Swan flowerpot from bottles
Crafts based on plastic bottles differ in different categories of complexity. A step-by-step guide will help even a novice craftsman cope with the task of decorating a swan. The main thing is to be patient. One 5-liter bottle and a lot of white plastic containers with a volume of 1 liter are the main materials for an effective craft. You will also need:
metal rod for the swan's neck;
fishing line, tape and thin wire for latvia mobile database individual parts;
metal mesh that serves as the base of the wings.
Preparation of individual parts
The production of the swan is preceded by a preparatory stage. The work begins with cleaning the plastic bottles from the remains of labels and glue. On the clean container, markings are made according to the photo. The upper line is drawn below the neck by 2 cm, the lower line is above the corrugated part of the plastic bottle by 1 cm. Between them there is a perpendicular line. The cut is made as evenly as possible.
For the neck, the parts from the plastic bottles with a neck are cut into 6 parts, the cylindrical elements are divided into 8 fragments.
Attention! All corners on the blanks are rounded, 3 paired holes are formed at the base of the petals.
the neck with the cork is removed;
an incision is made along the seam on the cone-shaped section;
all other cut lines are spaced at 0.5 cm intervals;
the ends of the clothespin, which will play the role of the swan's beak, are melted over a fire;
An awl is used to pierce holes in them, and holes are formed in a plastic bottle at a similar distance.
A neat swan head can be made from a 0.5 l plastic bottle as follows:
