Plastic bottles - inexpensive material, moreover, easily accessible. In addition to their main purpose, they can perform many other functions. For example, you can make real masterpieces - DIY crafts from plastic bottles. Moreover, they will serve for a very long time; during the creative process they can be easily bent or cut. The main thing that is needed to make crafts from plastic bottles is to prepare empty containers.
You probably have a question: what can be made from a plastic bottle? Most interesting options are described below.
Making a plastic palm tree
The scheme for creating a palm tree is similar to creating various trees made of plastic. You need bottles, scissors, and paint.
For the palm tree you will need the middle and lower parts of a dark container color.
Insert the same part into the lower part (with the bottom) until you get the desired height. String the parts onto a wire passing through the neck, and attach the green neck to the top of the tree - without a bottom. After this, cut identical green strips and tilt them down.
If you make several of these palm trees, your Agrosad will be one of the most unique, and made with your own hands!
Butterflies
Crafts made from plastic bottles will look very original and decorate any gazebo.
To make such a masterpiece of art, the middle part of the bottle is cut out. First, a blank is made from cardboard - butterfly wings. Then you simply apply them to the plastic to cut out the desired shape along the edges. The wire is attached along the bend line. And the “butterfly body” itself is decorated with beads different sizes. Paint the wings of your butterfly with absolutely any colors of acrylic paints.
Such flower beds can be seen not only in summer cottages. They are also made within the city, near high-rise buildings and private houses.
Bottles are selected identical in shape, size and color. If desired and possible, you can decorate them as soon as you want. Next, create a flowerbed fence by digging the bottles to a certain depth.
Flower pots
Among other things, bottles can be used to make flower pots. Cut the bottom of the container and get a flowerpot cylindrical. Using the top of the container, create a cone-shaped plant pot. In addition, the resulting pots can be decorated using corrugated paper, fabric, yarn or decorated with paints.
Beforehand or during the work process, you can slightly warm up the plastic. So you can create any shape for it.
What else can you make from a plastic bottle?
DIY gazebo for the dacha
Create a gazebo from plastic containers not that difficult, for which you need a lot of material and original thinking.
To make your structure more reliable, fill the bottles with earth/sand. To make a frame, there is no need to overload it at all. And to decorate the sides of the gazebo, you can use different fabrics.
Plastic curtains are an original decoration!
This solution is interesting and original. In addition, you can always see all the new items in our DIY garden crafts! You can use curtains on a doorway/window. Need to prepare a large number of material. Everything here is individual and depends on the size of the window/doorway.
Hello, dear readers! Did you know that you can make a lot of interesting and useful things yourself from the simplest plastic bottles? Besides reuse materials are zealously welcomed by environmentalists, so in this way we will “kill” several birds with one stone, create really interesting things, and also save nature (probably everyone knows, according to scientists, that plastic bottles take more than 100 years to decompose). Well, let's move on directly to the practical part...
What to make from plastic bottles
1. Garland
We take a bottle, cut off the bottom, create a hole in the middle of the bottle bottom, so that the garland light bulb fits into it. According to this scheme, we prepare the required number of “lampshades”, in each of which we attach garland bulbs.
2. Pots
Take the bottle and cut one side stationery knife rectangular hole. Thus, we prepare the required number of bottle pots, stock up on rope, create punctures on the side of the neck and bottom, into which we thread the rope, and secure the rope from below with special clamps - crimps (these can be purchased at handicraft departments or sewing studios) or tie knots. All that remains is to fill the resulting pots with soil and plant flowers.
3. Jewelry stand
We cut off the bottoms of several bottles of different sizes. We drill a hole in the center of the cut bottoms (the hole should correspond to the thickness of the rod). After which we take metal rod and string bottoms onto it, each of which is secured with nuts set on hot-melt adhesive. Attention: the base of the stand must be stable, so it is better to take a 2 liter bottom. bottles, which we install upside down in the future composition.
4. Flowers from plastic bottles.
The bottles in question make beautiful flowers; you can learn how to make such flowers from the video.
5. Box.
We cut off the bottoms of identical bottles, 6 cm high, and inside sew on the zipper by hand.
6. Curtains made from plastic bottles.
A wonderful decoration country house or outdoor gazebo Such interesting curtains will serve. You can see how to make such curtains, as well as additional photos.
7. Jellyfish.
We cut off the bottom of the bottle and melt it with a lighter or a lit candle. We make a hole in the center of the bottom into which we attach pre-cut strips from the rest of the bottle using hot glue. Finally, the resulting strips can also be melted with a lighter.
8. Bird feeder.
We continue the topic of “using plastic bottles”... Take a bottle and two wooden spoons, we do it in a bottle through holes, corresponding to the thickness of the spoon. We insert spoons into the resulting holes, and from the “shovel” side, a little higher, we create another hole through which the birdseed will pour out. We fix a self-tapping ring in the bottle cap and thread a rope through it.
9. Organizer.
We cut the bottles in half and fasten the blanks to the wall with nails or self-tapping screws.
10. Volumetric printing.
The bottom of a bottle, immersed in paint, can create interesting flower prints, so in in this example You can see the magnificent Sakura branch!
11. Boat.
Particularly creative people tried their best and made such an interesting means of transportation on water.
12. Candlesticks and holders.
Cut off the necks of the bottles. We install one part with its neck up, and the other with its neck down, and to keep the structure in place, we install a candle in the stand. Thus, the upper neck will act as a “collector” of drops of the melting candle.
It would seem that a plastic bottle is such an ordinary thing, but once upon a time it was worth its weight in gold - our grandparents carefully stacked the precious container on the balcony to use instead of a milk can or a jar for storing compote. Nowadays PVC bottles are a dime a dozen, so humanity has become thoughtful, because soon, due to plastic containers, there will be nowhere to step. How to use all this abundance of plastic for good? The most amazing ideas using the costs of the food and chemical industries are floating islands and huge installations, residential buildings and energy-saving systems created from a lot of unnecessary plastic containers. We invite you to join the global plastic bottle boom. Evaluate the original garden crafts from waste packaging that we offer you as an ideological basis for further creativity on the path to creating an amazing and unusual country house design.
The burning problem of all summer residents is the construction of a house and auxiliary buildings on a garden plot in conditions small area land and limited funds. In addition, the seasonal purpose of the dacha does not imply the construction of permanent structures “for centuries”.
So, enterprising people decided to use a prosaic plastic bottle as a building material. The walls of houses, gazebos, greenhouses, and other garden structures are laid out traditionally - in a checkerboard pattern using cement mortar, only instead of bricks, unnecessary plastic containers filled with sand are used.
To support this not entirely familiar eco-style, you can make a variety of crafts from bottles for the garden so that the design of the site is decided in a single key. Let's look in detail at how you can make your life simpler and more comfortable with the help of PVC containers.
Country house
Despite the apparent simplicity of constructing a building from plastic containers, there are some nuances that you need to consider if you decide to build country house with my own hands. Here are a couple of useful tips:
- Place a reinforcing mesh between the rows of masonry - the adhesion of the solution to the surface of the bottle will improve.
- Do not forget that plastic does not come into contact with cement like brick, so make small holes in the container - this way the solution will begin to interact with the sand inside the bottle and the wall will become stronger.
- During masonry work, secure the bottles with rope or wire so that the rows do not move apart.
Please note that plastic tends to deteriorate under the influence of frost and heat, especially from temperature changes, so be prepared that after some time - 5-10 years, the walls of the building will begin the “countdown”.
Using PVC bottles as a building material, you can build an economical house in the country
The cylindrical shape of plastic bottles allows you to build houses and gazebos that are round in plan
In addition to the supporting structure of the house from plastic containers, this universal construction material, as it turned out, can be used for roofing work. We offer you two options for roofing from used PVC containers:
- Plastic tiles. To make this simple roofing plastic bottles need to be compressed. If this process is carried out without slightly heating the plastic, the container will simply crack, so the easiest way is to lay the raw material out in the sun and then flatten the containers. Installation of PVC modules is carried out using ordinary self-tapping screws to the frame with laying of the material in several layers. From such tiles you can easily form a cone-shaped roof for a gazebo or bathhouse.
- Plastic slate. From the cylindrical part of a plastic bottle it is quite easy to make something like a slate covering for a roof. To do this, you need to cut off the bottom and neck of the container, cut the middle part of the container lengthwise and in half, and connect the resulting PVC elements with glue, forming a wavy surface.
If you decide to build a house made of wood, brick, or there is already a residential building on your summer cottage, pick up a plastic bottle and show your imagination - decorate the facade unusual decor from plastic stoppers. Complex geometric pattern, floral pattern or slightly naive “cartoon” animals - choose any style that suits your spirit.
It is quite easy to make a roof for a summer house from plastic bottles - either in the form of tiles or like slate
Bright plastic lids from used containers will give the facade of a country house an expressive color
Decor made from bottle caps for the facade of a country house will give the building individuality
Gazebos, greenhouses, pergolas
The most rational use of plastic bottles for the garden is not only crafts designed to decorate it, but also more significant things, for example, greenhouses or. Why buy expensive polycarbonate to build a greenhouse if the PVC from which the containers are made is practically the same material?
Why equip a greenhouse with glass that is even more expensive than laminated plastic if there are unnecessary bottles? Refracting Sun rays, PVC containers perform the same tasks as glass and polycarbonate, moreover, they are the most economical option for the construction of a greenhouse, whichever one can find.
An economical option for arranging a gazebo or greenhouse in the country - building from plastic bottles
If you are bored with the traditional rectangular gazebo, make it in the form of a hemisphere using a metal frame and plastic bottles
Having built a frame of wood or metal, arm yourself with a hot knitting needle, drill or hammer with nails. One way is to make holes in the bottom and cap of a plastic bottle and place the plastic containers on a fishing line or wire, the length of which will be slightly greater than the height of the building. Stretch the resulting elements and secure them to the cross members of the frame - this way you will form the walls of a greenhouse or gazebo. Additionally, you can fix the vertical modules in the transverse direction by tying the bottles within one row with wire. Using containers different color, try to create some kind of ornament - this way you will diversify the colorless mass of walls made of transparent plastic.
What else can you build from plastic bottles for your garden? The easiest to build small version architectural form from plastic bottles in the garden - a lightweight gazebo - which usually serves as a frame for climbing plants. However, despite the fact that in spring and summer the pergola structure will be hidden by climbing roses or ivy, in winter its frame will be exposed and will not look very good. To avoid this phenomenon, you can decorate the pergola structure with plastic bottles natural shade– brown or green. The brownish colors of PVC vaguely resemble wood, while the grassy colors will enliven the appearance of the garden in the cold season.
Fences, railings, gates
You can save a lot of money if you use plastic bottles for fencing. garden plot. Using the same principle that was described in the construction of the gazebo, instead of corrugated sheeting, chain-link mesh or polycarbonate, use plastic containers to fill the space between the fence posts.
With a little creativity and diligence, the border of your garden will become not only impassable, but also extravagant and eye-catching. If the fence has already been erected earlier, it will give a new sound floral decor from plastic bottles - the most natural option for the garden.
To support country houses made of plastic bottles, build a fence using the same containers for the integrity of the landscape design
Multi-colored flowers cut from plastic bottles will refresh and decorate old fence or country house
Carport
The eternal problem of car owners is allocating space for plot of land for parking a car or several vehicles - bicycles, scooters or ATVs. The design of a compact private or country house does not always include space for a car, so there is a need to build a separate garage or shed. The construction of these structures is expensive and beyond the means of many, so the car sits under the scorching sun, exposed to the winds, rain and snow. Ordinary plastic bottles come to the rescue in this situation - waste, useless containers that allow you to experiment without fear, without fear of spoiling the building material. If something doesn’t work out and the bottle becomes unusable, you can always take another one and not lose a penny.
Material about parking options for a car in the country will also be useful:
A carport made from plastic bottles will not only fulfill its immediate function, but will also contribute original accent into the country landscape
So, from plastic bottles you can form a plastic structure, unusual in its configuration and performing several functions at once - it will create a protective plane from precipitation, sun and, at the same time, decorate your garden. There is nothing complicated about forming a canopy from bottles - it can easily be made with your own hands.
First, you need to make through holes in plastic containers, or rather, it is best to burn them with a hot rod, and then put the bottles on fishing line, rope or wire, connecting them in rows. Sequences of bottles are fastened together by perpendicular connections through another pair of holes and the previously selected material for “firmware”. Thus, a movable surface is obtained, reminiscent of “bottle fabric”, which remains to be attached to a metal or wooden frame using hangers different lengths to create a wavy effect.
It is important to know! Considering that a plastic bottle is a kind of lens that refracts light in the same way as glass, it is advisable to paint the bottom of the container to block direct sunlight.
Useful devices for the garden
solar collector
Surely you have come across the fact that at the dacha there is no central water supply, you didn’t have time to get a boiler, and after a hard day of caring for the garden, you really want to take a wash rather than an ice-cold shower warm water. We invite you to try making it for your site Summer shower with an energy-saving system - a solar collector made of PVC bottles. The principle of operation of such water heating is based on the so-called “thermosyphon” - denser hot water moves upward, less dense cold water moves downward. The developer of the system, a Brazilian engineer who received a patent for the invention, claims that 1 m 2 solar panel will be enough for 1 person to bathe.
You can assemble a solar panel from plastic bottles and forget about ice-cold water in a summer shower
Cold water entering the solar collector from the tank returns back already heated
Consumables and tools for making a collector from plastic bottles:
- 2-liter plastic bottles – 60 pcs.;
- 1-liter milk cartons – 50 pcs.;
- PVC pipe 100 mm – 70 cm;
- PVC pipe 20 mm – 11.7 m;
- PVC corner 20 mm – 4 pcs.;
- Tee 20 mm PVC – 20 pcs.;
- Plugs 20 mm PVC – 2 pcs.;
- PVC glue;
- Matte black paint;
- Brush;
- Emery;
- Scotch;
- Rubber hammer, wood jigsaw.
Plastic bottles need to cut off the bottom and insert one into the other. 100mm PVC pipes are used to form rectangular frame solar panel, 20 mm pipes are cut into sections of 10x1 m and 20x8.5 cm and assembled into a single structure using tees. Black paint is applied to meter-long sections of pipe and milk cartons, which are placed under bottles to improve heat absorption.
Solar panels made from plastic bottles should be located at least 30 cm below the water storage tank on the south side of the wall or roof. To optimize heat absorption, the panels should be installed at an angle, which is calculated as follows: add 10° to your latitude. It is recommended to replace plastic bottles in panels with new ones every 5 years, since after some time the plastic becomes opaque, and this reduces its thermal conductivity.
Another energy-saving idea came to us from hot Brazil called “1 liter of light”. The essence of this engineering idea in terms of how to illuminate a room without windows on a sunny day is striking in its simplicity - you just need to hermetically integrate a plastic bottle into the roof - not empty, but with water. It is water, refracting the rays of the sun, that will fill the room without natural light bright light.
By filling a plastic bottle with water and sticking it into the roof of your house, you will always have a bright source of light in rooms without natural light.
Growing and watering plants
Plastic bottles will be useful in the garden not only for buildings or decoration, but also directly in growing plants, flowers and vegetables. By cutting a hole in the container and filling it with soil, you can use a plastic container to grow seedlings. Just remember to drill holes in your newly made pots for drainage and take care to drain the water.
Glue corks to a plastic bottle - you will get funny little people instead of boring pots for growing seedlings
Containers for growing plants can be given a little color by painting them with stained glass paints or decorating them with bottle caps. If your dacha is small in area, try creating vertical gardening– hang plastic pots from bottles on a fishing line under the wall. This way you will decorate a dull, featureless surface and save space.
To create pots for seedlings and flowers, not only plastic drink bottles are suitable, but also multi-colored containers left over from using household chemicals
Make multiple holes in a plastic bottle - this will allow you to get a device for drip irrigation
PVC bottles can also serve you well when watering your garden; if you poke miniature holes in the bottom of the bottle and attach the container to a hose, you'll have a nice drip irrigation tool. By equipping a homemade water sprayer from a bottle with wheels from an old children's car or stroller, you can move the watering machine around the garden.
Furniture for garden and home
A lot of trouble for summer residents is caused by caring for furniture in garden house and on the street - constant proximity to the ground negatively affects appearance sofas, beds and armchairs. Having built country furniture from plastic bottles, you will forget about what sloppy upholstery is, which is so difficult to put in order outside the city, far from service centers and dry cleaners. The containers and corks themselves are a unique material for making furniture with your own hands - durable and easy to care for.

Garden lamps
Lighting fixtures for a garden plot are another expense column that gardeners often ignore. With a plastic bottle, the lighting problem is solved in a minute. Take a colored canister of household chemicals, cut off the neck and tuck a socket with a light bulb inside - the lamp for the dacha is ready. Create a more complex lampshade configuration by deforming plastic bottles by heating, melting the edges and painting various colors. Original lamps made from PVC containers will perfectly replace industrial analogues, and will also decorate your home and garden.
To create original design lamps for the dacha, it is enough to paint them with stained glass paints or slightly deform them
Plastic bottles can be used to make unusual street lamps for your dacha - both electric lamps and candles serve as the light source.
Landscape decor from plastic bottles
When creating garden decorations from plastic bottles, everything is used - the entire container, the bottom and neck, the middle part and cut out fragments, and the corks are especially popular. They make very expressive decor for the garden - paths and decoration of empty areas of the house or fence. Another unforgettable decoration of the site can be installations made of PVC containers - three-dimensional and planar figures of animals and plants. Flowerbeds and borders limiting planting different types flowers, can be successfully made from the same plastic containers. And so that your ears are always delighted by the singing of birds, hang feeders and water bowls for birds on the trees, made with your own hands from PVC bottles.
Multi-colored plastic bottle caps serve as an excellent material for creating planar compositions in a country landscape.
Examples of flower beds
Without a doubt, the main decoration summer cottage- these are flowers formed into flower beds or growing in a picturesque disorder. The flowerbed is given a special “edge” by low borders that outline its shape and add completeness to the flower arrangement.
In the absence of stone or brick, traditionally used to form a border, bury plastic bottles with the neck down along the border of the flowerbed - you will get a simple fence for flower planting. Good decision for shady areas of the garden plot where nothing wants to grow - original flower beds from PVC containers of various shapes and colors.
Use a flower bed made from plastic bottles to create shady or wetlands in your garden.

Garden paths
Gasket issue garden paths It’s always not easy - you need to strengthen the soil and buy decorative material - as a result, you end up with a considerable amount of money. And I don’t want to walk through the mud. While you're accumulating cash and are looking at covering paths, we offer you a temporary option for arranging them at minimal cost. Fill the paths at the dacha thin layer cement mortar and immerse plastic bottle caps in it - due to the corrugation along the side plane, they will be well fixed in the mortar.
A prosaic cement path can be transformed into a picturesque mural thanks to multi-colored plastic covers
Decorative installations
Quite a popular decorating trend garden landscape– creation of three-dimensional installations from various available materials, including plastic containers. However, here you need a lot of skill and patience, because you need to lay out either whole containers or parts cut out of them according to a certain pattern.
The most expressive decor for a garden landscape is voluminous installations made from plastic bottles
We suggest you make a not very complicated installation from plastic bottles in the form of a New Year tree at your dacha. Although New Year still far away, as they say, prepare your sleigh in the summer - think in advance about. Of course, the Christmas tree is the main attribute winter holiday, without which it is impossible to create a truly upbeat, New Year's atmosphere. What if there are no coniferous trees on your site, and you do not welcome traditional logging on the eve of the New Year? An excellent solution in its simplicity and environmental friendliness is to create a Christmas tree from plastic bottles.
The basis of such a composition is a rigid rod from which bottles can be hung or put on a wire and twisted, tiers can be created from circles, auxiliary supports can be tied or installed and a tent-shaped tree can be formed.
It is not necessary to make a Christmas tree from plastic bottles of a standard green color - it can be assembled from containers in any shade
Whole plastic bottles, bottoms, and cut container parts will be used. The bottles themselves can be deformed, melted, painted in unusual colors– in general, there is room for imagination and ingenuity to run wild. Don’t discount bottle caps either – they will make unusual garlands and miniature decor.

Boats and watercraft
Surely there is a river flowing nearby your garden plot or there is a lake. If so, then your vacation on the shore of a reservoir will become more exciting if you have a means of transportation on the water. Getting to a deserted island, going on a boat trip or fishing - nothing is easier when you have a boat. You can easily build this simple transport from plastic bottles.
A narrow boat like an Indian pirogue with a capacity of 1-2 people or a larger boat for 3-4 passengers - there are a lot of options. The simplest watercraft is a rectangular raft, from which it is convenient to fish by sailing a little from the shore.
Plastic bottles will make a boat or raft that is quite stable on the water.
To make a boat in the form of a kayak, cut off the bottom of the bottles, thread one into the other one after another and form something like long tubes. Cover the joints with furniture tape - it is wide and will not come off when in contact with water. From separate tubes, connecting them together, glue the sides and bottom of the boat with the same tape to get a wedge-shaped shape. Here it is important to correctly calculate the ratio of the width of the vessel and its height - trial launches and a little engineering will help you in order to turn a mountain of unnecessary packaging into a useful thing.
A non-trivial approach to decorating a pond at the dacha - delicate daisies from bottles on the surface of the water
More complex design on a boat for the whole family, which involves connecting vertically standing bottles in two rows and additionally sealing the hull of the vessel with bags. There is nothing stopping you from installing a motor on the boat, which will significantly improve its performance and range.
