What can be done from plastic bottles with your own hands?

Therefore, people began to experiment and beautiful volumetric flowers, garden lights and chandeliers, various kinds of stands, vases, candys and even full fences began to get out of unnecessary garbage.

To create all these masterpieces, the masters used bottles of different sizes and shapes, cutting out the blanks from them, gently connecting all the details with each other, and then painting them with paints in the desired color.

Up to fifteen bottles of milk or kefir (are needed for the manufacture of plumage)
Wire and scissors
A piece of hose
Paint for staining the finished product

Next, take a piece of the hose of the desired length, insert a thick wire into it, and then with your hands give the workpiece a shape that visually resembles the neck of the swan. Insert the finished workpiece into the neck of a five -liter bottle.
At the next stage, proceed to the manufacture of feathers of our swan. To do this, cut the blank from milk bottles imitating the feather. And so that it is as similar as possible to natural, cut it along the edge with sharp scissors, and then heat the fringe obtained over the lit candle (this will help to swap the feathers).
After that, we cut off the neck and ass from several milk bottles and put them on the hose (we imitate the neck of the swan). In the most extreme bottle, we cut only the ass, and leave the neck in place, and form the head of our decorative bird from it.
