the holes of the wooden base and firmly fasten it on the reverse side.
Put the canister on its side and visually divide the side closest to you into 3 parts. Carefully cut off 2/3 of the measured side by grabbing the bottom of the canister. The resulting rectangle at the top of the displace and secure with wire or screws. Connect the trunk and skeleton (legs), to give the desired position for the bird.
From the 2-liter bottle cut feathers. On average, 8 long feathers are made from the side of one bottle and 6 more short feathers emerge from its bottom.
From the milk bottles, cut off two small rectangles, roll them up with a scoop, fasten with scotch tape and attach to the body this “peacock” of a peacock. Systematically fasten the feathers to the canister row by row - closing the belly, chest and partly sides. Fastening feathers is made from the inside of the canister through the hole, which turned out during the manufacture of the body.
Using nippers and pliers, we make wings; to do this, it is necessary to bend the grid in the shape of a canister and fix it on the body. On the sides of the net should be slightly bent back, feather wings will be attached here.
From the bottle, cut off the neck and bottom, cut out 8 by 3 cm strips from the middle part, 7 strips are necessary for each wing. To fix the first strip on the grid and give it a feather shape, to fix each subsequent strip, moving a little to the side along the way, to make it look like a wing. Smaller feathers cut from identical plastic plates (5 to 3 cm). Subsequent rows of feathers in a semicircle and secure each separately.
Feathers must be laid tightly to each other.
The neck is made of 2 two-liter bottles. Their middle part is cut lengthwise and turned into a paper bag, each bag should be fastened with scotch tape, then the parts must be joined and attached to the peacock body.
The position of the head and its shape is chosen arbitrarily, i.e. as you like. It is made of foam, instead of the eyes are inserted and glued buttons or beads. In the upper part of the head is cut under the crest.
The crest is cut from thin strips of plastic and inserted into the slot filled with glue.
Feathers on the head are attached with glue. The next stage is painting. Since crafts from plastic bottles for the garden are always unusual and colorful, at this stage you are required to have a full flight of imagination and maximum self-expression.
Peacock decoration - tail. Feathers for him is better to do from green bottles. The middle part of a plastic bottle is cut into strips, each strip is folded in half length and shaped into a fringed pen.
Consistently fasten the tail feathers to the grid, placing them in a semicircle. And our handsome ready!
Every day, people throw out household garbage in the form of plastic bottles, cardboard boxes from under shoes, sweets, disposable dishes, CD disks, and other old things. But from this seemingly unnecessary garbage can make interesting things, developing imagination and motor skills. A person does not risk anything, the thing is still to be disposed of, why not try to give it a second life.
Probably, all people, being of school age, elementary grades, did crafts as homework. If earlier crafts were mainly made from cones, acorns using matches, you can now use plastic, for example, bottles. What can be done from them: various toys, crafts for school, stands, playground design, vases, flowers, decorations.
Having done some small steps with two plastic bottles, fastening them with a transparent tape, you can easily make a boat or a flower. From the bottles you can also build a beautiful playground. Cutting the green bottles into strips, sticking them on a stick, you can simulate a palm tree. The bottleneck is well suited to the role of the pig's muzzle, and the cap is suitable for heels.
Do not throw old newspapers and magazines in the bin, they will be useful for creating interesting and, most importantly, useful things. For example, needlewomen build interesting and beautiful wicker baskets, boxes and other items from old newspapers.
The shell of walnuts, which eats people, also should not be thrown away, it can perfectly fit to create a ladybug, you just need to show a little imagination and pick up the paint.
DIY handicrafts from large and small boxes
In no case should large or small paper boxes be thrown into the trash, because of them it is easy to make a lot of very effective handicrafts: a car, a house in a nursery, a bed for dolls, a casket, children's toy furniture, etc.
Large boxes of refrigerators, stoves are very well suited for the creation of children's toy furniture. Small boxes can come in handy in order to build cots for toys. From the box you can also make a bed for your four-legged friend. For the decor, you can use beautiful candy boxes. For example, you can make an interesting panel by pasting a box with various colors and patterns. The box is mounted on the wall with glue or screws. Also, boxes can be used as bases for shelves for items that are not too heavy in weight.
Also, do not throw out old CDs. From scratched and unwanted discs you can make interesting coasters. Having upholstered a disk from above with soft material, it is possible to make an interesting needle bed for storage of needles, invisible women. Old discs are also useful for making toy slabs, for which a box from purchased items is also useful. Having pasted the paper crumpled into a ball with slices of a cut disc, you get a disco ball. Directing the rays of light on it, you can see an interesting projection on the walls and ceiling.
Hello, friends! In the past three days, stubbornly wandered the Internet in search of ... garbage) Or rather, in search of handicrafts that can be built from it. And, you know, some crafts are so good that it is even difficult to imagine that they are made from what could simply be taken and thrown away.
In this article I want to present you a great overview of the "junk" masterpieces. Crafts from the trash, which are worthy of praise!
Lesson plan:
From empty matchboxes
They say that matches for children is not a toy! And it is right! But from the boxes, you can not only make toys, but even the most real ones didactic games. See for yourself.
Pasting the boxes with a piece of paper and writing letters on them, we get the alphabet!
And inside we hide the figures, whose names begin with different letters of the alphabet. The result is an interesting developmental educational toy. Yes, and multifunctional! After all, a child learning the alphabet can:
- try to build the letters in order;
- to make words from letters;
- place items in the correct boxes.
And this not only develops thinking, but also fine motor skills.
Tired of learning letters? No problems! You can relax! From the colored boxes you can always build something.
Another version of the game with boxes - "Who eats what?"
I just want to bravely tell the author for such an idea. Here, on the outer part of the boxes, images of animals are pasted, and inside there are different habitats. Boxes understand. Well, then you need to properly collect them. We develop horizons? But how! Yes, and we train the memory.
I think many mummies, when they were still girls and had a couple - three small pupsies, had furniture made from matchboxes. I had! I am sure that modern girls will like to do it themselves and play with such interesting doll furniture.
After all, there are so many shelves, so many lockers. And there you can hide so much.
You in kindergarten didn't you ask to make a mathematical case by chance? We were not asked, but from my friends of kindergarten parents I heard about such a thing. And it is made again from matchboxes. And it looks like this.
This pencil case helps kids learn geometric figures, score, colors.
If there is a needlewoman in the house, then she will surely be pleased with such an organizer for all sorts of different handmade things.
And after all in its manufacturing there is nothing difficult. The main thing to include fantasy!
And you can also make puzzles from boxes.
Just take one beautiful picture, cut it into rectangles, stick the rectangles on match houses and puzzles are ready!
From sleeves from toilet paper
From matchboxes go to another popular material for the manufacture of handicrafts. Allow me to imagine the sleeves from the rolls of toilet paper, which give practically unlimited possibilities to the young masters.
Let's start with a cool organizer for stationery.
This is such a caterpillar. I think that if it settles on the desktop of a first-grader, then it will not be boring for sure) The body of the caterpillar is made of sleeves. They are covered with corrugated cardboard and look very much nothing. Do you agree? It will not be a shame to attribute such an article to the school.
In continuation of our review - a sorter game for children.
10 color plugs. They have 10 digits. And different little things, buttons, some figures, large beads in plosechkah. The game will help to deal with the colors, to get acquainted with the account.
It is not strange, but the sleeves and pictures are written! They just need to be cut, and then from the pieces to make different flowers, leaves, circles. And all this stick in any, beautiful order.
It turns out very gently and beautifully.
If you take a little bit of the top of the sleeve, you get ears. And then the little animals with ears. Variety. And very beautiful.
Here you have the heroes of various games.
And you can try to make here such animals.
It's a little more difficult, but the result is worth the effort.
It is interesting to look at these stands for pencils and markers.
And the idea is simple. Need to take the thread and gently wrap them sleeve. Then build a decoration of fabric or felt. And that's it! The original and pleasant to the touch keepers of colored pencils.
From the trays of eggs
We too often throw out trays in which eggs are sold, without even thinking that they can make very nice things.
For example, here are such charming caterpillars.
Someday they will definitely become butterflies, but in the meantime they stand, look, what else to chew)
Or such chickens. Surely laying hens! Just a couple of simple touches and the poultry yard is ready!
And it is possible and original! Take a cardboard tray, cut it into separate cells, paint them in different colors, strung on threads, and then tie these threads to a stick.
That's ready for an interesting bright suspension, which will please the eye and cheer up)
And still from trays very beautiful flowers turn out. You can make flowers very simple, such as daisies, but it can be more complicated, for example, roses. There are a lot of options.
Well, you can decorate with such flowers anything you like. For example, a frame for a photo or a frame for a mirror.
From plastic trays, you can also make beautiful flowers. But I think it is a little harder than cardboard.
Well, now not entirely out of the craft hack, but rather from what is in the tray. Of eggs. Rather from an empty eggshell. First you need to carefully remove the egg from the shell, and leave it almost intact, removing only the upper part. Then fill the shell with earth and plant the seeds of some fast-growing grass. Wait and water! And after some time to get acquainted with such funny grass.
Only in order that they could wink and smile at you, you will need to draw them eyes and mouths)
From empty boxes of juice or milk
Do you like juice? Do you drink milk? And where are the boxes? Surely throwing away, but in vain! Indeed, in the soul of each box - not just a box, but a real man! With his little face and with his character. Do not believe? See for yourself!
From large empty boxes you can make vehicles.
And land.
And air.
And even waterfowl.
Well, for fans of something to grow here is offered such an option.
Vegetable garden in the boxes. A very convenient way to grow different seedlings. And neatly, and on special trays do not need to spend money.
And now about the serious. How to make sure that there is always order on the table? Of course, install an organizer! You can, of course, buy it. But it is much more interesting to make it with your own hands all of the same irreplaceable boxes. And decorate to your liking.
From used disposable tableware
Well, now go to the crafts of disposable tableware. Let's start with plastic spoons. What would be such an interesting thing to do? Maybe flowers, and at the same time and ladybirds?
Well, just like living ones)
And a couple of representatives of the kingdom of insects, only bigger size.
These beetles are made from paper plates. In my opinion, they are just charming!
And what about such a gorgeous hat?
It is made of two plastic plates. One deep and one flat. The middle plate is cut out in a flat plate and a deep one is glued to it. Do not forget to paint your hat in your favorite color and decorate. Here, by the way, would come flowers from egg trays, which were discussed a little earlier.
If you like to arrange home theater performances, then the plastic plates are ready to help you with the actors. You can make them attractive faces of different animals, and then stick a small stick to each one. And the artists of the puppet theater are ready.
And if you cut eyes in the faces, you get masks. And a cheerful children's masquerade is guaranteed. Then you will look at the photo and remember how great it was!
And now about the beautiful. See what a miracle.
This is a fan made of plastic forks. Forks are attached to the old disc unnecessary. Decorated fan ribbons, flowers and lace.
A real work of art that can decorate any interior!
And in this photo you see a fan of large and small spoons.
Also very beautiful.
I also advise you to pay attention to the article about and from them.
That's all for today! I hope you liked the review, and you already wanted to create something with your own hands!
Yours, Evgenia Klimkovich.
