The way to Make a Plastic Bottle Flower

To start, you’ll make the bottom to your flower.  That begins with a thick moldable wire that’s sturdy and can maintain its form.  Create a base by curving right into a circle on one finish.  

Then, you’ll curve the wire upwards about 12 inches, and curve over the top to create a hook form.  

On the very finish of the hook, you’ll create a small circle for hanging the flower from later.  

Set this apart, and start reducing the glitter paper into strips to wrap across the wire.  I reduce it into 1/4″ strips. 

Start on the backside of the circle base, and begin wrapping the wire with the strips of glitter paper. 

Proceed this course of, overlapping and including additional glue as wanted.  On the top of the wire, depart the circle/hook uncovered. 

Put aside the bottom, and start making your flower by reducing the highest 1/3 of a bottle off.  Discard the bottom of the bottle holding the highest lid finish solely. 

Now, paint this piece pink and set it apart to dry fully. 

As soon as the paint has dried, use a soldering iron to make a gap within the heart of the lid on the bottle piece. 

Now, make a loop of rope or thick twine and string it by way of the outlet within the lid in order that the loop is on the highest, and a knot is tied on the within of the lid to carry it in place.  

Go away the 2 ends lengthy sufficient to dangle down simply to the sting or a bit under the sting, of the reduce finish of the bottle. 

Glue the q-tips, one on every bit of rope dangling out from the underside of the flower. 

Lower a chunk of inexperienced felt that’s round 8″ lengthy and three″ extensive. 

Then, fold this in half a couple of instances, and reduce a “v” form onto one fringe of the felt. 

Unfold this after which wrap it across the neck of the bottle.  Glue into place so it covers the neck and higher a part of the flower with the scallops pointing towards the underside of the flower.  Trim any extra felt off the top. 

Now, use tape or glue to connect pretend flowers alongside the stem you already created till you’re glad with the look.
