Advice! You can also take the tops of the bottles, then you won’t have to make additional holes.
- For green bottles, cut off the bottom by about 1 cm. Leave one of the blanks with a neck, cut it off for the rest to make a loop.
- Carefully cut the green bottles lengthwise into three equal parts up to the loop.
Making palm leaves
- We cut out the edges of the brown parts with jagged edges to create an imitation of a rough palm tree trunk.
- We securely fix the rod in the soil. We calculate the length of the rod by laying out the brown parts on the ground in one row, plus 2-3 cm for the leaves.
We put brown bottles on it. 
Making a trunk for a palm tree

What skillful hands can do from unnecessary (junk) items. Crafts from bottles are made with your own hands for arranging summer cottages and children's playgrounds. Moreover, they look very attractive and original. Plastic is the cheapest and most accessible and very flexible material. You can use it to create figures of animals, flowers, dolls, children's transport, and borders. Some craftsmen use them in the construction of gazebos, fences, greenhouses, garden furniture and even boats.
Features of plastic as a material
Many people throw away plastic containers, considering them garbage, but this is a unique material for crafts that will certainly find use in the household. Its features as a material for creativity are that:
- To make crafts and work, you will not need any complex tools or devices, except for those that every good owner has in the house: scissors, sharp knives, candles, glue, stapler, drills, glue gun, and so on.
- Not only the bottle itself will do the job. You can use the lids to create colorful panels, paths, and decorate old furniture with them.
- Thanks to the flexibility of the fusible bottle, you can even create bendable structures both indoors and outdoors.
- Crafts can have different shapes and sizes, so both very small bottles and large bottles will be useful in your work.
- Plastic is considered safe material, so you can use it to create crafts for playing at home or in kindergarten.
What bottles can be made for kindergarten or kindergarten
Creating characters and all sorts of figures for children is a special area of amateur creativity. It is advisable to do them together with them. This makes it easier to teach them perseverance, to teach attentiveness, concentration, and to develop imagination. Let's look at the example of master classes on how to create simple figures and fairy-tale characters for children.
Chamomile
There are several options for making this delicate flower.
Option 1
To work you will need white bottles. They usually sell their milk and you should collect a little. As a last resort, you can use transparent, but then repaint it white. We will need 3 bottles for each chamomile. They all must have the same neck diameter, otherwise we will not be able to put the lush parts together.
Cut off the upper part (neck with lid), just below the expansion point. We do this with only two bottles, leaving one. It is desirable that the lid has yellow.
Cut out about 8 petals on each neck. Just so that they hold on and don’t fall apart. Bend them one by one in the opposite direction.
Let's start assembling the flower: we put one of the blanks on top of the one that was left uncut.
Then the second one in exactly the same way.
We unfold and bend the petals so that the chamomile looks natural and lush.
We fix all three layers with a lid, trying to make it tighter.
Such flowers can be left as is, or after assembly they can be painted in different shades. They can be planted on a wire stem or attached to a fence.
Option 2
This daisy has a more complex design, but it also looks more natural and beautiful.
Cut circles from the cylinder of the bottle (about 8 cm in diameter, larger if you want to create a large daisy). Each one will require three mugs.
We subsequently cut each circle into 16 strips and form flower petals from them.
Using an awl heated over a fire, make a hole in the center.
A little later, when we assemble the workpiece, we need to hold it a little over the fire. So the petals curl themselves, creating the correct shape of the chamomile.
From the yellow lid we cut out the core of the flower, pierce it and fasten it with wire to the inflorescence.
We make a sepal from a green bottle and melt it a little over the flame.
First we attach the sepal to the stem, then three blank petals, the core and bend it with pliers so that the chamomile does not fall apart. After bending, we pass the wire again through the sepal and twist it with the stem.
The stem will be a wire on which thin strips (about 5mm) of green plastic are wound. In order for the layers to bond well, they also need to be scorched.
If you want to create a whole composition, make leaves by cutting them out of green plastic, singe them a little, and wrap them around a stem.
You can diversify the bouquet by combining them with cornflowers. Here you will need blue plastic; the petals are cut out in the shape of cornflowers. The flower is assembled in the same way as a chamomile.
Using this method you can make any type wildflowers, and even roses, if you can roll them correctly.
Option 3
Now let's try to make a giant daisy.
As we can see, to create such wonderful decorative flowers, you will only need a few hours of time, bottles, an awl, a candle, glue and scissors.
Penguin
Plastic Coke bottles are useful for creating a penguin; thanks to their narrowed shape in the middle and widening at the bottom, they create a believable penguin body.
Tools and materials:
- 2 bottles of the same size;
- scissors;
- cool gun with silicone pencils;
- brushes;
- black marker;
- a piece of thick fabric;
- white, black and red paints.
Step-by-step assembly of the penguin:
- We cut the container in this way: the first, acting as the lower part, is cut in the middle or a little closer to the bottom, the second is the top of the penguin, so we only need the bottom. Rice. 1
- Now we connect both parts with cuts facing each other. Fig.2
- When connected, secure with glue (you can use a silicone gun). Fig.3
- Next, according to the plan, we will paint the penguin's body. Choose the type of paint so that it is not afraid of moisture. We paint the future toy in several layers. Rice. 4
- When the paint coating dries, use a black marker to outline the chest and muzzle. Fig.5
- Paint the outer part (behind the contours) completely with black paint. We leave only the top - this will be the place of the cap. Riess 5. and 6.
- In principle, the penguin is almost ready. All that remains is to paint the space left under the hat with red paint. You can, as shown in Figure 8, decorate it with black dots.
- Draw eyes and beak on the muzzle. This can be done with a thin brush and paints, or use colored markers. Rice. 9.
- Cut a scarf from a small piece of fabric and tie it on the penguin.
Crocodile
Let's try to make another toy together for kindergarten- crocodile.
For work, prepare:
- two plastic bottles, 0.5 l;
- screw caps from the same container – 4 pcs;
- sharp knife;
- stationery scissors;
- thin cardboard;
- glue;
- brushes;
- waxed paper;
- paints for painting;
- buttons for eyes.
Manufacturing and assembly instructions:
First cut the bottles in half, then so that there is a distance of about 7 cm to the neck.
You need to shape the edges so that when assembling the crocodile's body is slightly bent. As shown in the photo.
Glue the covers in place of the legs.
Form dense balls from cardboard - eyes, attach to the body.
Cover the entire body of the alligator with green colored paper.
We cut out eyes, teeth, and paws from waxed paper.
Use a brush to paint the teeth (white), nostrils (black), eyes (also black) or use dark buttons as eyes.
Bees
These funny insects are very easy to make.
Option 1
Prepare in advance:
- plastic container with a capacity of 0.33 l;
- sharp scissors;
- acrylic paints;
- glass 0.5 l;
- brushes;
- glue;
- black electrical tape;
- wire;
- stationery knife.
Instructions for implementation:
Cut out the wings of a bee from a plastic glass, as shown in the photo.
There is no need to cut the bottle completely. We make only small cuts on the sides using a stationery knife. These will be the locations for the wings.
Insert the wings into place and glue them.
Next we start painting the bee. There are two ways of painting: paint the body black, then make yellow stripes, or vice versa, make it completely yellow, then draw black stripes. Let's use the first one - paint it dark.
Draw the eyes on the lid with white and the mouth with red.
Option 2
You can make it in one copy, you can create a whole hive
To create a hive, prepare:
- plastic bottles according to the expected number of bees;
- yellow enamel or paint;
- black electrical tape;
- wash brushes – 4 pcs;
- for the eyes - beads or buttons;
- glue gun;
- synthetic thread;
- leg-split.
We paint plastic bottles yellow. You can do it a little differently - pour yellow paint inside, twist the bottle so that the paint lies evenly on the entire inner surface.
This method is a little more difficult and takes longer, but the coloring will be more impressive and glossy. In addition, it will not wash out, break or deteriorate.
This should be done in several stages in order to paint the entire surface evenly. Pour paint into a bottle, shake it and place it on its side. As soon as the first coat of paint begins to set, swirl it around until it is colored. next section and so on until the end.
When the bees' bodies take on a yellow color, we use black electrical tape to make transverse stripes.
We glue eyes and a nose from pre-prepared beads and buttons onto the lid.
From another plastic container we cut out shapes that look like wings. At the same stage of work, we attach threads to them. For them we will then hang the bee from the tree.
Using the same glue gun, glue a thread with wings to the bee's body.
We also color it yellow. You can, again, use a complex painting method. Or, so as not to waste a lot of time, just paint on top with a brush.
We will make the roof of the hive from brushes. We take them in a pile and tie them with twine.
On the lid of the bottle - this is the roof area, we apply a thick layer of glue. Place the washcloths on it so that they are distributed evenly on all sides. If they come off a little somewhere, we glue them back on.
Leave the craft at rest for a while to dry.
Everything is ready, bees and hive. All that remains is to take it to the kindergarten and hang it on a tree.
In a similar way, you can make many bees, but without a hive, and hang each one from a tree. Thus creating a real children's beekeeping center.
Creating bee crafts is an interesting activity, the work is not difficult. If the child makes it himself, under your strict guidance, it can be a good souvenir for grandparents. Such a craft will look very impressive against the backdrop of abundant tree foliage.
Butterflies
An easy-to-make and very interesting craft model.
Option 1
Let's prepare materials:
- plastic containers (a few pieces will be enough);
- paper, no smaller than A4 size;
- stationery scissors;
- silver and brown nail polish;
- glitter;
- red gel pen;
- rhinestones;
- butterfly in a stencil.
Let's start making an insect:
First, let's prepare the bottles for work: wash them, preferably with soap, remove the labels, and dry them.
On clean slate We will scan the paper or transfer the figure of a butterfly using carbon paper. For this we need a stencil. You will find it at the end of this subsection.
Using a gel pen, you need to trace the contours of the insect onto the surface of the plastic and cut it out.
We have a figure with downward curved wings.
Let's turn it over, we need them to look up.
Take the gel pen again and draw all the lines as shown on the stencil.
Use silver nail polish to paint the middle (body) and antennae. Let's draw the contours of the wings in the same tone.
Now you need to use varnish to draw all the lines, including the smallest ones, which were previously drawn with a gel pen.
We put small dots (blotches) in front of the edges.
Against the background of the silver drawing of the wings, we also put dots, only in brown.
We decorate the body of the butterfly with rhinestones. To do this, use any nail polish, put drops and plant a pebble on top.
The butterfly is ready, for everything, we needed a little time and material, which, for sure, will be found at home in the household and at the mother’s.
Similar to the previous butterfly, we make another one, only this time it is monochromatic and without pebbles.
We got two plastic butterflies, painted in the same tone.
If you glue a magnet to them, they will serve as a nice decoration on the refrigerator or any other metal surface.
Option 2
Let's look at another implementation option. We will paint it not with nail polish, but with stained glass paints. In the first version, we drew a butterfly on plastic, cut it out, and only then started painting. The technology here is different. We will draw an insect on the bottle, and we will paint it on it.
Let's prepare everything that will be useful in the work:
- stencil drawing paper:
- plastic containers;
- stained glass paints;
- wire or thick fishing line;
- scissors;
- beads (several small pieces);
- awl.
Step-by-step instructions for implementation:
We transfer the butterfly from the stencil onto the paper.
Let's redraw the insect onto plastic. You can do it like this. We cut the bottle and adjust the design from the inside so that we can clearly see it from above. Using a gel pen, transfer the contours onto the plastic.
When we finish drawing, we can start coloring. Let us remind you that we paint without cutting out the insect; the paint goes on the bottle, along the contours. After painting, leave the workpiece to dry. After it dries well, cut it out. Use your fingers to give the desired shape.
We form a body. To do this, take the wire or fishing line that we have prepared and string several beads onto it. You can take the same color, or you can make it multi-colored, whatever your heart desires.
A butterfly, or more than one, if you made several of them, are ready. You can decorate indoor flowerpots with them, hang them on curtains, attach a pin at the bottom, or better yet, glue them.
If an insect is made by a child’s hand, then it will be pleasant surprise and a gift for March 8th for a mother, teacher or grandmother.
Stencils for making butterflies
Hedgehogs
Waste material has a lot of possibilities and ways to extend its life. Moreover, every family has at least something. Here you don’t need to buy or invent anything special, much less spend money on them. Let's try to make a hedgehog from the same waste material, which is used plastic containers.
For our work we will need:
- plastic bottle;
- pine cones, about a dozen, the main thing is that they are the same size;
- two covers white, from the same bottles;
- glue (you can use “Moment” or, if you have polyurethane foam);
- colored plasticine.
Technique for creating a hedgehog:
First, we put the container in proper shape: wash it, remove the label, wipe it and dry it.
On the prepared container, glue the pine cone directly on top with glue or foam (you can also use a glue gun if you have such an item on your household). We start from the center, this will be the back of the hedgehog. We glue each cone as a separate element, after making sure that the previous one is firmly held.
If at least one of them falls, and the neighboring ones hold on tightly, then it will be difficult to “put” it back in place. Take this into account and take your time.
When all the cones - the needles of our hedgehog - are put in place, we will begin to form the muzzle. To do this, cover the bottle cap with black plasticine.
For the eyes you will need white lids prepared by us. On them, in the center, we will glue circles from the same black plasticine - these will be the pupils of the hedgehog.
Glue the eyes to the animal's face.
Now let's embellish our craft a little. What is a real hedgehog without supplies? We will make mushrooms, leaves, fruits and berries from plasticine. Then we carefully lay it on his back.
You can create a baby for the company of an adult hedgehog by molding it from plasticine. And since its dimensions do not make it possible to experiment with pine cones, the needles on the body can be made from sunflower seeds.
Helicopter
An interesting craft that you can do with your son for kindergarten. This way you will teach him to use various waste materials as material for creating toys and other necessary things.
For work, prepare:
- a small plastic bottle, perhaps from a baby yogurt bottle;
- one tailor's pin;
- 3 juice straws;
- scissors;
- one ping pong ball;
- stapler
Step-by-step work:
First, make a hole in the lid so that the tube can fit in freely.
Cut the bottle so that the upper (thick) part remains intact.
Take the remaining 2 tubes and cut them to the length of the intended propeller blades.
Cross them and pin them in the middle with a pin. Insert the tail of the helicopter into the bottle cap. Make runners from the two remaining parts of the tubes, connect them with a strip cut from an unnecessary part of the bottle with a stapler.
Attach the main part of the helicopter with the skids also with a stapler. Insert a ping pong ball into the hole.
The helicopter is ready. A minimum of time is spent on it, and the child will have a lot of pleasure from a toy created with his own hands.
Matryoshka
Matryoshka is probably the only toy that more than one generation has grown up with. In addition, it is considered a symbol of Russia. Many foreign tourists, coming to our state, buy them as souvenirs. Is it possible to create such a complex figure with your own hands, and even from waste plastic? Yes, you can, even if it will not be as functional as modern ones in toy stores, but it will be personal and, for sure, the most beloved.
When creating such crafts, not only plastic food containers are suitable, we will look at this a little later. The toys that you see in the photo below are made only from the upper parts of flasks. This way they will be more stable. To prevent the edges from being too sharp, they can be treated with electrical tape.
In this photo, the upper part is inserted into the lower part, the middle one is completely removed. This nesting doll has a more respectable appearance, looks more natural and believable. Colored acrylic paints. Children will not be able to make it in the same way, but there are many stickers and patterns of a similar image on the Internet. As a last resort, they have a lot of options to learn and draw on such a matryoshka doll model.
The next photo and the model itself can be considered multifunctional. Here you can find a custom-made nesting doll and a pencil case for storing pencils and pens. As you can see, it is not made from a food bottle, or from shampoo or cream containers.
Approximate drawings and diagrams for creating matryoshka dolls from plastic containers in kindergartens and at home.

4. Once you've completed steps 1-3 with all 50 bottles, it's time to paint them. Use spray paint, or you can take a little more time and paint each flower with acrylic paints. You can choose any color. You can also vary the colors by making some flowers one color and others another.
5. From ordinary wire make a circle. Wrap the jute and use a glue gun to glue it to the wire. You will have the base of the chandelier to which the flowers will be attached.
6. Using floral wire, attach each flower to the circle you made from the wire.
There are two ways to attach floral wire to a flower: wrap it around the neck, or glue it.
This is what the first layer looks like.
7. Repeat all steps to make several layers. In this example, 3 layers were made.
8. Use jute to attach the chandelier to the ceiling (see picture).
