We make original country roosters from plastic bottles and tires. Crafts from plastic bottles: Cockerel Rooster made from plastic plates and cups

For manufacturing we will need the following tools:

1) 5 liter canister (in this case, liquid soap)
2) 5 liter plastic bottle
3) metal-plastic tube for legs 30-35 centimeters high
4) corrugated tube for legs and paws
5) 1.5 and 1 liter bottles for wings
6) 2 liter bottles for the tail
7) super glue “Moment”
8) PVA glue
9) foam plastic
10) wire
11) awl
12) reinforcement mesh
13) acrylic paints different colors
14) cellophane package
15) self-tapping screws 1.5 1.6 centimeters for attaching the wings
16) self-tapping screws 5 and 6 centimeters for fastening large parts 15) scissors
17) stationery knife
18) screwdriver (to speed up the process)

Having prepared everything you need, we begin making the cockerel.

We take a 5 liter canister, make a 1-2 cm slit, insert metal-plastic tubes - these are our legs. We attach our legs to the canister with self-tapping screws. We got the body of a rooster with legs.

From the two upper parts of one and a half liter bottles, we cut out two hips and also connect them to the canister with self-tapping screws. We make feathers: take 1 and 1.5 liter ones, cut off the neck and bottom from the bottle, cut the bottles lengthwise into 5 parts, make a sharp corner on one side - these are our feathers.

Cutting five liter bottle, give it the shape of a neck and also fasten it to the canister with self-tapping screws. We begin to attach the feathers with self-tapping screws from the legs to the neck, i.e. from bottom to top.

Now that the body is ready, we will paint it. Using a sponge and acrylic paint, we applied 2 layers of paint. We painted the body Blue colour. The corrugated tube was cut, put on the legs and painted yellow.

While our rooster is drying, we begin to prepare the feathers for the wings and tail. We cut out long feathers from 2-liter bottles, paint some of the feathers and leave them to dry.

Next we proceed to making the back and tail. We give the mesh the shape of wings. We use an awl to make punctures in the feathers and secure them to the mesh with wire.

Having finished securing all the feathers, we paint the rooster in different cheerful colors.

While the entire body and tail are drying, let's move on to the head. First, draw the head of a rooster on paper. Then we transfer the drawing onto foam plastic and carefully cut out the head using a stationery knife.

We treat the finished head with PVA glue, then apply paint. Glue on the eyes.
We connect all the parts using self-tapping screws, attach the wings and tail to the body. Using “Moment” glue we glue the head to the neck.

This is what we got Cockerel "Vasunya".

A small cockerel made from one plastic bottle

To make such a cheerful rooster you will need one large bottle and very few bottles of different colors. Or you can take the same ones and paint them with acrylic paints.

Take a 2-2.5 liter bottle and wash it thoroughly so that there are no traces of the label or any dirt left. Place the bottle on a stick to make it easier for you to work with. Use a marker to mark the holes for the wings, beak and comb on the bottle. The material for the beak will be a shampoo bottle, cut it out and attach it to the base. Paint eyes on the lids, glue them to the base or attach fittings. From the remaining bottles we cut out feathers for the tail, wings and comb. Attach all the parts with glue; the tail can be secured with a stapler or self-tapping screw. As a decoration, you can make fringe on the wings and feathers in the tail. And to prevent it from deteriorating from precipitation and dirt, you can coat it with yacht varnish. It will become much stronger and more interesting.

And now you can make the option a little more complicated.

Rooster made from plastic bottles

To make such a cockerel you will need more old bottles. Its design is attached to self-tapping screws, so you will need a strong base in the form of a plastic canister. A five-liter canister will be the body, holes for the legs will be cut in it. Make a slot on the side opposite the holes. Bend a metal-plastic tube and insert it into the holes for the legs, securing it with self-tapping screws for stability. From a couple of plastic bottles, cut out pointed toes, three for each. Put the corrugation on your legs and secure the paws.

Another couple of one and a half liter bottles serve as material for the rooster's thighs; you need to cut off the necks and thread the corrugations into them.

The head is cut out of foam plastic, rubbed with sandpaper and coated with acrylic primer. Then it is sanded again and painted with paints. A six-liter bottle will be useful for the neck. We cut off a rectangle and wrap it with a collar, which will be connected to the body with the help of self-tapping screws.

Feathers also need to be made from bottles; you will need a lot of them. For tail feathers you will need the largest bottles, at least 2.5 liters. In such work, the main thing is that the scissors are not dull, otherwise you will have to cut the plastic for a long time and painfully. There are more easy way plumage cutting. For it you only need to make longitudinal cuts, remove the bottom and neck first. Cut out semicircular or triangular shapes from below to create a finished row of feathers. You will need to attach the feathers both with glue and with self-tapping screws; we will go from the bottom so that the joints of the fasteners are not visible. Cover the entire cockerel with feathers, except the tail, to prevent it from freezing in winter. All that remains is to cut out the wings and attach the feathers to them and our craft is ready!

And for dessert, we have prepared a very interesting way for you to make an original craft from bottle caps. To.

Rooster made from plastic bottle caps

The most difficult thing in this craft is to collect all the material for it; you will need a lot of bottle caps and preferably multi-colored ones. But the result will be very colorful!

So, according to the pre-prepared diagram, glue the lids in place. The drawing is needed so as not to get confused, because redoing it is even worse, try not to confuse anything. It’s easier to glue them on the back side to hold them tighter; the cockerel will turn out very colorful even from a distance. If you have accumulated a lot of caps, you can use the leftovers to make a beautiful background in the form of floral motifs.

This is how you make a rooster with your own hands from plastic bottles. As you can see, it’s not complicated, any child can handle such crafts!

And now I want to introduce you to my new creation - “Rooster from plastic bottles”.
Not a single yard in a village or village can do without this magnificent bird. So I made myself a friend, a bright and majestic owner of the yard!

"Garden figures made from plastic bottles"

To make the mold we need:
1) 5 l. canister (I use liquid soap),
2)5 l plastic bottle,
3) metal plastic pipe (leg height approximately 30-35 cm),
4) two 1.5 l. plastic bottles for thighs,
5) screws, scissors, stationery knife, screwdriver.

For fastenings, I use these self-tapping screws (I buy them by weight at hardware stores).
Small (about 1.5-1.6 cm) - for attaching feathers and component parts to each other.
Large ones (about 5-6 cm) - for attaching the head to the neck.

1) Move the top of the canister about 3 cm.
2) We bend the metal plastic pipe (shape the legs), in my case, the rooster is walking (the right leg is pushed forward), and attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
3) For the neck, from 5 l. bottles, fold the envelope, attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
4) From 1.5 liter bottles we cut out two “thighs”, which we attach to the canister with self-tapping screws.

For the feathers, I used bottles of this shape. We cut off the long neck, cut the bottle into 5 feathers (we are guided by the protrusions on the bottom of the bottle), and use the upper part of the feathers.

We begin to cover the body from the “thighs”. Disconnect them from the canister for convenience.
1) attach the corrugated tube to the neck of the bottle,
2) attach the feathers using wire.

We attach the finished legs back to the canister.

Starting from the back, we cover the entire body, except the back, with feathers (we attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws). We leave the back of the neck open because there will be other feathers there.

The next step is to start making the paws. From 2.5mm copper wire (or any other wire, preferably rigid, but not steel, which bends), we bend the shape of the legs (you can see in more detail). We create the effect of paws from a corrugated tube. We insert the remaining tail between the metal plastic pipe and corrugated tube. You can also fill the bottom with glue for strength.

We cut out claws from the bottom of the bottle (photo). They should be narrow and long. We fasten them with glue (I use “Moment of installation - liquid nails”).

We paint the body and legs using spray paint (I use universal enamel from KUDO).

We cut out the head from construction foam using a stationery knife, it is very sharp and the cuts are smooth and not torn. If the cutting process seems complicated to you, cut out all the parts separately! Then they can be glued together with glue.

Using sandpaper (medium), we bring it to the shape we need.

We treat the surface with acrylic putty, wait for it to dry completely and sand it again until smooth. After that, we treat it with ordinary PVA glue, so the paint adheres very well.

We begin to paint the head (you can use acrylic paints, it’s more convenient). Glue on the eyes (I bought them at a fabric store).

After fitting the head to the body, the husband said that the comb turned out not like a rooster’s, but more suitable for a chicken. I decided to redo it. I made a pattern out of paper (I tried it on for a long time to make it larger). I transferred it to foam plastic, cut it out and glued it in place of the previous one.

Using wire, we begin to attach the long wing feathers. The back remains open.

I cover the top of the wings with these feathers from 1.5 liter corrugated feathers. bottles The last row goes to the bend, into the inside of the wing.

We paint it with paint, let it dry well and attach it to the body using perforated tape (sold at any hardware store) and self-tapping screws. We bend the mesh for attaching the tail (you can increase its length and the tail will turn out richer).

Let's start making the tail.
We cut feathers from 2l or 2.5l. bottles into 5 parts. We paint separately on both sides (first we applied black, after drying a little blue)

We attach it to the mesh using wire. After coloring, I cut the feathers in half again, so the tail turned out to be more magnificent.

For the feathers on the back, I cut feathers of different lengths, from transparent bottles (this makes it easier to paint yellow), about 2-2.5 cm wide. I attached them to the back using self-tapping screws, 3-4 pieces at a time.

When attaching the feathers to the neck, cut off the remaining upper part so that there is no strong thickening at the point where the head is attached. We glue the last row of feathers to cover the visible screw heads. We secure the head with long self-tapping screws. Glue smaller feathers along the back of the head and on the sides of the head crest.

Using bags and construction tape, I covered all the parts that were already painted. Applied first yellow paint and let it dry completely.

Of course, don't forget to make spurs! I cut out two strips, made a cut with a utility knife and carefully inserted them between the corrugated and metal-plastic pipe.

So my rooster is ready from a plastic bottle "Petrunya". I’ll cover it with glossy yacht varnish (sold in hardware stores, where paint is also available) and it will show off for me, bringing a sunny and joyful mood to my home and my loved ones!

Making a cockerel from plastic bottles

Plastic bottles and caps are practically the most affordable and cheap material for making crafts. In addition, its flexibility is a big plus - plastic is easy to cut with a regular knife or scissors, and if you need to round the edges or smooth the surface, this can be done using a regular iron.

The bottles themselves come in different colors, but wider color scheme very easy to obtain using cans of different paints to suit your taste.

You can start by making simple shapes.

Take a large bottle (usually five liters) as a basis. You can paint it either with paints or with TEX enamel. Cut off the bottom and bend the edges inward.
The head can be made from papier-mâché or you can also use a bottle (you will need its lower part). In the second option, you will also need to make a beak for the rooster - this could be a bottle cap on which you attach the blank.
The legs are made either from a corrugated hose, or from old tubes, or from wire wound onto transparent tubes.
For the feathers and tail, you need to cut a lot of strips (you can cut each part into zigzag strips or separately). It is recommended to fasten it with glue and tape, self-tapping screws (there should be a lining made of foam plastic or wood inside the figure).
Cut a comb from the bottom of the bottle and attach it to the head of the cockerel. Wings can be made from halves of two bottles.
Color the item using different colors and shades to make the bird colorful and bright. You can use quick-drying bronze varnish and colors to make it even more impressive.
Cut out the eyes from the same plastic and color or draw them. You can decorate them with eyelashes.

Such a rooster made from plastic bottles will look great on a fence, pole or fence of your dacha and even serve as an original weather vane.

You can simply build a frame for the future bird from bottles and cardboard, and then model a papier-mâché rooster figurine on it. Do not forget to dry each layer thoroughly, and then paint the product and cover it with yacht varnish.

Here is a more complex master class for making a cockerel, but as a result of all your efforts you will get a real sculptural masterpiece.

First you need to prepare a form - the basis for the future figure. The master proposes to build it from five-liter plastic canisters and bottles. This will be the neck and torso. For the bird’s legs you need to take metal-plastic pipes, about thirty centimeters high, plus two one and a half liter bottles for the thighs.
To attach the parts to each other, you will need large and small self-tapping screws.
Connect the base elements together: give metal-plastic pipes shape and position of the legs, move the top of the canister a few centimeters and roll an envelope from the bottle to form a neck. Also cut out the thighs and attach them to the canister.
From one big bottle you can cut out five feathers. Just first you need to cut off its long neck. You will need top part feathers
Cover the figure with feathers starting from the cockerel's thighs (you can detach them to make it more convenient. And when you're done, attach the legs back). Then work from the back and attach the feathers with self-tapping screws everywhere except the back and back of the neck (you'll need different feathers there).
Weave the legs from rigid copper wire and supplement them with corrugated tubes (there should be a hole in the middle through which you need to insert a piece of wire to attach to the legs).
Cut the claws from the bottom of the bottle and attach them with glue or liquid nails.
Paint the finished part of the bird (KUDO paint or enamel).
Now it's time to work on the cockerel's head. To make it, it is recommended to use construction foam (the parts can be cut out separately and then glued together. Use a stationery knife for cutting). To give your head the desired shape, you will need a medium sandpaper. Then the part will need to be treated with acrylic putty, and when it dries, sand it thoroughly. When you achieve the required smoothness, go over it with glue (ordinary PVA will do). Only after complete drying can you begin painting.
You can also paint your head with acrylic - it’s much easier and more convenient. Pick up cockerel eyes at a fabric store and glue them into the holes.
The shape for the wings is cut from the mesh using side cutters. Attach long feathers to it, leaving the back open. On top you can also add plumage cut from corrugated bottles. Paint the new elements and let them dry. Then attach it to the body using self-tapping screws and perforated tape.
For the tail you will need to cut a lot of feathers and paint them. Attach it to the protruding part of the mesh from the wings (if you bend it, the tail will be more magnificent and luxurious).
Now close the backrest. To do this, cut out many feathers of different lengths and attach them several in rows. It is better to attach the last row with glue so that the heads of the screws are not visible. For the back of the head and sides of the head, use finer feathers.
Paint the new plumage after closing construction tape and bags those parts of the cockerel that were already painted earlier.
Insert spurs into the bird's legs and cover it with glossy varnish.
