WICKER CANDY CAN FROM PLASTIC BOTTLES

Send

Plastic bottles can become indispensable assistants in decorating a summer cottage. Craftsmen have long learned to use waste material to decorate flowerbeds and adjoining territories. And such a wonderful wicker candy can quite harmoniously fit into the interior of the gazebo or table on the porch of the country house.
Work on the craft of plastic bottles is simple. It will take only 30-40 minutes to make this original candy box.

For crafts prepare:
- two plastic bottles
- scissors.
In this case, the bottles should be of different colors, but the same volume. The shape of the neck does not interest us, but the diameter of the circumference of the base (bottom) must match.

First, we cut off the upper part from the brown plastic bottle approximately along the line where the bottle begins to narrow towards the neck.

Cut the resulting tall glass into centimeter strips.

In the middle of the white bottle, we outline four points, the distance between which is 1 cm. We cut out three rings.

Now we place the first ring inside the glass and through one we push the brown stripes under the ring. Thus, we get a result in which some of the bands remain on the outside of the ring, and part inside it. We will also weave other rings. However, in the second row, inside the ring will enter those stripes that remained outside during the first weaving. The third row is done similarly to the first circle.

You can braid the first and subsequent rows in an alternative way, collecting strips in a bundle and putting a ring on them. It is quite possible the second option will seem easier to someone.

We got a wicker basket in which white transparent rings on the outside of the product formed square pockets.

We use the through pockets for their intended purpose, we put the ends of the brown stripes into them.

The work is almost coming to an end. If you leave two strips on opposite sides of the basket and connect them together with glue, you get a mushroom basket.

Finally, the wicker candy box is ready.

It remains to pour sweets into it: chocolate bars and caramels.

Such wickerwork made by hand from plastic bottles can be safely used as flowerpots for artificial bouquets, coasters for flower pots, feeders and for other purposes.
