From cover

Ladybug from plastic bottles is done most easily from the cap. It is immediately necessary to prepare red, black and white paints. We take a lid from such a container of any size (from 0.5 to 5 liters - everything will do). Paint it red and let it dry. At the next stage, we make a black center line, a muzzle and dots

Black paint. After it dries, decorate the eyes with a brush and white paint. When all this is dry, the plastic bottle ladybug is ready. Now it can be used both as a toy and as a home decoration, in general, at your discretion.

5 liter capacity

To create such a figurine, you need a large container with a capacity of 5 liters. We lay it on one of the side faces. On the underside of the neck, draw a line with a marker parallel to the bottom face along the entire perimeter. That is, starting from the neck, then - along the cone, side face, bottom, next side, on the other side of the cone and return to the starting point. We cut the resulting workpiece along this line. This product is made in the same way as the previously described method, with the only difference that there the ladybug made of plastic bottles was small, and here there will be a large figurine that will become a worthy decoration for your collection plastic crafts. In this case, a lid and a neck are used as a head.

large flower bed

For such a flower bed, we need a set of red, white and black containers. You can make them by coating any container with paint of the corresponding color. It is better to make preliminary calculations and determine the approximate

quantity of raw materials. It is recommended to prepare them 10 percent more so that there is a certain margin. Further, in place of the future flower bed, a round hill is made, the height of which gradually increases from the edge to the center. Black containers are buried around the entire perimeter of the circle with the lids down and the bottom up. Then (strictly in the middle) you need to make a straight line of the same color in the same way. Using the same buried white bottles, we make eyes. The rest of the muzzle is filled with containers with black color. The remaining part is decorated with red paint, while not forgetting about the stains. They are made from single black bottles. Then a ladybug from a butyloksdelane. This piece will make a great addition to any garden.

Ladybug from a plastic bottle can be made in a variety of ways. For example, you can make a large flower bed in the form of this insect, several figurines in the garden, or other crafts. In this article, we will consider the most popular ways to make this craft.

Flower bed in the form of a ladybug

To make an overall bright flower bed, you will need plastic bottles with the same volume, which is selected individually, depending on what size the flower bed is planned to be made. You will also need acrylic red black and red. To decorate the finished flower bed, you will need sand and stones. It is also worth having a clerical knife, scissors and paint brushes available.

Before you make a flower bed, you need to cut blanks from prepared bottles. These should be halves or thirds of the containers. They are painted in a certain color depending on the location in the flower bed.

While the blanks are drying, the base of the flower bed is being made: a slightly elongated circle is outlined on the ground and lined with stones. Sand is poured inside, forming a kind of pillow. It marks the back of the insect, which will determine the location of the wings and head. In accordance with the marked pattern, already dried plastic blanks are laid out in compliance with the color finding.

Important! The sand cushion should be poured with plenty of water before laying out the blanks.

Thus, if the drawing is laid out carefully, you will get a mosaic of painted bottle bottoms.

If there is not enough space on the site or there is no desire to make a flower bed, you can decorate the trees or the veranda with hanging insects.

You can make these from ordinary bottles or from rounded containers that can be found on the market. For the manufacture, in addition to containers of 1 and 2 liters, you will also need glue, acrylic paints and scissors.

A small bottle will be the body of a ladybug, it should be painted black. You can also make a torso by cutting out the middle from a one and a half liter bottle and connecting the remaining parts together. In order to fix them, the bottom with a neck at the junction is wound with tape or electrical tape. Two wings are cut out of a large bottle and painted bright red. After drying, black dots are added to the wings. Ready-made wings are glued to the body with a thermal gun. Eyes on the finished craft are applied with paint.

Advice! If there is no glue at hand, then you can attach the wings with a furniture stapler.

Wings can also be made with two large plastic spoons, which are also painted red with specks. Such a performance will look the most advantageous.

If you want to make a small ladybug that can be conveniently attached to railings, porch boards, or “planted” on a decorative fence, you will need:

  • two plastic bottles of any color;
  • acrylic paints or spray paints (black, red and white);
  • wire for antennae;
  • reliable glue or construction stapler.

1. Cut out three semi-circles from plastic bottles - two smaller and one larger. On the latter, you need to save the cork (i.e. it will be the top of the bottle, capturing the neck).
2. Paint them with paints - the larger one is black (along with the cork), and the two small ones are red. On the red ones, which will play the role of wings, draw black spots. You can also make a ladybug of a “reverse” color - with black wings and red spots, such insects are also found in nature.
Draw two eyes on the cork with white paint.
3. Unscrew the cork, put two pieces of wire inside and twist the cork, making sure that the "antennae" remain in one specific place (it is better if this is the bottom of the cork, close to the base - so they will not prick anyone even by accident).
4. Attach the wings to the body with glue or a stapler. Wings should start at the very head, i.e. traffic jams. You can make them closed, but a ladybug that looks like it's about to take off will look more spectacular, so place them at an angle to each other with a connection point near the cork.

A small ladybug from a plastic bottle is ready! Now attach it with glue or wire (the second part of the antennae that are now inside the body) wherever you want.
