Royal pigeon from plastic bottles. Master class from Oksana Abramova
(As a basis, the idea of making birds from plastic bottles of Alena Zinovyeva)
For manufacture, we need:
1) Plastic bottle (from under detergent),
2) Metal-plastic pipe, 12mm diameter., Long 54cm.,
3) Dairy bottles, 24pcs.
4) two 1.5l. transparent bottles
5) Wire,
6) a small piece of foam,
7) self-tapping screws (with a small hat no more than 1.5 cm long), screwdriver, stationery, sandpaper №1 and №0, Shilo,
8) adhesive gun and transparent glue "moment".
9) twine.
We form a framework:
1) Water out the shape of the legs from the metalplastic pipe so that the middle part is smoothly layered inside the bottle, and the legs to the bottom, slightly bent forward.
2) cutting holes where our alleged legs will insert, at risk, which is stacked by 1/3 of the edge.
We insert the legs and secure on the self-tapping screw.
From the top of 1,5l. A transparent bottle form a neck: we cut a slightly less than half of the bottle, cut it and fold it with a cone, fasten with wire. If the cone, you will seem narrowly from behind, expand it by inserting a small triangular piece.
For the manufacture of "Lenaeks", cut out the middle part of the bottle, cutting it in half. From the rectangles received rectangles.
The resulting neck and "filling" attach to the canister on the self-tapping screw. The form is ready.
For the manufacture of feathers, cut the dairy bottles on 5 parts. Each part is cut into small features, as shown in the photo.
We start closing "pins". To do this, chop 6 upper parts.
We glue on the adhesive gun, first inside, and then outside.
For convenience, disconnect the "pillar" from the canister and continue to close with small flippers with wire.
In the process of work, I realized that it was necessary to push the back of the canister for 1 cm. Cut it off, as shown in the photo and secured with self-draws. You can do it at the very beginning when you start assembling the form. With the help of self-tapping, we begin to close the back of our form.
The next step, begin to close the beech canisters from the bottom to the feathers, as if left under the fluffy part of the "Flashing".
Attach the "pins" in place.
We continue to close the sides of the canister with small feathers with self-tapping screws.
We remove the neck and start covering it with feathers with wire, roughly below the middle.
Connect ready-made parts with each other.
We cut the upper part of the bottle in half, then finely cut a large part, and so far we postpone, it will come in handy for us a little later.
With the help of adhesive guns, we begin to glue our plumage in a circle. We stop without reaching the upper part of about 2.5-3cm.
It's time to put our bird on your feet! For the production of feet, we need a wire that is well bended, medium thickness. 1) We insert the wire between the metalplastic pipe and the converter, 2) without reaching the edge, approximately 0.3-0.4 mm. We enhance metalplastic pipe with wire. Bend the wire, gradually forming the fingers of the feet.
I smear each finger with glue and wind the twine twice (back there). Our feet are ready.
We wear ready-made feet and be surely wrapped with glue for strength (so that they do not move). Here we are already standing yourself!
We cut off the strip from the corrugated tube about 1 cm, glit to the metal-plastic pipe to close the wire.
From the remaining upper parts (which we cut off when they closed the neck), we cut small feathers.
We glue them with an adhesive gun to a metal-plastic pipe from the inner and outer side.
The place of the junction (in front) is closed in the same way as behind, with a small strip of corrugated tube.
We got gorgeous legs!
From a small piece of grid-slave (cell 25 * 25) prepare the shape for fastening the tail.
From the upper parts of the bottle, cut feathers.
With the help of a wire, start mounting the thumbs up to the grid.
I turn over and attach the following row (turn over the grid in order to make it easier to fix the wire).
I turn over and attach the next row feathers.
We turn over again and begin to close the visible place of fastening of feathers with small rugs (close visible wire). The last row falls below the edge of the chain grid by about 1.5 cm, in order
To attach them using self-tapping screws to the back of the canister.
Gently fit under the top row of feathers and screw with self-tapping screws.
Be sure to fix our tail with self-assembly (we grab feathers for the edges). The top of the bottle is cut into 3 parts and with the help of self-tapping screws (screw to the canister) close the last row of feathers at the tail.
Getting to work with wings.
We measure the canister and draw the scheme of wings (it is possible that the dimensions of your canister will not coincide with mine, so you can measure it yourself and draw a similar scheme). We carry it for 1.5 liters. Plastic bottle with a marker, cut out. Just in case, try on the paper first and make sure it coincides with the shape and goes well.
From the top of the bottle, we cut long, flying feathers for wings.
We start laying out the drawing of the wing. Breeping with wire.
Finished wings are attached to the canister using self-tapping screws (at least 3-4 cm long) on the sides, carefully subject to auxilion so that the fastening is not noticeable.
We proceed to cut out the shape of the head. For this, we need a piece of foam of 7 cm * 10 cm.
With the help of a stationery knife neatly cut off the foam, giving it the shape of the head. Be sure to face the head with putty (I use an acrylic putty). We dry well, blame to smoothness and coated with PVA glue. He will give us an excellent adhesion of glue with plastic feathers.
With the help of self-tapping screws, we attach the finished head to the neck. Do not hurry!
First select the position of the head for your bird!
Get the eyes (I buy eyes for dolls in fabric stores). With the help of twine (with which we closed the fingers of the legs) and glue guns, stick the eyelids around the eyes. Continue
That's ready for my royal dove! TRANSIME (acrylic paint) is kerpping him and give me to paint!
