Plastic bottles from spray paint cans are best painted over.

Bright crafts made from plastic bottles are not only decoration. They help to brighten up leisure in the country, save the family budget, unite the whole family for creative work and reduce the amount of garbage.

Hello dear gardeners! The topic of today's material is interesting to everyone and is always relevant. She is probably familiar to many, but still I hope to surprise you.

Today everything is sold in plastic bottles: water, soft drinks, milk ... Of all the garbage that we collect, the most voluminous bottles are: you put one in the trash bin - and that's it: count half a bucket busy. And what is it like in the country! In many suburban villages, there are simply no garbage containers. There is only one way out: either take all this "good" to the city, to the nearest container, or somehow use something that cannot be recycled in summer cottages.

A logical question: how plastic bottles can be used on the farmto be useful, convenient and beautiful? Let's talk about this.

By the way, information sheet: plastic decomposes in water from 100 to 500 years (according to various sources and depending on the type of plastic).

We have few factories that recycle waste, so people themselves find interesting applications for simple and seemingly completely unnecessary things.

Plastic bottles in garden decor

If you wish, you can create such beauty - the neighbors will be envious! Do you want to decorate your garden at a low cost? See if your dacha has empty plastic bottles.

Beautiful neat flower beds

Plastic bottles can be used to protect flower beds. The benefits here are obvious: flower beds and beds are not washed out by downpours, always look neat and pleasing to the eye. In my opinion, it looks great ... How to make such a flower bed?

Of course, you will need a lot of bottles (preferably the same size). We fill them with sand, close them and begin to build a "palisade". The bottles will have to be dug a little into the ground to give them stability. After the flowerbed is fenced, paint the resulting border in any color. In principle, you can do this in advance - as you wish. But it seems to me that it is more convenient to paint a ready-made fence than each bottle separately. And containers made of dark plastic can be left as they are, it also looks nice. For an example of execution and opinions of summer residents on this method of using bottles, see the materials:

Flowers, palms, butterflies and other "tropics"

The beauty is indescribable. Turn on your imagination, wake up your imagination and create all kinds of flowers in your garden that will never fade or rot)).

To make it clearer how to make something from bottles (for example, flowers), let's look at an example.

What you may need:

plastic bottles of different colors;
scissors, awl, thick threads;
pVA glue and "Master";
acrylic paints;
candle;
wire;
beads, beads - for decoration.

With the rest, everything is more or less clear, but why a candle? It's simple. We cut off the necks of the bottles. We cut each neck not to the end lengthwise, make 6 petals. Give the petals a rounded shape. We light a candle and scorch each petal to melt a little. First, along the edges, so that they are beautiful and even, and then at the base of the petals, bending them at the same time, giving shape. Plastic forms well when heated.

The stem is best made of thick wire. Stamens are made of thin wire on which you can string beads. It remains only to collect the whole thing, fastening it with glue, if necessary using an awl and wire. Just look what beauty the result is!

Palm trees, bells, butterflies and so on are also easy to make. For example, the trunk of a palm tree is easy to build from brown plastic bottles, cutting off the bottom of each and stringing the bottles one on top of the other. Imagine, and everything will work out! Want more interesting ideas? Then take a look at the article:

Cute animals for the garden

From bottles they just do not make. The simplest thing is perhaps this. All you need is to cut and bend the ears, attach a tail and paint beautifully. However, there are crafts and very complicated ones. For example, animals from fairy tales. I will not describe their production step by step, otherwise the article will turn out to be of galactic proportions. I'd rather just show the video from the slides. From the photo, in principle, you can see what and how to do, it's not difficult to figure it out.

How do you like these animals? Looks great in my opinion! And if you involve children in the process, they will be delighted!

The tools used are the same as listed above. Paints are not necessarily acrylic. But they dry faster, this is a plus. And they hardly smell. True, they are also different.

Air curtains for garden

These crafts captivated me precisely with their airiness and singularity. I specially collect bottles and make such a curtain in my yard! I think you can use bottles different sizes.

Mostly the bottoms will come in handy, but you can also cut the leaves! From a distance it is not very clear what these transparent flowers are hanging on, but the more interesting the idea. We look ...

As you can see, you can fasten the flowers with threads, you can glue them to the base (for example, plastic wrap). I think this option is perfect for a gazebo. And it will be light, and the rain will not penetrate. There are a lot of options for curtains from bottles. But I still liked the first one better, didn't you?

Lamps and chandeliers for the garden

Actually, why not? Buying a lamp in the garden is not profitable, just hanging a light bulb is ugly. Lamp from plastic bottles - great lighting option garden plot.

It's not a shame to hang such chandeliers in the house.

The main rule: do not allow plastic parts to come into contact with the light bulb, otherwise they may melt. True, you can use an energy-saving lamp, it heats up less - up to +50 ... + 60 ° C.

Girls! If you don't know how to attach the light bulb itself, leave this business to husbands, brothers or fathers ... From you - creative, from them - lighting element \u003d)))

Garden path from bottles

I recently wrote about garden paths in an article. But there was nothing about bottles, only about their caps. It turns out that from the bottoms, a good path is obtained, along which it is pleasant to walk barefoot. note: the bottoms are laid on loose sand, the master must make an effort to fill them with sand. This will exclude their deformation in the future when you walk on them.

Household supplies from plastic bottles

This is where the expanse is ... If you think that garden decor from bottles is not for you, perhaps you will be interested in useful things that you can make of them.

Washbasins and boxes

The easiest option is to hang the bottle upside down, and when you need to wash your hands, just unscrew the cap a little. It is better to cut the bottom of the bottle and make it removable, so that it is more convenient to pour water. There is nothing difficult here, and a child can handle it. Such a washbasin can be hung on a tree or somewhere else. By the way, use this idea when you go to a picnic - it's very convenient, and your hands are always clean.

It is advisable to make a self-made washbasin lockable so that leaves, insects and other debris do not get into the water. There are also more complex designs. You can, for example, cut a hose with a tap into a large bottle. But this is so that it was quite convenient.
And you can make a box out of a bottle for bags, napkins or something similar.

Scoops and scoops

Making a scoop with your own hands is easy. Take a bottle and mark with a marker the shape of the future scoop. The rest is a matter of scissors. Well, or a knife.

Slippers

This is a shoe that wears out pretty quickly. Therefore, durable and beautiful slippers will always come in handy on the farm. No-no, don't think that bottled slippers are just scoops with heels \u003d))). I would like to see it ... Although there are also simple options. For example, this one:

And more difficult option looks like that:

Of course, it is not necessary to make such bouquets. But in general, the slippers are excellent. To avoid slipping, and the leg feels comfortable, you can experiment with "layers". How to make holes? Yes, even with a hole punch! And if there are men in the house, let them solve this problem.

And also very useful large containers for household needs can be made from plastic bottles:

Devices for repelling rodents and insects

There are many different kinds of them. I will only talk about mole repeller and mosquito trap.

Let's start with a trap
It's very simple to make it. Cut off the upper part of the bottle and insert it with the neck down. The design must be darkened with paper or cloth - mosquitoes will more readily fly in there.

Pour into the bottom of the bottle as bait sugar yeast syrup... To make it is simple: pour hot water, add sugar and yeast there, stir and cool. Such a trap will attract not only mosquitoes, but also bees, wasps, flies.

You can put the structure on the window or hang it up - this is optional. You need to clean it once a week.

By the way, I don't know why the syrup is brown in the photo - maybe made from cane sugar?))) Or maybe it's kvass. By the way, yes - insects also fly to kvass. Once they left a jar of kvass on the porch, so so many midges flew there!

Pinwheel weather vane that scares away moles and more
These devices were described in detail in the article. There is also a video - you can see how to make such a structure, how it works. Ask, what does he scare with? At the bottom of the bottle it is advised to pour beads, balls from bearings and other "rattling" elements. They say that moles can't stand the sound that this windmill makes. Who has moles? Try it, then unsubscribe here, okay?
Yes, the axis on which the craft is attached must be stuck in the ground - I think you get the idea.

About the fact that some with the help of bottles, I think you already know. The bottom and throat of the bottle are cut off - a cylinder is obtained, which is then dug into the ground. Such a cover protects the root system of a young plant from attacks by a bear.

Tool boxes

For these purposes, rectangular bottles are more suitable. For example, from under engine oils. However, there are also bottles for water of this shape. Containers are made simply: mark with a marker, cut. Everything \u003d))

These boxes can be great on the farm.

Device for deep watering of plants and their night heating

Some plants don't like shallow watering. Therefore, my mother waters some of the beds using plastic bottles.

The bottom of the bottle needs to be cut off, but not completely, to get something like a cap. We tear the earth on the side of the plant, make a small trench and put pebbles there. Drainage is needed so that the water does not erode the soil. Then we put the bottles with their necks down and roll them with the earth. Now, to water the plant, all you need is to open the lid and pour in the right amount of water. Here, look at how our summer residents use plastic containers.

Some people dig in containers with the neck up, but then you need to make holes in the bottle so that the water leaves.

As for heating plants, you can simply pour water into bottles and overlay the plant with them. In the sun, the water heats up and will give off heat to the earth for some time. I know that glass bottles are also dug into the ground, but today we are talking about plastic.

Garden work knee pads

Many people are generally contraindicated to work bent over, this is especially true for hypertensive patients. But how then weed the garden? Yes, I’ll tell you about the knee pads. If you work on your knees, your head will no longer be down, therefore, your well-being will not suffer.

All you need to do is find the right bottles, try them on to your knees, and cut the knee pads to the desired shape. Then attach the ties. It's simple.

Flower pots

And what kind of pots from plastic bottles do not exist! Some just pour earth into bottles, others make real masterpieces. The possibilities are endless. What's good: bottles can always be painted in any color and hung anywhere. For example, how do you like these ideas?

Very cute, and you won't immediately guess what the pots are made of.

Candlestick

I made my first candlestick from a plastic bottle in elementary school, in a labor lesson. It's simple. Cut off the neck and bottom of the bottle (about half of the bottle). Then cut the part with the bottom into strips and bend them. And inside you insert the part with the neck. She will hold the candle. In general, it's as easy as shelling pears.

But this is only one of the options, you can connect two necks.

Broom

Instead of a thousand words, I'll show you one video.

Why buy a broom when it can be done in half an hour?

Funnels

The farm periodically needs to pour something from one container to another. Not necessarily something edible - it happens, and diluted fertilizer, and poison for Colorado beetles ... Do not use a funnel from the kitchen for such purposes! And a funnel can be made from a bottle at any time.

Bird feeders

We fed the birds in these all winter. The bottles used were large, 5 liter. I cut out windows in them, made small "thresholds" and "porches". So that it was comfortable for the birds to sit and not to snow inside. Another plus - it is convenient to hang such feeders on trees, they already have handles.

Constructions from plastic bottles

These are not funnels with pots, but something more serious. Enterprising people from anything can build something for themselves. For example, plastic bottles make excellent greenhouses and gazebos.

Plastic bottle greenhouses

A finished medium-sized greenhouse costs more than 15 thousand rubles. I know for sure, because I was interested in this issue. Add to that the cost of assembly. Not everyone can figure out what's what. But there is an alternative that is not inferior in terms of performance and will cost you ... just 500-700 empty plastic bottles! \u003d))

The plastic from which bottles are made is 20 times stronger than dense polyethylene. It keeps the temperature perfectly, does not melt in the sun and can last for decades. At a greenhouse made of plastic bottles there are a number of advantages:

it is cheap;
durable;
easily repaired;
light in weight, it can be rearranged if necessary;
looks pretty cute.

I went for a walk on different sites and realized that there are 2 main ways to use plastic bottles in construction:

The bottom of each bottle is cut off. A thin rail is taken and all the bottles are strung on it. You will get ready-made building planks.
The bottoms and throats are cut off from the bottles. Then what happened - the middle part - is cut along. It turns out a rectangular piece of plastic. We iron it with an iron (always through hard paper) to level it. We sew larger sheets from such sheets. An overlap is desirable. You can use an awl; for fastening parts - cord thread or wire. It is not recommended to sew with thread or fishing line - the seams will quickly rot and disperse.

When the sheets (strips) are ready, you can make a frame. It is made from ordinary wooden blocks with a hammer and nails. Any form. You can - a house, you can - a triangle. And then we attach what we made from bottles to the frame. In the first case, the planks must be set as close to each other as possible so that the wind does not walk. Well, you can always glue it with scotch tape. In general, you will figure it out!)) And in the second case, ready-made plates from plastic bottles are simply nailed to a wooden frame.

An important point is the roof. In general, a good frame is able to withstand a rather heavy weight, but knowledgeable people advise covering the roof not with bottles, but with polycarbonate sheets. Or to strengthen something for the winter - suddenly there will be a lot of snow. Here's another interesting post

Surely the inventors of plastic bottles had no idea how widely people would use them. Today, craftsmen have learned how to make a huge number of useful things from plastic bottles with their own hands, from toys to a boat or a house. We will restrict ourselves to considering crafts that will help you beautifully decorate your site, garden or vegetable garden.

The extraordinary qualities of homemade plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are extremely popular with garden craft enthusiasts. The explanation is simple: on the one hand, the material is readily available, on the other hand, it is not difficult to work with it. No wonder there are a huge number of women among the admirers of the "genre".

Note that plastic containers take an extremely long time to decompose like garbage, but endlessly serves in the rain and sun in the yard. It's nice to compose something funny and useful from what was supposed to be thrown away. The presence of numerous interesting examples further provokes creative and inventive souls to create something better and unusual.

Plastic bottles have many colors, crafts from them can be painted and enriched with a variety of decorative elements, which is most often also an improvised material. The use of both small and large empty bottles from 0.5 to 5 liters allows you to create the most different combinations figures. The author of the text sets himself the task of offering you the most interesting examples and acquainting you with the methods of working with your own hands with plastic bottles using the example of several descriptions. Thus, you can both choose interesting and beautiful homemade products for repetition, and learn how to implement your own ideas.

Please note: it is very important to choose a place for the figurine in the garden where it will harmoniously fit into the surrounding environment.

Bright crafts and decorations from bottles in the yard

Such poppies always bloom, and for this they will not be fined

The most striking decoration in the yard is flowers. From plastic containers, they turn out remarkably, and a considerable number of examples have already been invented. Do you want to build a tree from bottles with your own hands? It's possible!

In winter and summer in one color

Probably the easiest plastic bottle crafts to make are mushrooms. Do-it-yourself mushrooms are extremely simple and very similar to real ones. The cap of the mushroom is the bottom of the bottle, the stem is the top of the container. They should be colored as you see fit. It is most convenient to fasten both parts with a self-tapping screw.

To get the characteristic protrusions on the fly agaric leg, you can use two bottle necks to make it. Weed can be created from the side of a green container.

In this lake, the water never freezes, and swans always live

The blue lake in the yard is most realistic to arrange from plastic bottles. Its surface, even in the absence of wind, is covered with characteristic ripples. Making such a pond is easy. You need to paint at least 100 bottles of blue paint from the inside, and then bury the neck down in the ground. Flowers are suitable for pond decor and

Funny figures of animals and people for the garden from plastic containers

We all gladly decorate our garden with crafts of animals, gnomes and people. A considerable number of very different figures for the site have already been invented. Interestingly, even when copied, each creative invention has features introduced by the author. Nothing prevents you from leaving "your own mark in history" by inventing an original gnome.

All sorts of different animals in the yard and garden

Here are several options for turtle designs. All of them are made from the bottom of the bottle, which resembles the shell of an amphibian. Using paints and other decorative elements, you can create a turtle with its own face.

The caterpillar in the garden and vegetable garden is quite appropriate. In this performance, it will not turn into a butterfly, but it will not be able to harm either. You can make an insect from the bottoms, lids and cases of plastic containers. The easiest way is to consistently collect the tops of the bright green bottles. There may be a wire inside that is bent on both sides of the figure.

Funny gnomes for the courtyard can be made from a variety of containers. Perhaps, one cannot do without the use of paints. Decor takes a special place in the performance of the gnomes: let your imagination run wild and try to use everything that comes along. This is exactly the case when you can compose something unusual and your own.

The land has not been plowed with the help of horses in the country for a long time, but the presence of their figures is appropriate and desirable. The body of a horse is most often made of five-liter eggplants, and the legs, neck and muzzle are made from smaller containers. A horse is very similar to a donkey, so when making it you can use the instructions for assembling a donkey, which follows.

Pigs in the country from plastic bottles - a classic of the genre. Of course, a 5 liter container is best for making a well-fed pig. It is often used as a flowerpot. Pig assembly techniques are exactly the same as for a donkey. A description of this follows.

A bright spot on the site will be a figurine of a fox or bear, covered with orange paint. We have already realized that large five-liter bottles are well suited for both the already mentioned and other animal crafts. Here again, fantasy and scenery are required. Assembly is the same donkey making guide that follows.

We can say with absolute certainty that it will turn out to be possible to build any animal from plastic bottles. Choose a sample to your liking and get creative!

Here are some more examples of the use of plastic containers for making animals. Frogs, hares, bears and rams - everything is like in a real forest.

Hunting trophy from a plastic container

If you cannot hunt even with a camera, you can hang a hunting trophy from a plastic canister in your house in the country. In addition to a container for making a horned head, you will additionally need 30 pieces of multi-colored plugs, a piece of wire with a diameter of 3 mm and self-tapping screws.

Hunting trophy assembly instructions:

A funny donkey made of plastic bottles for your garden

As the pictures show, donkeys are slightly different. I came up with my own collective image and prepared a master class for you:

For the assembly of the craft, we prepared 8 bottles. Subsequently, it took another one, brown, for making an animal's mane.
The neck of a 5-liter eggplant was cut off and the bottle caps for the legs were screwed on with self-tapping screws. By turning the screws in different places, you can adjust the inclination of the plugs. You must use at least three self-tapping screws to secure one cover.
Cut off the neck of the head container.
Cut out the donkey neck blank from the middle part of the bottle. In the side view, it is trapezoidal. On the sides of the part, we leave two protrusions for which the neck will be attached.
We fasten the neck to the head with two self-tapping screws. They will be inside the torso.
We bend the neck to the head and fasten the parts with another screw.
Now we attach the neck to the body with two screws. They will be inside the torso.
We turn the neck to the body and fasten it with two more screws from the bottom.
This is what the donkey's frame looks like at this stage.
Cut out the ear blanks from the green bottle. For one ear, you need a fourth of the bottle cut along the length. In the lower part of the ear we cut the protrusions for attaching to the head, in accordance with the image.
We bend the sidewalls of the protrusions so that they go into the narrow slots prepared in the head.
We mark the slots on the head with a marker in accordance with the size of the ear. They should be sized to match the width of the raised ear protrusions. We carry out the slots.
Insert the ear protrusions into the slots on the donkey's head. After installation, the folded parts will straighten and securely hold the ear on the body of the animal's head.
This is what our ward looks like with ears. We paint it with gray paint and leave it to dry overnight.
Cooking the donkey's mane from a brown bottle. The length of the workpiece corresponds to the length of the neck. To attach the part to the neck, cut out three projections in accordance with the image. We simulate the hair, cutting through the part with a step of 2mm and not reaching its edge 15mm.
We bend the edges of the protrusions for subsequent fixation to the neck. We make two blanks for the mane.
On the neck, mark three cuts with a marker in accordance with the location of the projections on the details of the mane. Their width should correspond to the size of the protrusions on the parts of the mane with curved edges. We make slits.
We bend the edges of the protrusions on the details of the mane and successively insert them into the slots on the neck of the animal.
Harness and donkey tail are conveniently made from garden curb tape. It is necessary to cut off a strip 15mm wide from it and fasten it to the body of the craft with five self-tapping screws. Eyes will fit from an old toy. We fasten them with double-sided tape. We paint the muzzle and ears from the inside with white paint. We paint the nostrils and mouth with red and black paints.
Can be harnessed! We use a plastic box as a cart. Wheels are good from old children's toys. They can be mounted on an axis of welding electrodes. We make shafts from thin branches. For good stability in windy weather, sand should be poured into the bottles of the donkey's legs.

Do-it-yourself will definitely come in handy on the farm

Interesting examples of container creations for household purposes

As you can see, quite monumental structures can be built from plastic bottles. However, many of us, having appreciated the scale of the work and the large number of bottles, are ready to utter the words from the old anecdote: "I won't drink so much." What homemade products are good, you decide, and we offer a master class on making a prosaic broom from plastic bottles with your own hands.

Steps to guide the sequence of actions:

When collecting the craft, we set the task of using fewer bottles and getting a whisk of sufficient rigidity. However, it turned out not wide enough. To solve this problem, use the entire length of the bottle for the preforms.

In this case, the container will be required twice as much. In this option, to ensure sufficient rigidity of the broom, it will have to be tied with twine, as in the photo.

Together with the broom, we made a scoop from a plastic container. To implement such an idea, it is better to use a thick plastic canister.
