Vase from a plastic bottle To make a DIY craft in the form of a vase, you need to take an empty plastic bottle and scissors. Step 1. Mark and cut off the top of the bottle. Step 2. Cut the bottle into equal strips. To make it easier, you can first make wide vertical stripes from the bottle, and then cut these stripes into several thin strips. As a result, you will get many narrow stripes (see picture).Step 3. Carefully bend each strip and bend it outward. To make the edges of the vase even, press the bent strips of the bottle firmly to the surface of the table. Step 4.Our next step will be to decorate the vase with a pattern. Take one strip and fold it over the next one, then pass it under the next two strips. Bend the strip with some pressure so that the strips do not unbend and remain in the position that was given to them initially. Bend the second strip over the two next ones and pass it under one. Then bend the strips, alternating: bend the third one as we did with the first one, and the fourth one in the same way as the second one. Continue in the same spirit, all the time alternating even and odd strips until the last three remain. Wrap the remaining strips each under one strip located next to it and bend them.

adhesive for gluing plastic;

scissors;
Self-adhesive paper;

If necessary, you can mark the line additionally with a marker. Cut off the bottom of the bottle, try to do this a little higher than the mark. No matter how hard you try, the edge of the cut will not be straight right away. To even out the edge, cut the bottom of the bottles again. Do the same with the second bottle.Apply glue to the fabric edges of the fastener."zipper" on the front side and on the inner edge of the cut bottoms of plastic bottles. The fastener is glued, first of all, to the upper part of the craft, and then to the lower one (picture).While the glue is drying, draw on the back sideside of the adhesive paper ovals and cut them out with scissors. These are the blanks for the frog's eyes. Then cut out two smaller ovals from black paper and glue them to the white ovals on the top of the container to make pupils. When the glue is completely dry, your craft can be considered ready.Examples of production described hereDIY crafts from plastic bottles are only a tiny part of what can be done.
