Master class Faina_S from the "Country of Masters"

For work you will need:
plastic bottle;
scissors;
threads;
the cloth;
braid for decoration;
awl or thick needle;
cords for ties;
lighter.
Use scissors or a utility knife to cut off the top of the bottle. Carefully process the cut of the bottle using a lighter (you can use a candle). Along the edge of the bottle, stepping back 1 cm from the cut, make punctures with an awl or a thick needle. Punctures are made at a distance of 5 mm. from each other. Using a measuring tape, measure the diameter of the bottle. Cut a rectangle out of the fabric with a length equal to the diameter of the bottle, plus 2 cm seam allowances. The width of the rectangle is desired. Process the sections. Stitch the sections of the rectangle, leaving a 1 cm hole for the cord. Turn the top edge of the part 1 cm and stitch. The hole for the lace will be on the front side. All seams can be done on a sewing machine or manually with a “Stitch” seam. Put the cover on the bottle with the wrong side. Connect the cover and the bottle with a “Stitch” seam. Turn the cover on the front side. Insert the cord into the hole. Tie the ends of the lace in a knot, you can use beads, trailers or stoppers. A container from a small plastic bottle can also be used as a pencil case for a primary school student. A container from a large bottle is for storing toys, designer parts.

In this master class, I want to show several ways to create convenient storage containers from various plastic packaging.

The advantage of this kind of containers is that they are easily made at home, they can be made in any size and in any quantity, the transparency of the plastic allows you to quickly find the right thing, container material can be found in every home, such containers for small items can also be used in the country house, in the garage, etc.

So, for starters, let's make the simplest mini-container from a plastic bottle:


We heat the tip of the knife to make it easier to start cutting the bottle.


We cut the bottle into two parts with a knife. If the bottle has no edges, in order to avoid large errors when cutting, glue the adhesive tape at the desired height and cut the bottle exactly along the edge of the adhesive tape.



We will melt the edges of the bottle a little to avoid cuts to the hands during its further processing. The bottle should be kept at a distance of 0.5-1 cm from the flame, turning evenly. Rough edges after heat treatment will hide crocheting.


We heat up the steel knitting needle and make holes along the edge of the bottle, which will have to fit the size of the hook with which we will tie the edges of the bottle.




When piercing plastic with a hot needle, sharp and dark marks of plastic are often left on the surface. ..... They can be removed in many ways, I use a regular grater to clean the feet (the emery is too sharp - it damages the plastic surface, it is not very convenient to use a knife)


Now we start tying the edge with a crochet with a single crochet.



We thread the end of the thread and glue it inside the container.


Then we thread a thick thread into a gypsy needle and sew the entire row with colored thread, without missing a single hole.



We tuck the end of the thread and glue it again.


If desired, our small container can be decorated. The easiest way to decorate is double-sided tape, ribbon and rhinestones. You can also use winding threads on double-sided tape.


We cut the tape of the required length and glue it on double-sided tape. Cut off excess tape.




We make a bow at the junction, you can stick a strass and the mini-container is ready!


We make different containers of the required height and glue them with a gun into a larger and denser plastic package (in the photo, the package in which we sell food products)



We apply hot glue to the bottom and quickly glue the container to the package (hold it for a while to grab it properly)




We stick double-sided tape on our box, any tape or make a winding with threads, decorate with little things and our first little box for little things is ready! etc.


If we make a high strapping on our plastic bottle containers and thread a string, then we will get pencil cases that can be both placed and hung. They take up little space and are easy to see.





Another option for making boxes for storing small items: in it I used dense plastic cups from Danone yogurt.


The principle of making the box is the same, if the height of the box allows, you can make two tiers of cups, using cardboard (or thick plastic) for the bottom of the second tier, on which I glued the plastic bottom from the package with hot glue.



If desired, boxes for small items can be made with lids. For these purposes, I took old plastic folders, cut them to the size of the box and, having made holes with a hole punch or a hot knitting needle, sewed them together with the edge of the plastic box. Since I have a two-tiered plastic box in the photo, for convenience, I made a handle from the scraps of the folder, which I also glued with hot glue to the bottom of the second tier.




Finishing elements are glued with hot glue.



From large plastic bottles you can make excellent containers for storing small toys, parts from the designer, etc. for the children's room and kitchen. Decorating such containers can become a joint creativity for a parent and a child. The principle of creating such a large container is exactly the same as shown above.

Watering from plastic bottles

If you have a large garden but don't have time to water and don't want to invest in expensive newfangled structures, here's a simple sprinkler idea.

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

Today, everything is sold in plastic bottles: water, lemonade, milk ... Of all the garbage that we accumulate, the most voluminous are the bottles: you put one in the trash can - and that's it: consider half a bucket occupied. And what is it like in the country! In many holiday 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 what cannot be processed in country conditions.

Logical question: how plastic bottles can be used on the farm to be both useful, and convenient, and beautiful? That's what we'll talk about.


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

We have few factories that process garbage, so people themselves find interesting uses for simple and seemingly completely unnecessary things.

Plastic bottles in garden decor

If you wish, you can create such beauty - the neighbors will envy! Want to decorate your garden without spending too much? See if there are empty plastic bottles in your country house.

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 away by showers, they always look neat and pleasing to the eye. I think it looks great ... How to make such a flower bed?


Of course, you will need a lot of bottles (preferably the same size). We pour sand into them, close them and begin to build a "palisade". Bottles will have to be dug a little into the ground to give them stability. After the flower bed 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 an already finished fence than each bottle individually. And dark plastic containers can be left as they are, it also looks pretty. An example of the performance and opinions of summer residents on this method of using bottles, see the materials:

Flowers, palm trees, butterflies and other "tropics"

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


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

What may be needed:

  • 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? Everything is simple. Cut off the necks of the bottles. We cut each neck not completely along, we make 6 petals. Give the petals a rounded shape. We light a candle and scorch each petal so that it melts 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 when heated is well formed.


The stem is best made from thick wire. The stamens are made of thin wire, on which beads can be strung. It remains only to assemble the whole thing, fastening it with glue, using an awl and wire if necessary. Just look how beautiful the result is!


Cute animals for the garden

No one is made from bottles. The simplest, perhaps, is this. All you need is to cut and bend the ears, attach the tail and color it 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? I think they look great! And if you involve children in the process, they will be delighted!


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

Air curtains for the garden

These crafts captivated me precisely with their lightness and unusualness. I’ll specially collect bottles and make such a curtain in my yard! I think you can use bottles of different sizes.


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 idea is all the more interesting. 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, and you?

Lamps and chandeliers for the garden

Actually, why not? Buying a lamp for the garden is unprofitable, just hanging a light bulb is ugly. A lamp made of plastic bottles is an excellent option for lighting a garden plot.

Such chandeliers are not ashamed to hang in the house.

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 matter to husbands, brothers or fathers ... From you - creativity, from them - a lighting element \u003d)))


bottle garden path

I recently wrote about garden paths in an article. But there was nothing about bottles, only about their caps. It turns out that a good path is obtained from the bottoms, 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 prevent their deformation in the future when you walk around them.

Household supplies from plastic bottles

That's 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 can be made from them.

Wash basins and boxes

The easiest option is to hang upside down the bottle, and when you need to wash your hands, just turn off the cap a little. It is better to cut off the bottom of the bottle and make it removable so that it is more convenient to pour water. There is nothing complicated here, even 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 on a picnic - it's very convenient, and your hands are always clean.


It is advisable to make a homemade washbasin closeable so that leaves, insects and other debris do not get into the water. There are also more complex designs. You can, for example, embed a hose with a tap into a large bottle. But this is to be quite convenient.
Or you can make a box for bags, napkins or something similar out of a bottle.

Scoops and shovels

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


Slippers

These are shoes that wear out pretty quickly. Therefore, durable and beautiful slippers on the farm will always come in handy. No, no, don't think that bottle slippers are just scoops with heels =))). I would like to see it ... Although there are simple options too. For example, this one:

A more complex version looks like this:

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

And from plastic bottles you can make very useful large containers for household needs:

Devices for repelling rodents and insects

There are many different ones. I will only talk about the mole repeller and the mosquito trap.

Let's start with the trap
Make it very easy. Cut off the top of the bottle and insert it into the bottom with the neck down. The design must be darkened with paper or cloth - mosquitoes will be more likely to fly there.

Pour into the bottom of the bottle as bait sugar yeast syrup. It is easy to make: pour hot water, add sugar and yeast, 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 - this is optional. It needs to be cleaned once a week.


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

Wind vane repelling 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 design, how it works. Ask what scares him? At the bottom of the bottle, it is advised to pour beads, balls from bearings and other “rattling” elements. They say that the sound that this windmill makes is not tolerated by moles. Who has moles? Try it, then unsubscribe here, agreed?
Yes, the axis on which the craft is attached must be stuck into the ground - I think you understand.

About the fact that some use bottles, I think you already know. The bottom and throat of the bottle are cut off - a cylinder is obtained, which is 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 machine oils. However, there are also water bottles of this shape. Containers are made simply: mark with a marker, cut. Everything =))


These boxes can be very useful in the household.

Device for deep watering plants and their night heating

Some plants do not like surface watering. Therefore, my mother waters some beds with plastic bottles.

You need to cut off the bottom of the bottle, 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 water does not erode the soil. Then we put the bottles with their necks down and lay them on the ground. Now, to water the plant, all you need is to open the lid and pour the right amount of water. Here, look how our summer residents use plastic containers.

Some people dig in containers upside down, 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 put them over the plant. In the sun, the water will heat 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 knee pads

It is generally contraindicated for many people to work bending over, this is especially true for hypertensive patients. But how then to 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 have to do is find the right bottles, fit them to your knees and cut the knee pads to the desired shape. Then attach the ties. Everything is simple.

Flower pots

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


Very cute, and you will not immediately guess what the pots are made of.

Candlestick

I made my first candlestick from a plastic bottle back in elementary school, at a labor lesson. It's simple. Cut off the neck and bottom of the bottle (about half 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 easy.


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

Broom

Instead of a thousand words, I will show one video.

Why buy a broom when you can make one in half an hour?

Funnels

On the farm, from time to time there is a need 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 you can make a funnel from a bottle at any time.


Bird feeders

We fed the birds in these all winter. Bottles used 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 the snow did not sweep inside. Another plus is that it is convenient to hang such feeders on trees, they already have handles.


Buildings made from plastic bottles

These are not funnels with pots, but something more serious. Entrepreneurial people can build something out of anything. Plastic bottles, for example, make excellent greenhouses and gazebos.

Greenhouses from plastic bottles

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 performance and will cost you ... only 500-700 empty plastic bottles! =))

The plastic from which the 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. Greenhouse made of plastic bottles there are a number of advantages:

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


I took a look at different sites and realized that there are 2 main ways to use plastic bottles in construction:

  1. The bottom of each bottle is cut off. A thin rail is taken and all the bottles are strung on it. Get ready-made building strips.
  2. The bottom and neck of the bottles are cut off. Then what happened - the middle part - is cut along. It turns out a rectangular piece of plastic. We iron it with an iron (necessarily through hard paper) to level it. From such sheets we sew more sheets. Overlap preferably. 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 (slats) are ready, you can make a frame. It is made from ordinary wooden bars with a hammer and nails. Form - any. 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 should be placed as close to each other as possible so that the wind does not walk. Well, you can always stick it with tape. In general, you'll figure it out!)) And in the second case, ready-made plates from plastic bottles are simply nailed to a wooden frame.

The important thing is the roof. In general, a good frame can withstand a rather heavy weight, but knowledgeable people advise covering the roof not with bottles, but with polycarbonate sheets. Or something to strengthen for the winter - suddenly it will pile up a lot of snow. Here is another interesting post


Do not rush to throw away used plastic containers, because you can still find a useful use for it. In a new review, the author has collected the most interesting and practical examples of what else you can use unnecessary plastic bottles for.
