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 we 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 do not 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 all the way to the loop.

Making palm leaves

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

We put brown bottles on it.

Making a trunk for a palm tree

We string our leaves onto the free top of the twig, completing the work with a blank with a neck. We make a hole in the lid and screw it onto the last sheet, securely fixing the entire crown.

Master class from plastic bottles (step by step):

It would be nice, of course, to have a beautiful lake with white and black swans on your site. On a quiet warm evening, you can turn on the lighting, Tchaikovsky's music…. However, they say that it is better to have a titmouse in your hands than a pie in the sky. This also applies to the swan, so with a certain diligence with your own hands from plastic bottles you can create an almost living proud bird in your garden.

All sorts of different swans from plastic bottles

Let's make a reservation that we have already touched on this topic.

In the photo below you can see how a swan-flowerpot is created from a five-liter container using plaster.

I must admit that there are many options for assembling a swan from plastic bottles. As soon as you get down to work, then do something in your own way, and you get another performance. Below we will look at four typical designs. There is no dispute about tastes, and you will choose what you like best. We will discuss the features of each proposal and give master classes for their manufacture.

Three options for a snow-white bird

Most of all I liked the option with the use of plywood

First of all, I would like to tell you about the most interesting. The swan figurine below is made with plywood and white plastic bottles. It is convenient to fix the plumage of a bird made of plastic on a flat sheet. Little material is required. The graceful and thin neck is well reflected by the plywood sheet. The swan's body takes on a volumetric shape.

In general, an elegant craft is created quickly and easily. The step-by-step instructions are as follows:

Light and airy bird using plastic wrap

A proud garden bird can be assembled from a five-liter eggplant and plastic wrap. The appearance of such a craft, of course, attracts attention.

Consider the master class step by step:

Two holes are made in the bottom and cork of the container and a wire is threaded, as seen in the image below. The wire will provide a skeleton for the neck and tail of the craft. In the bottle, you can cut a window through which you will be able to guide the wire inside the case by hand.
The container is punched in front and back to give the bird a smooth outline. The required shape is fixed with tape.
Next, we need an isolon. If there is no ready-made strip, you can cut strips about 7 cm wide from a material with a thickness of 3-10 mm.

The entire workpiece is wrapped with an isolon tape. The material is fixed with tape. The latter helps to smooth out the irregularities of the isolon. Several layers of isolone are required to form the bird's head.
Now you need to prepare a plastic tape to simulate the plumage of a bird. For this, tapes with a width of 70 mm are cut from a film with a thickness of 100-150 µm. The strips are cut across to a depth of 50mm in 5-10mm increments. It is convenient to fold the film in several layers to speed up the work.
The tail, body and neck of the bird are wrapped with a prepared tape. Each turn of the film is fixed with narrow tape. The next layer is shifted by 20mm relative to the previous one.
It is convenient to make the eyes of a bird from black buttons. They are sewn to the head in the right place.
A good beak will come from a red marker. Several short longitudinal slots are made on the body of the marker to form a wide part of the beak. The marker is placed on the wire of the frame. The swan is ready!

Metal mesh and tire for large swan

You will get a large bird if you use a car tire and mesh as a supporting structure. The tire can be buried halfway in the ground, or it can be cut in half. In the latter case, the craft can change its placement. You can hide it for the winter. The neck is made of wire with a corrugated hose. The rubber of the wheel and the plastic of the hose must be primed so that the paint adheres properly.

The bird's head is made of foam. The workpiece is sanded with sandpaper, putty and painted. Better to use water-based putty and paints that won't ruin the styrofoam.

The bird's two wings are made of plastic feathers attached to a mesh frame. Feathers can be shaped as shown below. They are attached to the mesh with pieces of thin copper wire through holes in the workpieces. The fenders are attached to the tire with wire.

As you can see from the picture below, the mesh is cut in the form of an oval with jagged edges. A galvanized welded mesh with a mesh of 20x20mm is well suited.

The front side of the wing looks pretty decent. We make two wings.

As you can see in the picture below, the fenders can be reinforced with thick wire supports at some distance from the tire. You will get a large and voluminous swan with spread wings. However, the craft does not have the best appearance from the back and you will have to find an appropriate location for it in the garden.

In this arrangement, two car tires are required. In addition to the wings, the tail must be made using the same technology.

A lot of bottles, a lot of work - and you get an almost live bird

"Delicious on the third." Finally, consider the fourth option, which looks great. However, it will take a lot of packaging and even more patience when making the craft.

Master class for making a swan from plastic bottles:

We make a blank from a five-liter eggplant and wire with a diameter of 3 mm. In the bottom and cork of the bottle we pierce holes opposite each other. The container can be cut to straighten the wire from the inside.
To make a bird's head, take a white bottle with a narrow neck. Cut off the bottom and cut it lengthwise in 5mm increments, as shown below.
We make the beak from a red cap and a cap from construction sealant. Cut out a hole in the cork and insert the red cap into it.
Draw the eyes with a black marker. The tapering of the head will form on the narrower part of the neck detail, which is shown separately. During assembly, an elastic band for money is first put on the neck, which is then changed to fishing line. It is better to melt the edges of the fishing line with a match so that the knot does not come loose.
We make the details of the neck as in the photo. They may have slightly different sizes, which is normal for different locations.
The image below illustrates how the neck and head details will be set. For the final attachment of the head, a copper wire bent in half clings to the upper part of the frame wire. Then the beak is screwed together and the copper wire is threaded through the head. A thin wire is folded over and wrapped around the bottle neck thread. The beak is wrapped again.
So that the parts on the neck are evenly spaced and form a smooth bend of the neck, it is necessary to wind an isolon around the wire. The latter is fixed with tape. Instead of isolon, you can use bottle caps with holes.
To fasten the "fur coat" of the swan on the body of the workpiece, pull the stocking. We put an isolon on the chest of the bird to organize a convex shape. Tie the stocking with twine.
It shouldn't sag!
To make the tail feathers, we cut out the parts shown below. We make holes through which we sew the details to the stocking.
The image below shows how to mount the tail pieces.
The bottom curve of the tail covers the specially shaped element.
The bird's body is sequentially sheathed with the details shown below. In places of bends, it is convenient to use separate ovals. The wings located on the sides are cut from the side with a step of 3-5mm. The accuracy of the work determines the type of future craft.

We have completed our consideration of the various options for making a white swan for the garden. If you do not limit your imagination, you can build both very simple and quite complex beautiful bird crafts.

Hello friends!

I continue the dacha theme, last time we examined it. Decorated the garden and vegetable garden with the cutest products, remember? We also reviewed the new items of this year. Today we continue to register our plots, and you know what? Yes, with ordinary plastic bottles.
