Make the tail and mustache from colored paper (glue with transparent glue). Instead of plastic blanks in the form of eyes, you can use buttons. Well, we cut out the ears and parts of the muzzle from cardboard and fold them over. You can glue them onto plasticine.

Make a whole family of big and small kittens and place them on your desktop. In the upper tray, if desired, you can store various small things like paper clips or something else.

Decorate using strips of cardboard or draw something with a marker. Fasten the two parts of the structure with a strip of cardboard and add a little plasticine so that the cardboard seat holds well.

The caterpillar can be made very long or very small. It all depends on how much you like yogurt. By the way, you can change the length of your caterpillar as new cups appear.

We will need:

• cups of the same color;
• skewers for canapés;
• cardboard;
• plasticine;
• double sided tape.

The cups need to be fastened together in twos. Place them with their upper parts facing each other and glue them on plasticine or glue.

The back wall should rise slightly. Make it out of white cardboard, draw a muzzle with a nose in the form of a faucet. Make a hairstyle out of straw and cover it with a cardboard cap. Make hands for the washbasin from a piece of fabric (imitation of a towel). And use a washcloth to make a miniature copy of it.

Every housewife strives for ideal cleanliness and order in the house, so all women try to get rid of excess trash as quickly as possible. But you don’t need to be so categorical; for example, plastic food packaging should be saved.
Today we will share with you the secret of creating a charming little thing from plastic containers. Children will be delighted with this idea; by the way, they can be involved in joint production.

YOU WILL NEED
plastic box
scissors
hole puncher
colored permanent markers
PROGRESS
Cut out the bottom of the package. All you need is the flat part of a plastic container.


Print any outline picture. You can use coloring for these purposes.


Redraw the picture onto plastic using permanent markers. Please note that the final size of the figurine will be reduced by approximately 70%. Therefore, initially the drawing should be large.


Using a hole punch, make a small hole above the design and cut out a plastic figure along the outline.


After preheating the oven to 165 degrees, place the plastic figures on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the figures for exactly 3 minutes.


After baking, each of the figures will become smooth and denser. Now they can be attached as decoration to the bracelet.


These figures can also be used as New Year's toys to the Christmas tree! If you liked this craft idea, share the article with your friends.
My name is Irina, I live in Germany - in a country where absolutely everything is sold in plastic packaging, which migrates in tons from stores to garbage bins. I've been doing it for a long time different types handicrafts and am constantly faced with the issue of optimal storage of a bunch of little things that accumulate all the time and require new boxes, caskets, etc. In this master class I want to show several ways to create convenient storage containers from various plastic packaging. The advantage of this kind of containers is that they are easy to make at home, they can be made in any size and in any quantity, the transparency of the plastic allows you to quickly find the right thing, the material for containers can be found in every home, such containers for small items can also be used on in the country house, in the garage, etc...
So, first we’ll make the simplest mini-container from a plastic bottle:

We heat the tip of the knife to make it easier to start cutting the bottle.


Cut the bottle into two parts with a knife. If the bottle does not have edges, in order to avoid large errors when cutting, glue the tape at the required height and cut the bottle exactly along the edge of the tape.

Let's melt the edges of the bottle a little to avoid cutting your hands during further processing. The bottle should be kept at a distance of 0.5-1 cm from the flame, turning evenly. The unevenness of the edges after heat treatment will hide the crocheting.

We heat up a steel knitting needle and make holes along the edge of the bottle, which will have to fit the size of the hook with which we will tie the edges of the bottle.






When piercing plastic with a hot knitting needle, sharp and dark traces of plastic often remain on the surface... They can be removed different ways, I use a regular grater to clean my feet (the sandpaper is too sharp - it damages the surface of the plastic, it’s not very convenient to use a knife)


Now we proceed to crocheting the edge with a single crochet.




We thread the tip of the thread and glue it inside the container.


Then we thread a thick thread into a gypsy needle and sew the entire row with colored thread, without missing a single hole.




We thread the end of the thread and glue it again.


If desired, our small container can be decorated. The easiest way to decorate is with double-sided tape, ribbon and rhinestones. You can also use thread winding on double-sided tape.

Cut the tape to the required length and glue it with double-sided tape. We cut off the excess tape.






We make a bow at the junction, you can stick on a rhinestone and the mini-container is ready!


We make different containers of the required height and glue them with a gun into a larger and denser plastic package (the photo shows the packaging in which we sell food products)




Apply hot glue to the bottom and quickly glue the container to the package (hold it a little so that it sets properly)






We paste double-sided tape, any tape, or wrap it with thread on our box, decorate it with small things, and our first box for small things is ready! I made this box for the dacha to store various little things that you are always looking for in different boxes: pencils, small tools, keys, etc.


If we take our containers from plastic bottles If we make a high harness and thread the lace, then we will get pencil cases that can be either placed or hung. They take up little space and are easy to see










Another option for making boxes for storing small items: in it I used thick plastic cups from Danone yogurt.


The principle of making a box is the same; if the height of the box allows, you can make two tiers from cups, using cardboard (or thick plastic) for the bottom of the second tier, onto which I hot glued the plastic bottom from the packaging.




If desired, boxes for small items can be made with lids. For these purposes, I took old plastic folders, cut them to the size of the box and, after making holes with a hole punch or a hot knitting needle, stitched them together with the edge of the plastic box. Since in the photo I have a two-tier plastic box, for convenience I made a handle from scraps of the folder, which I also glued with hot glue to the bottom of the second tier.






The finishing elements are glued with hot glue.




Large plastic bottles make great storage containers small toys, parts from the designer, etc. for the children's room and kitchen. Decorating such containers can be a joint activity for parent and child. The principle of creating such a large container is exactly the same as shown above.





From the remaining top parts of plastic bottles we can make a lot of exotic flowers and decorate our balcony or summer cottage with them. But this is a topic for another master class!
