It's no secret that today ordinary polyethylene packages have become a real problem and threat to the ecology of our planet. That is why now all sorts of processing and recycling ideas are so relevant, especially plastic.
If such ideas are not alien to you, for example, you can turn unnecessary polyethylene packets in such wonderful birds. It is not only beautiful and useful, but also very symbolic.
You will need:
- cardboard;
- plastic bags;
- Scotch;
- Metal wire;
- Thin wooden sticks;
- self-sustaining mass for modeling or other similar material;
- acrylic paints;
- decor;
- instruments
To start on cardboard or sheet of paper, we draw stencils for the body of the future bird. Please note that in our case the torso is already immediately with the tail, but if you want to make wings, it is better to add them later.
Then we take a metal wire and envelope it painted early contour, thus preparing the framework of the future craft. The beak in the blank from the wire does not take into account.
Next, we take polyethylene packages and wind them on the framework of the wire, the tips of the packages are fixed using the tape. Thus, we increase the required volume and give the workpiece the desired shape, repeating the contours of the bird case.
The preparation of the billet is covered on top of a self-healing mass for modeling or other similar material. We give the mass to dry completely, after which, if necessary, glue the surface with fine-grained emery paper.
From the bottom of the workpiece we produce two small non-separation holes for your feet. As a leg, you can use sticks or wire. Fix the paws with glue. In the place of the attachment we disguise them, a little increasing "female".
At the next stage, add the bird to the beak and if you wish the wings. In our case, there are no last. We give the material to dry completely.
Well, that's all, you can move to painting and decor, and here it all depends only on your imagination!
And below you can see a detailed video on how to make such decorative birds from polyethylene packages with your own hands.
