Today I suggest you make crafts from plastic bottles to give. A suburban area is often used entirely as a garden, and the monotonous appearance of the beds is a little dreary, reminding us of our labors. Therefore, we decided to propose "planting" bright tall sunflowers. Decorating the garden with such crafts will noticeably refresh the landscape, and make it much more attractive and elegant.

Method 1:

We need paint, wire, a metal rod and imagination. The main tool is scissors, sometimes an awl is required.

From sheets of plastic, which will turn out from the side surface of the bottles, we cut out large petals. Their shape can be different - we make large sunflowers from strongly elongated ovals, and more rounded ones are suitable for “kids”. How many you need is up to you. Small enough 5-8.

Color the petals yellow on both sides. Someone will use spray paint, but I took acrylic.

• When the paint dries, use a heated awl to make neat holes at the base of the petals. Pass the wire through these holes and connect the petals into a flower.
• The remaining bottom of one of the bottles is useful for the core of a sunflower. The fact that it is figured is even more interesting. Paint it black or dark grey. Then connect with a thin wire to the petals.
• From strong metal rods we will make stems and paint them in green color. With the free ends of the wire, which were used to collect the petals and attach the core to them, carefully fix the bud head on the top.

Craft for a summer residence is ready! A sunflower from plastic bottles has sprouted and is ready to move to the lawn.

Method 2:

There is a way to make sunflower petals without cutting out each one individually. Photos clearly show you all the stages of production.

1. Cut off the bottom of the bottle. The height of the cut bottom depends on the length of the petals that you want to get. The longer the petals, the shorter the bottom of the bottle.

2. Cut the side walls with scissors into 10-15 parts along the bottle.

3. Cut out the petals from the strips.

5. It remains only to straighten the petals and attach to the cut out bottom, painted black.

We plant sunflowers

Where to "plant" these man-made garden flowers?

I propose to assemble a composition of several sunflowers different size. Place it near the seating area. Put there a few barrels, pots, boxes - "beehives". It's great if a few bees fly into your "apiary"!

By the way, in the next article I will tell you how to make crafts from plastic bottles for giving in the form of bees, large and small. Such garden decoration will bring a lot of joy to children, and adults will smile more than once, looking at cute bees.

Our today's instruction for creating a product from plastic bottles is great idea to use it for a summer residence or a house with an adjacent piece of land.

If a lawn grows on your summer cottage, select a part of it under a field of bright sunflowers made by yourself. We are sure that you will be pleasantly surprised at how your yard will change after you land two dozen of these beautiful flowers, and your guests will be delighted and ask you to conduct a master class on their manufacture.

Required materials (to create one sunflower):

• Three plastic bottles for water or other drinks;
• Acrylic paints (yellow, green and brown);
• Paint brush;
• Black marker;
• Finishing knife or scissors;
• hot glue gun;
• Bamboo sticks for garter plants (it's cheaper to buy a package right away).

How to make a sunflower from plastic bottles - step by step instructions with photos

1. Carefully remove all labels from bottles. We have also removed the plastic rings from the necks of the bottles, but this procedure is optional.

2. Cut off the base of one of the bottles. Try to do this along the lower transverse line of the recess - so the cut will turn out to be more accurate. You may need to shorten the bottle a little more in the future.

3. Using a black marker, draw small dots on the inside of the base cut from the bottle. In the future, this will be the center of your sunflower.

4. Color two whole bottles acrylic paint yellow color. The third bottle - the one from which you cut off the base - color it green. Color the outer part of the base of the bottle, on which you drew the dots earlier, brown. We painted everything in two layers and after applying the final layer left the parts overnight to dry completely.

5. Cut off the bottoms of the yellow colored bottles.

6. Next, you must cut the walls of each bottle into 12 narrow strips (these will be petals and sunflower leaves). Leave uncut 3.5-4cm from the top of the bottles. To make 12 strips the same in width, the easiest way is to first cut the bottle into two parts, each of them into two more parts, thus dividing the bottle into quarters. Cut each quarter into 3 more pieces. Bend each strip slightly towards the outside to "open" the flower.

7. Sharpen the outer edges of the strips so that they look even more like sunflower petals. To do this, cut them around the edges.

8. Now you must put all three parts of the flower together: first the green part, then the two yellow ones. Use a hot glue gun to fix the details of the product. Apply glue to nested bottle necks so that the glue is not visible from the outside.

9. Carefully glue the brown core into the center of the resulting flower.

10. Finally, place a bamboo stick at the bottom of the flower (in the neck of the bottom bottle) and glue it with a heat gun.
One sunflower is ready. Similarly, you can make as many colors as you like. Decorate your garden, lawn or flower bed under the window with them. In addition, you can find and watch a video tutorial on creating sunflowers from plastic bottles.

Since the creation of even one flower takes at least a day (taking into account the drying time of the paint), you can make sunflowers (and other flowers) in the winter gradually, as empty bottles and free time appear, and with the onset of warm weather, “land” on a country or the area adjacent to the house is immediately a large number of colorful picturesque hand-made plants.

Surely, every craftswoman always wanted to make some piece of furniture with her own hands. But how to do it in such a way that it is both beautiful and not too expensive, since many materials are now very expensive. Therefore, in our article we will tell you how to make a sunflower from materials that do not require special material costs and will definitely be found in the household chest of every needlewoman, with your own hands.

First, we propose to make sunflowers from plastic bottles, which are always at hand. Such flowers are perfect for decorating a country yard, flower bed or playground, as they withstand any weather conditions, thus giving the plots an original look all year round.

How to make a sunflower from various materials with your own hands in MK

To make these sunflowers you will need:

• plastic bottles preferred yellow color;
• the bottom of a brown bottle;
• glue Dragon;
• scissors;
• yellow enamel paint (in the absence of yellow bottles).

First of all, with the help of scissors, we cut off the bottoms and necks of two plastic bottles, the third bottle only needs to cut off the bottom.

After that, we proceed to the formation of the petals. To do this, we cut the previously prepared blanks into strips 3 cm thick, not cutting to the edge of 1.5 cm. From these strips we model the petals of the future sunflower. One blank is ready. But to create a full-fledged sunflower, we need as many as three of these blanks.

If you did not have yellow bottles, do not despair too much and give up. In this case, you just need to paint the blanks with yellow enamel paint.

Next, we connect all three blanks together with Dragon glue. A blank with a neck should be the last one, because in the future, it will be possible to attach a stem and material to it that seems suitable to you. After connecting the blanks, cut off the bottom of the dark brown bottle and, using the same glue, glue it into the middle of the flower.

Summer, bright sunflower is ready!

Another great addition to your garden will be pumpkin seed sunflowers, which are very easy and quick to make, but look just great.

For work you will need:

• pumpkin seeds;
• onion seeds;
• old CD;
• glue;
• paper;
• thermal gun;
• scissors;
• acrylic paints;
• tassel;
• colorless aerosol varnish.

So let's get started. First, seal the disk with white paper. After that, you need to peel off the film on the pumpkin seeds and use hot glue to glue them in a circle of the disk, with sharp spouts up.

We paint over the seeds with yellow paint and let them dry for a while. Then we well coat the middle with PVA glue and sprinkle abundantly with onion seeds so that the white paper is not visible. We process the finished sunflower with aerosol varnish for better fixation of all details. Let the flower dry. The work is finished, now you can place such beauty in any corner of your garden.

Also, very popular is the creation of sunflower flowers from ribbons. Such flowers can be made in any size and you can decorate anything with them. Often, they are used in women's jewelry, and sometimes in the manufacture of topiaries and various flower arrangements.

And now we offer you detailed wizard a class on creating a sunflower from ribbons with your own hands. For this work we need:

• yellow satin ribbon 4 cm wide;
• green satin ribbon 5 cm wide;
• green satin ribbon 1 cm wide;
• cardboard;
• scissors;
• candle;
• plastic ball;
• green fabric;
• thermal gun;
• coffee beans.

We begin work with the creation of petals. To do this, cut the yellow ribbon into segments 13 cm long and fold them in the middle at an angle of 90?.

Now we fold the tape corner to corner, so that we get a triangle on top.

We connect the lower tips of the petal together and solder with a candle. We need to make 24 such petals.

Similarly, we make sunflower leaves from green satin ribbon, only the length of the initial segment at the same time should be 20 cm. We need 3 such leaves.

For the leaves of the lower cap of the sunflower, we cut the green centimeter tape into segments 14 cm long. Then these segments must be folded in half, from the side of the fold line, cut off the corner with a soldering iron and unfold the petal. In the absence of a soldering iron, you need to fix the edges with a candle.

To get a full-fledged sheet, we also connect the lower edges together over the flame of a candle.

Next, we cut out a circle with a diameter of 12 cm from cardboard and fit it with a green cloth, collecting it on a thread along its circumference. For reliability - glue.
now we move on to attaching the petals. First, glue the green narrow leaves evenly, and then the yellow ones between them.

The second circle of petals is slightly shifted to the middle. All yellow petals should be staggered. We do the same with the third row of petals.

Cut a plastic ball with a diameter of 10 cm (for example, from a children's pool) in half and glue one half with coffee beans. Glue the finished center into the sunflower. The flower is ready, if desired, it can be made of a stem of a wire of a suitable size, wrapped in green ribbon.

Craft sunflowers with their own hands will certainly captivate every child. Sunflowers are bright, expressive flowers that retain their attractiveness even after fruits appear in them - seeds loved by children and adults.
It is not surprising that these plants attract attention and arouse interest in children, who are happy to try to convey their images in their work.

This craft will be relevant for kindergarten- sunflower can be made in various techniques, including one that does not require constant supervision and assistance from an adult. Children in a small group will be able to repeat the actions of the teacher. For pupils of older groups, you can organize a master class on the topic of how to make sunflowers with your own hands, and reveal in it several ideas for creating unusual images.

A very bright and beautiful sunflower can be made from plasticine. In order to mold sunflower petals, we need to mix three colors of plasticine - yellow, brown and orange. Do not mix them into one mass. Let the veins of each color be preserved, then the sunflower petals will look very impressive.

We decorate a brown plasticine cake with small cuts - this is the middle of a sunflower.

Glue the petals to the middle. We supplement the craft with a green leaf. Plasticine sunflower is ready!

Sunflower pattern

Drawing its core, you can use various round-shaped objects at hand - even a cardboard roll from toilet paper or disposable paper towels. And if you bend this roll on both sides, you get an excellent stamp for drawing petals: just dip it in yellow paint and apply prints around the core. Look what a wonderful sunflower you can draw using this technique! We covered the center of the sunflower with glue and sprinkled with real black pepper. The drawing turned out to be voluminous and very natural!

Depicting flower petals, you can also give freedom to your imagination. For example, you can draw petals with a toothbrush. If at the same time the core is made from a circle of black colored paper, it will turn out to be quite simple, accessible to children younger age, But interesting craft.

The leaves on the stem can also be drawn in an unusual way. For example, the original leaves are obtained from the prints of children's hands made with green paint. You can also draw the flower itself with handprints, using yellow paint for this.

Application "sunflower"

Sunflower seeds glued to the core will decorate such a pattern. There are also different methods for working with the application. For example, as a basis for creating a three-dimensional flower, you can take a disposable white paper plate. We glue a cardboard green stem and leaf to it, and inside we distribute yellow pointed petals in a circle. Pour the seeds into the center of the plate - you're done! The kids will be happy to enjoy a treat from such crafts.

Seeds can not only be poured, but glued to the center of the flower. If at the same time to make its petals voluminous, bending each of them in half, you get a spectacular appliqué.

Application "sunflower" from pieces of paper

You can make the whole flower voluminous, using pieces of colored napkins or corrugated paper for flower wrapping or scrapbooking. We cut a napkin or paper into small squares, crumple each of them into a ball and paste it into a pre-drawn outline of a sunflower.

Like a mosaic, lay out the whole pattern in lumps.

If you want to complicate the work a little, you can lay out the middle of the sunflower with pieces of paper. Coloring the bottom of the plate

We cut out oblong leaves from the newspaper and paint them yellow. We decorate the brown center with black beads. Glue a green stem with a leaf.

Another version of the sunflower, make it in the form of a picture of buttons.

After watching the master class, the children will be able to choose which work technique they like best, and if they wish, they will combine several techniques in one craft. Having created such a rich ground for creativity, educators will only have to organize a place in order to place the fruits in the most profitable way.

Dear Colleagues! I present to you a very simple and beautiful option for sunflower production to decorate the hall for the autumn and summer holidays, which can also be used as attributes for dancing.

mater ial: - yellow garbage bags for 50 liters - 1 roll;

Round filters for flower pots black (can be replaced with a dense black material, felt);

sewing machine;

Black and yellow threads;

Scissors ruler, pen, chalk.

Unrolling the bag roll (as shown in the photo) and draw stripes 4.5 cm wide for sunflowers with centers with a diameter of 10 to 15 cm 26-28 pcs. for two rows (13 - 14 pieces for each row) and 5.5 cm for sunflowers with centers with a diameter of 20 to 25 cm 32-34 pcs. for two rows (16 - 17 pieces for each row).

Bottom of the stripes (with blue stripe) cut to about 5 cm (this part will not be useful to us). Here's what we should get.

We unfold the blanks and fold them in half.

Tie the middle of the strip with a knot.

Add up "bow" twice, hiding the knot under the petal as in the photo.

The front side of the petals will look like this:

We sew the finished petals of the first row to the middle - the filter (felt, slightly shirring the middle of the petal for volume (use black thread).

Then we sew the second row of petals, placing them between the petals of the first row.

We draw with chalk the middle of the flower.

We sew "zig-zag" yellow threads.

On the reverse side, the flower looks aesthetically pleasing.

Advice: if on the reverse side is the middle sunflower it is still thick and hard to sew on (this happens with flowers with a small center, you can cut the ends of the petals in the middle, and cover the ugly cut-out parts with the extreme petals.

We straighten the petals and admire our sunflowers!

Folded flowers are easy to store: compact, take up minimal space, and if necessary, they can even be washed. To create these five sunflowers It only took me two evenings!
