BASKET WITH A BOUQUET

Send

Plastic bottles make wonderful floral arrangements. At the same time, multi-colored material does not need to be decorated or additionally processed. The main thing is that the fantasy does not fail and in time gives colorful ideas.
For crafts "Basket with a bouquet" we prepare:
- plastic bottles;
- glue "Second", "Moment" or analogues;
- scissors;
- paper napkins;
- a candle.

First, we’ll start designing the basics of the flower arrangement — baskets. We cut the brown bottle into two parts. We should get a tall glass. The upper part with a neck is no longer needed.

Immediately denote the handle of the basket. These are not just two bands. We carefully cut out circles with scissors, imitate weaving braids from willow twigs.

Then we decorate the edges of the basket on our own discretion, for example, we decorate them with tiny cloves or asterisks. It should be noted here, the expanded edge carries not only a decorative function. It will be convenient for us to fix flowers and leaves on horizontal fields.

We want to remove the transparency of the basket. In order not to paint over the plastic, we roll up a napkin into a long rectangle and lay out the soft paper along the walls of the basket. It does not even need to be fixed.

Fill the basket to the top with any material (cereals, seeds, small plastic residues, paper). Cover the contents with several napkins. To fix the parts we use glue (you can use PVA).

Now we cut out the squares and circles from the blue and green bottles. Thickly cut the edges of these figures with scissors, perhaps highlight the tops and petals. Under the influence of the flame of a gas burner, we turn plastic into wonderful leaves and flowers.

First, glue emerald green to the surface of the basket. It’s good if there are several shades of green in the arsenal.

Next we fill the basket with fantasy buds and blossoming flowers.

It remains to wait until the glue dries and connect the two halves of the handle of the basket. We got an unusually bright and colorful composition. We admire the work from all sides.

At first, we planned to attach a butterfly to the place where the pens were glued together, but soon we abandoned the idea. We decided not to burden the basket with a lot of colorful parts.
