To help hostess

Crafts for giving in my work occupy an important place. Using the cast material, I was able to turn the courtyard of a multi-storey house to the fabulous kingdom. And white birch of plastic bottles in this kingdom in the first place. This birch is done very simple.
- So to make such a tree from plastic bottlesWe will need:
- bottles of green and brown color for leaves,
- plastic tube and fittings for the trunk,
- electrical cable for branches
- Thin wire.

Palm from plastic bottles do it yourself how to make

This article sent us a girl from Moscow, Anna Samochanov, « How to make palm from plastic bottles with your own hands».

My youngest Son, he seven years old, loves to make it very much. It doesn't matter what it works - a designer, plasticine or cardboard - any handicraft in his hands turns into something important and useful. He especially likes, when Dad or Mom participates in this process. We, of course, do not always have enough time to such things, but if we are worked out for business, we work together and brought to the end to the end. The most serious of our joint work was palm from plastic bottles with their own hands.

Before closing kindergarten For repairs, all parents were commissioned to make any crafts. The teacher said me: " Your task for vacation - palm from plastic bottles with your own hands" Scratching the backbone, we began to work. Passed brown and green colors, found a couple of long iron rods, prepared drill.

Started from the trunk: from each bottle, the bottoms were cut into a height of about 20 cm. The edges were cut into teeth for texture and rented a little to be like a palm tree scales. In each workpiece, I drilled a hole in the diameter of the long iron rod, which was supposed to serve as the basis for the trunk.


Green bottles We cut in half and edges each cut in the form of leaves. On one of the halves left the necks, at the ends of others, I also drilled suitable by the diameter of the hole.

Having done all the blanks, started assembling!

How to mount palm leaves?
We take elastic rods, not fat, but hard. When we make our leaves for plastic palm trees, we cut the bottles and insert them alone in one, neck in the neck, but we leave a plug on the last bottle. We drill the cork and do the rod, at the end of the rods bend that the leaves would not sleep, that's all.




That's all dear readers, Thank you for visiting and reading my site, I advise you to learn how to make flowers from plastic bottles, and in general, various crafts from plastic bottles look beautiful and naturally. Successes to your crafts !!!

Palm from plastic bottles. Author Oksana Abramova.

I will gladly show you. This is a very fast and exciting process, just collect, cut and cut the bottle!

Master class "Palma of plastic bottles"

Photo 1. For the trunk, we need brown bottles of different sizes from 0.5 liters to 2 liters or 2.5l.
Cut from the neck of the bottle of a little less than half. But the bottom of the bottle, I did not throw away, and in parallel collected the second barrel (above the photo - right). It is cut by analogy with this. But for the assembly, in the bottom, it will be necessary to cut holes with a hot knife (heating the knife to gas stove And I cut the hole of the desired diameter - the size depends on the rod to which you will wear them).

Photo 2. Cut on 8 parts before the place where the narrowing to the neck begins. And give these parts the shape of triangles

Photo 9. We start cutting our sheets from the middle of the top on both sides (about 0.4-0.5 mm), while on the middle of the sheet (between the cuts), we leave at least 1.5 cm.

Photo 10. Intripping each strip in such a sequence: 1-down, 2- skip, 3-up, 4-skip and so on. That is why our foliage will look more magnificent.

Photo 11. For the rod, I used the metal-plastic pipe (with a diameter of 20 mm), the height you can adjust yourself.
We start collecting the trunk, using first details from larger bottles and gradually (to the top of the palm) go to smaller. We collect their neck down, insert each other (a glass in a glass), with each next part, the petals turn into a checker order (in the intervals between the previous one).
The first part, I fucked to a metal-plastic pipe with a narrow double tape (sticks tightly, tried to tear this year and could not), but if you do not trust, then add some glue.
Without reaching about 30 cm. To the top of the stem, our barrel ends and foliage begins. Place the finished sheets in the chess order (each next leaflet in the gap between the previous one), alternating different colors of bottles.
For a beautiful closing of the top of the palm trees (so that it was finished), I cut 1.5 liters in half. Brown bottle, as well as for the trunk. Then she cut it down on top of thin strips (as leafs cut), and collected hands together, as if wrapped. Blucked the neck of the bottle, with the help of the same tape, to the top edge of the pipe.
For fastening, I used the reinforcement (diameter 12 mm.) 70 cm high (30 cm in the ground, 40 cm. In the trunk). And on her, like on SHAPUR, put on a metal-plastic pipe, that is, the very finished palm tree.

Photo 12. Ready!


Any garden will seem unusual and original if you put a palm tree there. However, in our climate, this idea is impossible - winter tropical plant It is clearly not survived. Alternative will be plastic palm tree. The product is not terrible frost and it is not necessary to water it.

Materials for craft

There are several ways to make palm with plastic bottles and each uses the same components:

  • Plastic bottles - brown and green. Better two or one and a half liters.
  • Scissors.
  • Scotch or glue.
  • Long, smooth stick, which will be the basis - iron, plastic or wooden.
  • Little wires or twigs for palm leaves.


Product creation steps:

  • Wash and clean from the bottle labels.
  • Make leaves.
  • Make a tree trunk.
  • Creares the leaves with the barrel and install in the yard.

it short description upcoming actions. Below will be several instructions for beginners. Everyone can choose which palm tree will be more successful in the yard.

First method

Creating leaves

Green bottles are cut in half. It will take only part with the neck. Its narrow segment remains intact, and the rest is cut into many small stripes. When the billets are made a lot - they are all ride on the cable.

It is advisable to bore them with glue or scotch, so that they are firmly attached to each other. Leaves need to do at least 5-6. If it turns out more - the tree will look even more attractive.

Palm trunk

For the trunk you need brown bottles. The bottom of the bottom is cut off, and the rest of the bottle is used. The process of creating a blank is identical to the first item - the longitudinal strips attached to the neck are cut.

However, if in the first case, the strips the bigger, the better, then there should be six them. The edges are neat, slightly pointed and bend inside. Billets need a lot. The more details, the longer the palm tree.


It is desirable to pick up the rod-length, to which they will be noted, but it is important to take into account that part of it is dug in the ground.

Preparation of the basis

As already mentioned in the two item - the rod needs to be inserted. It should be deep enough to be in the ground so that the design does not fall from the wind. Brown details are risted on it. The neck of the first blank slightly bursts along with the rod.

Fresh leaves to palm

The billets from the point one should stick the wires from the necks of the bottles. With the help of Krone Wires tied to the top of the tree.

Second way

Actions are roughly similar to Option 1. Only the type of cutting parts is changing, and the appearance of the product is also transformed from this.

In this case, brown bottles are not fully used, but only 1/3 part (which is a narrow part). Instead of 6 long strips, 8 short pointed petals are cut.

For palm trees to be wide and volumetric, petals should hang out. For lack of materials, it is possible to use a similar way and the bottom of the bottle, but then the hole is needed in the bottom.

Leaves of this palm tree seem more real. For realistic external view, in addition to green bottles, you can use yellow. You can also experiment with the size of the leaves. For huge sheets, you can take six-liter bottles, and for small one and a half-liters.

The bottom of the tanks is cut off, and the remaining part cuts into 3 sheets attached to the neck. The leaf is planned a longitudinal rod (approximately 1.5 cm) and the rest of the part is cut on a lot of thin transverse strips on both sides of the sheet rod.

In order to present visually - the leaves will remind familiar to many, the leaves of the fern. So that the tree was lush, the fringe need to flip - the strips bend alternately up or down.


Fasten the details to each other are necessary, as in the first way.

Third way

The leaves are made from the bottom of the half-and-andded bottles. They are cut off, the holes are made in the midst and ride on the cable. Such a sheet ends, on the contrary, a thin part of the bottle.

In this embodiment, the subtle base will not fit. For the basics you need to use a long log. Rodes are cut off from brown bottles and nailed to the log until they cover it completely.

Data Description 3 methods can give creative people Inspiration to create new, unusual options. A small tip: The ideas of creating leaves and the trunk can be combined as suggests the taste of the garden owner.


In the photo, especially skillfully made palm trees made of plastic bottles, surprisingly similar to the real. The courtyard in which "grows" such beauty will look like exotic tropics, even in a snowy winter.

Stock Foto Palms from plastic bottles

Paper palm trees are great for budget decoration terraces, veranda, arbors and patios, all sorts of parties, as well as school and kindergartens. These palm trees are easy to do, with what even a child can cope. But even better, that with all its cheapness and elementality, these palm trees look really very realistic.

You let us need:
- long cardboard rolls from paper towels or decorative wrapping paper (for palm trunk, which can be made of wooden, metal or plastic pole / stick, and from other analogs);
- brown paper, much - can be mint, you can use paper bags, in which at least 1 side side - in general, everything that is suitable for definition;
- dense green colored paper (you can glue the usual color in 2 layers for greater rigidity);
- Brown Thin rubber bands or thin brown twine / rope;
- Stapler;
- scissors;
- Duct tape;
- A steady decorative container in which you will "plant" your palm trees;
- decorative pebbles or small shells;
- Sand.

1. If you will use cardboard rolls as a palm tree trunk, you will have to glue several pieces in length to get palm with the necessary height. Claper as reliable as possible so that the palm tree suddenly bent into the spontaneous moment. It is even possible at the junction to fill rolls inside with something hard and long. If you already have a long base for the trunk, skip this item.

2. Hands brown brown paper into pieces with deliberately uneven edges, but quite wide and long, so that you can wrap around the bottom of the palm tree trunk on a spiral with a good overlay. Before wrapping the trunk, remember the paper with hands for a more realistic species of palm trees as a result.

3. Wrapped paper fix on the barrel with rubber bands or a thin brown rope. Rope and rubber bands put with long distances between the turns so that the paper is firmly held, but its uneven edges could be beaten to the sides. Winched the entire trunk - Bend the horizontal edges of the paper away from the barrel - it will be more like a palm tree.

4. Cut from dense bilateral green paper of large leaves of the most common slightly elongated and pointed shape - 8 pcs. Do not try to make them now similar to long rectangles with rounded corners, like alive palm trees - it is not necessary. When you attach the finished leaves to the palm tree, they will look, as it should be. Fold the cut leaves in half throughout the entire length.


6. Take 4 of the 8 finished leaves, fold them together (stack) by the bottom tips, but direct the sheets themselves at the same time in different directions - unevenly, naturally. Folded tips are built 2-3 times with a stapler. Repeat with the remaining 4 sheets.

7. Combinate a good brown paper ball, if the foundation of the palm tree, you did from cardboard rolls. Sweep the lower tips of the two "beams" of palm leaves are quite deep inside the top roll of the trunk opposite each other, happier with glue and tips, and the inner surface of the roll. Top tightly nude paper ball so that the leaves do not fall out, and also to close the hole in the barrel from above. Pour the leaves and, if necessary, correct their position.

If the trunk does not have holes, simply using glue from above and below on the bonded tips of the leaves, then take them tightly thin brown rope on the top of the palm tree. Under the rope everywhere there is also a drop of glue.

Supplements:

Try in one big - wide and deep - container put 2-3 palm trees of different heights and size of leaves;

To make this project even more environmentally friendly, glue newspaper leaves and paint their tempera in green, and then cut out from the palm leaves obtained.

Cottage plots, especially in middle lane Russia, they cannot boast of exotic plants from hot countries, first of all, because these plants need a completely different climate. But so I want to once mentally return to the warm sea, sit under the palm tree and look at the sunset. And if the seas in the country can not be organized, then "cultivate" palm "is very simple, just enough to get enough a large number of empty plastic bottles. In this article, we offer you a master class on making palm trees with their own hands.

First of all, you need to say that there is a lot different ways Build such palm. And they all get different, but very similar to the real:

In our master class we will try to make palm trees, as in the photo:

We make palm from plastic bottles

For the manufacture of palm trees you will need:

  • Plastic bottles (at least 100 pieces, green and brown)
  • Scissors
  • Candle
  • Piece of reinforcement or iron pin
  • Wire

Step-by-step instruction of palm collection:

1. First of all, all the bottles must be prepared: wash, clean the labels, remove the safety rings for the cover from the neck. Any bottles are suitable from the smallest to large.

2. Using a knife from green bottles to cut the bottom. The bottom is cut as closer to the edge as possible, so that the remainder of the bottles was longer, then the palm leaves will be fluffy and large.

3. The bottle is cutting. 1.5 liter, liter - for three parts, 2List - on 4. Cut the bottle to the throat itself, and each petal to trim around the edge - to give the desired shape.

4. We make a fringe on each leaf - very finely, so Palma will be more magnificent. In the center there should be about 1 cm untouched bottle.

5. We light the candle and bring the outer side of the petal to the flame. The fringe will get an interesting form, and will become more alive.

We have a blank, and we must make them 36. Six branches. And on each of them 6 leaves.

6. The next stage is the preparation of the place of "landing" of palm trees. The iron rod is taken and pods centimeters to the ground by 30-40.

7. Brown bottles cut down the bottom as you can smoothly and put on the rod. Then we put on this bottle the following, etc. until the end of the rod.

8. With the help of welding rods or thick wire, it hide all 6 branches among themselves. To do this, in the upper bottle of the trunk, you need to do 3 holes throughout (cross-crosswise). Throw through them a thick wire and on this wire to wear ready-made branches with leaves.

9. At the bottom of our 6 branches there are covers in which 2 holes need to be done. The wire stretches through the entire branch and twisted at the top (there is the same cover with 2 holes). Another opening must be done to attach the branch to the welding rod at the base.

As a result, we have a wonderful palm tree (in the picture is small):

There is another way to make a palm trunk, as a result of which the palm tree will have a slightly different view:

1. To create such a barrel, you need to cut brown bottles so that the lower part is a little more. The upper part is cut on 8 parts to the place of narrowing the bottle, and then cut the tips of each of the 8 parts so that they adopted the triangular shape and bend at the base, in the same way and with the bottom of the bottle, but it is done in it, equal to the diameter in it Torch.

So, we told you how to make palm with plastic bottles step by step, now we suggest familiar with the video lesson on this master class.

We wish you achievements in creativity!

Simple and inexpensive way to refresh the territory near the house or on the playground can be made by making crafts from ordinary plastic bottles. It will take some time and imagination, and you can create from this universal material Everything is enough for fantasy. You can, for example, make a banana tree. And so that you have been clear how to do it, we created a master class on a palm from unnecessary in the farms of plastic bottles quickly and just do it yourself, it has a detailed phased instruction and photos and video lessons.

Such a tree will serve beautiful decoration Holidays for children or thematic party. The more you take plastic bottles to create one palm, the higher it will turn out.

We make palm from plastic bottles with your own hands in stages

To create palm trees, we need the following materials:

  1. Plastic bottles of different sizes and colors
  2. Scissors
  3. Scotch
  4. Base for future palm. Typically take a metal rod.
  5. Frame for future palm treble wire or metal pipe.
  6. Foam or artificial bananas
  7. Yellow paint.
  8. Wire
We make the trunk of palm trees:

1) In order to make the trunk of palm trees, you need to take a brown bottle of 1.5 liters 2 and 2.5. First you need to cut the bottle from the neck of about a third. It will take the upper part, but the bottom does not rush to throw away - the barrel can also be made from it.

2) cut the bottom of each bottle with a preheated knife. To this section, we will attach the frame of our palm.

it is necessary to cut into 8 equal parts of the part of the bottle, which is with a neck. It is necessary to cut from a wide edge to narrow.

Now we need to make these parts of the pointed form, so that it looks like a petal.

3) bend the resulting petals on the outer side - it will be similar to the blossomy flower.

Palm tree foliage:

1) In order for our banana tree to appear the leaves, you need to take the bottles of green (preferably different shades), white and yellow. The more colors you use, the brighter the palm tree will look.

2) Cut from the bottle of the root of the neck and the base. The resulting workpiece cut from the bottom of the bottle towards the narrow part to 3 approximately equal parts, but not to the end. Until the end, the bottle should remain about 3 cm. Give the edges of each part shape like a narrowed semicircular petal. We begin to gently benting these petals outside, as well as the trunk of the palm tree. It turn out something remotely resembling a three-blade fan. Now each resulting sheet is cut from the edge to the middle. In the middle you need to leave a little undisputed place - approximately 2 cm. It turns out like a bug. What already strips on the width you will do, the more magnificent the fringe, and therefore the foliage of our palm tree.

3) Now the bachrome strips need to be beaten in different directions. 1-bend up, 2 - leave as it is, 3 - down. So the sheet becomes bulk.

4) There are 2 ways to arrange the leaves. In the first case, we leave our billets as it is, and in the second workpiece you need to ride a flexible wire to get long volumetric branches. In the second case, the bottles will need more, but the palm will acquire a luxurious crown.

Palm tree.

We take a bottle of dark brown and cut as a blank on the leaves - from top to bottom on thin stripes. We collect segments and wrap them inside.

Palm decoration.

Cut out from the foam blank for bananas and paint their yellow paint and gently skip through the top of a thin wire.

We collect Palm:

1) We take a palm trees prepared in advance. It may be a thick wire or metal pipe. And begin to wear ready-made billets of the trunk on the skeleton of the neck. We first wear larger billets and begin to make details as a designer. We dran until the edge will not remain about 30 cm. Try to locate the petals of each piece in a checker order. Fix the parts at the base with glue or scotch.

2) Depending on what leaves you preferred to make 2 methods of fixing 1-to the remaining empty top of the barrel begin to mount the branches of the palm trees. It is done just as the barrel collected. Do not forget to use details of different colors and laying out the leaves in a checker order. 2 - Attach the cable with the leaves strung on it on the palm frame on the tip and fix each sheet of scotch.

3) Install the top - we glue the workpiece to the edge of the frame down the neck.

4) tie artificial bananas on palm branches

To secure our palm tree - a metal pin with a plump in the ground for a 30 cm for sustainability (if desired, it is possible to pour with concrete), but that would be broken from the Earth at least 40 - for the trunk's rolling and wear our palm from above.

Now our palm from plastic bottles is ready.
