  • 1.5 liter plastic bottles – 24 pieces;
  • scotch;
  • scissors;
  • wooden box for vegetables;
  • knife;
  • unnecessary sweater;
  • foam;
  • a piece of fur;
  • threads;
  • needle.

How to make an ottoman from plastic bottles

The required number of plastic bottles is divided in half, the top part with the cork is cut off from half of them and thrown away. The remaining lower blank is put on the whole bottle. There are 12 such parts assembled. Now three parts are fastened to each other with adhesive tape, you should get 4 rectangular blanks.

Next, prepare a cover for the high chair from any disused sweater.The upper part with sleeves is cut off, and the lower part is put on the chair.

A rectangle with sides of 30 and 40 cm is cut out of a piece of foam rubber of any desired thickness. To cover the seat, a piece of fur measuring 46*56 cm is cut out. At the corners, the fur is cut out at right angles and sewn together, as shown in the photograph. The prepared cover is put on the foam rubber and placed on the chair. At the corners, the pad is attached to the sweater fabric with a thread and a needle.

    I heard that you can create a raft from plastic bottles. But the soft chair.....I'll have to try it.

    Ella, I once almost drowned in a lake, and they pulled me out with just such a raft. If not all of it was made from bottles, then some of the greater part was. I remembered it, even in difficult times.
