By using useless plastic bottles as consumables for crafts, we contribute to preserving the environment. And since the penguin is made from plastic bottles with his own hands. To prove this, we would like to present ideas for making with our own hands a craft that is relevant for the winter season, suitable for decorating a home and garden, which will organically fit into any design - a charming penguin. Two different embodiments of the idea are described below. You can choose the type of penguin made from a plastic bottle that you like, or try both options. Your children can be involved in the manufacturing process, which will bring tremendous positive emotions to both parties. Don't worry, the work is very easy, there is no need for special skills or abilities. Interested? Then welcome to the photo master class on how to make penguin crafts from plastic bottles with your own hands! Also, if you like this article, we have more on the topic for your garden.

You will need the following materials for the penguin:

• two 2 liter plastic bottles
• paints black, yellow, white
• paint brush
• braid
• pompon
• thermal hot glue gun

Step-by-step instructions with attached photos

• Gently rinse bottles, removing labels
• Cut the bottles in the middle, use the bottoms

• To create the base - the body of the future penguin from a plastic bottle, combine two cut parts of the bottles into one, see photo. The bottom of the bottle on both sides acts as the head and legs of our penguin. You can optionally fix the bottles with glue, but you can do without it, since the bottles fit quite tightly to each other.

• Paint the penguin's future body with basic white paint. In our case, aerosol paint was used. Once the paint has dried, use black paint to paint the penguin's toe, which will give the piece a more defined outline. Keep in mind that the so-called widow's toe should be parallel to the penguin's lower legs. Draw the penguin's hat in the desired color, in our case we chose blue.

• Draw eyes and a beak for a penguin made from a plastic bottle, which will give our craft made from plastic bottles a finished look. The paint must dry.

• Tie a ribbon on the penguin's belt, which will act as a scarf and will also disguise the junction of the plastic bottles. Glue the pompom to the top of the hat using a hot glue gun. A charming penguin made from plastic bottles with your own hands is ready!

Garden crafts in the form of penguins made from plastic bottles are probably the simplest shapes, (as) most plastic bottles have a “penguin” shape.

All you have to do is a little varnishing and touching up the crafts to get wonderful penguins that will perfectly decorate your area. Once made, penguins can be placed in a corner to make them feel more comfortable, and again on a stone or alpine hill, very small penguins will perfectly decorate the interior of any room.

More spectacular penguins will be obtained if you use larger plastic containers. It is best to use containers with a volume of 10, 12 or at least 15 liters for making penguins. If you don’t have bottles of this size, then you shouldn’t give up on the idea of ​​making this craft, because at least you can make little penguins that can be successfully placed on stands made of stones. The result is a penguin system. If you have one large bottle and several small ones, then you can kill one adult penguin and a bunch of his kids.

Materials and tools

For work we will need:

• plastic bottles, even Coca-Cola bottles;
• glue gun;
• acrylic paints white, black and red;
• lapel, also acrylic;
• primer;
• black marker;
• strips of fabric.

How to make a penguin from a plastic bottle?

It is necessary to cut off the neck of the plastic bottle so that the narrowing residue remains intact. Now the penguin's body is almost ready.

To make a penguin head, you need to take a bottle of the same size. A bottle of 1, 1.5 al2 liters is suitable for this. You need to cut it into two parts so that the upper part has a small margin, for a tighter connection of the parts.

Penguins will not have any problems with their paws, since all plastic bottles have a wavy bottom.

Sometimes all the parts for the craft will be ready, all that remains is to fasten them together. A glue gun is ideal for these purposes, but we need to do this very carefully so as not to melt the plastic blanks. If you don’t have such glue at hand, you can connect them as follows: you need to make holes with a hot nail in the places where you need it, and stretch the wire through them. Unfortunately, this option will be illiterate and very beautiful.

We give the penguin a natural look, for which we need to paint it. Whoever needs this will need paint in three colors - red (for the paws and beak), white and black. For painting a penguin, acrylic paint is best, as it will hold up well on the penguin both under the scorching sun and in the pouring rain. In order for the paint to apply well and evenly, the surface must be primed.

To beautifully draw a penguin breast, we will make a blank from paper, which we attach to the blank and outline with a marker.

We paint over the scotoma that we drew with a marker with white paint.

The body and legs need to be painted black.

You and I will paint the hat red. Although here you can use any other, for example egg, blue, green, etc.

You can decorate the hat in any way, for example, simply by placing dots in a different color.

To please someone's beak, you need to pick up something sharp. One of the simplest options is a fully sharpened wooden peg. Or you can just paint it with paint. We also draw eyes.

(as soon as the paint dries, the craft needs to be opened with several layers of varnish.

But that’s not all. For a hat, it’s tedious to make a pom-pom. You will need an exceptionally thick knitting thread. See the photo for how to do this.

And the swan song of the decorative element is the scarf. We take any strip of fabric and wrap it wherever the penguin’s eyes look.

To give the scarf more naturalness, we make serifs at the end.

Let's say how penguins from plastic bottles turn out to be very light; they need to be somehow fixed in place. They can be nailed or tied, or they can be simply weighted. To do this, you can pour sand or small pebbles inside the bottle.

We continue to contribute to preserving the environment by using discarded plastic bottles as materials for crafts. This time we offer you the idea of ​​​​making a charming penguin with your own hands to create a beautiful winter decoration at home, in the garden or in the country.

Below are two options for implementing the idea for your consideration. You can choose either of them or both at once, depending on your desire. If you have children, they will become excellent helpers in the process of making products from plastic bottles, since this is a very simple job that does not require special skills (especially option 2).

You are ready? – Then go ahead to the photo master class!

How to make a penguin from plastic bottles - option 1

Necessary materials:

• 2 empty 2 liter water or beverage bottles;

Instructions with photos:

1. Wash the bottles thoroughly and remove all labels.
2. Cut both bottles in half and leave the bottom parts.

3. To make the body, connect the lower parts of the bottles by inserting one inside the other, as shown in the photo. The bases of the bottles (one at the top, the other at the bottom) will act as the head and legs of the future penguin.
4. At this stage, you can add glue for fixation, but our bottles fit together quite tightly and we decided to do without it.

5. Apply a base coat to the penguin's body (we used white spray paint as a base coat on the entire body). After the base coat has dried, paint the body black, drawing a widow's toe on the penguin's forehead.

Make sure that the lines of the widow's toe are parallel to the two lower edges of the base of the bottle, which will be used as legs. Choose a color for the penguin's hat and paint the top base of the bottle as shown in the photo. Add facial features - eyes and beak.

6. Leave the penguin to dry completely.

7. Tie a piece of ribbon around the penguin's body like a scarf and glue a pom pom to the top of the hat using a hot glue gun. The baby is ready!

For we need manufacturing: two plastic bottles, tape, glue, gouache (black and white), brushes, a stationery knife and of course desire and imagination.

There are many examples on the Internet making such a penguin, but for us he will be a “girl” in a beautiful skirt, for which you will need a satin ribbon, thread and a needle.

First we need to cut off the lower parts from plastic bottles, one smaller and the other larger.

These parts can be connected to each other using glue or tape.

Then paint with white gouache, you can use white acrylic paint.

Using a black marker, draw a “tummy” penguin.

It will remain white, and paint everything else black.

Now our imagination has turned on) Manufacturing satin ribbon skirts. It can be easily put on like an apron and tied at the back penguin. Since this is a girl, let's attach a bow to her. We came up with the idea of ​​making the eyes from foamiran on an adhesive base; you could draw them or use ready-made eyes, which can be bought in “Everything for Creativity” stores.

After manufacturing, the thought had already occurred to me that I could make a rope and hang this wonderful penguin on the Christmas tree.

And from the upper parts bottles turned out to be a crocodile. Green, kind - crocodile.

It turned out to be blowing penguin and crocodile. So different and so cute.

We will create bright and original penguins from plastic bottles of any size. These wonderful penguins will be both a wonderful addition to the New Year holidays and simply a wonderful toy made with your own hands and the hands of your children.

Step 1. First we need a bottle. It is better to use bottles whose bottoms expand (for example, those for Coca-Cola). A penguin toy from such a plastic bottle will turn out large and beautiful. The color of the bottle is not at all important, since it will be completely covered with opaque paint.

Step 2. Cut the bottles in half and leave the bases. From two bottle halves you will get one cute penguin.

Step 3. Now glue the two halves together. We use universal glue “moment”.

Step 4. Now we need to cover the resulting workpiece with white paint. It is most convenient to spray paint from a can, but you can also use regular acrylic paints and a good old brush. After this, let our workpiece dry.

Step 5. We begin to paint the toy: first we draw the border of the “tailcoat”, then we outline the eyes and beak. We draw bright clothes.

Step 6. Now you need to prepare a pompom for the hat. To do this, take two cardboard rings, put them together and wrap them with thread.

Then we cut the threads along the outer circumference. We insert one part of the scissors into the gap formed by two cardboard circles and cut the threads in a circle without touching the layer of threads along the inner circumference. We don't remove cardboard!

Now take a thread, insert it between two pieces of cardboard and tighten it. Uncut threads along the inner circumference are intercepted and collected into one “sheaf”.

After this, remove the cardboard and straighten the threads. It turns out this funny pom-pom:

Step 7. Glue the pompom to the drawn hat, and the pinvin bottle craft is ready! You can also decorate penguins to your taste using: rhinestones, scarves, sparkles, etc.
