The imagination of people who createhand-made articles. It seemed, where already further? It is simply impossible to come up with something new, all ideas have long been realized. But no, the lovely man-made products of skilled craftsmen continue to amaze and please us. Have you ever seen a parrot made of plastic bottles? No? Then let's try to make it together.
Procurement of materials
In addition to the main material for creating a parrotfrom plastic bottles we will need: quality glue, needles with threads and acrylic paints. The body of a bird can be easily cut out of a foam, sometimes it is made from a five-liter plastic jar, and more often they use various bottles that have served their time. It all depends on what size you want to see the future handsome. However, let's agree on this. Since we decided that we will have a "parrot" craft from plastic bottles, then we will stick to the latter option.
We make the parrot's body
For reasons of beauty, we take a bottle with a "waist",narrowed in the upper part, the lower will serve for the bird with the trunk, the upper one - the head. Next we make blanks of feathers, small in size, as well as wings and tail - much longer in size. It will be more correct if they are immediately dyed in different colors and allowed to dry, so that you do not get dirty once again.
Then, using a needle and thread, one by one, eachThe feather is sewn to the wings, alternating colors. You can, of course, first make cuts on them and gradually insert in each of them a feather, but nevertheless it will be more reliable to fix the plumage of the parrot with threads. Further along the sides and behind the torso, in the same incisions we insert ready wings and tail. No less accurately around the whole body we fix the "feathers" so that our friend looks a little ruffled, and we build paws. So, half the battle is done, the bottom of the parrot is made of plastic bottles.
Master the head of the parrot
We proceed to the main part of our work - the head of the parrot, because it will complete the entire appearance of this bird.
To decorate the beak on the bottle,make a semi-circular incision. Then from another suitable container carefully cut out the circular sector and paint with black acrylic paint. After it dries, the future beak is bent and inserted into that workpiece. Then you can show originality, erecting a likeness of a palm on the bottle neck. To do this, cut thin strips, paint them in green, and put them in a place where the bottle should have a cork. We make a bouncy crest, add a "couple strokes" to the plumage of the head, draw or glue the nose and eyes, you can small buttons to look more natural. Everything, the main part of the work is finished.
To brighten the colors and to ourthe parrot poured and shone in the sun, you can put on it a layer of colorless varnish. And to ensure that it was stable and not "flew away", a handful of small stones should be poured into the bottle itself.
You just have a look at our parrot made of plastic bottles. Well, is not he beautiful?
Someone he reminds us of
Carefully looking closely, you can see that our homemade poultry reminds us strongly of someone.
And for sure, she really looks like the same merry and cocky parrot Kesha from a series of animated films that has grown fond of children and adults alike.
We do not doubt, our own hands madethe homemade parrot Kesha from plastic bottles will take a worthy place in the summer garden, and maybe even somewhere in the house and with his presence will long please and delight all the guests.
