For most people, a holiday or backyard plot is not just a garden or garden beds, it is also a favorite resting place. Think for yourself: in nature you can relax and fully relax from the bustle of the city. In order to somehow decorate and ennoble a place of rest, people make various beautiful crafts with their own hands to give.
Crafts for the garden, how to create a border for a flower bed or garden beds using plastic bottles
Personal creation of handicrafts will not only allow you to realize your creative abilities, but also attract children to work. Naturally, you can buy ready-made decorations, but how nice it will be to implement your own ideas for the garden with your own hands!
An excellent solution, for example, would be to create a border for a flower bed or a bed of seemingly useless plastic bottles. For this uncomplicated business, you can use both colored and unpainted bottles.
Did you know? You can give any kind to your border.
To install a fence, you need:
- Dig a small trench along a previously marked contour. The width of the trench should be equal to the diameter of the bottles.
- Fill the bottles with sand, earth or rubble and insert them into the trench alternately.
- Bury the bottles in half so that they fit well.
Important! Place the bottles as tightly as possible, do not leave gaps.
As you can see, the work is not difficult at all, but you will have a stable and original fence for a flower bed or bed.
Bee out of the bottle
An excellent decoration for giving will be a plastic bee. To create this decor you will need:
- bottle;
- scissors;
- plastic glass 0.5 l;
- glue, paint and paint brushes;
- insulating tape (black);
- knife and wire.
Important! Use acrylic paints - other types of paint will dry for a long time and worse will fall on the surface of the bottle.
By following the simple instructions, you will get great DIY handicrafts for the garden:
- Cut bee wings out of a plastic cup.
- Insert the wings into the small holes made in advance in the bottle, attaching them with tape.
- Paint the bee's body: paint the bottle in black paint, and after full drying, draw yellow stripes.
- Now proceed to the drawing of the face of your bee. On the bottle cap that is pre-painted in black, paint the eyes with white paints and the mouth with red paints.
- If you wish, draw a contour on the wings.
That's all, your bee is ready. As you can see for yourself, making bees from plastic bottles is no big deal.Bottle lamp
If you have empty glass bottles, do not rush to throw them away. From such a bottle you get a great lamp, especially if it has an unusual shape. To do this, you will need only a little time, accuracy and a few simple materials:
- a bottle (better than a dark color);
- protective glasses;
- drill;
- a small Christmas garland;
- glass cutter and insulating tape.
Having prepared all the materials, you can get to work:
- Unhurriedly, carefully drill a small hole on the side or bottom of the bottle.
- Thread a garland through the hole (only the plug should remain outside the bottle).
- Put the bottle in the right place and plug it in.
Important! Do not close the neck of the bottle. While the garland is running, its lamps will glow, and the hole in the neck will allow them to cool slightly.
How can old tires be used in the garden
Crafts made from tires and plastic bottles can greatly change the usual cottage. If your tires have already served you, and you are thinking of throwing them away, stop immediately. Of the old, already seemingly unnecessary tires, you can make a lot of beautiful things, such as a flower bed, a swan, a stand or furniture. In order to build a beautiful flower bed, take the tire and paint it in some bright, eye-pleasing color. Cut one of the sides. You can make a smooth edge, patterned line, teeth or fringe. Put the resulting flowerbed in the space reserved for it, cover it with soil and fertilizer and plant flowers. As you can see, from the bus you can build various crafts for the garden.
How to modernize a wooden pallet and store garden tools

How to make a swan from the bottle
When choosing which crafts for the garden you want to do with your own hands, be sure to pay attention to the flower swan from the bottles. Swan - a symbol of beauty, grace, grace. In order for such a bird to "float" in your lands, you must:
- Cut a plastic bottle in two. Remember that for planting flowers need to leave most.

- Knead the putty at the location of the future swan.
- Place the bottle on the solution and level it with a spatula.
- With wet hands, shape the neck. Coat the rod starting from the base, glossing over the base itself, that is, the body of your swan. Wind the wet bandage around your neck and press it down with your hands.
- Prepare a grid under the wings, bend it under the wing shape and press it to the side of the swan.
- After the putty has dried, coat the swan wing.
- Bend a piece of the grid and fix it with a solution behind it - it will be a swan tail.
- After the putty has completely dried, apply several coats of white enamel to give the swan color. Draw the beak and eyes. When the paint is dry, paint a swan so that it will please the eye as long as possible.
