Print any outline picture. You can use coloring for this purpose.

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


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

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 trash cans. I've been doing it for a long time different types needlework and constantly face 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 easily made 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, material for containers can be found in every home, such containers for small items can also be used in the country house, in the garage, etc…
So, for starters, let's 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.


We cut the bottle into two parts with a knife. If the bottle has no edges, in order to avoid large errors when cutting, glue the adhesive tape at the desired height and cut the bottle exactly along the edge of the adhesive tape.

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

We heat up the 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 needle, sharp and dark marks of plastic often remain on the surface. ... They can be removed different ways, I use a regular grater for cleaning the feet (the emery is too sharp - it damages the surface of the plastic, it is not very convenient to use a knife)


Now we start tying the edge with a crochet with a single crochet.




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


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

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






We make a bow at the junction, you can stick a strass 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 (in the photo, the package in which we sell food products)




We apply hot glue to the bottom and quickly glue the container to the package (hold it for a while to grab it properly)






We stick double-sided tape on our box, any tape or make a winding with threads, decorate with little things and our first little box for little things is ready! I made this box for a dacha to store various little things that you are always looking for in different drawers: pencils, small tools, keys, etc.


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










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


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




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, having made holes with a hole punch or a hot knitting needle, sewed them together with the edge of the plastic box. Since I have a two-tiered plastic box in the photo, for convenience, I made a handle from the scraps of the folder, which I also glued with hot glue to the bottom of the second tier.






Finishing elements are glued with hot glue.




From large plastic bottles you can make excellent containers for storing small toys, parts from the designer, etc. for the children's room and kitchen. Decorating such containers can become a joint creativity for a parent and a child. The principle of creating such a large container is exactly the same as shown above.





From the remaining upper parts of plastic bottles, we can make a lot of exotic flowers and decorate our balcony or summer cottage with them. But that's a topic for another tutorial!

How to make a similar craft from bags with your own hands? Cut the wire into equal pieces. Each of them will be required for twisting into a ring with a leg. Each rosette will require 6 large and 5 small petals. Next, cut out 11 squares from the trash bag. These pieces need to wrap the rings, securing everything on the leg. At this stage, care will be required to avoid damage to the petal and to create structural strength.

We collect a rose from the prepared petals. First, we twist the small petals, and fasten the large ones on top. The main thing is that everything is firmly fixed and straightened.

The next steps in creating the craft depend on where exactly the craft will be located. As a wall decoration, roses are left in their original form.

If you want to put them in a vase, then you need to attach legs to them. To do this, we twist a dense flagellum from the wire and attach it to roses. For greater naturalness, the base can be wrapped with green threads and braid. From these roses you can create a whole beautiful bouquet. This process is very simple and exciting, so children can be involved in it.

How to make a toy out of a bag

First, we prepare the base of two cardboard discs of the same size. Their diameter will be equal to the diameter of the pompom. Cut a hole in the center of the circles.

Then garbage bag cut into long strips. We wind them on two disks of cardboard, which we first put together. The winding direction can be any, but be sure to avoid spaces, otherwise the pom-pom will turn out uneven.

If the strip ends, then we continue the work of the next one. The more garbage bags you can pull on the blank, the more magnificent the pompom will turn out.

The previous steps are quite simple and even a child can do it, but then the help of an adult is required.

Cut along the edge of the pom-pom with scissors. Then we fold the strip from the garbage bag several times and wrap it between circles of cardboard so that the pompom is fixed. We take out the cardboard and get a beautiful fluffy ball. Further, according to the same principle, we make another ball, but of a larger size. It will act as the body of the toy, and the small one will act as the head. You will also need 4 small balls to create the animal's paws.

To assemble a toy, you need to tie two large blanks, and attach small ones to the largest ball. With the help of glue and accessories, we decorate the toy and create eyes, a nose, etc. for it.
