DIY bottle crafts for children. What can be made from plastic bottles

The buildings

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is the thermoplastic used in bottles. It will be useful to know its physical properties:

• density - 1.38-1.4 g / cm³,
• softening temperature (t melting) - 245 ° C,
• melting point (t pl.) - 260 ° C,
• glass transition temperature (t st.) - 70 ° C,
• decomposition temperature - 350 ° С.

Plastic bottles are very convenient to use, but harmful to the environment, since the polyethylene from which they are made decomposes for more than 200 years. The same property makes it possible to use practically waste raw materials as a building material. Craftsmen are already building houses from plastic bottles, as well as sheds, summer cottages, hotbeds, greenhouses, and fences. Various technologies have been worked out - the approach is quite serious.

How to build a house from plastic bottles

The main idea is to pour bulk material into bottles, screw them with caps and use them as bricks. Fill bottles with sand, soil. Sand is preferable as there are too many plant debris in the soil that can rot. It must be sieved, dried, filled into bottles, well sealed, filled up to the very top. It turns out a kind of bricks.

To build a house from plastic bottles, you will need a solution that is used to fill the gaps between the "bricks". There are options here too. It can be an ordinary mortar, which is used when laying brick walls, you can make a clay mortar. To keep the "bricks" in the wall until the mortar grasps, they are tied with twines from the side of the lids. Later, these "mesh" will come in handy when you plaster the walls. They turn out to be uneven, so alignment is indispensable.

We make a greenhouse, shed, greenhouse

You can build a greenhouse or greenhouse out of plastic bottles. In this case, only transparent plastic is used, since it is necessary that the light passes in sufficient quantity. For the construction of a barn, on the contrary, it makes sense to choose a darker plastic - it will be less visible what is inside.

The first technology - one to one

The second requirement for bottles as a building material is an even shape. Such, you know, without notches. Otherwise, to fold the walls so that they retain heat, it will not work - it will "siphon" into the curly cutouts. We remove labels from bottles, dry them. It is also necessary to prepare pins or rods - bottles are strung on them. Their diameter is small so that the neck passes freely. Now you can start building a greenhouse / shed from plastic bottles.

To build a greenhouse or shed, pillars are dug in at the corners. Frames are assembled from the timber according to the size of the walls. These frames will be the base for the bottle walls. We collect them (frames) on the ground and, in a ready-made form, attach to the dug-in pillars. When making frames, don't forget the doorway and windows.

We build a frame, cut off the bottom of the bottles, string them onto a pin. From such "columns" we collect walls, a roof

The construction process begins with cutting the bottom. We string the cut bottles on pins, directing the necks to one side. We insert the bottles with effort so that they become very tight. Having collected a row of the required height, we attach it to the frame. You can fasten with clamps, strips cut out of metal, nails ... in any way available to you. We press the second row to the first so that there is a slight deformation. In this position, we fasten. So, row by row, we collect all the walls, then the roof.

Using the same technology, you can make a gazebo. But there is no need for tightness, so you can collect curly and colored containers. It will turn out even more interesting (example - in the photo).

The second technology - we sew plastic

Bottles will also need smooth, transparent or yellow. The central part is cut out of them, getting a square-shaped piece of plastic. The pieces are sewn together in long strips. In the strip, the pieces are positioned so that they twist to one side. Then the stripes are sewn into linens. To make the canvas even, the stripes are positioned so that they curl in different directions. As a result, they align each other. Finished canvases are nailed to the frame. This completes the construction of a greenhouse for their plastic bottles.

Such a plan "casing" for greenhouses tolerates winters well, it does not need to be removed. Due to the stitching (many small holes), there is no absolute tightness, which allows you to regulate the humidity. You will not be able to heat such a greenhouse, but it will push back the autumn and accelerate the arrival of spring.

You can sew plastic for your greenhouse by hand, but it's not easy. It will be easier for those who have non-capricious sewing machines. Old Podolsk machines cope with this task. Others may have problems.

Fence and enclosure

There are various ways to make a fence out of plastic bottles. If you need a solid monolithic fence, bottles can be used like bricks. The technology is the same as when building a house. To avoid plaster (after all, there is a great risk that it will collapse) - select the color of the plastic to obtain the required rusink. But in this case, you will have to look for "building material" of the same diameter or lay out patterns from different sizes. In general, the process is creative, no matter how you look.

You can also make a filling for a fence out of plastic bottles. Make a frame, say, from wood, and come up with a beautiful filling from figured containers and their parts.

Furniture from scrap materials: recycling plastic bottles

Not only a house and a fence can be made from plastic bottles, they are also used as a basis for upholstered furniture. The idea is to use plastic containers for the frame, not wood. With the lids tightly twisted, they have a high bearing capacity, and when assembled in blocks, they are quite capable of withstanding loads of up to 100 kg or more.

A bed made of plastic bottles ... you need a good mattress and the base is not too difficult to make

Although furniture is made differently, the general algorithm of actions is the same:

• You select the "building material" of the same height, tighten the covers well.
• Collect blocks of the desired size, fastening them with tape.
• Having assembled the base of the required shape, sew the cover. For softness adding furniture foam rubber.

The trick is to make the bottles fit very tightly to one another and not move. The slightest backlash can lead to structural destruction. Therefore, collect the blocks slowly, carefully securing them. You can stack bottles in layers, securing each layer in several places. For the inner layers, it is better to use double-sided tape - the fixation will be more reliable.

Ottomans / benches

The easiest way is to make an ottoman or a bench from plastic bottles. We proceed in the order described above. It is necessary to find bottles of the same height. It is better if they are of the same shape - it is easier to assemble. From plastic containers with tightly screwed lids, we assemble the base in the form of a cylinder. It is desirable that the radius of the base be greater than the height of the bottles - so the bench will not turn over.

Next, you need to cut out two circles from fiberboard, which will be slightly larger than the resulting radius of the base - this is the "bottom" and the base of the seat. We fix them with scotch tape. We take furniture foam rubber and, according to the dimensions obtained, cut out the necessary parts. We sew the cover from upholstery fabric, the colors that match the interior.

Such a bench can be not only round. It is quite possible to make a square one. And so that this furniture is not too light, it can be made heavier by pouring water. But water is not a very reliable business. Better to add sand. Both harder and more reliable.

Sofas, chairs, armchairs

If you need furniture higher than one bottle, proceed as when creating walls for a house. Find "material" of the same shape and height. The first bottle is left intact, the cork is tightened tightly (you can pour sand so as not to turn over). At the other, the bottom is cut off, pushed one on top of the other. The bottle enters a certain distance and does not move further, no matter how hard you make it. If the obtained height is enough - great, if not - we put on the next one. In this way, collect the rows of the desired height, then fasten them into blocks.

There is another way. It is more reliable in the sense that the bottles are held not by compressed air, but by a mechanical stop. And the walls in them are double, which is also important. The downside is more work, more raw materials are needed. The whole process is illustrated step by step.

1. We take a bottle, cut it approximately in the middle of the height (the upper part with a smaller neck).
2. The upper part with the neck (the lid is screwed on) is inserted all the way into the lower one.
3. We take a whole one of the same size and shape, insert it upside down into the prepared structure.
4. We cut the third one by about half and put the lower part on the top (with a lid).

From such modules, we assemble blocks of the desired configuration, fastening them with tape. Do not feel sorry for the adhesive tape. You can first fasten two bottles, then collect blocks of large sizes from the double ones.

As you can imagine, this technology leaves a lot of bottle tops (half of the third bottle). They can be used to make other crafts from plastic bottles: flowers, more practical things for the household.

Flowers making methods

The most common crafts made from plastic bottles are garden figurines and flowers. Read about garden figurines There are other interesting ideas, but many interesting animals and insects have been collected. And we will tell about flowers from plastic bottles below - these are probably those crafts from plastic bottles that give the most pleasure. The process is simple, there are a lot of possibilities, the result is amazing.

You've probably noticed that the bottom of a PET bottle looks like a flower. All you need to do is find a bottle of a beautiful color, cut off the bottom of it. Now you have already got a pretty flower. In the middle, you can add petals cut from the central part, a core made of a strip of plastic cut into noodles, or glue beads inside, but about everything in a little more detail.

Using the power of fire

For work, you will need a marker, a lighter or a candle (it is more convenient with a candle). If available, use a pair of pliers, tweezers or pliers to hold the workpieces while processing. You will also need acrylic paints, glue and beads may be needed. The entire manufacturing process boils down to several steps:

There are a lot of options here. Just start doing. Immediately, it may not work out perfectly, but you will understand what and how you can fix it. Look at a few more pictures with step-by-step photos of the process of making flowers from plastic bottles.

The most simple

For novice craftsmen, you can try making flowers from simple shapes of plastic bottles for garden decoration. In this case, milk containers can also be used. To avoid staining the plastic, look for colored ones. And it is not so important whether they are transparent or not. They can be combined to produce flowers of different shapes.

To create such colors, use the part near the neck. It is cut to form petals. Next - warm it up a little, giving the desired bend to the petals, a little paint, a core of a melted piece with a thread (a bottle of a smaller diameter, a pharmacy will do). So we got a buttercup.

Another option is to cut from the neck into strips of equal width - 1-1.5 cm, bend them (warming up a little at the base). Make the middle whisk from the side of the milk bottle or paint the clear plastic with acrylic paint.

The middle is any bright one. Here is a piece of cork, but you can cut it into thin noodles, roll it up and then heat it. You get a shaggy core.

It's all about the form ... Despite the imperfection, they decorate the site

The topic is actually inexhaustible. Flowers from plastic bottles are made very different. From simple and uncomplicated to very realistic. It's not so much about skill as about different tastes and desires.

Useful home ideas

PET containers turned out to be such a good material that many useful things are made of them. In this section, we have collected useful crafts from plastic bottles that can be used on the farm.

For the kitchen and not only

If you cut off the bottom of a bottle with a capacity of 2-3 liters, you get a bowl or bowl, and so that its edges are even, they can be melted on a heated iron. But so that the sole does not have to be cleaned later, use a special silicone pad. If not, you can do it through a sheet of parchment for baking.

Food container. Plastic is food grade ...

Cut off the threaded part from the same bottle. 1-2 cm of plastic should remain around the thread (the edges are melted using the already known technology). Now it will not be difficult to hermetically close any package: we pass it through the cut neck, wrap it out, tighten the lid.

The bottom of the bottles attached to the bar makes a great newspaper shelf (photo on the right). You can also store umbrellas.

From the plastic cut into strips, containers of various shapes can be weaved. Bottles need an even shape, with thick walls. They are cut into strips of a certain thickness. It is necessary to cut in a spiral - as a result, rather long stripes are obtained. If their length is not enough, they can be stitched perfectly.

Lampshades

You can even make a lampshade, but on one condition: you will use such crafts from plastic bottles in lamps with - only they almost do not heat up. Plastic is incompatible with other lamps. Let's describe three ways to make a lampshade from a plastic bottle.

The first. You need a large bottle. We draw it into strips of the same width. At the beginning and at the end of each strip, we make holes with a heated soldering iron or a nail heated on fire. We insert scissors into this hole, cut. Straight stripes are obtained.

When the strips are cut, we also make a hole in the bottom, pass thick fishing line through the neck, take it out through the hole in the bottom, and attach the decor on the back side. You can - a button, you can - a pebble of a suitable color. Now by pulling the line, we get an interesting shape of the lampshade. You can put a low power light bulb in it.

Another lampshade was made using a similar technology. But then a part of the bottle with a neck was cut into strips, the strips were wrapped and fixed on the neck. To give the desired shape, the fold can be slightly warmed up over a candle or lighter flame. We attach the resulting "flowers" to the base. So we get an unusual design.

They also make lampshades from the bottoms. It is necessary to find a sufficient number of identical bottles, cut off their bottom, glue them together with a universal glue (choose transparent). The main thing is that it glue the plastic and freeze quickly.

Flower vases

Making a vase from a plastic bottle - what could be easier ... Just cut off the neck and you're done. But there is a technique that allows you to get patterned walls. You will need the thinnest soldering iron. His power should not be too high. Then everything is simple: with the help of a heated sting, you burn out the patterns.

Magically! To make the drawing appear brighter, we take acrylic paint and paint the resulting beauty. The paint can be in a regular can, but it is faster and more convenient to use a spray can.

These are the options ...

Country crafts from plastic bottles:

If you have a small body of water on your site, you can arrange it with a plastic palm tree. Making it is not at all difficult. You will need:

• 10-15 brown plastic bottles (for the trunk of a palm tree);
• 5-6 green bottles (preferably long);
• iron or willow rod;
• awl or drill for making holes;
• a sharp knife or scissors for cutting bottles.

A palm tree made from plastic bottles looks very beautiful

Now let's start making jewelry.

• Cut all brown bottles in half. We take the lower parts and make holes with an awl in the bottom of each of them, equal in size to the diameter of the rod.

Advice! You can also take the tops of the bottles, then you don't have to make additional holes.

• For green bottles, cut off the bottom by about 1 cm. We leave one of the blanks with a neck, for the rest we cut it off to make a loop.
• Carefully cut the green bottles lengthwise into three equal parts to the very loop.

Making palm leaves

• Cut out the edges of the brown parts with teeth to create an imitation of a rough palm trunk.
• We securely fix the rod in the soil. We calculate the length of the rod by spreading brown parts on the ground in one row, plus 2-3 cm on the leaves.
