Simple and Affordable

The process of making the box can be traced on the example of the following master class with a photo.

For work you will need: a plastic bottle, thick cardboard, a thread, a needle, a fabric of two colors, beads, an openwork ribbon.

Take a 2.5 liter bottle and cut off the bottom to a height of about nine cm. Use the sharp edge of the awl to make small holes around the entire perimeter, as shown in the photo.

Take the fabric of the main color, in our case black, and cut out a circle, twenty cm in diameter.

Then we cut out a circle from a black fabric, the radius of which is 13 cm.

Take the blank cut out of the bottle and glue a small circle of cardboard on its bottom. It is best to use a glue gun.

Let dry a little.

Now we take a large black circle, 26 cm in diameter, and along the edge we stretch a thread with a needle, as shown in the photo.

Insert a plastic bottle inside this circle and tighten the threads. The fabric should fit snugly against the plastic.

Then evenly distribute the folds and start sewing. Especially for this, holes were made on a plastic bottle.

The edges of the fabric must be tucked inward and stitched again.

Here's what we got:

Now you need to work with the lid of the box. To do this, take the remaining cardboard circle and place it in the center of the fabric circle. We sew threads along the edge of the fabric.

We tighten the threads again.

We will not give exact dimensions, but know that the length should be equal to the circumference of the bottle, the height is 1 cm more than the height of the box, and the diameter of the circle should be about 9-10 cm.

We put the lining inside the box and fasten it for the first time.

The lining needs to be sewn very carefully. On the outside, you can use openwork lace.

You can also sew lace on the bottom of the bottle.

Decorate everything with beads, it looks much more feminine.

Take another small circle of lace and fasten it to the lid.

Now you need to cut out a small circle from the fabric of the main color, which will cover the cardboard.

Sew on lace, hide the edges of the circle.

You can also decorate with beads.

Now you can make a flower upstairs. To do this, cut out five large and the same number of small petals.

And collect the flower.

This is such a beautiful box. It even reminds a little of Ukrainian symbols.

Proceed as follows:

1. Prepare those bottles from which you can cut even rectangles, and do it. For a product with a lid, you will need two bottom parts and at least 7 or 8 side walls. This is if the object is made transparent single-layer. There is a variant of a two-layer box, when to make one part, for example, a lid, bottom or side wall, two identical rectangles are connected, and a sheet of colored decorative paper is placed between them. For the second method, details will be required twice as much.

She will decorate the pool, room, she will find a place in the house next to real flowers. In order to make a water lily, prepare:

• 3 plastic milk bottles or similar white;
• 1 yellow bottle of 0.5–1 liter;
• one 5-liter canister;
• scissors;
• glue for plastic;
• green acrylic paint.

From the yellow bottle we will make 2 blanks. The first is the future petals of the flower, the second is the stamens. Cut off the neck of the yellow container at the shoulders. As shown in the photo, for the flower you need to cut out the petals. To make them round, hold quite a bit over the fire.

Take the remaining fragment of the bottle, measure 5 cm down from the cut part, cut it off. The resulting ring must be cut with scissors to get such a fringe. Now bring it to the flame of a candle or burner, and you will see how these small "antennae" wrap up and turn into openwork stamens. Now glue the stamens to the inner yellow flower with glue.

The turn of white plastic bottles has approached. From each you need to cut one blank so that they are the same. To do this, cut off the pebbles, they are not needed. Use the part, about 10 cm, located below the necks. Decorate it in the form of petals. Do this with three bottles, and then put all these 3 white parts in turn on the flower part with stamens.

You can cut the white petals separately and then stick them on the stamen blank, but this will take longer than using one-piece pieces.

Now cut out a lily leaf from the bottom of a plastic canister or large bottle, making a hole in it to insert the neck of a yellow flower into it. Paint the sheet green. Let it dry, attach a lily blank to it. This is how you make flowers out of plastic bottles.

Attach them to the canvas from a plastic bottle, outline, cut along the contour. Now in the middle of each part you need to make a small hole with an awl.

In order for the edges of the blanks to acquire the desired relief, they must be brought in turn to the flame of a candle. Use tweezers to avoid burning your fingers.

It is necessary to make a corolla of sepals. Also draw and cut it first on the stencil. To do this, enlarge the photo on your computer, redraw it on paper. Now attach the stencil to the canvas of the green bottle, outline and cut out. Then, too, make a hole in the middle with an awl and lightly singe the edges of the part over the flame.

Take the next green bottle, cut off the bottom of it, and, starting from here, cut a spiral tape 1 cm wide. At the next stage of work, wrap it around the wire of the desired length, while warming it over the candle. Then the plastic tape will stick well to the metal rod.

Leave a piece of wire 2 cm high free. Start collecting by stringing a flower from a plastic bottle on it. First put on the corolla of the sepal, then the large part of the rose, so collect the whole flower, the smallest part will be on top. Bend the wire to tightly fasten the workpieces.

Now you need to redraw the stencil for the leaves from the computer. Attach it and cut the blank from a plastic bottle. Bring a candle or lighter to the flame, singe the tips of the leaves, twisting the petiole in a spiral.

Hold the lower end of the petiole over the candle, and then wrap it around the stem of the flower. The craft is ready.

Take a plastic bottle, cut off the bottom of it. Next, you need to cut 5 triangular notches in it so that 5 petals remain on the workpiece. Using scissors, cut off their top, giving a rounded shape.

To make a plastic bottle vase stable, work on the next detail. To do this, cut off the upper part with the neck at the bottom of the shoulders. Mark on it with a felt-tip pen, and then cut out 5 petals with scissors, as shown in the photo.

For the next steps, you will need a soldering iron. With the help of it, turn the edges of these two blanks into jagged ones, and inside make symmetrical holes, make a drawing at your discretion or, focusing on the presented sample.

Once you've cut the top and bottom of the plastic bottle, you're left with the center piece. He needs to give the shape of a rhombus, and then also use a soldering iron to make the edges jagged.

Next, fold this canvas into a bag, so that its lower part goes into the opening of the bottle neck, which became the core of the flower. Now from the bottom of the vase from a plastic bottle you need to work with a soldering iron. After heating it, make several holes, as shown in the photo, so that the upper and lower parts of the product are attached to each other.

Using a soldering iron or scissors, make a hole in the very first blank that you received from the bottom of the bottle. Its size should be such that the neck of this container passes into this recess.

Put on this part, and then wrap the lid at the bottom.

Please note that the petals of both blanks must look down so that the plastic bottle vase is stable.

You can finish the topic with a story about how small chests are made for all sorts of little things and decorated with flowers. As you guessed, the box is also made from plastic bottles.

First you need to make the chest itself for jewelry or other small things. If you liked the product in the first photo, then you will need 2 large plastic bottles of any color.

The bottom is cut off from the first one a little higher than from the second. The second blank will become the lid. Along the edges of these parts you need to make uniform holes. To do this, you can use a soldering iron, an awl or a hole punch. Then take a needle with a large eye, thread colored thread into it.

Sew along the edge first of the first, and then of the second workpiece with an overlock stitch. Then these parts of the parts will not be sharp.

The next box is made from plastic bottles with a volume of 5 liters. Of these, you need to cut 6 identical large rectangles. Four of them will be the side parts, the fifth will be the bottom, and the sixth will be the lid. You also need to cut 2 long strips and 2 shorter ones. Using decorative tape or thread, sew them to the lid of the bottle box.

Now stitch all the side parts together in the same way and attach the bottom to them. The cover will be freely removed and dressed. This is how beautiful containers are made, which you can then decorate with plastic flowers. To make them, you need to cut out several blanks.

First, draw five-petal flowers on the bottle with a felt-tip pen, then cut them out. Bend the petals to one side. With the flame of a candle or lighter, holding the workpiece with tweezers, achieve the desired deformation of the petals.

Handle fire carefully, do not burn yourself. It is not necessary to keep the workpiece over the flame for a long time, otherwise you will ruin it.

Having made the required number of parts, connect them together by gluing. You can do it differently, then make 2 punctures in the center of each blank with an awl, and sew the parts together with a thread. To hide the thread from above, sew on a decorative button or attach a small plastic flower at the same time.

Now glue the flower on the box, decorating it only on the top or top and sides.
