Plastic is perfectly cut, painted and stitched. It is quite durable, and with it your crafts will please your eye for a long time. Perhaps the only drawback of plastic bottles is their lightness. So, a sudden wind can easily scatter them throughout the garden. But this is also not a problem - pour earth or sand inside the made plastic craft, thereby strengthening and weighting the design of the product.

A plastic bottle allows you to bring a variety of ideas to life, for example, you can with my own hands make different figurines. An example would be plastic bottle frog.

To create cute figurines frogs will hold a master class. Everyone knows that frogs are able to attract money to the house and bring good luck.

Frog from plastic bottles (master class):

take two plastic bottles with a capacity of two liters, one liter plastic bottle, wire and paint;

cut off two bottoms from large plastic bottles and insert them into each other;

cut legs from one plastic bottle for the future frog princess and attach them to the body with an awl and wire;

then cut off the bottom of a liter plastic frog bottle. Cut out a beautiful crown with rays;

the cut crown must be immediately attached with a neck using an awl and wire;

at the end of the manufacturing process, it is necessary to paint and paint the craft in order to completely confuse everyone what this funny princess is made of. This is best done with acrylic paints. They fit perfectly on plastic. You can also use spray paint. The body of a plastic frog is painted, of course, green, and the crown is golden or yellowish. Draw carefully the last details - eyes, mouth, and so on. Try to give plasticity to what the frog princess is made of, a cheerful and smiling mood.

Such plastic crafts look best on stones, and not in the grass, with which the frog princess will simply merge and get lost. The ideal option would be to put it near a small pond or in another conspicuous place.

Another way to make a plastic frog:

take two bottles of two liters and one half-liter bottle;

prepare a small coil of copper wire;

you will need yellow and green paint for plastic in order to give beautiful shade frog. It is better to use spray paint;

to create a cute frog face, buy a thin brush and acrylic paints in black and yellow;

at the first stage, a frog body is created. To do this, cut off the bottom of two-liter bottles. The width of the workpiece for one will be five centimeters, and for the other - four centimeters;
first you need to draw a line with a marker to make an even cut;

now be careful - on the remaining bottle you need to draw two frog legs (find a stencil on the Internet if you can’t do it yourself), paint over the resulting details with green paint and let it dry well;

Now we need to form the body of the frog. A large blank will become the body, and a smaller one will become the head. Pierce large workpiece awl from the sides and attach with the wire of the foot. Firmly insert one part into the other;

draw a beautiful muzzle for the frog princess. Please your children by showing your creative abilities and adding more fabulousness to the character;

the small bottle will serve as the crown and the cork will be the base. Paint the carved crown yellow and try to wire it to the head.

Such a figure can be made in another, simpler method. In this case, it will serve not only as a garden decoration, but also serve as a small functional box in which spare keys or other important little things can be stored.

To create such a craft you need to take two green bottles so that they do not have to be painted later. Also prepare an awl, tape, thread, zipper and felt-tip pens.

Due to the fact that we will need the lower parts of the bottles, we will wrap them at the required height with tape. Let's make a cut along the upper border of the adhesive tape. As you understand, here the tape acts as a line drawn by a marker.

Now you need to pierce both blanks with an awl through the adhesive tape. This is necessary in order to subsequently sew a zipper to the plastic. Remove the tape, attach the zipper closed to the two halves and fix with tape. We sew a zipper. Try to make the stitches even, beautiful and neat. Then remove the fasteners. In front of you is a beautiful zippered box. But so far, she doesn't look like a frog at all.

Now it's up to your imagination and creativity. They must turn the craft into a real frog. The muzzle is quite simply drawn using waterproof markers. Bulging eyes can be made from old traffic jams, pre-painted in green

Paint is also needed. The best option will be acrylic paint. It is very suitable for plastic and goes well with it. When painting crafts, there is one important secret. Plastic bottle must be perfectly clean. So wash it well warm water remove all labels and dry thoroughly. Otherwise, if the plastic bottle remains dirty, the paint will immediately begin to peel off along with the existing dirt and the hedgehog will turn out to be untidy.

The master class, as shown in the photo, gives consistent steps in making a hedgehog craft from a plastic bottle. The first step, as you can see in the photo, is to cut out that part of a large plastic bottle that is intended for a decorative flower bed. This is done with a sharp knife or good scissors.

The next step in making a hedgehog is to paint the bottle in a natural color. Do the same with other parts for making a hedgehog. You can paint the cap (cork) crafts black. This will be the nose of the hedgehog. The eyes are usually painted. To do this, you need to make two circles with white paint, and paint over the pupils inside.

The photo shows that hedgehog ears can also be made with your own hands from a plastic bottle . First, cut them out, and then insert them into the slots made with a knife. Ears can also be drawn.

The master class, as shown in the photo, ends with filling the hedgehog flower bed fertile soil. Also use different fertilizers so that the planted plants bloom better. Then the seeds must be sown in the soil lawn grass. After a while, the seeds will germinate, begin to give friendly shoots, these will be the thorns of the hedgehog. Thus, the work on creating a plastic hedgehog flower bed will be completed.

The same principle allows you to make other numerous animal figures. . Fantasize and creativity will gradually drag you into its networks.

Let's talk about another option for making a plastic hedgehog. It can be placed anywhere - on the lawn, in the garden or at home. Hedgehogs made from plastic bottles are not afraid of any weather.

To make a plastic hedgehog you will need:
plastic bottle;
two white plastic bottle caps;
ten pine cones (or more for a bulk bottle) of approximately the same size;
plasticine;
mounting foam or glue "Moment".

The technology for making a hedgehog from plastic bottles always begins with degreasing the bottle. Use a soapy water solution for washing. After thoroughly cleaning the plastic bottle, it must be thoroughly wiped and dried.

Using Moment glue or polyurethane foam, glue pine cones on a dried and prepared plastic bottle. It is better to start gluing from the central part, which will be the back of the future hedgehog. Each pine cone must be glued separately. Be sure to make sure that it holds tight and start gluing the next one. It happens that you did not see and the pine cone peeled off. Plant it back if adjacent cones are already glued , will be very difficult. Therefore, try to immediately fix them firmly.

After you cover the body of the hedgehog with cones-needles, boldly proceed to create its nose. It can be made from the cap of a plastic bottle. For realism, carefully glue the nose with black plasticine.

For the peephole, you will need prepared two white covers. Carefully glue circles of black plasticine into the center, which will become the pupils of the hedgehog. We glue the eyes to the muzzle of the hedgehog with mounting foam or glue.

The craft is ready. It's time to decorate it. What can be done for this? Of course, it can be leaves, berries, apples or mushrooms on its back. All this is very easy to mold from plasticine . Carefully lay out the molded crafts on the hedgehog's needles. From plasticine, you can also fashion a small hedgehog. For such cheerful friend instead of cone needles, ordinary sunflower seeds are suitable.

• plastic 5-liter bottle;
• 4 plastic half-liter bottles or the same number of small plastic cups;
• 1 one and a half liter plastic bottle;

Plastic bottles need to be cleaned of labels, remove handles and rims for twisting caps.

Step-by-step instructions for making a pig figurine

A lying plastic bottle in its shape resembles the body of a well-fed pig. For an exact resemblance, only lop-eared ears, plump legs, a decorated patch and a hook tail are missing.

Procurement of parts

First, prepare the missing parts:

1. Legs. From half-liter bottles at an angle, cut off the top with a lid. When using small plastic cups, the top of the cups should also be cut at an angle so that they fit snugly against the piglet's body. Make sure that the blanks are the same length.
2. Ears. On a sheet of paper, draw a piglet's ear of any shape. We cut it out of a one and a half liter bottle. To do this, the bottle is cut into two halves along the neck and the screw part. Then, according to the drawn pattern, the ear blank is cut out so that its base falls at the beginning of the neck (up to the first rib). The ear cut from the middle part of the bottle turns out to be larger, lop-eared.
3. Tail. It can be bent from a small piece of wire, cut with a thin ribbon from the remains of plastic bottles.

The absence of any additional elements for decorative finishes the piglet is not an obstacle to the creation of a plastic figure

Before assembly in a five-liter container, several holes must be made:

1. Not far from the cover we cut 2 holes for the ears.
2. Just above the center of the top of the bottom of the bottle, make a small round hole for the tail.

Plastic bottles are easy to cut with a regular utility knife or scissors.

Assembling the figure

The assembly of the figurine is carried out as follows:

If the lower ends of the ears and tail are made in the form of an arrow, it will be easier to insert them into the holes made.

decoration

The assembled finished craft must be painted. Most often, pink shades are used for this, because it is with this color that a cheerful pig is associated. Pigs of other colors (spotted, light beige) also look interesting. Or maybe you prefer a fabulous pig, the color of which will be fantastic: polka dots, flowers or frills.

If the craft will be used outdoors, then the paint must necessarily have water-repellent properties. After painting the piglet (with a brush or by spraying from a spray can), let the figure dry well. Drying time will depend on the properties of the paint you purchased.

For durability, after the paint has dried, a layer of acrylic varnish can be applied on top of it.

The last step is gluing the eyes and painting on the patch. To designate the eyes, different options are suitable:

• voluminous buttons with an eyelet. In this case, a small slit is made at the location of the eyes, a buttonhole is pressed into it and glued;
• beads;
• self-adhesive film of a suitable color.

With a marker on the bottle cap, a patch is drawn (two small black circles). If desired, you can draw eyelashes, outline the contours of the ears, create a funny facial expression on the muzzle of the pig.

You can decorate a plastic pig in any way you like.

The presented step-by-step instruction is not a dogma. Its task is to awaken imagination, use non-standard improvised materials to make your figurine unique, inimitable, special.

Since plastic piglets are most often installed outdoors, care should be taken to ensure their stability. To do this, even before painting, a weighting agent, for example, small pebbles, is poured inside.

The symbolism of the upcoming 2019 is the yellow pig. In this article, we will look at a few simple step-by-step master classes for making a piglet with your own hands.

We will show in detail how you can make yourself from materials that can be easily found in every home, do-it-yourself crafts for the year of the pig, like a piggy bank, blind piglets from dough, do simple crafts for kindergarten, learn how to sew a pig from children's tights and socks, we will make a pig-ball from threads, we will make a coffee toy, and we will also learn how to sew a pig-tilde from fabric. And at the end of the article, a video bonus will be waiting for you: making a pig out of pompoms as a gift for New Year. So, if you're ready, let's get started!

Papier-mâché: piggy bank

To make a funny papier-mâché piggy bank, we will use toilet paper or newspapers, acrylic putty, acrylic paints, PVA glue, balloon, foil, foil reel.

First of all, you need to inflate the balloon. Then we apply several layers on inflated balloon prepared scraps of newspaper soaked in PVA glue and water - so that our piggy bank is not soft, but strong enough and let it dry.

In a plastic bucket, we will prepare a mass for papier-mâché: you need to tear toilet paper or napkins into small pieces and add PVA glue. We mix everything properly! We coat the future pig with the resulting “chewed paper”.

When the papier-mache frame dries well, the ball must be carefully burst and pulled out. Now we need to close the hole through which we pulled out the ball: to do this, we seal it crosswise with masking tape and apply papier-mâché, leaving a small rectangular hole - this will be a slot where money is thrown.

We divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as the legs for our pig. Glue the legs to the pig with masking tape. Then we apply papier-mâché. The inside of the legs must be filled with something heavy - so our pig will become more stable. Sand or some medium-sized metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.

From the foil we make a patch for the pig, under it you need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).

Now it is necessary to fashion eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made both from the remnants of papier-mâché, and fashioned from clay.

The flexible wire will serve as a tail for the pig: we twist it, covering the tail with the remnants of papier-mâché. After our pig is completely dry, it must be properly processed several times. acrylic putty and then wipe it with a cloth napkin moistened with water - this is how the barrel of the pig will be aligned.

Our piggy is ready for painting!

First you need to apply dark paint, you can use several different shades. Then red paint is applied to the craft with a sponge.

Then - pink, and as the final stage - pink and white paints are applied. The last step is to apply on protruding surfaces white paint. Our piggy bank is ready!

We offer you another option for a piggy bank, stepping which you can watch in the video:

Salt dough piglets

As a wonderful souvenir gift at home, you can also make a piglet pendant from materials that can be found in every home - flour and salt. It is very easy to make such a piglet, it turns out to be very cool and suitable as a talisman that any child will be happy with, or as a craft in a kindergarten. Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to make such a souvenir.

Simple DIY crafts for kindergarten

As a product that can be easily made, there is a paper craft, a suit for a children's party - a mask and ears of a pig, as well as a pig in a pen. Consider step by step how easy it is to do such crafts yourself.

paper craft

To make such a toy paper souvenir, we need: a black pencil and a marker, a ruler, colored paper - pink or red, as well as silver, a stapler and glue, plastic eyes prepared in advance, a ribbon for decoration.

The body of our pig should be voluminous; for this we need colored paper - pink or red. We cut out an even rectangle from paper, connect the edges with glue or a stapler so that we get the base-body for our craft - a tall and wide tube.

Next, we make the basis for the muzzle of the pig: we take the paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our piglet, and two small triangle-ears, from the second - a smaller oval-patch. Eyes for pigs can be taken prepared in advance - plastic, or you can independently cut out from other colored paper.

Now you need to connect all the parts we cut out: bend and glue the ears and patch to the head in sequence. On the patch we draw the nostrils, under it is a smiling mouth. Draw eyelashes on the eyes.

Now you need to cut out the rest of the details from multi-colored paper - for the belly of the pig we will take a silver color, and red for the front legs and tail. We glue the prepared parts: we will glue the long legs on the sides of the pig's body, the tail to the back of the craft, the tummy to the front.

We tie a thin ribbon around the pig's neck and tie an elegant bow. Our pig is ready!

The finished paper pig can be presented as a New Year's present, and it will also look good on a decorated Christmas tree as a toy.

You can also make this craft out of cardboard:

Suit: pig mask and ears

It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's party on your own, since it does not require sewing and its production will take only a few minutes.

For a costume consisting of a patch, ears and a tail of a pig, we need:

• felt or fleece in pink and white flowers,
• scissors,
• glue,
• stapler,
• paper cup,
• elastic band Pink colour,
• thin rubber band
• white thin plastic hairband.

First we make a ponytail: cut off a piece of felt fabric - it should turn out a little longer and wider than a piece of wire. We put the wire inside a piece of fabric cut off rectangularly, wrap it and glue the fabric well.

Then we take an elastic band, fold it like a belt, attach the tail we prepared in the middle and fasten it with a stapler or glue. The tail is twisted like a pig. One part of the costume is ready!

Now let's start making a patch. To do this, we take a cardboard cup of small diameter, apply a piece of pink felt to it, circle and cut out the resulting circle - this will be our patch. Cut off the top of the glass so that the height of the glass is one and a half to two centimeters.

We cut off a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that we can wrap our cup. Now we glue our cut out parts to the cup: a circle - to the bottom, a rectangular strip - along the entire cup. It turns out a cute pink patch!

We cut out two small oval parts from white felt - nostrils. Glue on the patch exactly in the middle.

We make two small holes on the sides of the cup, into which we insert a thin elastic band. We tie an elastic band inside the cup-piglet on each side into a large knot. We try on our nose on the head, it should hold on tight enough - so that it does not fall off, but also does not press hard. Our nose for the pig costume is ready!

Let's start making ears. To do this, we need to cut off two large parts in the shape of pig ears from pink felt. Then we take our hairband, pick up our ear, pinch it and wrap it around the hoop, fix it well with glue.

Our costume for the holiday is ready!

Pig in a pen

For the manufacture of such textile crafts, we need:

• empty 0.5 liter plastic bottle,
• plastic eyes,
• 4 plastic lids
• a piece of light felt or felt material,
• a small piece of flexible wire
• a piece of sintepon,
• kapron white stocking,
• colorful paper,
• a few wooden skewers
• skein of twine,
• shoe cover cardboard box,
• red and white gouache
• colorless varnish,
• hot glue,
• a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.

First, prepare a corral for the pig: turn the box upside down, glue required amount wooden skewers around the perimeter.

Wrap the box with inside green paper, weave a fence around the glued skewers with twine. We put acorns and pebbles in the corral, put a plastic jar - a feeder for our pig, arrange tree branches. Our paddock is ready!

Now we are making a pig out of a plastic bottle: we cut the bottle into several parts - the bottom, the middle and the neck. We connect the neck to the bottom, glue it with hot glue.

With scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the bottle neck. We tighten the bottle with a padding polyester, and also make a hole-mouth with the help of scissors.

We fit the body of our blank with a tighter stocking, cut out a hole-mouth and fix it with hot glue.

Our stocking knot on the neck of the bottle must be closed with a patch: for this, we cut out a circle from white cardboard, cover it with nylon, tighten it with a thread - our patch is ready.

At the bottom of the bottle, the knot must also be closed with a wire tail, which we pre-tighten in the butt area with nylon.

From light felt we cut out the ears of the pig, glue it to the head.

Preparing the legs: take plastic stoppers, we cover them with synthetic winterizer and nylon, tighten them with a thread, fix and glue them to the body of the pig with glue.

We prepare gouache: we mix red and white colors so that we get pink. Evenly paint over our pig. We apply a colorless varnish on top. After the craft dries, glue the pig's eyes and nostrils. Our craft piggy in the paddock is ready!

We sew a pig from children's tights

Making such a souvenir will not take much time; this will require a synthetic winterizer, children's tights or a sock and a little imagination. The piglet craft is easy to make by following the step by step instructions below. Ready? Then let's get started!

Socks also make good piglets:

Pig-ball of threads

To make such an original craft, we need the following materials:

• pink thread/yarn,
• colored paper,
• scissors,
• inflatable ball of round or oval shape,
• PVA glue,
• a plastic cup,
• needle.

First we need to prepare the base-body of the pig: for this we will take a ball, inflate it to the size we need. Now we pierce the plastic cup through with a needle: the resulting holes should pass near the very bottom of our cup. We will pour PVA glue into it, and we will pull the thread through the holes so that it passes through the glue poured into the cup.

We wrap our inflated ball in a chaotic manner with a thread dipped in glue to get as many weaves as possible. The larger the layer of wound threads, the stronger the craft will be. You can stop pasting the ball when it is almost hidden under a layer of thread.

It must be remembered that the glue dries for a long time, about a day, so this craft must be prepared before the holiday in advance.

After the glue has completely dried, it is necessary to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

The legs of a piglet are made in the same way: a sausage ball is inflated, wrapped with threads, then after the glue dries, the ball must be carefully burst and removed from the legs.

Now you need to glue the legs to the body; while the glue dries, we can start making the muzzle of a piglet. To do this, on colored paper, we first need to draw all the necessary details - a patch, eyes and ears, then cut them out and glue them on the body of the pig.

Then you need to stretch a long thread and secure it with a loop knot - it will come in handy if we want to hang our craft on the Christmas tree.

coffee toy

A New Year's souvenir pig in the form of a coffee toy is also easy to make, its scheme is quite simple, while it will have an exquisite aroma of coffee, vanilla or cinnamon and will give its new owner only positive emotions. Let's start creating a coffee toy!

The technique for making such a souvenir is quite simple, and for making naf-naf we will need: light calico, light threads, stuffing material - synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, a small container for diluting flavor, brushes, acrylic paints.

First you need to prepare and cut out a template - you can attach tracing paper or loose paper to the monitor screen and trace the outline of the toy with a photo.

You can also cut out a toy of any size, just click on the picture and its size will increase. It is also desirable to transfer the cut pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.

Now our pen will come in handy - we will circle the resulting pattern with it; you need to do this on a fabric that is folded in half; if it is planned to sew more than one toy, then it is necessary to leave a place on the fabric between the patterns for a seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is best done not along the drawn line itself, but nearby: the trace from the handle will not be noticeable if the fabric gets wet.

It is necessary to simultaneously sew two layers of fabric along the line; the seam begins and ends between the hind limbs of our craft, while about 2 centimeters remain unsewn - this hole is necessary in order to make it more convenient to stuff the pig. Also, you can not cut the threads of the seam so that it does not come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.

We also cut out triangular teeth at the place of the seam allowances, leaving a distance to the seam itself of about 0.2 cm as well - this will allow the seam on the toy to remain smooth and not bulge in different directions.

Now we twist and stuff the stitched pig; for especially narrow places, the ends of the folded scissors are suitable. We fill the toy with padding polyester using unsewn holes: the more padding polyester is inside, the more “plump”, “pot-bellied” our piglet will be. It is necessary to carefully sew up the holes through which we stuffed our pig and thread it - this will help to easily hang our pig to dry.

Now let's prepare the flavoring for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in the prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter of a teaspoon to the resulting mixture.

All thoroughly stir and cool. Then add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture, mix thoroughly.

Apply the resulting composition with a toothbrush on our pig in such a way that the fabric is dyed, and not completely saturated.

Now we need to dry our toy; to do this, we hang it on the grate in the oven, turned on to low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after drying, wet spots still remain on the toy, it is necessary to turn off the oven and dry our workpiece in this way.

After complete drying, the fabric soaked in the coffee glue solution will become stiff, and any funny pattern can be easily applied to it.

We start coloring - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with acrylic paints. After the paints have dried, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then it can be hung on Christmas tree or on the refrigerator.

It is advisable to avoid getting moisture on the toy. Our wonderful do-it-yourself coffee pig is ready!

We sew a tilde pig

In order to make such a wonderful souvenir, we need a printout of the pattern, cut out and transferred to the selected material. As a material for such a toy, a natural plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, calico, poplin, is best suited. You can take the materials that are left over from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.

The pattern itself consists of several parts - the pig's body, ears and legs.

The fabric must be folded in half, place the pattern patterns on top and circle; do not forget to leave 0.5 cm for the seams. Now we cut out the resulting parts and sew them together as shown in MK.

Be sure to leave holes for filling crafts with stuffing and in order to sew on a pig tail. Next, we need to sew the received parts and turn them out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, synthetic winterizer; you can also put a flavoring sachet into the pig.

It is necessary with the help of a hidden seam to sew legs and ears to the body of the pig. We make out the muzzle: you can glue plastic eyes, sew on beads, embroider with thread or paint with paints, draw or embroider nostrils with floss threads; you can draw a blush on the pig's cheeks, so it will become more elegant.

In order to make the last detail of our pig doll - a perky tail - we need to cut a rectangular piece of fabric that fits in size and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.

We fix the tip of the wire inside the tail with glue.

After the glue dries, pull on the second, free end, and it will take the form of a pig's twisted tail. We sew the tail into the body of our toy.

These funny pigs

The pig is a very prolific animal. That is why in our city apartments it is so often present in the form of cute piggy banks for Money, as well as in the form of various souvenirs to attract prosperity to the home. Some even have pigs at home as pets and claim that this animal is not inferior in devotion even to a dog. The tutorial below will show you how easy it is to make a cute pig using discarded plastic bottles.

Here is such a charming piglet that can become a wonderful pot for garden flowers or just decorate the landscape of your backyard:

To make such a miracle, you will need the following materials:

• sharp stationery scissors or a knife;
• one large plastic bottle for the piglet's body and four small bottles for the legs and ears. The degree of "fatness" of the piglet depends on the size of the large bottle;
• acrylic paint, enamel, spray or any other permanent paint of your choice;
• brushes of large and medium size;
• pencil or felt-tip pen, paper;
• glue gun;
• black permanent marker;
• a small piece of wire for the tail.

First you need to draw on paper the patterns of the ears of our pig. They should be triangular in shape - sharp at the top and more rounded at the bottom. Then, according to the prepared templates, we cut out the ears from a smaller plastic bottle.

You can make ears different shapes, depending on which part of the bottle to attach the template to.

Next, you need to cut off the tops of four small bottles at some distance from the thread. These will be the legs. It is better to cut at a slight angle - it will be easier to connect them to the body of the pig. All four hooves should be the same height.

The next step is to prepare the body. A large bottle must be placed horizontally and several cuts should be made in it: in the front part - two for the ears, in the back - one for the tail, from the bottom - four for the legs.

Let's start assembling the piglet. We insert all parts of the body into the prepared cuts - ears, hooves and tail, fix the joints of the parts with hot glue for reliability. Instead of a piece of wire twisted into a spiral, you can use a thin strip of plastic cut from one small bottle.

After that, we color the pig, draw eyes on the muzzle with a marker or stick ready-made plastic ones, draw two circles of nostrils on the patch.

Depending on the purpose, you can leave the piglet whole or cut a hole in the upper part and fill it with an earthen substrate for planting.

Plant watering pig

Surely in the house everyone has a used container for household chemicals with a handle. It can be used to create a handy pig-shaped watering can for houseplant care. Below is a step by step guide to making it.

First, the plastic container must be cleaned of labels and stickers so that they do not interfere with the painting of the product in the future and do not spoil appearance. Adhesive residue can be washed off with soapy water or dried and peeled off with a hair dryer.

For legs, you can also use the necks from smaller plastic bottles, but in this case they are not inserted into the slots, but simply attached to the body of the pig with glue. You can also use empty spools of thread, old children's blocks, or small plastic medicine jars instead of bottlenecks. If the bottle-body has a stable rectangular shape, you can do without legs altogether.

Using plastic bottles of various shapes and sizes, you can also make small souvenir piggy banks or containers for storing bulk products.

For manufacturing, we need: 1 large bottle, knife, scissors, marker, pink spray paint, red paint, brushes, buttons, aluminum and copper wire, matches and a candle.

After we have already discussed the advantages of pig crafts, now we proceed to the very creation of a masterpiece. To do this, you need to mark a place on the vessel with a marker, where we will then make ears and a head, after which we cut off the upper part and you will need to try not to hook future ears. In order for the pig's ears to stand, you need to bend them up. Then we take a candle and melt all the places where the cuts were made. After that, all places of cuts are compacted and dulled. After that, at the bottom of the workpiece (at the bottom of the plastic bottle), you will need to make a hole and insert a small piece of aluminum wire twisted in a spiral into this hole. Thus, we will depict a cute tail for our future pig.

We paint everything with it except for the patch and the bottom of the container. spray paint, of course, many times more convenient, but you can use regular acrylic. After that, with the help of red paint and a good brush, you will need to draw a patch, which can be made from a regular cork. When the spray or regular acrylic paint dries, you will need to draw the nostrils on the patch. Then we make eyes for the pig, for this we prepare two buttons and we stretch the wire into the holes for the buttons. Then we put the wire into the bottle into the holes for the eyes and on the back side we fix the wire on the back side so that the buttons do not fall out, otherwise it will be difficult to insert them later.

Here is the actual craft-pig made of unnecessary plastic is ready. Now you know, the picturesque piglet. This is the simplest version of creation.
