Plastic treated with the flame of a gas burner or match takes on the appearance of glass. Of course, large details cannot be thoroughly transformed, but the flowers turn out to be real works of art.
The presented napkin holder in the form of a jug is made from waste material - the remains of plastic bottles.
The product will require about 40 minutes. For work we prepare:
- scissors,
- Super glue,
- tops and bases of multi-colored plastic bottles (1.5 l),
- matches (gas burner).
First, connect the top part of the brown bottle to the green bottom part. To prevent the elements from falling apart, we will treat the contact points with superglue. Two or three drops of clear glue applied at different points is sufficient.
In advance, cut a ring up to 1 cm wide from any bottle and divide it into 2 equal halves. One of the halves will be used as a napkin holder handle. Immediately bend the ends of the strip - the handles.
We have narrow triangles made of green plastic. Left over from previous crafts when we cut weed out of bottles.
We bring the top and base of the triangle to the flame of a gas burner, candle or match, and we will get melted edges with interesting curls.
To make a curly handle for a napkin holder, we will also work with fire. We bend the plastic in the direction we need, and bring the flame to the conditional bend line. The plastic is deformed, taking the shape we need.
The handle and petals are ready.
This is the base of the flower. In principle, the petals could have been held together with superglue, but we decided to heat up the sewing needle and pierce the triangles assembled into the flower with it. The plastic melted under the influence of the needle easily stuck together.
Cut a ring from a white bottle. We will divide it into 3-4 parts. We chop each part into strips up to 2 mm wide. Let's treat the ends of the strips with flame. The result was curly curls.
Glue the parts together. We decided to place a pearl in the middle of the flower. However, the center of the flower can simply be sealed with a plastic circle cut from a brown or white bottle.
We literally welded the handle to the jug. To do this, the parts were attached to one another, and the points of contact were melted using a hot needle. All that remains is to glue the flower.
A napkin holder made from plastic bottles is ready. Really, it turned out to be an interesting craft?
Roll the napkins into a tube and place them in a jug. Let's record the result from several positions.
Let's go invite a member of the household for dinner, let's see the reaction.
