What materials and tools are needed to make a rose from a plastic bottle?
Depending on what color of rose you want to make, prepare a blue, white or red bottle. For the stem and leaf - green. We will also need a candle, scissors, an awl, a marker and a piece of rigid wire wrapped in a coil.
Bud preparation:
Cut the bottle into squares (we will need 7 squares, see picture), then draw petals on each: large, medium and small, and then cut them out. Use an awl to make holes in the center of each piece. Give the pieces a natural shape over a candle flame.

Preparation of sepals and leaves:
We make the sepals and leaves from a green plastic bottle. The technology for making these parts is the same as for the bud.
3:813 3:822
Stem preparation:
The stem, like all the green parts of the flower, is made from a green plastic bottle. To do this, we cut out a ribbon in a spiral, and then wrap it on a piece of rigid wire over the candles.
5:370 5:379
Rose assembly:
First we put the sepal on the stem, then we put on the petals of the bud - from the largest to the smallest. To secure the bud to the stem, bend the end of the wire using pliers. Next, take a leaf and twist it over the fire onto the stem. That's all - our rose from a plastic bottle is ready!

Making the whisks:
To implement the idea, you will need white yogurt bottles.
8:771 8:780From them you need to cut out circles with a diameter of about 10 cm, inside of which you need to draw a small circle with a felt-tip pen, which will serve as the middle of the flower. Next, make 16 cuts around the circumference in each workpiece.
8:1148 8:1157Using scissors, round off the edges of the petals and make a hole in the center with an awl. For the splendor of the flower, you can use two of these blanks. Then molding is carried out over a candle flame.
8:15158:8
This technique will give the petals a natural and slightly curved shape. You should be extremely careful here, because if you remain above the flame for a long time, the parts can be seriously deformed.
8:374 8:383
Preparing the center of the flower:
To make a chamomile center you will need a yellow bottle. Cut out two or three circles with a diameter of about 2 cm. Using nail scissors, make a fringe along the edge and lightly curl it over the candle. On one piece, cut out a small part, about 1/5 of the circle.

Making the sepals, stem and leaves:
The stem can be a wooden skewer or a wire in a winding. Next is the technology, like the rose.
10:275 10:284From a green plastic bottle, cut out a spiral-shaped strip, no more than 0.5 cm thick. Using a candle, wind it onto the stem. To create the sepals, cut out several green five or six-pointed stars.
10:701 10:710Over the flame, again give the desired shape. Also make chamomile leaves from a green bottle.

The final stage of assembly.
11:1506First put the sepal on the pointed part of the stem, then the bases of the petals and the yellow cores.
11:194 11:203If you use a skewer as a stem, then put a piece of plasticine on its end; if you used wire, then make a loop so that the parts do not fall off.
11:516 11:525Then attach the leaves to the stem by holding them over the candle. That's all, the chamomile from a plastic bottle is ready!
11:733 11:742 12:1246 12:1255How to make a peony from a plastic bottle:
The peony differs from previous works only in its bud and larger leaves on the stem. Therefore, below we provide instructions on how to make the bud itself, and you can make the stem and leaves using the method described above.
12:1713 12:8
Blank for peony:
Let's make a template on paper - draw a whisk in three sizes.
13:697 13:706Now we make three blanks - this time we take a transparent container, and then paint it in the desired bright color. Be sure to cut through each petal almost to the core.
13:1018 13:1027We give the whisks a “live” look by holding the workpiece over a candle.
13:1151 13:1160
Coloring and assembling the bud:
We cover the blanks with acrylic paint from a can.
We assemble the details of the bud, gluing them to each other. Then we decorate the core with beads, imitating anthers.

How to make flowers from plastic bottles: supplies
Before you make a flower from a bottle, you need to prepare everything you need. We need:
- plastic bottle;
- wire for making a stem;
- alkyd aerosol or acrylic paint, which will be needed if the plastic bottle is the wrong color;
- a lighter or candle over which a plastic bottle is melted;
- template for quickly drawing one petal or leaf on plastic;
- buttons or beads that will decorate the middle of the flower;
- a marker to draw a petal of the desired shape on a plastic bottle;
- a baking sheet over which a plastic bottle is heated: this way the melted plastic will drip onto the baking sheet and not onto the table or floor;
- scissors for cutting out the workpiece.
How to make flowers from bottles: main stages of work
Anyone can make a flower, since the technology is simple. You should start by identifying the plant that you would like to make with your own hands.
- You need to draw a template on cardboard with a marker. The shape of the template is determined by the shape of the leaf or petal. Sometimes a flower consists of one piece.
- Then you need to cut out all the petals, leaves or flowers.
- A hole is pierced in the middle of the workpiece using an awl or soldering iron. The hole is necessary to attach the stem and corolla.
- Holding the product over the flame, you need to give the workpiece the desired shape. First, the ends of the workpiece are scorched over the flame, and then the petal from the bottom is held above it. As a result, it should resemble a petal. It is better to take the workpiece with tweezers and use it to give it the desired shape.
- Another option is a flower, the basis for which is the top of a plastic bottle. In this case, there is no need to cut the workpiece according to the template. A hole for the stem and corolla is cut out in the lid.
- The stem is made from a piece of metal wire wrapped with green electrical tape or green melted plastic. The leaves are attached to the wire in a similar way.
DIY rose from a plastic bottle
The rose consists of several blanks connected together. For the rose petals and its corolla you will need a red, blue or yellow plastic bottle. For the leaves you need to prepare green plastic.
The more petals a rose has, the more realistic it will look. Hold the plastic blanks over a candle or lighter longer if you want the rose to have an original shape. To decorate the middle of the rose, use buttons or beads.
If necessary, the finished rose is covered with paint of any color. A rose from a plastic bottle with two-color petals looks interesting. For example, yellow in the main part and pink at the ends. Also Bottom part roses may differ from the rest.
Clivia from a plastic bottle
Another option is clivia, a flower similar to an orchid. The upper part of the plastic bottle is needed in order to cut out the main blank with scissors. Don't forget to take thin wire and beads to make the whisk. Before you start stringing, the wire needs to be bent so that the beads do not slip down. The free end of the wire is threaded into the hole in the middle of the lid. The petals are coated with paint of the desired color. If you find a plastic bottle white, then only part of the flower can be painted.
