How to make a sunflower from a plastic bottle. DIY sunflower from scrap materials

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

If on your summer cottage the lawn is growing - select a part of it under the field of bright DIY sunflowers. We are sure that you will be pleasantly surprised at how much your yard will be transformed after you plant two dozen of these beautiful flowers on it, and your guests will be delighted and ask you to hold a master class on how to make them.

Required materials (to create one sunflower):

Three plastic bottles for water or other drinks;
Acrylic paints (yellow, green and Brown color);
Paint brush;
Black marker;
Finishing knife or scissors;
Hot glue gun;
Bamboo sticks for plant garters (it is cheaper to buy a package immediately).

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

1. Carefully remove all labels from bottles. We also removed the plastic rings from the neck 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 groove - this will make the cut 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. Paint two whole bottles with yellow acrylic paint. Color the third bottle - the one from which you cut off the base - green. Paint the outside of the base of the bottle, on which you drew the dots earlier, brown. We painted everything in two coats and after applying the final coat we left the details 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 the petals and leaves of a sunflower). Leave 3.5-4cm uncut from the top of the bottles. To make the 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 reveal the flower.

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

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

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

10. Finally, place the bamboo stick in the bottom of the flower (in the neck of the bottom bottle) and glue it with a heat gun.
One sunflower is ready. Likewise, you can make as many colors as you like. Decorate your garden, lawn or flowerbed under the window with them. In addition, you can find and watch a video of a master class 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 time gradually, as empty bottles appear and free time, and with the onset of warm weather, "plant" on the dacha or the plot adjacent to the house immediately a large number of colorful picturesque hand-made plants.

DIY sunflowers will certainly captivate every child. Sunflowers are bright, expressive flowers that retain their attractiveness even after the fruits appear in them - seeds beloved by children and adults.
It is not surprising that these plants attract attention and 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.

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

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

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

Sunflower drawing

When drawing its core, you can use various round-shaped improvised objects - 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. See what a wonderful sunflower you can paint 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!

By 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, original leaves are obtained from children's handprints made with green paint. With handprints, you can draw the flower itself, using yellow paint for this.

Sunflower application

Such a pattern will be decorated with sunflower seeds glued to the core. There are also various techniques for working with the applique. For example, you can take a disposable white paper plate as a basis for creating a voluminous flower. We glue a green cardboard stem and leaf to it, and inside we distribute yellow pointed petals in a circle. Pour seeds into the center of the plate - you're done! The children will be happy to enjoy a treat from such a craft.

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

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, crush each of them into a lump and glue it into a previously drawn contour of a sunflower.

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

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

Cut out oblong leaves from the newspaper and paint them yellow. Decorate the brown center with black beads. We glue a green stem with a leaf.

Another option for the execution of a sunflower, make it in the form of a picture of buttons.

Button painting "sunflower"

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

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

Mater yal: - garbage bags yellow color for 50 liters - 1 roll;

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

Sewing machine;

Threads in black and yellow;

Scissors, ruler, pen, chalk.

Expand the roll of bags (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. two rows (13 - 14 pcs. for each row) and 5.5 cm for sunflowers with centers with a diameter of 20 to 25 cm 32-34 pcs. two rows (16 - 17 pcs. for each row).

Bottom of stripes (with a blue stripe) cut by about 5 cm (we won't need this part)... Here's what we should get.

We unfold the blanks and fold them in half.

Tie the middle of the strip with a knot.

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

The front side of the petals will look like this.:

Sew the finished petals of the first row to the middle - the filter (felt, slightly smoothening the middle of the petal for volume (we use black threads).

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

Draw the middle of the flower with chalk.

Sewing Zig-zag yellow threads.

On the reverse side, the flower looks aesthetically pleasing.

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

We spread the petals and admire our sunflowers!

Folded flowers are convenient for storage: compact, take up a minimum of space, and if necessary, they can even be washed. To create these five sunflowers it only took me two evenings!

If you want to decorate your garden with a sunflower that will never fade - then watch this simple master class and create imperishable beauty with your own hands!

To make such a wonderful, sunny flower, you will need:

two and one and a half liter plastic bottles (about fifteen transparent, one brown and two green);
a radio-technical soldering iron with a thin tip, or, as its substitute, a set of devices consisting of a gas torch, a long nail and pliers;
old kitchen or tailor scissors;
coil fine copper wire;
tea saucer;
a set of acrylic paints;
stationery knife;
drawing brush.

Progress

For a transparent bottle, cut off the bottom and the neck. Cut the remaining plastic cylinder lengthwise and unfold it into one rectangular sheet. Using the saucer as a template, cut a round blank from the middle of the bottle and make one radial cut through it.

Preheat a soldering iron, or pinch the head of the nail with pliers and heat the end of it in a gas burner flame. Slide the edges of the cut on the round workpiece so that they overlap, tightly clamp the junction and pierce both PVC surfaces with a soldering iron tip (or nail). After 2-3 seconds, when the edges of the holes are melted and welded together, remove the sting and check the strength of the connection. To securely fasten the edges of the cut, fix them in 2-3 more places.

Cut the semi-finished sunflower corolla leaves from the tops of the clear plastic bottles. To make the petals a beautifully curved shape, use that part of the plastic container for their manufacture where it begins to taper sharply towards the neck. To do this, separate the bottom and the screw neck from the bottle, and cut the remaining cup-shaped blank into 6 segments 13-15 cm long each. Use scissors to shape the segments into pointed petals with a wide center and narrow base.

Do a similar operation with 2-3 more bottles, and in the end you will have 18 or 24 petals of the lower level, but this is not the end of the work on the production of corolla leaves - in order for the sunflower to turn out lush and beautiful, it must be equipped with three rows of petals. Therefore, before proceeding with the assembly of the flower, use the same technology to make semi-finished leaves of the 2nd and 3rd tiers (their length should be 11 and 7 cm, respectively).

Having expanded the blanks of the petals in size, turn on the soldering iron and, when it warms up well, start using it (in the way described in the first paragraph of the instructions) to attach the leaves to inner surface round cone-shaped core.

First, form the first row of the petals turned outward. To do this, attach the leaves to the outer edge of the core, placing them in a circle close to one to one and fixing them in a given position with 2-4 touches of the soldering iron tip.

Cover the finished row of petals with golden yellow paint, when it dries, glue the second tier (this time already bent inward) leaves on the middle of the sunflower. Attach this row a little closer to the center of the workpiece - this way it will cover the mounting holes of the previous level.

After completing the formation of the second tier, paint it yellow, and similarly make the third row of petals.

Using the same saucer, cut out two more plastic mugs - one green and the other brown. Cut the green circle to the middle, fold it in a funnel, put the resulting cone-shaped workpiece on the back of the rim and fasten them together in 3-5 places with a soldering iron.

From the upper part of the green vessel (the one with the neck), make the base of the sunflower - a receptacle with sepals. To do this, make 5 cuts on the sides of the bottle and sharpen the edges of the segments, giving them a triangular-convex shape.

Attach the receptacle to the wrong side of the corolla, and at equal distances from the center with a soldering iron tip, make two small punctures through both parts.
Pull a wire through the holes formed, bring its ends to the back of the sunflower, tie them there with a tight knot and wrap the remaining excess around the screw part of the bottleneck.

Unfold the flower facing you, put a brown blank on its core and weld it to the edges of the cone with 3-4 touches of a soldering iron.

For more plausibility, cover the middle of the sunflower with black paint, and on top of it, draw concentric rows of seeds with brown and dark yellow dots.

Secure the flower on a stick and set it up in your garden.

Surely, every craftswoman always wanted to make some kind of interior item with her own hands. But how to do it so 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 certainly be found in the household box of every needlewoman, with our own hands.

First, we propose to make sunflowers from plastic bottles, which are always at hand. Such flowers are perfect for decorating a summer cottage, a flower bed or a playground, as they can 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 such sunflowers you will need:

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

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

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 piece is ready. But to create a full-fledged sunflower, we need as many as three such blanks.

If you do 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 using Dragon glue. The workpiece with a neck should be the last, because in the future, it will be possible to attach to it a stem and material 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 made very easily and quickly, but look just great.

For work you will need:

pumpkin seeds;
onion seeds;
old CD;
glue;
paper;
thermo gun;
scissors;
acrylic paints;
brush;
colorless spray varnish.

So let's get started. First, we glue 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 around the disk, with sharp noses up.

We paint over the seeds with yellow paint and let them dry for a while. Then we coat the middle well 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 parts. 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 with them anything you want. Often, they are used in ladies' jewelry, and sometimes in the manufacture of topiary and various floral arrangements.

And now, we offer you detailed master 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 cloth;
thermo gun;
coffee beans.

We start work by creating petals. To do this, cut the yellow tape into 13 cm long pieces and fold them in the middle at an angle of 90 °.

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

We connect the lower tips of the petal to each other and solder it 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 should be 20 cm. We need 3 pieces of such leaves.

For the leaves of the lower cap of the sunflower, we cut the green centimeter tape into segments 14 cm long.Further, 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 to each other over the candle flame.

Next, we cut out a circle with a diameter of 12 cm from cardboard and cover it with a green cloth, collecting around its circumference on a thread. For reliability, we glue it.
now we move on to attaching the petals. First, evenly glue the green narrow leaves, and then 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. We glue the finished center into the sunflower. The flower is ready, if you wish, you can make a stem from a wire of a suitable size wrapped in green tape.
