How to make sunflower from plastic bottle

Good day! I want to introduce you to my new job – Sunflowers!
For us, as always need the plastic bottles that are lying around everywhere.
Now we will have to do the beauty!

We need:
plastic bottles (many, many transparent; 2 green, 1 brown)
thin wire
soldering or pliers and carnations
Scissors are not sorry
saucer
paint
brush
stationery knife

From midway bottle cut straight portion and the saucer as a template cut out the circle.

Cut a circle of the diameter to the middle.

Heat up the soldering iron, you can use the nail. Carnations glowed in the pliers clamped on fire,
with all of this must be ventilated room (although a quick plastic surgery does not even smell, but still).
We connect the two ends of the cut circle overlapped, tightly clutching the two surfaces to each other!
Hot soldering iron making hole in both surfaces at once, hold for 2-3 seconds.
Maybe make a few holes for the best clips. When we let go of her fingers – 2 pieces must hold tight to each other.
If suddenly you have affixed crookedly two surfaces, you can tear it all, and fasten a new place, where the surface has not leaky.
Subsequently, the holes are closed and can not be seen.
Then in the same way, we will attach the leaves to our sunflowers.

Leaflets we cut from a transparent bottle. For example, take a bottle of merindy, but will suit any other.
Cut the upper part to the middle and neck.

Cut into 6 parts, i.e. petals.

Sharpens the petals from above and below, in order to looked like a real tab.
In the photo from left to a pointed petal, and indeed the way you want, so they cut out and, you can even make curly))
Try to only that they were longer (12-15 cm)

Series will be only 3, but we will be patient and bottles.)) In the second and third row of petals will need a smaller (shorter).

Further to our pitch-based starting fastened in the same manner (soldering).
Firmly holding the tab to the middle, (cone, which is done before) Burn in it a few holes, hold for 2-3 seconds.
The entire process is that the temperature of the plastic melt, and two surface flow into each other.
When cool, so do not stick so artful way. To the other. A few holes over the entire surface, we do for the strength of the structure.

So we are taking the first row of petals. All petals of this series will be turned outwards.
It will be seen in the next photo. Petals should not be stuck (in other words not invented) overlap, and should be located nearby.

That number finished, and now you can paint it. I prefer to paint at once, because the next row will stop painting.
Please note that all the petals of this series are turned down. The petals of the next series we turn up.
The embossed bottle you use, the better. But in general, you can use any of what you have on hand,

Attach the second row of petals slightly lower than the first, so that all the holes closed.

In this photo clearly shows that the pitch of the second row are turned upward (or outward).
It is necessary for the volume of the flower.

Not an easy task to attach the second row, but we deal with it. To do this, you need a little push by hand the first row of petals,
and then firmly press the two surfaces together.

Well, that is ready to second row. We painted it, and move on to the third.

In row 3 the pitch must be shorter than the first half. I understand if you stop there,
because short petals attach just uncomfortable. BUT! I will not stop)) Folding in half the pitch of the first and second row, I matured a third!

With two rows of leaves sunflower beautiful, I do not argue. But with the third ….. Agree …! Just yum!

The next step, with the same saucer, we cut 2 slices of green and brown bottles.

Turning to his sunflower rear side, try the same method to attach the green circle,
preliminary having cut it to mid on diametru.Eto need in order to close all the holes, and in order to look nice ass.

After cutting the bottle in the middle of using the part where the neck.

Cut it into 5 parts spearheaded edge.

Here’s what happened when we attached a green circle. Cutting up the middle we achieve a snug fit on the perimeter of the circle, and the edge
then fix the lap of one of the holes edge. At the same time we make the hole through the middle of the 2, 2 parts.

Stretching the wire through them to fix the sepals.

The sepals also make 2 holes on different sides.

Putting sunflower and sepal using wire. Screwed her bundle on the side of the sepals.

Now we turn over sunflower face. Attach as it is the middle of a brown, a few holes to keep,
tkvse still it does not bear the load. I prefer the middle of a paint too. At first I did zakrshivayu black.
