What can be made of plastic bottles

The amount of garbage that every person "produces" is growing from year to year. The problem becomes global, as flying polyethylene packages and everywhere plastic bottles vozasoli all. Grief, it turns out, you can help, and even with benefit for yourself. In any case, it concerns bottles of plastic. You will be surprised what a variety of and, importantly, useful crafts from plastic bottles can be made literally in minutes. Well, or hours ... depends on the scale.

The buildings

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) - thermoplastic, from which bottles are made. It will be useful to know his physical properties:

Density - 1.38-1.4 g / cm³,
softening temperature (T size) - 245 ° C,
Melting temperature (T pl.) - 260 ° C,
Fiberglass temperature (T Art.) - 70 ° C,
The decomposition temperature is 350 ° C.

Plastic bottles are very convenient to use, but harmful to ecology, as polyethylene, from which they are made, decomposes more than 200 years. This property, allows you to use practically okay raw materials as building material. Folk craftsmen are already building at home from plastic bottles, and still soras, cottages, greenhouses, greenhouses, fences. Various technologies are worked out - the approach is quite serious.

Building material Ready

How to build a house of plastic bottles

The main idea is to pour into the bottle of bulk material, tighten them with covers and use as bricks. Fill bottles with sand, soil. Sand is preferable, since in the ground there are too many plant residues that can rot. It must be sifted, dry, fill the bottles, well to compact, shine even to the very top. There are peculiar bricks.

Technology came from warm countries, but a country house or a barn can be built

To build a house from plastic bottles, you will need a solution that fill the gaps between the "bricks". There are also options here. It can be a conventional solution that is used when laying walls of bricks, a clay solution can be made. To "bricks" kept in the wall until the solution is captured, they are binding to them on the side of the covers. Later, these "grid" will come in handy when you are plastering the walls. They are irregular, so do not do without alignment.

We make greenhouse, shed, greenhouse

From plastic bottles you can build a greenhouse or a greenhouse. In this case, only transparent plastic is used, since it is necessary that the light passes in sufficient quantities. For the construction of a shed, on the contrary, it makes sense to find plastic darling - less will be seen that inside.

The greenhouse is characterized by the fact that it will not work in it

The first technology is one in one

The second requirement for bottles, as a building material - a flat form. Such, you know, without recess. Otherwise, fold the walls so that they keep warm, it will not work - there will be a "siphon" in curly cuts. With bottles, we remove the labels, dry. It is still necessary to prepare pins or rods - bottles are riveted on them. The diameter of their small, so that the neck passed freely. Now you can proceed to the construction of a greenhouse / barn of plastic bottles.

For the construction of a greenhouse or a barn in the corners, pillars are bought. From the bar assemble frames in the size of the walls. These frames will be the basis for bottle walls. Their (frames) we collect on Earth and in ready-made crepary to the inserted columns. When you make a frame, do not forget the doorway and windows.

We build a frame, cut the bottom of the bottles, we ride them on the pin. From these "columns" we collect walls, roof

The construction process begins with cutting bottom. Cropped bottles We ride the pins, guiding the necks in one direction. Insert the bottle with effort so that they become very tight. Having collected a number of the necessary height, fasten it to the frame. You can fix clamps cut from metal strips, nails ... any way available for you. The second row is pressed to the first to be a small deformation. In this position, fastened. So, a number of nearby, we collect all the walls, then the roof.

The gazebo of plastic bottles looks good

By the same technology, you can make a gazebo. But here it is already a tightness of anything, so you can collect curly and colored containers. So even more interesting will be (an example - in the photo).

Second technology - sew plastic

Bottles are also needed smooth, transparent or yellow. Of these, the central part is cut out, getting the patchwork of plastic square shape. Slices of each other are stitched into long stripes. In the strip pieces are located so that they are twisted in one direction. Then the stripes are stitched in the canvas. In order for the canvas to be smooth, the bands are placed so that they are twisted in different directions. As a result, they align each other. Ready canvas are nailed to the frame. On this construction of the greenhouse of their polyethylene bottles is over.

Such a plan "Oven" for greenhouses perfectly tolerates winter, it should not be removed. Due to the firmware (many small holes), there is no absolute tightness, which allows you to adjust the humidity. You will not be able to turn such a greenhouse, but the autumn will move you to you, and the arrival of spring will accelerate.

You can cross plastic for the greenhouse manually, but it is not easy. It will be easier for those who have noncain sewing machines. Cool with such a task of old Podolsk cars. There may be problems with others.

Fence and feet

Make a fence from plastic bottles in various ways. If you need a serious monolithic fence, you can use bottles as bricks. The technology is the same as during the construction of the house. To avoid plaster (nevertheless, the risk is the risk that it will fall) - pick the color of the plastic to get the necessary Rusink. But in this case, you will have to search for "building materials" of the same diameter or from different sizes lay out patterns. In general, the process is creative, no matter how much.

And house and fence by one technology

You can still make a plastic bottle filling for the fence. Frame to make, say, from wood, and from figure tanks and their parts come up with beautiful filling.

Furniture from girlfriend: We utilize plastic bottles

From plastic bottles, not only the house and fence can be made, they are used and as a basis for upholstered furniture. The idea is to use not wood for the frame, and plastic containers. With twisted covers, they have a high bearing capacity, and collected in blocks, completely able to withstand loads up to 100 kg and more.

Bed of plastic bottles ... need a good mattress, and the reason is not too difficult to do

Although the furniture make different, the overall action algorithm is the same:

Pick the "building material" the same in height, well tighten the covers.
Collect blocks of the desired size, fastening them with scotch.
Collecting the basis of the required form, sew the case. For soft, adding furniture foam rubber.

The whole focus is that the bottles are alone to the other aimed very tightly and did not move. The slightest backlash can lead to the destruction of the design. Therefore, collect blocks without hurrying, thoroughly fixing. You can add bottles in layers, fixing each layer in several places. For internal layers, bilateral scotch is better to apply - fixation will be more reliable.

Puffy / Banquets

The easiest way to do from plastic bottles of the pencil or a banquette. We act in order described above. It is necessary to find the bottles of the same height better if they are and the same form - it is easier to collect. Of plastic containers with tightly twisted lids, we collect the base in the form of a cylinder. It is desirable that the radius of the base was greater than the height of the bottles - the banquette will not turn over.

We make a pen of plastic bottles

Next, it is necessary to cut two circles from the fiberboard, which will be slightly larger than the resulting radius of the base - this is "bottom" and the base of the seating. We fix them with the help of a scotch. We take the furniture foam and, according to the size, cut out the necessary spare parts. Case sew from furniture fabric, color that comes to the interior.

Plastic Bottles Banquette: Round and Square

Such a banquette can be not only round. It can be done and square. And so that this furniture is not too easy, it can be pulled out, pouring water. But water is not too reliable. It is better to pour sand. And harder and more reliable.

Sofas, chairs, armchairs

If you need a greater height furniture than one bottle, act as when creating walls for the house. Find the "material" of the same shape and height. The first bottle leaves the whole, tighten the cork tightly (you can pour sand so as not to turn over). The other is cut off the bottom, sit alone to another. A bottle comes to a distance and continues not to move, whatever efforts you have attached. If the resulting height is enough - excellent, if not, wear the following. Thus, they 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 kept not at the expense of compressed air, and at the expense of mechanical stop. And the walls in them are double, which is also important. Minus - more work, more source raw materials needed. The whole process in step by step illustration.

Preparation of plastic bottles for the manufacture of furniture

We take a bottle, cut around in the middle of the height (the upper part with the neck is less).
The top of the neck (the cover is screwed) insert until it stops into the bottom.
We take a whole, of the same size and shape, insert it down to the prepared design.
The third cut by approximately half and the lower part is put on the top (with a lid).

Of these modules, we collect blocks of the desired configuration, tightening them with a tape. Scotchi do not spare. You can first bage two bottles, then from dual collecting large blocks of large sizes.

Crafts from plastic bottles: such furniture for giving what you need

It's all about the details))

No less reliable design, but requires careful calculation

Another option

As you understand, with such technology there are many tops from bottles (half of the third bottle). They can be used making other crafts from plastic bottles: flowers, more practical things for the economy.

Methods of making flowers

The most common crafts from plastic bottles are features for the garden and flowers. Read the garden figures here. There are other interesting ideas, but a lot of interesting animals, insects collected. And we will tell about flowers from plastic bottles below - it is probably those crafts from plastic bottles that deliver the most pleasure. The process is simple, the possibilities of mass, the result is amazing.

You probably noticed that donyshko PET bottles look like a flower. Everything that needs to be done is to find a bottle of beautiful color, cut off the bottom from her. Here you have already got a pretty flower. In the middle, you can add chopped from the central part of the petal, the core from the sliced noodle of the plastic strip or glue the beads inward, but everything is a little more detail.

If the cut snakes to paint, it turns out the beauty of your colors

Use the power of fire

For work, you will need a marker, lighter or candle (with a candle more convenient). If there is, take pliers, tweezers or passatia - keep blanks during processing. We still need acrylic paints, you may need glue and beads. The entire manufacturing process is reduced to several steps:

We take a bottle, on it draw a marker of the contours of the flower. You can draw on any part. Just petals will be curved to varying degrees.
Cut on the contour.

Draw, cut out
We light the candle and gently heating the petals. It is important to catch the moment and do not melt plastic. Slightly heating the edges, so that they melted a little, forming a more natural edge of the petal.
With the help of heated on fire, sewed, in the middle of the obtained petals we do holes.
Praying acrylic paints. Flowers will turn out opaque. There are still paints for glass (for stained glass), but they are expensive, although it turns out beautifully.

Warming up on fire, giving interesting forms
When the paint is driving, you can collect a flower combining the holes in the center, turning the petals as you like. You can fix them with a thread or thin wire with a waste button or a big bead. Button or bead - core. You can combine the petals and cut the glue drops, and make the core cut into the noodles of the strip of the same plastic (or other color).
The stem can be made of green wire, and you can wrap the candle with a strip of green plastic heated on the fire on fire (spiral).

There are a lot of options here. Just start doing. Immediately, maybe it will turn out and not perfect, but you will understand what you can fix it. See a few more pictures with a step-by-step photo of the process of manufacturing colors from plastic bottles.

The most simple

For novice needleworks, you can try to make flowers from plastic bottles of simple forms to decorate the garden. In this case, you can use milk containers. In order not to paint plastic, look for color. And it is not so important transparent they will be or not. They can be combined, getting different in the form of flowers.

From the part that I cut the petals near the neck

To create such colors use a part near the neck. It is cut, forming petals. Next - to warm up, giving the right bending to the petals, a bit of paint, the core of a melted piece of carvings (a bottle of smaller diameter, and the pharmacy). So it turned out the buttercup.

Another option - to chop from the neck to the strips of equal width - 1-1.5 cm, bend them (heating a little at the base). Middle avenue to make a lateral milk bottle or paint transparent plastic acrylic paint.

Even easier - to cut into strips for the outer curl, to make a model from white plastic lactic bottle

Middle - any bright. Here - a piece of cork, but you can cut into a thin noodle, twist the roll and then heat. It turns out a shaggy heart.

The thing is in the form ...

You can make carnations

If there are paint options sea

Very simple, but very impressive

Despite the imperfection, they decorate the plot

The topic is actually inexhaustible. Flowers made of plastic bottles make a different one. From simple and uncomplicated, to very realistic. The point is not so much in the ability, but in different tastes and desires.

Useful ideas for home

Pet containers turned out to be so good material that they make a lot of useful things. In this section, we collected useful crafts from plastic bottles, which can be used in the farm.

For kitchen and not only

If you cut off the bottle with a capacity of 2-3 liters of donyshko, it turns out a pile or a bowl, and that it is smooth to the edges, they can be melted on a preheated iron. But so that the sole does not have to be cleaned, use a special silicone overlay. If it is not, you can do it through a leaf of parchment for baking.

Capacity for products. Plastic That Food ...

From the same bottle, cut off the part with carvings. 1-2 cm plastic should remain around the thread (the edges we melt according to the already known technology). Now it is not difficult for labor to hermetically close any package: we skip it through the sliced neck, we wrap the outside, tighten the lid.

Hermetically close packages with products

From the bottom of the bottles attached to the bar, it turns out an excellent shelf for newspapers (photo on the right). You can also store umbrellas.

From the sliced plastic, you can weigh the different shape of the container. Bottles are needed smooth shape, with thick walls. They are cut into stripes of a certain thickness. It is necessary to cut on the helix - as a result, quite long stripes are obtained. If their lengths are not enough, they are perfectly stitched.

Lampshades

You can even make a lamp lamp, but under one condition: you will use such crafts from plastic bottles in lamps with LED lamps - only they are almost not heated. With the rest of the plastic lamps incompatible. We describe three ways to make lampshade from a plastic bottle.

First. Need a bottle of large tank. It is drawn on the strip of the same width. At the beginning and at the end of each band, heated soldering iron or mounted on fire nail we do holes. In this hole insert scissors, cut. It turns out even stripes.

Lamps of plastic bottles

When the bands are cut, in the bottom, we also do a hole, through the neck, we skip a thick fishing line, output through the hole in the bottom, on the reverse side, secure the decor on the reverse side. It is possible to buttons, you can - pebbles of suitable color. Now pulling the fishing line, we get an interesting form of lamb. You can put a light bulb of low power.

At similar technology, another lampshade was made. But they cut a piece of the neck with a neck on the strips, the strips were wrapped and secured on the neck. To give the desired shape, the bend place can be warm over the flame of the candle or lighters. The resulting "Flowers" Breppy on the base. So we get an unusual design.

Use the bottoms

They still make lampshades from bottoms. It is necessary to find a sufficient number of identical bottles, cut off their bottom, glue with each other with the help of universal glue (choose transparent). The main thing is that he glue plastic and quickly frozen.

Vases for flowers

Make a vase from a plastic bottle - what can be easier ... just cut off the neck and ready. But there is a technique that allows the patterned walls. You will need a soldering iron with the most subtle stale. His power should not be too high. Then everything is simple: with the help of preheated sting, burn patterns.

Magically! In order for the drawing to appear brighter, we take acrylic paint and paint the resulting beauty. Paint can be in a regular bank, but faster and more convenient to work by a canister.

These are the options ...

Photo idea

Crafts from plastic bottles are so extensive topic that it is impossible to tell about everything. What is nice, knowing several techniques, you can easily learn how and what to do looking only in the photo. So here we have collected several ideas that seemed interesting to us.
