Hello dear gardeners! The topic of today's material is interesting to everyone and always relevant. It is probably familiar to many, but still I hope to surprise you.
Today, everything is sold in plastic bottles: water, lemonade, milk ... Of all the garbage that we accumulate, the most voluminous are the bottles: you put one in the trash can - and that's it: consider half a bucket occupied. And what is it like in the country! In many holiday 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 what cannot be processed in country conditions.
Logical question: how plastic bottles can be used on the farm to be both useful, and convenient, and beautiful? That's what we'll talk about.
By the way, information sheet: plastic decomposes in water 100 to 500 years(according to different sources and depending on the type of plastic).
We have few factories that process garbage, so people themselves find interesting uses for simple and seemingly completely unnecessary things.
Plastic bottles in garden decor
If you wish, you can create such beauty - the neighbors will envy! Want to decorate your garden without spending too much? See if there are empty plastic bottles in your country house.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 away by showers, they always look neat and pleasing to the eye. I think it looks great ... How to make such a flower bed?
Of course, you will need a lot of bottles (preferably the same size). We pour sand into them, close them and begin to build a "palisade". Bottles will have to be dug a little into the ground to give them stability. After the flower bed 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 an already finished fence than each bottle individually. And dark plastic containers can be left as they are, it also looks pretty. An example of the performance and opinions of summer residents on this method of using bottles, see the materials:
Flowers, palm trees, butterflies and other "tropics"
The beauty is indescribable. Turn on your imagination, wake up your fantasy 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 may be needed:
- plastic bottles of different colors;
- scissors, awl, thick threads;
- PVA glue and "Master";
- acrylic paints;
- candle;
- wire;
- beads, beads - for decoration.
The stem is best made from thick wire. The stamens are made of thin wire, on which beads can be strung. It remains only to assemble the whole thing, fastening it with glue, using an awl and wire if necessary. Just look how beautiful the result is!
Cute animals for the garden
No one is made from bottles. The simplest, perhaps, is this. All you need is to cut and bend the ears, attach the tail and color it 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? I think they look great! And if you involve children in the process, they will be delighted!
The tools used are the same as listed above. Paints - not necessarily acrylic. But they dry faster, which is a plus. And they hardly smell. True, they are also different.
Air curtains for the garden
These crafts captivated me precisely with their lightness and unusualness. I’ll specially collect bottles and make such a curtain in my yard! I think you can use bottles of different sizes.
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 idea is all the more interesting. 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, and you?
Lamps and chandeliers for the garden
Actually, why not? Buying a lamp for the garden is unprofitable, just hanging a light bulb is ugly. A lamp made of plastic bottles is an excellent option for lighting a garden plot.Such chandeliers are not ashamed to hang in the house.
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 husbands, brothers or fathers ... From you - creativity, from them - a lighting element \u003d)))
bottle garden path
I recently wrote about garden paths in an article. But there was nothing about bottles, only about their caps. It turns out that a good path is obtained from the bottoms, along which it is pleasant to walk barefoot. note: the bottoms are laid on loose sand, the master must make an effort to fill them with sand. This will prevent their deformation in the future when you walk around them.Household supplies from plastic bottles
That's 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.Wash basins and boxes
The easiest option is to hang upside down the bottle, and when you need to wash your hands, just turn off the cap a little. It is better to cut off the bottom of the bottle and make it removable so that it is more convenient to pour water. There is nothing complicated here, even 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 on a picnic - it's very convenient, and your hands are always clean.
It is advisable to make a homemade washbasin closeable so that leaves, insects and other debris do not get into the water. There are also more complex designs. You can, for example, embed a hose with a tap into a large bottle. But this is to be quite convenient.
Or you can make a box for bags, napkins or something similar out of a bottle.
Scoops and shovels
Making a scoop with your own hands is easy. Take the bottle and mark the shape of the future scoop with a marker. Next is the case of scissors. Well, or a knife.
Slippers
These are shoes that wear out pretty quickly. Therefore, durable and beautiful slippers on the farm will always come in handy. No, no, don't think that bottle slippers are just scoops with heels =))). I would like to see it ... Although there are simple options too. For example, this one:A more complex version looks like this:
Of course, it is not necessary to make such bouquets. But in general, slippers are excellent. In order not to slip, and the leg feels comfortable, you can experiment with “layers”. How to make holes? Yes, even a hole punch! And if there are men in the house, let them solve this problem.
And from plastic bottles you can make very useful large containers for household needs:
Devices for repelling rodents and insects
There are many different ones. I will only talk about the mole repeller and the mosquito trap.Let's start with the trap
Make it very easy. Cut off the top of the bottle and insert it into the bottom with the neck down. The design must be darkened with paper or cloth - mosquitoes will be more likely to fly there.
Pour into the bottom of the bottle as bait sugar yeast syrup. It is easy to make: pour hot water, add sugar and yeast, 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 - this is optional. It needs to be cleaned 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. Somehow they left a jar of kvass on the porch, so many midges flocked there!
Wind vane repelling 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 design, how it works. Ask what scares him? 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, agreed?
Yes, the axis on which the craft is attached must be stuck into the ground - I think you understand.
About the fact that some use bottles, I think you already know. The bottom and throat of the bottle are cut off - a cylinder is obtained, which is 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 machine oils. However, there are also water bottles of this shape. Containers are made simply: mark with a marker, cut. Everything =))
These boxes can be very useful in the household.
Device for deep watering plants and their night heating
Some plants do not like surface watering. Therefore, my mother waters some beds with plastic bottles.You need to cut off the bottom of the bottle, 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 lay them on the ground. Now, to water the plant, all you need is to open the lid and pour the right amount of water. Here, look how our summer residents use plastic containers.
Some people dig in containers upside down, but then you need to make holes in the bottle so that the water leaves.
As for heating plants, you can simply pour water into bottles and put them over the plant. In the sun, the water will heat 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 knee pads
It is generally contraindicated for many people to work bending over, this is especially true for hypertensive patients. But how then to 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 well-being will not suffer.All you have to do is find the right bottles, fit them to your knees and cut the knee pads to the desired shape. Then attach the ties. Everything is simple.
Flower pots
And what only pots from plastic bottles do not exist! Some simply pour earth into bottles, others make real masterpieces. The possibilities are endless. What's good: the bottles can always be painted in any color and hung anywhere. For example, what do you think of these ideas?
Very cute, and you will not immediately guess what the pots are made of.
Candlestick
I made my first candlestick from a plastic bottle back in elementary school, at a labor lesson. It's simple. Cut off the neck and bottom of the bottle (about half 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 will show one video.Why buy a broom when you can make one in half an hour?
Funnels
In the economy, from time to time there is a need 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 you can make a funnel from a bottle at any time.
Bird feeders
We fed the birds in these all winter. Bottles used 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 is that it is convenient to hang such feeders on trees, they already have handles.
Buildings made from plastic bottles
These are not funnels with pots, but something more serious. Entrepreneurial people can build something out of anything. Plastic bottles, for example, make excellent greenhouses and gazebos.Greenhouses from plastic bottles
A finished 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 performance and will cost you ... only 500-700 empty plastic bottles! =))The plastic from which the 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. Greenhouse made of plastic bottles there are a number of advantages:
- she is cheap;
- durable;
- easily repaired;
- light in weight, it can be rearranged if necessary;
- looks pretty cute.
I took a look at different sites and realized that there are 2 main ways to use plastic bottles in construction:
- The bottom of each bottle is cut off. A thin rail is taken and all the bottles are strung on it. Get ready-made building strips.
- The bottom and neck of the bottles are cut off. Then what happened - the middle part - is cut along. It turns out a rectangular piece of plastic. We iron it with an iron (necessarily through hard paper) to level it. From such sheets we sew more sheets. Overlap preferably. 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 (slats) are ready, you can make a frame. It is made from ordinary wooden bars with a hammer and nails. Form - any. 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 should be placed as close to each other as possible so that the wind does not walk. Well, you can always stick it with tape. In general, you'll figure it out!)) And in the second case, ready-made plates from plastic bottles are simply nailed to a wooden frame.
The important thing is the roof. In general, a good frame can withstand a rather heavy weight, but knowledgeable people advise covering the roof not with bottles, but with polycarbonate sheets. Or something to strengthen for the winter - suddenly it will pile up a lot of snow. Here is another interesting post

Do-it-yourself furniture from plastic bottles
In theory, you can assemble both a sofa and armchairs, but this takes a lot of time, patience, and most importantly, material. Much faster assemble an ottoman, coffee table and other small furniture. At the heart of any furniture made of plastic bottles there will be a so-called block, which consists of one whole empty bottle with a closed lid and a second bottle with a cut neck. She puts on the first one. It turns out a design with two bottoms.
To make an ottoman, such blocks are tied into a round structure, wrapped with tape. You can finish this job. But in order to get not only the necessary, but also a beautiful thing, you need the resulting design wrap with foam rubber and put a sewn cover on top. The soft pouffe is ready.

If there is no water in the summer cottage, and after a hot summer day you want to douse yourself with some water and wash off the labor sweat, a shower from a 10-liter bottle can be a way out. In the bottom of the bottle you need to make a large hole for pouring water, and smaller holes for fastening. A wire or a thick fishing line is threaded into these holes and fixed to the required height. Holes are pierced in the lid with an awl, the more holes, the more intense the water pressure. By the same principle, you can make a washbasin from a 5 liter bottle.
Panicle for summer cottage and suburban area

- seedling boxes;
- decorative elements for decorating flower beds and fences.
For the manufacture of pots put the workpiece horizontally and cut out a rectangular recess, make holes in the opposite wall so that the water does not stagnate after irrigation, fill in the ground and plant the plant. To decorate the planter, you can glue plastic eyes on the side of the neck and you get a hedgehog that has a plant instead of needles.
