Here is such a pretty wreath you can make yourself from plastic bottles... This craft will brighten up any room or utility room. Decorative, simple and interesting.

Necessary materials

Not a lot of materials are required. As a base, of course, you need small plastic bottles. The smaller the volume of the bottles, the smaller the finished wreath will turn out, and the neater it will look. But sometimes, for large rooms or for a garden, it is better to use bottles bigger size so that the craft does not get lost in the foliage.

For connecting individual workpieces in this case it is best to use strong, thin and flexible metal wire. Of course, it is quite possible to connect the parts in any other suitable way, it all depends on personal preference and the materials at hand.

In addition to the basic materials, you should also pick up additional decorative elements in order to decorate the finished wreath from plastic bottles.

You will need a little from the tool: a hole punch, an awl or a nail, good scissors or a sharp knife.

Preparatory stage

The bottles must be thoroughly washed beforehand. You can use the usual detergents, but then the plastic bottles should be rinsed well in clean water. Also, all stickers and labels are stripped from the bottles. When everything is ready, you can proceed to the main thing - to create a wreath from plastic bottles.

We make blanks for a wreath from plastic bottles

To begin with, the bottom of properly prepared plastic bottles is cut off. It is curly and has a standard shape that allows you to make interesting details like flowers.

With the help of large scissors, which are very convenient to work with in this case, these blanks are shaped into flowers, as shown in the photo below.

A lot of such details will be required, but it all depends on the size of the wreath, the larger it is, the more blanks you need to make.

We connect the blanks in a wreath

Ready-made blanks from plastic bottles are combined into a wreath. To do this, each individual part is attached to the other in checkerboard using soft wire. Before this, the workpieces are pierced with a hole punch or a hot awl (nail).

Wash and remove all plastic bottles from labels. Using a sharp knife, cut off the bottom, stepping back from the lowest points 4-5 cm.The remaining parts of the bottles will also be useful for Christmas crafts, so do not throw them away, let them wait their turn for a while. Fold them up more compactly by inserting one into the other.
Paint the bottoms with acrylic paints in New Year's colors. Since Christmas wreaths are made from fir branches, green color desirable among these elements. If you have green plastic bottle bottoms, you don't need to paint them.

Step 2

While the bottoms are drying, we will prepare the core of the garland from a strong wire, onto which we will string the elements. In each bottom, use a heated nail to make a hole in the middle. In addition, you can give a different configuration to plastic bottoms by jamming or straightening the edges, or by making a curly edge using scissors. You can stick glitter, colored buttons or bows on the plastic.

Step 3

Now we string the bottle bottoms onto the wire in an alternating color sequence. After the wreath is assembled, we hook the edges of the wire. Tie the junction lush bow where you can attach a bell or Christmas tree ball.
You now have a bright new Christmas wreath.
