ROSE FROM A PLASTIC BOTTLE

Send

Good day. From plastic bottles you can make many different crafts. Not for nothing that this material belongs to waste. From it you can make not only a vase, basket or bird feeder, you can also make a rose from a bottle.
To do this, you will need:
- A plastic bottle (blue or white, as well as green).
- Scissors.
- A candle.
- Matches.
- The wire.
- Nail polish.
Cut the bottom and neck of the bottle and cut it lengthwise.

From this blank we cut the desired number of petals. I cut out 7 pieces, but then increased this figure to 11 pieces. There is nothing to worry about if the petals are not of the same shape, so the flower is even more beautiful.

Now we use a burning candle and slightly heat the edges of each petal. Close to the fire, do not bring the petal; it may become smoky. Thus, the edges of the petals will become more beautiful and interesting.

Now take the desired piece of wire. The wire should be in a sheath. I took the old wiring. This will be the stem for the flower.

We take one petal and bring its edge to the bottom of the candle flame. As soon as the plastic begins to melt, quickly press the petal to the end of the wire, it is only necessary that a small tip of the wire stick out.

In the same way we do with all the petals, only changing the place of connection of the petals.

The flower is ready, you need to make stamens. To do this, cut a small rectangle out of plastic and cut a fringe out of it, without cutting to the end.

We cover the ends of the fringe with nail polish.

After the varnish dries, roll the workpiece into a tube and melt the stamens above the fire. Do not bring it very close to the fire; the varnish may tan.

Now we heat the workpiece from the side where there is no fringe, and quickly insert it into the middle of the flower.

Now the flower itself can be slightly melted over the fire, thereby we will give it a "life".

Cut two leaves from a green bottle. Their edges also need to be melted above the candle. You can also shape them with fire.

The bottom of the leaf is heated above the candle and pressed to the stem. With the second leaf, we do exactly the same.

The flower is ready. Let's give the stem a beautiful and stable shape and such a flower will decorate the table. In the same way, you can create a large bouquet and put it in a vase.
