Plastic is widely used in everyday life. It is used to produce containers for food and bottles for liquids. The thermal stability of different containers is different - even hot food can be put into containers, and hot liquid cannot be poured into a plastic bottle - it is immediately deformed.
Instructions
Step 1
You can use hot water to melt a plastic bottle, but it is dangerous and fraught with burns. Better use an open flame of a lighter or candle. If you do not bring the plastic too close to the fire, then it creates bizarre curves and, after a kind of firing, resembles glass. This is used by many craftsmen, creating whole works of art.
Step 2
Japanese craftsmen melt plastic egg containers and bottles to create artificial flowers. In Russia, this technique was adopted by Galina Vesennyaya from the city of Togliatti and gave her the author's name "Bijutaria", that is, jewelry created from the former container. Cutting blanks from plastic bottles, the craftswoman creates flowers of various shapes from them, using them to create bracelets, earrings and beads. This technique, which makes it easy and beautiful to dispose of plastic, is becoming more widespread and popular in our country. You can learn this with the help of video tutorials.
Step 3
In order to make a beautiful lily, cut out blanks from a plastic bottle. They are 4 squares of various sizes - 6x6, 5x5 and 4x4 centimeters. Next, in the middle of each side of the square, make an incision, slightly short of the center. Then take a round nail scissors and cut off sharp corners so that 4 petals are formed.
Step 4
If you want the petal to round slightly, keep the plastic 20-25 centimeters away from the fire. The closer you bring the blank from a plastic bottle, the more it will twist, forming a tight bud. Hold the petal with pliers or round nose pliers to guide it. After the edges of the petal are melted, it will look like glass.
Step 5
Take an awl or thick sewing needle and secure it with the pliers. Heat it over a fire and punch a hole in the center of each flower. Then combine them together - the largest is below, and insert the smaller flowers into it. Pass the fishing line through the resulting hole and string beads or beads onto it. In this way, you not only get a core, but also a reliable fastening. Such a flower can be attached to a beaded bracelet, headband, ring base or earring hook.
Step 6
Even the most common household materials can be used to create beautiful things. The main thing in this business is solely your imagination.
