NAPKIN HOLDER MADE OF PLASTIC BOTTLES

Send

What a holiday without carbonated drinks in plastic bottles? In practice, this is an integral attribute of any holiday. After the festivities, a lot of empty containers remain. Do not rush to throw it away. Plastic bottles make wonderful crafts that will decorate any interior.
Plastic treated with the flame of a gas burner or match takes the form of glass. Of course, large details cannot be thoroughly transformed, but the flowers are obtained by real works of art.
The presented napkin holder in the form of a jug is made of waste material - the remains of plastic bottles.

The product will need to allocate about 40 minutes. For work, we prepare:
- scissors
- Super glue,
- tops and bases of multi-colored plastic bottles (1.5 l),
- matches (gas burner).

First, connect the top of the brown bottle with the green bottom. So that the elements do not break up, we process the contact points with superglue. Two or three drops of transparent glue, applied at different points, is enough.
Cut a ring up to 1 cm wide from any bottle in advance and divide it into 2 equal halves. One of the halves will be used as a napkin holder. Immediately bend the ends of the strip - the handle.

We have narrow triangles made of green plastic. Remained from previous crafts when we cut grass from bottles.

We bring the top and bottom of the triangle to the flame of a gas burner, candle or match, we get fused edges with interesting curls.

To make a curly handle for a napkin holder, we also work with fire. We bend the plastic in the direction we need, and bring the flame to the conditional fold line. Plastic is deformed, taking the shape we need.

The pen and petals are ready.

This is the base of the flower. In principle, the petals could be fastened with superglue, but we decided to heat the sewing needle and pierce the triangles collected in the flower with it. Plastic melted by the action of a needle easily stuck together.

Cut the ring from a white bottle. We will divide it into 3-4 parts. Grind each of the parts into strips up to 2 mm wide. We process the ends of the strips with a flame. Curly curls turned out.

Glue the parts together. In the middle of the flower, we decided to place a pearl. However, the center of the flower can simply be sealed with a plastic circle cut off from a brown or white bottle.

We literally welded the handle to the jug. To do this, the parts were attached to one another, and the contact points were melted with a hot needle. It remains to stick a flower.
