How to make a cone from plastic bottles with your own hands. Craft "Hedgehog" from pine cones and a plastic bottle (two manufacturing options). How to make a hedgehog from a bottle and pine cones

These are the cones I make from plastic bottles.

The manufacturing principle is the same as in the Master Class: Rose from plastic bottles

Cut from plastic bottle 12 squares of different sizes.

We round the corners and cut out something like a daisy.

When all the details are ready, light a candle and burn the edges of the petals so that they fall down and the flower itself into a convex bowl.

Keep the part at a distance from the flame so that the plastic only deforms, but does not melt.

When all the parts are ready, arrange them according to size.
the top three are smaller than the bottom piece by a quarter. We make a puncture in the center with an awl, and then string the remaining parts in descending order.

We attach a bead between the parts, they will also create the tail of the cone.

When the cone is ready, cut out a spruce sprig from a green bottle, form it above the candle and secure it above the cone.

The Christmas tree toy is ready.

You can't buy this anywhere.

And this is my first bump. I made it three years ago. here the corners are sharp and simply bend back, without a candle. It can be done with children too. The assembly principle is the same.
By the way, such toys are a treasure for the street.

I hope you will find my MK useful in preparing for the New Year!

Crafts are often intended for landscape design of a site, but sometimes they also look relevant in an apartment. One striking example of widespread use is cones made from plastic bottles. Small, neat specimens will organically fit into the New Year’s interior of the room, while giant products will effectively decorate the local area. The proposed master classes will help you master the art of forming cones for various purposes.

Pine cone: manufacturing stages

A pine cone, depending on the size chosen, can become a decoration for a plastic Christmas tree in the yard or be used at home as New Year's toys or serve as a key fob.

To make one copy you need to prepare:

Plastic bottle 2 l. The color is chosen arbitrarily, a brown or dark green product looks natural, transparent plastic can be interestingly colored at your own discretion.
A pine branch is formed from a plastic bottle in a rich green hue.
Sketches of the layers of a pine cone, made on thick paper.
Large dark colored bead and wire.
Marker, scissors and candle.

So, Pine cone from a plastic bottle master class:

A cone without a frame looks uninteresting. A twig will help you achieve a spectacular composition. To do this, a strip is cut out of a green plastic bottle, and frequent cuts are made on both sides. The workpiece is held above the candle so that the “needles” move in different directions and the branch becomes fluffy.

At this point, the transformation of the bottle into a pine cone can be considered complete.

Giant cone

The second method is ideal for decorating the area. This could be a children's playground, a summer cottage or a house flower garden.

Available materials and tools:

Many bottles of the same volume and shape. You can use 1.5 L, 2 L or 2.5 L plastic containers. It all depends on the desired result.
Attention!
The container is selected in one, two or three shades. Usually brown, dark yellow and green specimens are used.
Corrugated fittings or a smooth, pointed stick for stringing workpieces. The length depends on the volume and number of bottles prepared for the cone.

Manicure and stationery scissors (entirely metal, without plastic handles).

Giant cone made from plastic bottles master class:

The cone can be made monochromatic or combine 2-3 colors. Storing a large amount of plastic containers is not always convenient, so after accumulating 5-6 copies, the bottles can be cut, as described in the master class, and left folded. This way they won't take up much free space.

The sad time, the charm of the eyes, has finally come into its own. It's already mid-autumn, and for most parents this is the time when they help their children with autumn crafts. With a high degree of probability we can say that in all primary school

and in kindergartens tasks were given to make crafts with the theme of autumn. Like most parents, we found an idea for a craft on the Internet.

Our choice fell on the pine cone hedgehog. In most instructions, to create a hedgehog it was necessary to have: cones, plasticine, a plastic bottle, a cup and glue. We bought glue, we collected pine cones in the forest, there was plenty of plasticine in the nursery, but we didn’t like the idea of a plastic bottle. We didn’t want to cut, trim and glue the hedgehog’s body, so we found another bottle that was 100% shaped like a bald hedgehog.

Following the instructions, we covered the bottle with plasticine in order to then attach the cones to it, but we had no idea how much effort and nerves we were destined to spend to secure at least the first row of cones. The cones, smeared with glue, did not want to stick to the plasticine. The idea of creating a hedgehog hung by a thread.

Our second idea on how to strengthen the cones on the bottle boiled down to the fact that we increased the layer of plasticine so that the cones would sink into the plasticine as deeply as possible, however, this method did not lead to a positive result.

We once again went through several instructions and complained that our Atlant glue may not have been able to cope with gluing these materials. We decided to buy Moment Crystal glue, exactly identical to what we used in other instructions.

The money for the glue was wasted. The glue did not stick the pine cones either to the plasticine or directly to the bottle. Thinking about how to glue pine cones to a bottle led us to a wonderful idea that, we hope, will help you quickly and without stress make a hedgehog out of pine cones.

Are mothers ready to sacrifice their tights for a craft for their child? I think yes. This is what happened in our case. We cut warm tights and pulled them onto the bottle. The cut end was easily hidden in the neck and closed with a lid.

Then the torment with gluing the cones began again. At first glance, the glue penetrated through the fabric, and the cone immediately stuck, but they were held unstable and, if you slightly pulled the cone, it could be torn off.

“Why wait?” - you ask, the answer is simple: we are doing a craft for kindergarten, and every child in it will want to touch the hedgehog, and in such a design there are no guarantees that after meeting the hedgehog he will not remain bald.

A needle and thread are our salvation! We quickly and easily sewed the cones onto the tights stretched over the bottle, and the hedgehog acquired a recognizable appearance.

Then we began to wonder what kind of eyes to give our hedgehog. There wasn't much choice, but his mood depended on it. The eyes are sold in sewing departments, and they cost 5 rubles per pair. You can see the result of our choice below.

The craft in the shape of a hedgehog seemed under-designed to us, so we decorated it in autumn colors. A sprig of rowan, Christmas tree branches, an apple, flowers and the hedgehog himself found their home in a Frisbee plate. Bought for the mood and never used for its intended purpose, the frisbee found a second life as the basis for our craft.

Don’t be upset if you don’t have such a plate; a shoe box lid or other items from your everyday life can easily serve as a stand for the craft.

This is what our hedgehog looks like now, and tomorrow he will move to a permanent place of residence in a kindergarten.

We hope that the children will like the craft, and that you have found the answer to the question of how to make a hedgehog from cones.

Do homework as a family, it brings you closer together, and check out my blog, where you will find a lot of interesting things, for example, from plastic cups. Ahead New Year, and it’s time to think about what your craft will be like.

And finally, a small gallery of photos of our autumn hedgehog.

These are the flowers I call them Crocus, they are also called Cone and Pineapple can be made from plastic bottles. On the left there are bottles with a volume of 2.5 liters, and on the right 1.5 liters. One flower is made from bottles only!!! one volume. For this you need: manicure scissors and regular ones (you can use a stationery knife). I repeat once again, bottles for one flower only of the same volume and preferably similar in shape, fittings (I took a corrugated figure eight, you can also use a wooden stick) centimeters long 20-30 longer than the resulting flower, patience and great desire.

So we take the bottles, remove the label, and wash them well. This is how we pierce the side of the bottle (I invented this method myself, through trial and error, at first I tried to pierce the bottom, but it’s not very easy).

Then we insert scissors into the hole and cut like this (why I write that the scissors are manicure scissors, because they are very convenient for cutting the bottom, I tried with regular ones, I broke the handle).

Leave approximately 0.5 cm from the edge of the protrusion

This is how it should turn out.

And so on near each protrusion of the bottom. As a result, you get such an asterisk. If someone gets scared, don’t be scared; it’s cut easily and quickly, and this is the most difficult part of the work.

Unfortunately, not all bottles are even, there are some that I don’t recommend making from, they stick out in different directions and don’t turn out so beautifully. But it’s on this bottle that you can better see how to cut further, but with ordinary scissors. Without cutting to the hangers .Exactly how much should be left becomes clearer through trial and error. (Cut four or five bottles and insert one into the other with the neck down. They should fit a little tight, then you will get what you saw in the first picture). It’s better not We will always have time to cut before cutting.

This is approximately what completely cut bottles should look like. Please note that all bottles are cut the same way (to avoid a sea of questions like: How is the top bottle cut? The same as everyone else). That’s all. For me, it’s more convenient to cut off all the bottoms first. then, I just cut everything off to the end. Don’t forget to take bottles for one flower only!!! of the same size!!! And advice, for those who have nowhere to put bottles for a flower. I cut as I accumulate bottles, 5-6 at a time pieces, and I put one in one with the neck down, as a rule, I have three blanks at once: 1.5 liter; 2 liters; 2.5. And you can put it in a corner or even on a windowsill. And once you get the required height, take it out to street, drive in a pin and string a flower (in a checkerboard pattern alternating the cut out leaves), the pin should not be visible.

Leave approximately 0.5 cm from the edge of the protrusion

This is how it should turn out.

And you can alternate the colors of the bottles according to your taste. I gave two of these to kindergarten. On the left are 2.5 liter bottles, and on the right are 2 liter bottles. You can try with different colors, blue mineral water bottles also look good.

This is what they look like on the street.

Finally, I’ll write that the IDEA is not mine, I just want it to be clearer to everyone, and so that you don’t throw away bottles, you can make such beauty out of them everywhere (in the garden, near the entrance, near the school, near kindergarten etc.).Thank you for your attention. I will be glad if it is useful to you. If you have any questions, write, I will answer everyone.
