We were inspired to create the table by the ideas of avant-garde designer Jinhong Lin, who shocked the public with his chair made of plastic. We need a square base, in which small holes will be made. The size of the hole should be such that the neck of the bottle is inserted into it. This frame can be made of plywood or other available material. Now we insert bottles into the holes, they should be all the same.

To prevent the necks from "dangling", you can lay a foam insulation material. Having inserted all the bottles, we wrap the structure with adhesive tape - for strength. The top will serve as a table top, if you are not very comfortable because of the uneven bottoms of the bottles, you can put a board specially cut to fit the table. If there is a desire, then the resulting table can be decorated: paint the bottles themselves or the base, put an original tablecloth on top. By the way, the banquets are easy to make using the same technology.

Armchair made of plastic bottles can become an irreplaceable piece of furniture in the country or even on the balcony. As for the appearance, its inaccuracy can be compensated for by beautiful upholstery or a light cover. The main advantages of such a chair are lightness and low cost (unnecessary bottles can be collected, and material for a cover or upholstery can be found in any home). How to make such a piece of furniture? Everything is very simple.

The most important thing is to act strictly according to the scheme and carefully fix the bottles.

We warn you right away that in order to make a chair, you will need a lot of bottles, about 90 for a large chair.

Necessary for work

However, its size can be reduced. In order for the process to move faster and easier, we recommend stocking up on large bottles - two or one and a half liters.

In order to assemble such a chair, you should carefully study the assembly diagram.

Diagram of the manufacture of blocks for the chair

In addition, you should stock up on stretch wrap and wide tape.

Making blocks for the chair

After you figure out the scheme, we will start making modules from plastic bottles with our own hands, which, after assembly, will turn into a chair. To begin with, we cut several bottles in diameter into two equal parts.

Cut off the neck of the bottle Connect the cut off part with the whole bottle Glue the resulting joint with tape

The upper part is turned over and inserted into the lower one, and a whole bottle is inserted into the finished structure, covered with the lower part of another container. Ultimately, a kind of plastic "logs" should turn out.

If you have extra bottles, you can additionally make an ottoman, stool or mini-table from them.

We collect the chair

A chair from plastic bottles can be made by hand according to step by step diagram... After the blocks are finished, you can start assembling them.

We connect the resulting elements with tape Block of six elements

The shape of the product can be completely different, it all depends on your imagination. In order to make the seat, the largest blocks are tightly wrapped with tape. Each block must have 4 structures. On average, you will need four blocks. Thus, the seat will be assembled from 16 plastic structures combined into 4 blocks. We connect the finished blocks with adhesive tape, forming the intended seat.

For the base of the chair, 4 such blocks are required We will glue blocks of two elements to it, which will become armrests

Now let's move on to the back and sides of the product. They will be made of single modules, the height of which reaches three or even five bottles.

On the next layer, do the same. We also add blocks for the armrests

In order to "increase" the length of the structure, it is necessary to cut off the bottom from the topmost bottle, install it inside - as we did with the necks when creating the blocks for seating. Then we take another bottle and put it upside down.

Starting from the fourth-fifth level, we raise only the armrests and the back We carefully attach each block

The stretch wrap will be needed to wrap it around the bases, which may come loose during the weight test. But if you can't find stretch wrap, you can get by with scotch tape.

The most important thing is to firmly wrap the base blocks made.

The amazing property of plastic bottles is that they endlessly find new uses. From them you can make not only all sorts of funny trinkets, if you have enough source material, then you can try to create something more serious. Furniture made from used plastic containers will come in handy on the playground where children play, and in the garage or shed. It is possible to take it with you when you go to a picnic, and such furniture will not become a heavy burden for you, because it is easy to carry. Recently, it has become fashionable and popular to use this kind of furniture for outdoor presentations, as well as for outdoor events of a various nature. Manufacturing workshop beautiful furniture from the most ordinary plastic bottles, which are no longer needed, with our own hands - for clarity, we will consider some examples, talking about how this can be done.

Workshop on creating a breakfast table in nature from bottles

Such convenient fixture can be built quickly and easily. And from the materials you need only a plastic tray and any four plastic containers. If the bottles are thin and long, then the product may well be used as a coffee table.

The idea itself is very simple:

  • It is necessary to glue the bottles to the surface of the tray with the bottoms. These will be the legs of the table, and the tray itself will be the surface of the table.
  • To make the product look more attractive and have a nice look, bottles can be covered with acrylic paints or wrapped with thin and strong twine or jute twine.
  • The table top can be decorated by gluing various objects to it. This technique is very popular and is called decoupage. It is necessary to use old photographs and postcards, unnecessary playing cards as objects. Pieces of cloth are also fine. For gluing, it is possible to use both ordinary glue and PVA glue. The tabletop can be laid out with flat small pebbles.

The fact that it will look just amazing, you can see in the photo.

If you get a taste, then build a bigger table.

Here you will have to act in approximately the same way. It is only necessary to select a more durable material as a table surface. A piece of plywood or, better yet, a used countertop from an old table is fine.

More bottles are needed to make the table strong.

You need to act like this:

  • Give the surfaces the intended shape. The table can be made both rectangular and square. If there is a desire, even round.
  • Make the necessary markings on the back of the surface. In these places, use self-tapping screws to connect the bottles with caps to the back surface of the countertop.
  • To make the legs longer and stronger, you can glue the second row of bottles to the first row, so that the bottoms of the first row join the bottoms of the second. Use special glue for plastic or universal glue as glue.
  • If desired, containers can be painted or dyed.

After you are made of plastic simple types furniture. You can try to do something more complicated. Using the example of making a chair, it will be convenient to show how to fasten bottles, and this will come in handy for creating the most ambitious things. Source material "logs" (modules) made of four plastic containers will serve.

Stages of work:

  • After cutting the bottle in half, turn the top over and insert into the bottom.
  • The whole bottle should be inserted into this construction. Cutting into another bottle, put the lower one on top.
  • To fasten the module, it is wrapped with transparent tape.
  • Also with the help of scotch tape (you can take cling film) we connect a large module.
  • Building up the modules in this way, we manufacture the details of the chair. Sew the chair cover from the selected fabric.
  • Put a cover on the product, placing a soft material under the seat (foam rubber or synthetic winterizer).

How to create a plastic "masterpiece"?

In the right hands, plastic bottles find a second life, becoming useful. And to build something really interesting, you need to acquire the following:

  • an interesting idea;
  • a ready-made sample of what was conceived;
  • stock up on the right amount of "building material";
  • to find step by step instructions.

For a novice craftsman, it is best to start with something simple, such as creating a shelf from plastic bottles. They will be very useful in the country and even at home. They are attached to the wall, take up a minimum of space, while perfectly serving as a stand for various items.

Workflow for creating a PET shelf:

  • the shape of the shelf, height and width is selected;
  • necks are removed from bottles; they will not be needed to create this product;
  • the finished structure is covered with acrylic paint for beauty;

  • Milk containers with a wide mouth - 4 pieces.
  • Plastic bottles that are cut into thin strips for making tail and mane. You can use yarn instead, if you like, but this will not be practical.
  • Glue, scissors, wire, scotch tape, self-tapping screws, small wood planks, acrylic paint.

Please note that to give the donkey stability, you can fill the legs with sand, and then screw them to the fixed caps.

The final touch is the decoration of the figure. It should be painted with acrylic paint, which is intended for outdoor use.

What can be made from a regular plastic bottle

Products from plastic bottles, which received a "second chance", long ago "won" the hearts of ecologists and ordinary inhabitants of the Earth. Very often, people by any means try to involve the public in the environmental problem of recycling plastic waste, volunteers now and then carry out actions to clean up natural areas and parks - explaining to people that the right attitude to dishes made of this material will help keep our world cleaner. Many talented designers have made a name for themselves creating art objects from plastic.

How you can use plastic bottles to get the whole world talking about you

Nebraska resident Garth Britsman succeeded. In his hometown of Lincoln, he created a carport for his car from one and a half thousand used plastic bottles, on the bottom of which he poured specially painted water of blue, yellow and green flowers, in such a way that the canvas resembles a floral carpet. The process of creating the "kinetic ceiling" took over 200 hours of work. The structure reminds of itself every time it rains or winds blows - a kind of noise and hum can be heard throughout the district. Nevertheless, the find has already entered the top 50 of the most unusual structures in the world and brought great fame to its author.

How many useful things can you make from a regular plastic bottle? It is enough to drive this query into the search bar on the Internet. Nobody will give the exact figure. Tens and hundreds of Russians have long been using plastic containers to decorate the garden, store little things, and create unusual lamps and furniture. Needlewomen willingly share instructions on how to turn transparent plastic into toys, spectacular jewelry, and tell you how to create flowers from plastic bottles with your own hands.

For many housewives, not only beauty and decor, but also functionality come to the fore. DIY homemade plastic bottles can replace dozens of household items.

Here are just a few original ideas useful household items from plastic bottles.

Crafts from plastic bottle caps

Plastic bottle caps are a versatile material for decoration. Some people use caps to create panels and paintings. It all depends on the imagination of the person and his creative abilities.


There are many options for crafts from corks from plastic bottles. This material is often used for interior decoration and garden paths... However, it will take a long time to collect them. Think in advance what color the product is planned, and ask your friends to help you.

Such painstaking work requires a lot of endurance. If a person does not have such a quality as perseverance, or he does not like monotonous work, this decor option is not for him.

Laying paths in the country and decorating flower beds. Usually plastic caps are collected to decorate paths or rugs in the country. At the house, most often, corks are laid out in a special mosaic on a not yet solidified cement base, and if it is necessary to decorate a flower bed or approaches to it, the caps are placed directly on the ground. This is done in order not to disturb the access of oxygen to the soil.


Home wall decor and individual elements... Such design country house or manor houses will never be left without the attention of guests. Spectacular photographs against the background of the "house-canvas" will delight households from generation to generation.


In order for such an artistic panel to serve as long as possible, an investigator is required to certain rules:

  1. The covers must be attached upside down. Otherwise, such a panel will quickly clog up and lose its color.
  2. It is better to fasten the caps not one after another with glue (although this option is also possible), but with the help of thin and long nails either on a plywood base or on a tree. In this case, decorating a private house from a bar will be much easier than from a brick.
  3. In advance, it is necessary to draw a drawing scheme (as for embroidery) and determine the amount of material and color.

Cork paintings are created using the same technology.

Plastic caps are often used as decorative curtains.

And plugs glued together can easily turn into a hot stand.

The only option when bottle corks are allowed to be fastened “behind the bottom” is when creating massage mats.

And here is how traffic jams can be used as a developmental aid. The kid needs to correctly place colors in certain areas.

Children are very fond of making crafts from corks from plastic bottles themselves - from the simplest to quite time-consuming models. This is understandable, because corks are universal construction material, you can use the elements separately, for example, lay out a mosaic or assemble a real robot or cobra.


In this case, the main thing is to support the child's desire for creativity and not leave him alone with dangerous tools. The awl or glue must be removed immediately away from children. It is better to “perforate” the caps in advance, and use a safe fishing line to “assemble” the product.

Useful things from plastic bottles with your own hands

Plastic bottles as an element of decor and home decoration

At first, which is logical, they themselves fell in love with the hostesses as vases and containers for storage and flowers. A little later, the craftswomen drew attention to the fact that plastic behaves very interestingly when heated. Details become voluminous, the edges are not scratched. This prompted the idea that with the proper skill and dexterity, this is an excellent material for creating unique bouquets.

Flowers from plastic bottles


See for yourself - plastic in the hands of such a "florist" turns into a real work of art.

All you need is to light a candle and lightly burn the petals over the fire.

Plastic under the influence of high temperature takes on unique forms. Plastic glue is used to join the petals. And then - already the work of fantasy.

Lamps and chandeliers from plastic bottles

On the Internet, you can find a lot of options on how to make unusual floor lamps from plastic bottles. The main task here is to ensure that the designer "little thing" does not melt under the influence high temperatures... Many people advise using "cold lamps" or LEDs. To make the light appear brighter, you can use garlands.

So, let's imagine two versions of the lamp - for a bedroom and an office.


In the first case, we need very sharp nail scissors, an awl, a candle or a soldering iron, fishing line and a lot of free time. In the second - thin scissors and solid plastic.

For the first option, it is better to take plastic bottles of green, beige, orange and brown tones in order to bring the foliage as close as possible to natural. First, we make a wire frame on which it is already reinforced lED Strip Light or a garland. All we need is to cut out as many blank leaves as possible. After that, treat them with fire to give them a slightly convex shape, as shown in the figure. We pierce the finished leaves with a heated awl or a thick needle and connect with a fishing line, fix on the frame. Diligence and patience - and our lamp is ready.

The second option is simpler. The plafond itself is already ready, it remains only to choose desired color, make a hole for the wire, carefully cut the tapes, and you can turn on.

Vases and coasters

The first thing that comes to mind when we say "craft from a plastic bottle" is, of course, storage containers. There can be thousands of options.

The containers can be different sizes and molds, shampoos, cleaning products and even coolants are suitable.

The plastic base can be used as the main element.


And as a basis for a fabric product.

There may be several options. As with additional elements, for example, lightning, and without them.

Curtains from plastic bottles

Air curtains. Such a description is given to her creation by one of the craftswomen. She complained to her subscribers that her room was not heated enough in the summer. And she got an idea to make it not easy spectacular curtainsbut also a summer heater. During the day, plastic absorbs all the heat and gradually transfers it into the room. In addition, such a curtain perfectly protects from prying eyes.

The most important thing is to collect the required number of "bottoms". Can be used different colours and sizes. And add leaves as an additional volume. It all depends on the desire of the needlewoman. Most importantly, these curtains do not need to be washed. You just need to rinse them in warm water. Flowers are perfect round shape and in the canvas they resemble lace. They are connected using ordinary rings or paper clips.

Furniture from plastic bottles

This is a separate subject of conversation. On the Internet, you can find entire rooms decorated in the "bottle style". It's amazing how meticulous the creators of eco-projects are in every detail.


Sofas, tables, chairs and ottomans

There are sofas, beds, armchairs and even tables assembled from seemingly unnecessary containers.

In terms of its properties, a sofa made of a plastic base is in no way inferior to an ordinary one; it is much more useful to sleep on it than on a soft bed. Such sofas are a good way out for a country house. It can be disassembled and reassembled if necessary.

To make furniture, you need to prepare the following tools and materials:

  1. A large number of plastic bottles.
  2. Thick cardboard for creating "rows".
  3. Foam rubber.
  4. Cloth or felt.
  5. Scotch.

The main thing is to understand that, although such material is available and convenient, it is extremely dangerous. When heated, it melts and releases bad smellwhich can be toxic. Although the plastic itself does not burn, it can "scald" the host when heated.

Plastic bottle shelves and cabinets

Very often, plastic bottles and containers help out their owners in the garage or in the country. Parts or tools are occasionally lost or mixed. Finding what is urgently needed is beyond the power. In this case, you can build such boxes with your own hands. Such crafts from plastic bottles on video are available on social networks, just type the phrase "do-it-yourself box of plastic bottles."

They will not take time to manufacture, however, they will serve conscientiously for many years.

Sometimes plastic bottles are used to store shoes or small items.


Such shelves will not take up much space, however, they will save a lot of time searching for the right pair of shoes.

Jewelry from plastic bottles

Fashionistas should say a lot to plastic. Not every lady will understand that such masterpieces are made from recycled materials.

Earrings and necklaces outwardly do not present themselves as slightly "second-hand" goods. On the contrary, such products are in unprecedented demand among fashionistas.

The technology for making such necklaces and earrings is similar to the one we already talked about above - the plastic, cut in the desired shape, is simply melted over an open fire. Here critical importance have a "blank" shape and time thermal heating... In this case, the main thing is not to overexpose. You can decorate the art object with beads and rhinestones, fasten it with fishing line or thin wire. In any case, the author is guaranteed an exclusive model.

Bracelets can be made according to the same principle, however, some ladies prefer to "frame" plastic in the old fashioned way.

Most often, such products are within the power of novice craftswomen. Leather, fabrics, felt, ribbons and beads are used. The advantage of such a product is that it will never lose its shape.

Crafts from plastic bottles in the country

Huge scope, literally and figuratively, for the use of plastic bottles opens up in the country. Here mountains of unnecessary containers have been "stored" for years, and it is here that it is easier to use it.

The fact that plastic bottles are widely used in construction is not surprising. In the countries of South Africa, they are used as the main building material. After all, humanitarian aid, including water, is brought here exclusively in plastic bottles, so such houses are accessible even for the poorest.

The main condition is to create strong walls from the bottles using wet sand. The water inside the closed bottles does not evaporate, and the walls receive optimal strength and temperature.

Plastic bottles for watering

According to this principle, Russian summer residents create beds and decorative wells for seedlings in their garden. Sometimes a plastic bottle is dug in vertically to provide moisture to the plant when watering is not possible. The bottle is pre-pierced in several places so that the roots of the plant can reach the water.

Tanks from under water are used as budget "sprinklers". The hose is directly connected to the bottle, and the pressurized jet begins to water a sufficiently large distance.

Homemade crafts from plastic bottles for children

Often plastic container becomes irreplaceable materials for the manufacture of the craft that was needed yesterday. It's no secret that grandiose craft fairs in kindergartens and schools are an opportunity not so much to show a child's work as to amuse their pride.

The main thing for a child is the development of imagination. And what develops it is, of course, role-playing game. The child will begin to take on social roles more willingly when he feels that he too can be the “master” in the house. Let it be quite small.

Creating such a house from plastic bottles with your own hands will not take much time, but will save you - in any case, a certain amount of personal time is provided for parents. Especially if, in addition to the house, the child also has doll furniture. Here again comes a plastic bottle to the rescue.

Cars and airplanes

It doesn't matter if your kid doesn't really like to play with cars. Most likely, the child is accustomed to the same type of model. Not always the necessary soldier will enter into the "purchased cars", and more than one will enter into such models.


Artillery also arrived in time for air support. Ambulance on the wings just in time! The game gets a new plot.

It's not scary to leave such a toy in the sandbox. All you have to do is remember to wash the bottle of chemicals before handing it to your child. You can decorate such a car with adhesive tape or indelible markers.

Shoes and skis from plastic bottles

Plastic shoes are not bullied. Some eco-friendly designers use bottles every now and then to create fashion items. Clothes and hats have long been the subject of trendy fashion designers.

Now the next step is shoes.

The only thing that holds the couturier back is the risks associated with models' insurance. After all, plastic is a rather slippery thing. Literally. However, Russian craftsmen try such peaks as well. Here, for example, slates for a bath. Quite nothing.

And this is a shoe - for going out…. In the forest. Such plastic ugg boots will easily overcome any quagmire due to their volume. Foresters often use these shoes in winter.

Do-it-yourself skis made from plastic bottles can be a good alternative for hunting a predator, because the traces left in this way will not give out the presence of a person to the animal by smell.
