4. Make a double hole in each layer with a hot awl if you are going to string the flower on a wire. If the stem will be a thin wooden stick, it is better to make cross-shaped cuts with a stationery knife.

5. Cut thin strips (5-10 mm wide) from green bottles, which will be used to create the stem of the flower. It is also necessary to prepare sepals for the buds and several leaves so that the stems do not look bare.

6. Take a piece of wire and bend it in half. This should be the height of the flower. Thread all the layers onto the wire, starting with the sepal, then the largest layer and ending with the smallest petals. To cover the protruding wire, you can place a sparkling bead or even a bottle cap in the very center of the bud. Then the end of the wire goes through the second holes (like in a button) and comes out under the bud. The edge of the green plastic strip is threaded under the sepal and glued to its inner part. Then the wire is twisted into a single stem.



7. The leaves, like the petals, need to be heated over a candle flame and formed into their natural shape. The thin strips between the leaves need to be twisted several times after heating to form cuttings.



8. The plastic strip needs to be tightly wound onto the wire. To do this, heat a small piece of plastic over a candle and carefully wind it. When you reach the middle or third, stop and screw the workpiece, a branch with leaves. Then continue winding the strip until the end of the wire. Finally, warm up the ends of the stem and the plastic strip well, and then press them down, additionally smearing them with glue.

There are different variations of plastic roses, which differ in color, size, decoration with rhinestones or spraying, filling the buds with plastic bags for greater splendor, etc. Each master ultimately creates his own, “crown” product.



It’s only difficult to make the first two or three roses from plastic bottles, but then you’ll start making them into simple bouquets and decorating not only your home, but also giving them to friends.

Rose from a plastic bottle at home
Let's think about how many plastic bottles are thrown into trash bins and how much our ecology is damaged by this. And let's turn what is usually considered trash into a beautiful and cute flower. Such a rose from a plastic bottle will be a wonderful decoration, pleasing to the eye, and will delight guests. You can create it in an evening, and it will never wither.


How the future flower will look depends largely on the color of the bottle taken, since in most cases they are not painted later, like other plastic flowers, but exceptions are made.



The process of creating a flower
You need to prepare all the necessary materials and tools in advance:

plastic bottles of the desired color for the flower;
green plastic bottles;
paper;
marker;
scissors;
awl;
wire;
candle;
If you want, you can take a beautiful bead for the center of the rose, but this is not necessary.


The process of creating a rose yourself from plastic bottles is a very interesting process, thanks to the step-by-step instructions you will see this.

Pre-selected bottles should be soaked in a soap solution. This will facilitate and speed up the process of removing labels and glue from the surface.

This must be done very carefully, otherwise dirt particles will soon stick to these places on the finished rose, especially if it is used for outdoor decoration. Because of this, the flower will lose its beauty and charm.

First, we make templates for the rose on paper. To do this, we cut out three squares measuring 9.5 cm, 7.5 cm and 5.5 cm. If necessary, the sizes can be varied to obtain the intended size of the flower.



Fold each square in four and cut out a rose petal. The simple template for rose petals from a plastic bottle is finished.

To create one rose, you will need to prepare six parts, two of each size. We will cut the rose leaves out of plastic, using one template.



After the bottles are thoroughly cleaned, we remove their necks and bottoms. Then we cut it lengthwise so that we get a straight plastic sheet.

We recommend doing this in advance and benin mobile database the sheet under a press for 24 hours, then it will be smooth and working with it will be easier and more comfortable.

Using a marker and paper templates for the rose, transfer to a sheet of plastic. After that, all the blanks must be cut out.



We make small cuts on the edges of the leaves. The shape of the leaves can be different, it depends only on the idea and imagination of the master.

In order for the flower from a plastic bottle to be as realistic as possible, you need to cut out the sepal. It will be located under the bud in the future.
