To Do something with their hands is always nice. Especially when loved ones just in awe of the product that happened. In our days it has become popular to invent a variety of shapes of plastic bottles. They look very unusual, interesting and we spend minimal amount of cash. Quite popular are water lilies from plastic bottles. They will look harmoniously in your home pond or simply as a decorative element of garden rooms, porches.

Materials and getting started

What do we need in order to make our crafts out of plastic bottles? Water lilies can be drawn from this set of available materials (for one flower):

• Three bottles-one 1.5 l and two 2 l;
• Scissors; 
• Cap from a bottle;
• Paint (preferably the spray).

So, cut the bottle in the following way: the first two-liter below the middle, the second is above the middle, a-liter - slightly above the middle. In this paper we will use the upper part of the bottle, with neck. Should get products of approximately the same diameter as in the end we will collect with each other. Thus, we found three blanks. 

Begin the basic work. Cut the petals, leaving up to the neck about 5 cm distance between the petals should be small, then cut off the neck - it will be a DIY basis. Next you need to try on, to put on the lower portion of the preform at the neck, and then you need to slightly bend each petal of the flower. Water Lily from a plastic bottle will begin to acquire the form of the future finished product. The other two blanks you should repeat the same. Note that the smallest (1.5 l bottle) no need to bend the petals. Thus, we come to the final stage.

Procurement for parts must be painted in yellow and twist together (done after complete drying). The core is inserted into the neck of the lilies and fix super glue or silicone. Water Lily from a plastic bottle to this stage should already be painted white (or leave it completely transparent, then serdtsevinka also painting is not necessary).
