In a good Master in his domain, each thing has its purpose and significance. Natural stinginess and our mentality are a kind of engine and catalyst for the creative process. Probably, therefore, a single use container is used, but in a different capacity. Once you saw original hand-made articles for landscape design, you will not immediately say that it is made from an ordinary colored plastic bottle.

If the farm has a plastic bottle lying around
When PET packaging, called a plastic bottle in the amount of 30 pieces or more, was left in the household, and there is no waste recycling plant in your area, then it's time to use bottles in landscape design.
What can you do with your own hands for a dacha from a plastic bottle, from this treasure?
To begin with, the material from which the plastic bottle is made has tremendous properties: elasticity, strength and ability to retain the original volume for a long time.
The whole secret of such remarkable qualities is contained in the raw materials from which PET containers are made. Recall that the composition of the bottle includes lavsan (PolyEtilenThereftalat), which provides polymer molecules with wear resistance and allows the use of material for the production of food films and plastics. Experts and coryphaeus of landscape design, it seems, have long found the answer to the question: "What to make of plastic bottles."
Bottles of different volume and colors are used as containers and tools, and also create original hand-made articles from plastic bottles. From the bottles, bird feeders and birdhouses, mousetraps for rodents, pots and funnels for early seedlings are being built.
What you can make from a plastic bottle with your own hands
popular format
The most "popular format" bottles for making are: "Litruška", 1.5, "kopeck piece" and 2.5 l. The color capabilities of a plastic bottle start from transparent and end with a plastic of brown hue.
The cylindrical shape of a beer or milk bottle makes it possible to realize any idea, it is enough to recall the basics of descriptive geometry. In the section of the cylinder, the inclined plane can be:
• Rectangle
• ellipse
• a circle.
If you cut a plastic bottle along the length, you get two containers that can be used as containers for colors.
If you cut the bottle at an angle, relative to the axis, you can get the most exquisite shape of the section in the form of an ellipse.
The simplest option is to cut the bottle in half. In this case, you get a wonderful small capacity for harvesting berries and a universal funnel.
However, the fantasy of masters and needlewomen is not limited to any plane.
And grow flowers in the country patches of plastic bottles, palm trees, settle "peacocks", "swans" and "wood grouses".
The production of a peacock made of plastic bottles is shown in this video.

how to make daisies from plastic bottles
Stylish daisies are preferable to make from the bottom of a plastic bottle of 1 liter of white color. Cut the bottom 1 cm high. Then with a sharp knife in the places of the ribs we make small longitudinal incisions from the inside, forming a kind of petals of chamomile.
Now we work with the scissors edges of each petal, so that there is no burr. The resulting daisy is decorated with a core made of a yellow cork matched to the size. Now you can plant chamomile on any flower bed or in the original flower pot.
From the remaining neck of a bottle of white, you can make white lilies and lilies of the valley.
In addition to cute flowers, you can build a palm from plastic bottles.

Trunk
For a trunk of a palm tree beer bottles of brown color perfectly approach. You can use both the bottoms and tops of the cut bottles. In a real palm tree, the trunk has an uneven fibrous structure. Therefore, all the workings of the trunk must be cut with scissors, and then slightly bend.
Crown
For the crown of a palm tree, it is preferable to use green bottles, and for the crown, practically the entire bottle will be used, in which the bottom is cut off. We cut the foliage of the palm - long, narrow stripes. On the first bottle preparation it is necessary to leave the top part with a neck, because on it actually there will be "foliage".
Assembly
We select a long metal rod, which I securely fix on the chosen place. Then we start assembling the barrel: put on the rod all the blanks of brown. The last workpiece is fixed and fastened to the crown of a palm tree, collected from blanks of green color. The palm tree is ready!
we make an ottoman from a plastic bottle
For the manufacture of puff, a significant number of plastic bottles closed with a stopper will be required. Let's say that the number of bottles will depend on the seating area of the puff. On average, this amount is forty empty bottles.
In addition to the "tare" for puffin will require:
• Scotch tape wide
• cardboard and sintepon for lining
• ground knife and scissors
• upholstery decorative fabric
• strong thread and needle.
The process of manufacturing the puffin will consist of stages - making the base and decorating the seat.
To make the base, the bottles closed with caps are connected to each other, they are leveled and wrapped with a wide tape. It is difficult to connect all bottles at once, because they will slide. It is recommended to connect them in several sections (5-7 pieces), which are then combined into a common basis.
Now let's decorate the puffin. For this, we cut out two pieces of cardboard and sintepon, which will serve as the lining of the seat. We lay the lining on the bottle section and attach it with scotch tape. Check the tension, adjust and prepare the cover. You can use any upholstery fabric for the puffin cover, which is cut for a simple pattern: a circle with a seat diameter and a rectangle in the height of the puff.
Connects both parts of the cut material using a needle and strong threads. You can tie a suture cord. The resulting cover is sewn to the bottom of the puff.
Judging by the variety and originality of PET containers, it seems that the creative process will not be completed on the use of plastic bottles, because there are plastic cups and spoons on the farm ... But, there will be another story told, alas, not by me .
