Glue should be applied to the rope at the point where it is bonded to the rubber, and also after the completion of the circle, on the side of the twine, where the ropes should be in contact with each other.

Useful and beautiful crafts from trash to give

Do-it-yourself creation of the necessary and useful crafts from trash for a summer residence will help not only get rid of old things, but also bring back to life those of them that were dear and loved. And recycle various plastic packaging, allowing it to benefit, not pollute environment- an invaluable contribution to the health of our planet.

Any old thing can be used in the country. From an old bicycle you can make an original flower bed.

How can plastic containers be used?

The use of empty PET bottles for the benefit and beauty has long been one of the areas of folk art in our country. But besides them, there are also canisters from detergents and other chemicals, which are quite durable and often have a significant volume (5-10 liters), which allows them to be used in the country for household purposes. For example, instead of buying a new watering can from the same plastic, you can successfully use a large package from detergent, antifreeze or automotive oil. To make a watering can you need:

Figure 1. Watering can from a plastic bottle.

• canister with a volume of 5-10 l;
• drill with a thin drill (1-2 mm).

Thoroughly clean the canister liquid soap rinse several times with water, dishwashing detergent cleans well from oils. Drill several holes in the lid of the prepared container to get perforation, as on a watering can grid. In order for air to enter the canister and water to pour out of the perforated lid, you will need to make another hole - to equalize the pressure inside and outside the container. It can be cut in a convenient place for this at the top of the canister, for example, in a handle, as in fig. one.

Large capacity watering can serve more than one season on country garden. From a small container in the same way, you can make a watering can for indoor plants in a city apartment or a children's watering can for young helpers. They will be able to decorate a new thing with waterproof paints or a marker.

A plastic bottle from mineral water (1.5-2 l) is also suitable for irrigation. To make a sprinkler, you will also need 12-15 plastic cases from ballpoint pens or markers, used felt-tip pens and similar items that accumulate in many families with children.

Visually divide the bottle in half lengthwise. In one half of it, drill or burn with a thin soldering iron 3 rows of holes, 4-5 pieces in a row. Their diameter should be slightly less than the thinnest part of the handle body. Cut off the body to a length of 4-5 cm, leaving the side where the writing rod came out. This is a finished thin hole. Insert with force the resulting nozzles into the holes of the bottle with the cut side.

For watering the beds, you can make a sprinkler from a plastic bottle.

Choose a hose adapter with a reduced diameter. Measure the smaller part of the adapter. Drill a hole in the cap of the PET bottle in such a way that the adapter fits very tightly into it. Connect the finished watering device to the hose and let the water run. With such an impromptu nozzle, you can water the beds, holding it in your hands or laying it on the ground with the handles sticking up.

To entertain the kids in the country, you can make a real sailboat from an empty bottle. Rice. 2. In addition to the bottle itself, you will need:

• two thin nails or pieces of wire;
• neat sticks for masts (wooden skewers for barbecue are also suitable);
• some thread for the rigging of the ship;
• paper, thin plastic (from thick bags or multifor), non-woven from packaging, etc. for sails;
• awl, marker, scissors.

Draw a line from the bottom to the neck of the bottle strictly vertically. Mark 3 points on it at approximately equal distance from each other. Pierce with an awl and expand the holes at these points with scissors. The size of the holes should be slightly less than the thickness of the sticks for the masts. At the bottom of the bottle, closer to the side where the holes for the masts, make two holes for nails or wire. Insert them there, and sticks into the holes for the masts. It should be noted that the middle mast is always slightly higher than the other two.

Cut the sails and put them on the masts, giving a slight bulge. From the upper ends of the rear mast to the nails on the “stern” of the ship, stretch the threads, pulling them slightly: they will hold the sticks and prevent them from dangling to the sides.

Figure 2. Making a ship from a plastic bottle.

Pull the thread from the top of the middle mast to the top of the back and fasten off. From the top of the middle mast, stretch the thread down to the hull and, circling around it once or twice, return it to the top of the mast from the opposite side. Fasten the front mast in the same way and, additionally from its top, stretch the thread to the neck of the bottle, pulling and securing it there.

For the stability of the sailboat on the water, pour river sand or fine gravel into the bottle by about 1/3 of the volume of the bottle. Shaking it, even out the sand on the bottom of the bottle, lying on its side. Conduct a test run of the ship. If there is a list to either side or trim to the stern or bow, eliminate it by moving the sand inside. When complete balance of the toy is achieved, it can be launched into the pond. There are many design options for such a boat: it all depends on the imagination. You can make a pirate ship from a dark beer bottle with black sails, and a boat with scarlet sails and a white hull. Big ship - big voyage. What if there is no water nearby? But maybe there is an old bathtub somewhere?

How to use an old acrylic bathtub in the country?

It can make a wonderful mini-pond, near which the whole family will be happy to relax. To do this, you just need to close the drain holes in the body, choose a place and dig a hole according to the size of the bath. Place the acrylic body in the pit, cover the gaps between it and the wall of the pit with earth or sand. Decorate the banks of the pond with stones or sand, plant near-water plants, fill the bathtub with water. Rice. 3.

Sometimes, to give a look close to natural, the inner surface of the bath is painted in dark colors.

Figure 3. Stages of making a reservoir from an old bath.

If there is no need for a reservoir on the site, or there is a real pond, then with a flick of the wrist an old acrylic bath can be turned into an elegant new sofa or garden bench.

Rice. 4. To do this, you only need a grinder and the bath itself.

The process of making a sofa is simple, like everything ingenious: you just need to cut down one of the walls of the bathtub along the body.

If she already has legs, then the piece of furniture is completely ready after sanding the cut.

If there are no legs, then you should look for them among old furniture or make them from suitable logs.

The sofa installed in the room can be decorated with pillows and a bedspread, but on the street you can leave it without textiles - you don’t have to worry about rain.
