Making crafts for a summer cottage is very common due to the fact that people want to see beauty around them. If there are a lot of flower beds on the site, then you can reproduce ladybugs from plastic around them, which will attract insects that pollinate the flowers with their bright colors.
You can make a ladybug from the very simple material- a plastic bottle, and if you involve a child in the process, doing the craft will not only be exciting, but also educational for the baby. The article will tell you how to make just such products.
Variety of options
Ladybug from a plastic bottle can be made in a variety of ways. For example, you can make a large flower bed in the shape of this insect, several figurines for the garden, or other craft options. In this article we will look at the most popular methods of making this craft.
Flowerbed in the shape of a ladybug
To make a large, bright flowerbed, you will need plastic bottles with the same volume, which is selected individually depending on the size of the flowerbed you plan to make. You will also need acrylic in red, black and red colors. To design the finished flower bed you will need sand and stones. It is also worth having a stationery knife, scissors and paint brushes available.
Before making a flower bed, you need to cut blanks from the prepared bottles. These should be halves or thirds of the containers. They are painted a certain color depending on their location in the flowerbed.
While the preparations are drying, the base of the flowerbed is completed: a slightly elongated circle is outlined on the ground and surrounded with stones. Sand is poured inside, forming a kind of pillow. The back of the insect is marked on it, which will be used to determine the location of the wings and head. In accordance with the marked pattern, already dried plastic blanks are laid out, observing the color.
Important! The sand cushion must be watered generously before laying out the workpieces.
Thus, if the drawing is laid out carefully, you will get a mosaic of painted bottle bottoms.
Small garden ladybug
If there is not enough space on the site or there is no desire to make a flower bed, you can decorate the trees or veranda with hanging insects.
These can be made from ordinary bottles or from round containers that can be found on the open market. For production, in addition to 1 and 2 liter containers, you will also need glue, acrylic paints and scissors.
A small bottle will be the body of a ladybug; it should be painted black. You can also make a body by cutting out the middle of a one and a half liter bottle and joining the remaining parts together. In order to fix them, the bottom and neck at the junction are wrapped with tape or tape. Two wings are cut out of a large bottle and painted bright red. After drying, black dots are added to the wings. The finished wings are glued to the body using a heat gun. eyes on ready-made craft are applied with paint.
Advice! If you don’t have glue on hand, you can attach the wings using a furniture stapler.
Wings can also be made in two large ones plastic spoons, which are also painted red with speckles. This performance will look most advantageous.
