How to paste over a plastic bucket. DIY crafts for the garden from mayonnaise buckets: interesting ideas. How to make a planter from an empty mayonnaise bucket

It is pleasant to relax at the dacha, to spend time with loved ones. It is not necessary to invite a landscape designer to refine the available recreation area. You can do it on your own by creating interesting homemade jewelry from practically waste material - empty mayonnaise buckets.

What can be made from unnecessary mayonnaise buckets

Plastic buckets are one of the most affordable materials, but the number of decorations that can be made from them is striking in its variety. They are used to make:

• decorative containers for growing flowers, storing seeds and small garden accessories;
• sculptural compositions;
• borders for flower beds and garden paths;
• lamps;
• bird feeders;
• applications for the fence, wall.

All these crafts are low-cost, and, importantly, they are durable.

Required materials and tools

To make crafts you will need:

• empty mayonnaise buckets;
• waterproof paints of various colors;
• waterproof varnish;
• brushes or sponges;
• glue;
• decor elements.

When making crafts, be sure to take into account the future location of its placement:

• If your product will be located in an open space, then it must be resistant to weather conditions, which means that during the manufacture you need to use materials that do not get wet, do not spread, do not fade. It should be provided that the finished product is varnished.
• If the craft will stand under the roof (on the veranda or in the gazebo), then the range of materials for manufacturing and decoration is wider. In addition to pebbles, plastic, glass, shells, beads, you can use fabric, leather, threads and even paper elements.

Decorative containers

Most often, pots, flowerpots or small elegant containers for storing seeds, berries or fruits, garden accessories are made from mayonnaise buckets. They can be made using various techniques.

Making a flowerpot using the decoupage technique

This technique allows you to create a real work of art from an ordinary plastic bucket and a beautiful paper napkin. Making such a masterpiece is not difficult at all:

1. We process the outer surface of the bucket with sandpaper, and then wipe it with any degreasing agent.
2. Using a sponge, apply white acrylic paint or a primer to the prepared surface.
3. Smooth the surface with the rough side of the dishwashing sponge.
4. We separate the top layer with the pattern from the paper napkin and cut off the elements we need along the contour.

   It is better to pull out the necessary fragments from the napkin, slightly stepping back from the drawing (so the edges will be less noticeable on the product)

5. We apply PVA glue to the surface of the bucket.
6. We apply and gently straighten the napkin details with a brush.

   On a clean, dry surface of the bucket, we apply a napkin and grease with diluted PVA glue, working from the middle to the edges, carefully smoothing out wrinkles and expelling all bubbles

7. If necessary, paint on the necessary background or small details, but we do this after the glue has dried.

   If desired, decoupage is complemented by spraying or other decorative techniques

8. We cover the work with acrylic varnish.
9. You can complete the decoration with beads, buttons, beads or any other suitable material.
10. If you plan to use the resulting flowerpot not as a flowerpot, but directly for planting flowers, do not forget to make drainage holes in the bottom.

It is a mistake to think that things decorated using decoupage technique are suitable only for indoor spaces. If you additionally cover the resulting flowerpot with a waterproof varnish (for example, Tsapon), it will perfectly tolerate the weather troubles of an open space.

Flowerbeds and borders

Under natural conditions, plastic containers decompose within 100 years, so a border or a mosaic-shaped flower bed made of such material will turn out to be durable and practically free. You must first remove the handles from the buckets, and then paint the blanks with waterproof paint:

• when laying out curbs along the line of the path, a furrow is loosened, the width of which corresponds to the diameter of the container. Then, buckets are inserted into the loose earth, bottom up, as tightly as possible to each other.
• when decorating a mosaic flower bed, first choose the plot of the future picture. It can be multi-colored butterflies, bright flowers, panels. On the basis of the conceived drawing, a scheme is made, determined with the number of containers and their colors. A plot of land for a mosaic flower bed is carefully loosened, and then painted buckets are tightly placed in it in accordance with the conceived scheme.

A mosaic made of buckets is made in general in the same way as a mosaic made of bottle caps, but does not require stitching, since its elements are much larger and firmly embedded in the ground

It is easy to make colorful shades for light bulbs from transparent mayonnaise buckets. The containers can be pre-decorated with multi-colored glasses, which are attached to the bucket using universal glue. The bulb holder is fixed in the bottom of the plastic container.

  To make a bell, attach an interesting pendant or tongue to the bucket

  Cover decoration and all additional decor that is suitable for the street, use the same as for the buckets themselves

  Of course, various garden decorations can be purchased at specialized stores. But if you put a little patience and diligence, then original and interesting crafts can be made even from ordinary mayonnaise buckets. You just have to choose an idea and supplement it with your imagination!

Modern design includes a huge number of fantasy human ideas - any means at hand are used. Each house accumulates plastic dishes from various products. Sometimes it is a pity to throw out some of its types - they are so attractive, even empty.

At first, various buckets were used for the kitchen for bulk products or for seedlings. And when it became clear that the decorated bucket was no worse than the factory one, a strange at first glance project appeared called "Crafts for the garden from mayonnaise buckets." The idea was picked up all over the world and for many people turned into an inexpensive and exciting hobby.

So little is needed to implement ideas: plastic buckets and patience.The rest: several types of paint with brushes, a little glue and varnish - all this is usually found in the house. Even decorative things in the form of buttons, shells, glass and pebbles can be found in bedside tables. To make stencils is also within the power of everyone. And a store with a selection of cheap jewelry will help.

Basic technology requirements:

• Determine the purpose of the plastic buckets;
• When used for planting flowers, it is necessary to provide holes at the bottom for soil drainage before decorating;
• If the buckets are in the open air, then it is better to paint them with moisture-resistant paint;
• Before using for pots, you need to pre-strengthen the handles so that they can withstand both the weight of the soil and the plant itself.

It remains to thoroughly wash and dry the bucket with a lid and get to work.

Decorating crafts with wooden clothespins

This craft is very easy to do. For this you need: old wooden clothespins and Moment glue.

• Clothespins are freed from metal fasteners;
• The halves are alternately glued to the bucket.

The resulting design looks complete in this form. It will last a long time in the open air. But if you tie a beautiful belt in the form of a braid or ribbon on the waist of the bucket, and insert a bag of a suitable size with a lace edge outward, then the craft becomes an elegant decoration both in the house and in any gazebo in the garden.

An interesting idea of \u200b\u200bdecorating a craft with whole clothespins. They grab the top in a circle. The bucket gets taller and more functional. The lower part can be decorated in any of the suggested ways.

In the absence of clothespins in the house, wooden branches cut to size are perfect.

If, using this technology, stick ice cream sticks, tie one or two ribbons in a circle, then such a decoration will look like a rustic fence. Flowers can be planted in this pot and used as a casket. Such a fence can be painted with moisture-resistant paints or applications can be glued to it.

Craft trimmed with braid, thick threads or fabric

This craft will be a unique decoration for indoor areas in the garden. In such a container you can put home trinkets, small fruits or seeds.

PVA glue is applied to the bucket and wrapped in a circle with thick braid or thread. The decoration is completed with contrasting color buttons, corks or appliqués.

In such homemade pots, decorated with coarse twine, flowers are also perfectly felt.

The bucket with bright draped fabric over the body also looks great.

Garden lamp

The luminous craft is made only from a transparent plastic bucket. To get such a lamp, you must first glue the walls and bottom with multi-colored glass. You can draw colored drawings of leaves and flowers. An electric light bulb is brought to the finished pot and the invention is hung in the garden from a tree or in a gazebo.

Bell

The small bucket looks like a bell upside down. It remains only to decorate it with paints, colored paper or foil, make a handle and a core with a large bead for it.

These bells will never ring, but will delight both adults and children with brightness. They can be made shiny and hung on garden trees during the Christmas holidays.

Bucket with decoupage

Even children will want to plant flowers in a homemade pot. Decoupage in this case is a great way to decorate. Even those who cannot draw, people will be able to create colorful objects of art:

• acrylic white paint is evenly applied with a sponge to the side surface of the bucket;
• after drying, apply a second layer;
• cut out drawings from multi-layer napkins;
• the top layer is separated and glued to the bucket;
• to fix the pattern, cover with decoupage glue (do this from the center to the edges);
• apply acrylic matte varnish on top in 3-4 layers.

Such a planter solution behaves well both on the street and in the apartment. There is also a method of volumetric decoupage. It uses a modeling paste mixed with sea coarse sand. A little movement of the sculptor - and the masterpiece is ready!

Saw cut decoration

A craft, decorated with wood cuts, can become a real work of art in every summer cottage. For this purpose, the fallen, almost dry branches are collected and sawn into small stumps in the form of buttons. Then they stick the buckets on the surface close to each other.

Craft with a cartoon

Kids love to play in the garden sandbox, and buckets don't always last forever. It is enough for parents to show a little imagination and the child will have several of them at once. A regular plastic mayonnaise bucket is a great solution. Stickers with images of your favorite cartoon characters on the wall of the bucket will give them new life and will delight children from the bottom of their hearts.

Heart Bucket

Draw a heart pattern on paper in accordance with the size of the bucket and cut it out. Glue the heart with a piece of double-sided tape.

Along the edge of the template, create a pattern in the form of drops using any colored nail polish.

The template is removed and the next contours are drawn in turn within the first drawing, each time using a new varnish color.

The number of hearts depends on the gaps between colors.

Such a craft can be made with your own hands as a gift to a loved one on Valentine's Day. Such a craft will perfectly fit into the design of the garden in the form of a flowerpot, and as a pot for indoor flowers.

Lighthouse in the garden

For this structure, you will need four buckets of different capacities. First, they are painted in accordance with the accepted colors for a real lighthouse. Then they build the tower. A small flashlight is attached at the very top.

Birdhouse

The starlings will also love the gift of their own house. All production is reduced to a neat cut and secure fastening of the cover, which will become the floor.

Birds will fly to a delicious treat in the form of grains, they will be attracted by the bright colors of the future home.

What to do with the lids?

You can also make various decorative things from the lids. Flowers are cut out of them, painted and nailed to the fence. They are also used to decorate garden borders. It doesn't require any talent.

Over time, plastic dishes accumulate in every home. Mayonnaise buckets have already been used - hand-made crafts for the garden cannot be distinguished from factory ones. This creativity will be interesting for children as well. It is worth calling them, they will gladly join the process.

Hello dear gardeners! The topic of today's material is interesting to everyone and is always relevant. She is probably familiar to many, but still I hope to surprise you.

Today everything is sold in plastic bottles: water, soft drinks, milk ... Of all the garbage that we collect, the most voluminous bottles are: you put one in the trash bin - and that's it: count half a bucket busy. And what is it like in the country! In many suburban villages, there are simply no garbage containers. There is only one way out: either take all this "good" to the city, to the nearest container, or somehow use something that cannot be recycled in summer cottages.

Logical question: how plastic bottles can be used on the farmto be useful, convenient, and beautiful? Let's talk about this.

By the way, information sheet: plastic decomposes in water from 100 to 500 years (according to various sources and depending on the type of plastic).

We have few factories that recycle waste, so people themselves find interesting applications for simple and seemingly completely unnecessary things.

Plastic bottles in garden decor

If you wish, you can create such beauty - the neighbors will be envious! Do you want to decorate your garden at a low cost? See if your dacha has empty plastic bottles.

Beautiful neat flower beds

Plastic bottles can be used to protect flower beds. The benefits here are obvious: flower beds and beds are not washed out by downpours, they always look neat and pleasing to the eye. In my opinion, it looks great ... How to make such a flower bed?

Of course, you will need a lot of bottles (preferably the same size). We fill them with sand, close them and begin to build a "palisade". The bottles will have to be dug into the ground a little to give them stability. After the flowerbed is fenced, paint the resulting border in any color. In principle, you can do this in advance - as you wish. But it seems to me that it is more convenient to paint a ready-made fence than each bottle separately. And containers made of dark plastic can be left as they are, it also looks nice. For an example of execution and opinions of summer residents on this method of using bottles, see the materials:

Flowers, palms, butterflies and other "tropics"

The beauty is indescribable. Turn on your imagination, wake up your imagination and create all kinds of flowers in your garden that will never fade or rot)).

To make it clearer how to make something out of bottles (for example, flowers), let's look at an example.

What you may need:

• plastic bottles of different colors;
• scissors, awl, thick threads;
• pVA glue and "Master";
• acrylic paints;
• candle;
• wire;
• beads, beads - for decoration.

With the rest, everything is more or less clear, but why a candle? It's simple. We cut off the necks of the bottles. We cut each neck not to the end lengthwise, make 6 petals. Give the petals a rounded shape. We light a candle and scorch each petal to melt a little. First, along the edges, so that they are beautiful and even, and then at the base of the petals, bending them at the same time, giving shape. Plastic forms well when heated.

The stem is best made of thick wire. Stamens are made of thin wire on which you can string beads. It remains only to collect the whole thing, fastening it with glue, using an awl and wire if necessary. Just look what beauty the result is!

Cute animals for the garden

From bottles they just do not. The simplest, perhaps, is this. All you need is to cut and bend the ears, attach a tail and paint beautifully. However, there are crafts and very complicated ones. For example, animals from fairy tales. I will not describe their production step by step, otherwise the article will turn out to be of galactic proportions. I'd rather just show the video from the slides. From the photo, in principle, you can see what and how to do, it's not difficult to figure it out.

How do you like these animals? Looks great in my opinion! And if you involve children in the process, they will be delighted!

The tools used are the same as those listed above. Paints are not necessarily acrylic. But they dry faster, this is a plus. And they hardly smell. True, they are also different.

Air curtains for the garden

These crafts captivated me precisely with their airiness and singularity. I specially collect bottles and make such a curtain in my yard! I think you can use bottles of different sizes.

Mostly the bottoms will come in handy, but you can also cut the leaves! From a distance it is not very clear what these transparent flowers are hanging on, but the more interesting the idea. We look ...

As you can see, you can fasten the flowers with threads, you can glue them to the base (for example, plastic wrap). I think this option is perfect for a gazebo. And it will be light, and the rain will not penetrate. There are a lot of options for curtains from bottles. But I still liked the first one better, didn't you?

Lamps and chandeliers for the garden

Actually, why not? Buying a lamp in the garden is not profitable, just hanging a light bulb is ugly. A lamp made of plastic bottles is an excellent option for illuminating a garden area.

It is not a shame to hang such chandeliers in the house.

The main rule: do not allow plastic parts to come into contact with the light bulb, otherwise they may melt. True, you can use an energy-saving lamp, it heats up less - up to +50 ... + 60 ° C.

Girls! If you don't know how to attach the light bulb itself, leave this matter to your husbands, brothers or fathers ... From you - the creative, from them - the lighting element \u003d)))

Garden path from bottles

I recently wrote about garden paths in an article. But there was nothing about the bottles, only about their caps. It turns out that from the bottoms, a good path is obtained, along which it is pleasant to walk barefoot. note: the bottoms are laid on loose sand, the master must make an effort so that they are filled with sand. This will eliminate their deformation in the future, when you walk on them.

Household supplies from plastic bottles

This is where the expanse is ... If you think that garden decor from bottles is not for you, perhaps you will be interested in useful things that can be made from them.

Washbasins and boxes

The easiest option is to hang the bottle upside down, and when you need to wash your hands, just unscrew the lid a little. It is better to cut the bottom of the bottle and make it removable so that it is more convenient to pour water. There is nothing difficult here, and a child can handle it. Such a washbasin can be hung on a tree or somewhere else. By the way, use this idea when you go to a picnic - it's very convenient, and your hands are always clean.

It is advisable to make the homemade washbasin lockable so that leaves, insects and other debris do not get into the water. There are also more complex designs. You can, for example, cut a hose with a tap into a large bottle. But this is so that it is quite convenient.
And you can make a box from a bottle for bags, napkins or something like that.

Scoops and scapula

Making a scoop with your own hands is as easy as shelling pears. Take a bottle and mark with a marker the shape of the future scoop. The rest is a matter of scissors. Well, or a knife.

Slippers

This is the kind of shoe that wears out pretty quickly. Therefore, durable and beautiful slippers will always come in handy on the farm. No-no, don't think that bottled slippers are just scoops with heels \u003d))). I would like to see it ... Although there are also simple options. For example, this one:

A more complex option looks like this:

Of course, it is not necessary to make such bouquets. But in general, the slippers are excellent. In order not to slip, and the leg feels comfortable, you can experiment with "layers". How to make holes? Yes, even with a hole punch! And if there are men in the house, let them solve this problem.

And also very useful large containers for household needs can be made from plastic bottles:

Devices for repelling rodents and insects

There are many different kinds of them. I will only talk about mole repeller and mosquito trap.

Let's start with a trap
It is very easy to make it. Cut off the top of the bottle and insert it with the neck down. The design must be darkened with paper or cloth - mosquitoes will more readily fly in there.

Pour into the bottom of the bottle as bait sugar yeast syrup... It is simple to make it: pour hot water, add sugar and yeast there, stir and cool. Such a trap will attract not only mosquitoes, but also bees, wasps, flies.

You can put the structure on the window or hang it up - this is optional. You need to clean it once a week.

By the way, I don't know why the syrup is brown in the photo - maybe from cane sugar?))) Or maybe it's kvass. By the way, yes - insects also fly to kvass. Once they left a jar of kvass on the porch, so so many midges flocked there!

A wind vane that scares away moles and more
These devices were described in detail in the article. There is also a video - you can see how to make such a structure, how it works. Ask, what does he scare with? At the bottom of the bottle, it is advised to pour beads, balls from bearings and other "rattling" elements. They say that the sound that this windmill makes is not tolerated by moles. Who has moles? Try it, then unsubscribe here, okay?
Yes, the axle on which the craft is attached must be stuck in the ground - I think you get the idea.

About the fact that some with the help of bottles, I think you already know. The bottom and throat of the bottle are cut off - a cylinder is obtained, which is then dug into the ground. Such a cover protects the root system of a young plant from attacks by a bear.

Tool boxes

For these purposes, rectangular bottles are more suitable. For example, from under engine oils. However, there are also bottles for water of this shape. Containers are made simply: mark with a marker, cut. Everything \u003d))

These boxes can be great on the farm.

Device for deep watering of plants and their night heating

Some plants do not like shallow watering. Therefore, my mother waters some of the beds using plastic bottles.

The bottom of the bottle needs to be cut off, but not completely, to get something like a cap. We tear the earth on the side of the plant, make a small trench and put pebbles there. Drainage is needed so that water does not erode the soil. Then we put the bottles with their necks down and roll them with the earth. Now, to water the plant, all you need is to open the lid and pour in the right amount of water. Here, see how our summer residents use plastic containers.

Some people dig in containers with the neck up, but then you need to make holes in the bottle so that the water goes away.

As for heating plants, you can simply pour water into bottles and overlay the plant with them. In the sun, the water heats up and will give off heat to the earth for some time. I know that glass bottles are also dug into the ground, but today we are talking about plastic.

Garden work knee pads

Many people are generally contraindicated to work bent over, this is especially true for hypertensive patients. But how, then, weed the garden? Yes, I'll tell you about the knee pads. If you work on your knees, your head will no longer be down, therefore, your health will not suffer.

All you need to do is find the right bottles, try them on to your knees, and cut the knee pads into the shape you want. Then attach the ties. It's simple.

Flower pots

And what kind of pots made of plastic bottles do not exist! Some just pour earth into bottles, others make real masterpieces. The possibilities are endless. What's good: bottles can always be painted in any color and hung anywhere. For example, how do you like these ideas?

Very cute, and you won't immediately guess what the pots are made of.

Candlestick

I made my first candlestick from a plastic bottle in elementary school, at a labor lesson. It's simple. Cut off the neck and bottom of the bottle (about half of the bottle). Then cut the part with the bottom into strips and bend them. And inside you insert the part with the neck. She will hold the candle. In general, it's easy.

But this is only one of the options, you can connect two necks.

Broom

Instead of a thousand words, I'll show you one video.

Why buy a broom when it can be done in half an hour?

Funnels

The farm periodically needs to pour something from one container to another. Not necessarily something edible - it happens, and diluted fertilizer, and poison for Colorado beetles ... Do not use a funnel from the kitchen for such purposes! And a funnel can be made from a bottle at any time.

Bird Feeders

We fed the birds in these all winter. The bottles used were large, 5 liter. I cut out windows in them, made small "thresholds" and "porches". So that it was comfortable for the birds to sit, and the snow did not sweep inside. Another plus - it is convenient to hang such feeders on trees, they already have handles.

Constructions from plastic bottles

These are not funnels with pots, but something more serious. Enterprising people from anything can build something for themselves. For example, plastic bottles make excellent greenhouses and gazebos.

Plastic bottle greenhouses

A ready-made medium-sized greenhouse costs more than 15 thousand rubles. I know for sure, because I was interested in this issue. Add to that the cost of assembly. Not everyone can figure out what's what. But there is an alternative that is not inferior in terms of performance and will cost you ... just 500-700 empty plastic bottles! \u003d))

The plastic from which bottles are made is 20 times stronger than dense polyethylene. It keeps the temperature perfectly, does not melt in the sun and can last for decades. At a greenhouse made of plastic bottles there are a number of advantages:

• it is cheap;
• durable;
• easily repaired;
• light in weight, it can be rearranged if necessary;
• looks pretty cute.

I walked around different sites and realized that there are 2 main ways to use plastic bottles in construction:

1. The bottom of each bottle is cut off. A thin rail is taken and all the bottles are strung on it. You will get ready-made building planks.
2. The bottoms and throats are cut off from the bottles. Then what happened - the middle part - is cut lengthwise. It turns out a rectangular piece of plastic. We iron it with an iron (necessarily through hard paper) to level it. We sew larger sheets from such sheets. Overlapping is desirable. You can use an awl; for fastening parts - cord thread or wire. It is not recommended to sew with thread or fishing line - the seams will quickly rot and disperse.

When the sheets (strips) are ready, you can make a frame. It is made from ordinary wooden blocks with a hammer and nails. Any form. You can - a house, you can - a triangle. And then we attach what we made from bottles to the frame. In the first case, the planks must be set as close to each other as possible so that the wind does not walk. Well, you can always glue it with scotch tape. In general, you will figure it out!)) And in the second case, ready-made plates from plastic bottles are simply nailed to a wooden frame.

An important point is the roof. In general, a good frame is able to withstand a rather heavy weight, but knowledgeable people advise covering the roof not with bottles, but with polycarbonate sheets. Or to strengthen something for the winter - suddenly there will be a lot of snow. Here's another interesting post

To bring beauty into the world is not only an honorable occupation, but also a pleasant one. It's pleasant, because with our own hands we can refine any household item, improve the mastered technique and learn new ways of decorating. Decoupage a bucket or watering can is a simple, affordable way to make an eye-pleasing home accessory out of metal containers. A master class on decorating metal objects will allow you to easily turn an old bucket into a work of applied art.

Decoupage technique and its possibilities

Decoupage - gluing paper drawings to any surface. Metal objects are quite common in the house, if you thought that galvanized buckets, pots or watering cans were not too pretentious for your home, then using the napkin technique, correct your attitude, acquire several exclusive items, a master of decorative work will wake up in you. It is difficult to overestimate the class of such items, they are multifunctional and serve for a long time.

Decoupage - gluing paper drawings to any surface!

Metal flower pots will decorate the garden, any corner of the house, and if you decorate it and plant bulbous primroses, then spring will settle in the house.

An old galvanized bucket will gain a second life if you make just a few strokes of glue over the picture. It will receive a second life as a pot for a large home flower and will become a Provence style item for decorating the interior of the house.

Small buckets hold writing utensils, make them part of the table setting for Easter, put flowers in them, use them as pots for home plants, they will organically fit into the mini-garden on the balcony as a stand, hanging pots or decoration.

Metal watering cans are durable, but rarely, beautiful, napkins will also help to correct the situation, a little time and imagination. And you can use a watering can both for its intended purpose and as a garden or kitchen decor.

The decoupage technique is simple to perform. To start decorating a bucket or other metal object, you need materials and tools of creativity. Numerous photos confirm the luxury of the results of needlework.

Paints, varnishes, tools and consumables (master class)

Let's take a closer look at how to make decoupage on a metal surface using the example of an iron watering can in a detailed master class. The item is utilitarian, important and small - having decorated it, the next step is to decoupage the surface of the bucket. From the shape of the object, the essence does not change, having caught the essence of decorating metal surfaces, you will cope with the task easily.

Having grasped the essence of decorating metal surfaces, you will cope with the task easily!

What needs to be prepared:

• napkins;
• acrylic paints: white and multi-colored (you can do with white acrylic paint and artistic gouache);
• acrylic primer for metal;
• acrylic varnish;
• sandpaper (fine);
• brushes (wide synthetic + thin for painting);
• palette for mixing paints (or disposable plastic plate);
• a glass of water for rinsing brushes;
• narrow masking tape;
• new sponge.

Decor step by step

Step 1: prepare the metal surface for subsequent decorating work. To do this, wash thoroughly and treat the surface with a degreasing agent using a cotton pad or cloth.

Step 2: The master class is designed for beginners, so feel free to start the next steps! We begin to prime the surface, this must be done carefully with a brush. White acrylic primer eliminates the need to paint an item with several coats of paint. Also, the primer provides adhesion of all subsequent layers to the metal base. Therefore, the stage is very important for the quality of the finished product.... Apply paint to the dried primed surface. You can do with white, but this is not so interesting - the cream color is more noble and suitable for any interior. The class of decorative arts is determined by the number of shades of color.

For warm shades, mix white paint and a few drops of burnt umber on the palette, add a little yellow. Add paints or gouache in very small portions, control the process to get the color you want. Apply the finished color to the watering can with a sponge using tampon movements. Dry it.

Step 3: Using a nail scissors, cut out a piece of the napkin and carefully remove the bottom white layers. They are not used in the process. If you forget to remove, then the picture glued from several layers will wrinkle. To make the napkin lie flat, without creases, coat the place where it will be fixed with PVA glue or acrylic varnish. Gently, starting from the top edge, attach the napkin. Smooth out with a soft cloth and coat with glue (varnish) on top. The drawing can be from different sides, act so as to glue everything, but not damage the previous work. Dry, cover with acrylic varnish and dry again. The high class of the product is characterized by impeccable workmanship.

To make the napkin lie flat, without creases, coat the place where it will be fixed with PVA glue or acrylic varnish!

Step 4: You can finish on this, but the subject clearly lacks character, therefore, additional drawing is required. To get a straight line when painting part of the object in a different color, use masking tape... Stick it in the place where the separation will be, make sure that the tape is tight, otherwise the paint will spread and a clear line will not work. Each decoupage master has his own techniques for drawing a straight line - masking tape is the most popular.

Step 5: Using a wide, flat brush, draw imitation ribbon stitches, but mark it out with a simple pencil first. To do this, mix acrylic paints in a plate in such a way that one edge of the brush captures a light tone, and the other a dark tone of the paint. Dry the paint and apply varnish on top, dry. Now you need to add depth to the picture - shade the leaves. It is worth shading with a gray tint with the addition of barely noticeable greenery. Do this stage of artwork with a thin brush.

To make the paint lie well, dilute it a little with water (it is important that at the same time it does not spread). Apply a stroke along the contour, or slightly grabbing the edge of the drawing, do not leave white spots. So that the rest of the field does not seem empty, put points with a thin brush - this will be an imitation of small peas. The decoupage is over.

Step 6: Cover the entire work with varnish, make two or three coats. Sand the surface with fine sandpaper, wipe it off and again varnish.

Applying the step-by-step instructions, the master class will allow you to master the technique and technology. Thanks to her, you can decorate a bucket, coffee pot, flowerpot and any other metal object. A master of decoupage and an old metal iron will add luxury to an art object. The work uses not only napkins, but also postcards, magazine illustrations, photos.

Not only plastic bottles, but also canisters sometimes accumulate in the suburban area. They also have interesting uses. For example, make a wardrobe or shoe cabinet out of them, which, if necessary, will serve you as a good alternative to ordinary furniture.

The cabinet shown in the photographs is made of 40 plastic canisters (four rows of ten canisters), but you can take any amount that suits you. For making, you need a knife, large scissors and rope, as well as paper and a marker.

Since the canisters are stronger than ordinary plastic bottles, we first pierce them with a knife in the upper part, then cut out the holes with large scissors. But if you want all the holes to be cut perfectly straight, you can first cut the stencil out of paper, then attach it to the top of the canister and trace around with a marker. Then cut it out according to the resulting markup.

After that, we put the canisters in a row and tie them together, pulling the rope under the handles. If you plan to make several rows, then it is better to tie each row first, and then tie the entire canister cabinet around the perimeter so that it is stronger.

If the cabinet will be in a shed or where you don't mind the walls, you can simply drill it to the wall. Note also that this structure is light, and it can be knocked down, for example, by a jumping cat, so it is recommended to put something heavy in the bottom row. If there are no heavy objects, then just stones or bricks will do (one in both extreme canisters of the lower row).

In such a closet made of plastic canisters, it is convenient to store both clothes or shoes, and, for example, various tools.

Handmade from plastic cans

Index: [hide]

• Express bucket
• Flower pot "Happy Train"
• Lamp light
• Plates for things or tools
• Decorative masks

Garden banks will not only decorate the dacha, but will also bring real benefits to the farm.

After all, during the season a lot of unnecessary things accumulate in the summer house, which are either burned or put off for a while. Most of the problems are with glasses.

From glasses, you can get wonderful strong garden crafts.

Many of these things can be done by hand in just 5-10 minutes and will last much longer. All you need is a set of tools available in each cottage and a little humor.

Express bucket

Plastic buckets for a summer residence are a necessary and useful thing. However, for various reasons, its lifespan may be shorter than expected. One wrong move, a hit, and plastic cracks.

What if I can't get to the store and now I need a bucket? This can be done manually in a matter of minutes.

You can build a bucket from a container that you can use as you see fit.

To work you will need:

• container with a capacity of 5-10 liters;
• knife for knives;
• Handle from an old bucket.

Take a bowl and use a knife to carve out the top of the neck. Make two holes on the sides and insert the handle that remains from the broken bucket.

Your quick bucket is ready!

This hack is good because you can adjust the volume of the bucket. For this, the excess part must be divided so that only the necessary part remains. You can create a bucket of different capacities as needed. In particular, they will be useful if construction work is to be carried out and the exact amount of granular substances or liquids must be measured.

And also for the preparation of various dressings for vegetables and protective compounds against pests that every garden and garden needs.

Flower pot "Happy Train"

If several identical plastic jars were bought in the room that will not be used in the future, we can make a decorative floral insert from them.

The easiest way is to cut off the tops and place them in the garden, fill them with soil or nutrient mixture and plant flowers.

Their cans can be made as locomotives for the garden, whose cars can be used as vases.

One of the most difficult compositional decisions will be "Funny Train". To do this, you will need:

• 5-6 containers of the same capacity;
• Cutting knife:
• exterior paints;
• paint brush;
• Earth or nutrient mixture.

Canisters of the same size are needed to make our "train" look as good as the right train. But if strict adherence to the original does not apply to the owner of the cottage, you can safely take containers of different sizes.

For "cars" containers are used, in which the side part is cut to length. They are placed on their side. The amount left for planting is chosen according to what the plant will be in this pot and how much land will be required for normal development.

The locomotive is made of two cans. One is mounted vertically - this is the "driver's cab", and the other is the "engine room". The wheels are made of round caps from old containers or wooden waffles.

If you want to present an image of a real "Happy Wine", it must be drawn. Color is just a matter of personal taste. You need to do this before falling asleep and planting flowers.

In the fall, before the cold weather sets in, flowers should be covered with cellophane or tarpaulin so that they do not accumulate moisture, as this will freeze and break the plastic in case of a cold.

Lamp light

In order not to buy new lamps for summer cottages, you can do it yourself.

From cans, you can make a simple night light that will bring diffused light to you.

To do this, you may need:

• white tank;
• knife for knives;
• lamp holder;
• wire with plug and switch;
• glue (transparent);
• fabric for decoration;
• paper napkins for decoupage.

First, the neck part of the container has been exceeded. The hole is made for the wire, after which you can continue to decorate the future lamp fixture.

To do this, it is wrapped in cloth or without it, depending on the settings of the owner. The fabric can be fixed with colorless glue, so there are no ugly stains.

And you can do the fancy things you give decoupage style. To do this, the surface of the container is lubricated with transparent glue, and glued to the upper adhesive colored napkins.

You can buy them at all craft stores or stores. When the adhesive dries, a hole is formed, the wire is inserted into the lamp body to which the lamp holder is attached. If necessary, you can put up a wooden stand. It's nice to put a lamp in the garden and read a book under its light.

By the way, using the same technology, the lamp is made of plastic sheets for the chandelier.

Plates for things or tools

You can build a locker from a large number of containers.

Master gardeners know how this happens when the farm uses a lot of small tools. But you still need somewhere to keep your nails, screws, various small parts ...

You can get out of the situation with old wardrobes. Depending on their size, you will receive a toolbox or cabinet for shoes and things.

To work you will need:

• banks;
• knife for knives;
• fastening.

The capacity is better to choose one size, so the cabinet is flat and stable.

Yes, and it looks more attractive.

The plastic slabs cut off the tops, but keep them away (3-5 cm), which begins to taper from the neck to the walls.

He will not leave things and tools from the cells.

The finished containers are fixed together. The number of cells can be arbitrary, whole or odd. The wardrobe can be in the form of a rectangle or pyramid, stairs, depending on the size of the room and its functionality.

The structure must be fixed to the wall because the cabinet was light enough to be touched by the contents of an awkward movement.

You can also make shoe racks and wall boxes from plastic boats for various useful little things.

Decorative masks

After many national dachas, there will always be remnants that are usually thrown away or burned in the garden.

For example, a door made of cans. But with a little imagination and invention, you can find them and use them.

If you look at such a throat, you will see a funny face in which the hole is the mouth, the handle is the nose. All the rest is to do your eyes and hair, and the decorative mask will be ready!

Canned children's carnival masks or other celebrations can be made from cans.

This is best done with children, in a large company.

You will need:

• neck from cans;
• glue;
• rope;
• drops of colored fabrics;
• buttons;
• thin wire;
• scissors;

The work can be organized as a competition in the game, giving a prize for the most unusual or funniest mask.

Use a rope to secure your hair.

They are designed to protect openings in the plastic box. It can also be created from a multicolor tab pack. The glasses can be very different: from classic plaits to African "arrows of freedom".

The eyes are made of buttons fastened with wire. And if there are no matching buttons at hand, your eyes are colored with a sign or color.

The last touch of the mask will be an exotic shell necklace, collected by the river or old balls, as well as other jewelry.

What are the handcrafted crafts from plastic bottles and cans for oil or cottages (photo)?

Such masks will pleasantly diversify the interior of the villa. And if you bring a wire over them and secure a light bulb inside, you can make decorative lamps. They can be performed in the garden as a holiday lamp.

This is far from the idea of \u200b\u200busing old plastic cans.

We can turn them into a container for cereals and fresh food, into a flower pot, no matter what. They demonstrate ingenuity and imagination, a trained craftsman can find a plastic container attachment that gives them new life in the form of useful and functional things.

Canister testing

Scope of tests

According to international certification according to the method No. UN 2-228 / 67-2000, the following tests were carried out for the carriage of dangerous goods in canisters in accordance with the UN model rules for packing groups:

• Checking the availability of regulatory documents for polyethylene cans.
• Sampling.
• Inspection of samples to identify compliance with design documentation.
• Sample preparation.
• Testing samples for:
  • impact test of canisters during free fall from a height on all planes and at all angles;
  • stacking strength;
  • tightness;
  • hydraulic strength.

Free fall impact tests on canister samples

Stacking test of canister samples

The tests were carried out in a chamber where a temperature of + 400C was maintained with a heating device. A platform with a mass of 378 kg for canisters of 21.5 dm3 and a mass of 366 kg for canisters with a volume of 31.5 dm3 was used as a load.

The duration of the tests was 28 days.

Tightness testing of canister samples

To carry out the test, a fitting for connecting the compressed air supply hose was inserted into the plug of the canister sample. Tests of canister samples for tightness were carried out in a metal container with a capacity of 50 liters using a compressor providing the necessary overpressure, a pressure gauge, a compressed air supply hose and shut-off valves. The test pressure was 25 kPa, which was maintained for 5 minutes after the shut-off valves were closed. The canisters were immersed in a container with water in a vertical position, and compressed air was supplied from the compressor through a hose to the inside of the canisters until an excess pressure of 25 kPa was reached. After reaching the required pressure with the help of shut-off valves, the access of air to the inside of the canisters was blocked.

The canisters were kept under excess pressure for 5 minutes, while the changes taking place were recorded. To immerse the canisters in water and maintain them in this position, a load was placed on top of the canisters. After exposure to excess pressure, slight inflation of the canisters and their acquisition of a more rounded shape was observed.

At the same time, the release of air bubbles was not observed; the lid provided the necessary tightness of the canisters.

Testing of samples of canisters for hydraulic strength

To carry out tests for hydraulic strength, the canisters were filled with water to their full capacity (21.5 dm3 and 31.5 dm3), closed with a lid with a fitting, and then an excess pressure of 250 kPa was supplied, which was monitored by a manometer. What can be made from plastic bottles: master classes and ideas for a note After reaching the required pressure, the air supply to the inside of the canisters was shut off with the help of shut-off valves. The change in pressure inside the canisters and their behavior under pressure were monitored for 30 minutes.

As a result of the influence of excessive pressure at the initial moment, the canisters lost their clear edges and turned into spherical shapes. At the initial moment, as a result of material flow, the pressure decreased to 200 kPa. With the help of a compressor, the pressure was brought to the initial value. For 30 minutes, the canisters withstood an overpressure of 250 kPa, with a slight change in their appearance. There was no water leakage from the canisters

Various plastic cans

Currently, plastic cans are widely used in various industries: construction, food, chemical, paints and varnishes, agricultural and others.

This versatile container is made of polymers and serves for the transport and storage of liquid and oily materials.

Manufacturing processes

There are two ways to make plastic containers: spraying and blowing.

The molding process takes place in a pressure mode: steel molds, installed on a spray machine, are filled with a polymer mass obtained from a granule under the influence of high temperature.

After the water-cooled stage, the product is automatically released from the mold and inspected.

The blowing method is carried out using an extruder, a special printing plate that works at high temperatures.

The blocks are discharged through an extruder in which a homogeneous mass of molten polymer is prepared. Then, under the influence of compressed air, the containers are released, which are then sent for quality control.

Canned types

To buy a cannon ball for the required purposes, you need to know the types of products produced.

Plastic containers are mainly intended for use in manufacturing plants and are called industrial containers. In addition, they are classified by volume and compact transport capability (folded and non-folded) with integrated arm and outer.

industrial

They have a concise design that focuses on: comfort, relatively low cost, low weight.

Make a power supply from a plastic container

Industrial cans are made from relatively affordable translucent polyethylene with a minimum quantity of 5 liters. The design is based on the weight saving of the product, which is 170-180g.

sphere

You can buy plastic cansany desired volume - from 5 to 50 liters.

Of these, the most popular is the 20L plastic container because it is very suitable for transportation, manual transmission, storage. The capacity of this volume was marked by the beginning of modern plastic sheets, which are produced in the form of a parallelepiped and a cube with a different handle arrangement.

Canisters of different sizes

It also turned out that a 10-liter tank is an increase in demand with a lot of changes compared to other capacities.

With built-in and external lever

Industrial jerrycans with a built-in lever allow rational use of transport during transport and the surface of premises during storage.

You can with a notch handle

Outside handle containers are more popular in everyday life than in industry.

Their production process is the most rational, the product has the least weight and the lowest price.

It can be with an external handle

Foldable and incompatible

The most important characteristic of canisters is their fit, which depends on the position of the handle.

Foldable containers with an outer handle are cube-shaped and have a slot at the bottom that includes the handle of an adjacent container during transport and storage.

Folding cans

The most suitable version of storage containers - with a recess, which is most often of this type, can be 20 liters.

In this design, the handle is placed in a recess in the upper part of the container, without interfering with the formation of not only cubic sheets, but also in the form of a parallelepiped.

During warehousing and storage in the warehouse, the container is attached to each other, the upper part of the body is provided with pins, the lower part - with grooves.

Non-sterile containers are simple in shape (with rectangular sides), have a protruding handle, and a maximum capacity of 10 liters.

Due to their advantages, plastic containers are practically indispensable for the transportation and storage of liquid substances.
