Craft rooster from egg trays

This is what you can make a rooster from. This is completely waste material, but it makes wonderful crafts. To work you will need:

egg trays;
acrylic paints;
thin white paper;
cardboard;
newspapers;
scissors;
glue gun;
tassels;
pencil.

From the protruding parts of the tray, cut blanks that are similar in shape to elongated petals. When you make the rooster's head, they need to be glued together with thin white paper to create a semblance of a flower. Cut out the bird's beard from the side of the box. The rounded triangle will become its beak; this blank needs to be glued on the side. For the beak you will need 2 such parts.

Cut out bird wings from cardboard using a glue gun and cover them with leaf-like blanks from egg trays.

Most of your time will be spent waiting for the papier-mâché rooster's body to dry. Therefore, it is better to start working with its formation. Cut newspapers into strips, dilute glue with water in a 1:2 ratio in a container. Dip the paper here, stick it on the inflated balloon. It will take more than one hour for this part to dry. When this happens, poke the ball sharp object, remove it through the small hole left.

This rounded piece needs to be cut into two unequal parts, insert the smaller one into the larger one to increase the strength of the part. Glue these elements together using a glue gun.

While the papier-mâché was drying, you had enough time to form the head and neck of the rooster. To the part that looks like a flower with elongated petals, made using petals from an egg tray, glue two triangular beak blanks and a comb cut out of cardboard.

Insert a second one of the same type into this flower blank, then a third, fourth and fifth. The head and neck of the bird are ready. Glue this piece to the side of the papier-mâché ball half. To do this, use a glue gun to attach a strip of cardboard inside the neck so that it looks out from below. We glue this label to the papier-mâché half of the body.

To make the tail, draw semicircular lines on the egg lid and cut along them.

Glue the tail to the back of the body. That's it, you can paint the cockerel with acrylic paints, when it dries, hand the craft to the recipient or place it in the most prominent place in your home as a bright attribute of the holiday.

You can make a rooster with your own hands not only for the New Year, but also for Easter. Then you will put colored eggs in its semicircular body, thus decorating the festive table.

Symbol of 2017 made from plastic bottles

If you decide to celebrate the New Year at the dacha, then make a rooster - a symbol of 2017, which is not afraid of either snow or water. Plastic bottles are perfect for this.

To make a rooster with your own hands for the year of the Rooster, prepare everything necessary materials, in particular

five-liter canister;
5 liter plastic bottle;
metal-plastic tube;
2 plastic bottles with a volume of 1.5 liters;
corrugated pipe;
thick copper wire;
plastic bottles for feathers;
perforated tape;
acrylic putty;
fine mesh;
sandpaper;
awl;
construction foam;
stationery knife;
glue gun;
self-tapping screws;
scissors;
screwdriver

Right now you will learn how to make a rooster from bottles step-by-step instruction will help with this. Make a design like this using self-tapping screws and scissors.

Bend metal-plastic pipe to make two rooster legs out of it. Attach them to a five-liter canister using self-tapping screws. To make the animal’s neck, cut a large piece of cloth from a 5-liter bottle, fold it into an envelope, and secure it with self-tapping screws. From one and a half liter bottles, cut off their upper parts below the shoulders, diagonally. Place them on the top of the bird's legs, and also attach these parts with self-tapping screws or a glue gun.

To make bird feathers, cut off the neck of the bottle. Using scissors, cut out 5 longitudinal feathers.

Place corrugated tubes on the rooster’s legs and begin decorating the thicker parts with feathers. To secure them, use an awl to make two holes in each, insert a piece of wire here that needs to be tied to the base.

Cover the bird's body with feathers, starting from where the tail grows. We are not finishing the back yet.

Roll the wire so that you get two paws, each with three fingers, put pieces of corrugated pipes on these blanks.

Cut long and narrow claws from the bottom of the bottle. Attach them to a glue gun or "Moment Montage".

Cover the resulting workpiece with spray paint, using one color for the body and another color for the legs.

Cut out the cockerel's head from construction foam using a utility knife.

Take sandpaper, sand this part with it, then apply acrylic putty.

When this coating has dried, make the surface smooth again using sandpaper, then cover with PVA.

To ensure that the paint adheres well to the cockerel’s head, they use a trick by first covering it with PVA. In this case, the paint adheres well and its layer will be more durable.

From fine mesh cut out the part that will become the wings, back and tail of the rooster, glue long pieces of wood to it plastic bottle to decorate this part with feathers. The wings at the top are made from corrugated bottles.

Paint the wings, when the solution has dried, attach this body part using perforated tape and self-tapping screws. Cut elongated feathers from 2.5 and 2 liter bottles, cutting each container into 5 parts. Paint them on both sides, after drying, attach them to the metal mesh using wire.

To make it easier to color plastic bottles light color, take transparent ones, cut them into feathers for the back. Attach them with wire, 4 pieces at a time on self-tapping screws.

Attach the bird's head to its place using long self-tapping screws, cover the already painted parts with plastic, and paint the rest. Make spurs for the rooster from wire, after which you can place it in its designated place in the country house or at home.

It's even easier to make your next bird from plastic bottles.

For this you will need:

two plastic bottles with a volume of 2–2.5 liters with small necks, and one of the same volume, but with a large one;
disposable plastic cups in two colors;
disposable plates;
wrapping paper or trash bag;
plastic ball;
eyes for dolls;
scotch;
stationery knife;
glue;
scissors.

Cut the first plastic bottle with a short neck below the shoulders, and process the second and third ones in the same way. Attach the other two to the first one so that on one side you have a blank for the tail, and on the other for the body and throat, connect the parts with tape.

U plastic cups cut top part into strips 8–10 mm wide. In length they will take up a third of the height of the glass. Place these blanks on the high neck of the bottle, alternating in color. Cut off the bottom of the last glass. Chop this container not only on one side, but also on the other side into thin strips. The middle will remain intact.

Just below the rim of the plates, cut out semicircular feathers from plastic plates, cut them on one side with scissors to create thin feathers. In a bottle that is located with opposite side from the neck, make a cut, insert the tail feathers here, secure with tape.

Place the ball on the top cup and secure it with tape. Cover the cut area for the tail with wrapping paper or a piece cut in the shape of a fan from a colored garbage bag. Cut out wings from plastic plates and glue them to the sides of the bird with tape.

From plastic plates, cut out the comb, beard, and beak of the cockerel. Make three cuts in the foam ball, insert these blanks here, and glue them for a stronger connection. Take ready-made eyes for toys, or make them yourself from a white foam plate, cut out the pupils from a black garbage bag. Glue on the eyes.

If you want to learn how to make a rooster out of bottles even faster, then watch the third master class in this section.

Cut off the bottom of a large plastic bottle, put it on a fence peg or a stick specially dug into the ground for this occasion.
If the bird will be in the house, then tape it bottom part strips of colored paper, make the wings and scallop from cardboard in the appropriate shades. If the rooster will be outdoors, then these parts should be waterproof.
Create stripes from colorful garbage bags (by tying or gluing them), wings, nose, comb, beard from colored plastic.
Take two white bottle caps, paint the pupils here with black acrylic paint, and glue them to the head.
The tail is made from bottles different sizes and colors. Cut off their bottoms and use scissors to chop them almost to the shoulders into thin strips. Insert one bottle into another, secure them with wire, tape or glue.

Salt dough rooster

Looks great like this three-dimensional picture, but it is performed in an unusual way.

To make such a panel, take:

120 ml water;
180 g fine salt;
370 g flour;
1.5 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
acrylic paints;
rooster template.

You will make a cardboard image of this bird when you transfer the presented drawing onto paper.
Mix flour and salt, pour here vegetable oil and water. Knead the dough well, cover it with a cloth to rest for 20 minutes.
Now you can roll it out into a layer, put a template on top, and cut out a rooster from salt dough using it. Using the same knife, apply feather veins on the tail, wings, and neck to the workpiece.
If you want the bird to be voluminous, then separately sculpt the wings, buttons, and the upper part of the scallop.
Leave this creativity to dry. To do this, you need to place the product in a well-ventilated area to give the workpiece greater strength. Dry it for 24 hours using this method, then heat the oven to 50 degrees.
Using two spatulas, transfer it to a baking sheet lined with paper and sprinkled with flour. Turn the heat to low and dry at this temperature for 2 hours. Take the product out and cool it.
Now we need to paint our fiery rooster with acrylic different colors, and then with varnish.

If you have clear nail polish, it will work great for painting the salt dough rooster.

You can also sculpt a three-dimensional rooster from salt dough. Then the figure needs to dry well for two days.

A needlewoman who wants to make such a product must be excellent with scissors and other materials that will be used in the work. Of course it's difficult. But if you have patience and at least basic skills, then you can succeed. In this publication, we decided to tell you about what kind of cockerel crafts you can make for the New Year from plastic bottles.

What types of cockerels can be made from a plastic bottle?

The first option is a cockerel.

This cockerel is one of the most simple crafts. To make it, you should use several plastic bottles of various colors. If you have bottles at home that are all the same color, then you simply paint them with acrylic paints. Before painting the bottle, you need to wash it well and remove labels. In this case, the paint will be able to lie evenly on the product.

Turn the painted bottle upside down. Place the bottle neck on a stick or any rod. Using a marker, make markings that will indicate the location of the scallop and wings.

Now take an empty shampoo bottle. You should cut out the rooster's beak from it and glue it to the bottle.

From other plastic bottles, cut out: tail feathers, comb, wings.

Apply glue to the bottle itself and secure the individual parts of the cockerel to the bottle.

Attach the tail to the bottle with a stapler or self-tapping screws.

And for the craft to turn out beautiful, your tail must be bushy.

The second option is a cockerel.

Making a rooster from a plastic bottle with your own hands can be done in another way. This craft option is a little more difficult to make. And all because the wings and tail of this rooster will consist of a huge number of fringed feathers.

The third option for making a rooster.

The next rooster craft should also be made from plastic bottles. However, in this case you will need a lot plastic containers. And in this case you will have to work hard.

They begin to create this craft by making two holes in a large bottle that are needed for the legs. Then make a cut in the part opposite the side with the holes.

The tube should be bent, threaded and secured.

It’s worth making a cockerel’s toes from a couple of plastic bottles. For this purpose, it is necessary to cut off the expanding part from the bottle and cut out three fingers for the rooster from it. In this case, each finger must be made sharp.

Put corrugated tubes on your feet, and then you must secure the prepared paws.

In order to make the head you need to use a piece of foam plastic, which needs to be painted.

To feather a rooster, you need to use a lot of plastic bottles. Moreover, each bottle should be cut into separate feathers.

To create tail feathers, bottles that have a capacity of 2.5 liters are used. They are cut into 5-7 parts. The bottle should be cut from the neck to the end. While working, focus on the raised protrusions. It is important to say that you need to use very sharp scissors when working.

To simplify the work of making the plumage, you need to cut the bottle lengthwise. Remove the bottom and neck from the bottle. Then cut out triangles or semicircles on the lower half of the plastic rectangle. As a result, you will get a row of feathers, which can be very easily screwed to the body with self-tapping screws or plastic glue. The work is carried out from the bottom up. Cover the entire part of the rooster in this way.

For the wings, oval sheets are cut from a plastic bottle. Attach feathers to them.

Crafts made from plastic bottles can be very different. But the best option This craft is a rooster, which step-by-step instructions will help you make. You should study it carefully, prepare all the necessary materials and create an original product.

Interesting ideas for making cockerels from old plastic containers

Craft one - a cockerel made from several bottles

Before starting work, you need to prepare several bottles without relief and different colors. If the plastic is only one color, it doesn’t matter, use acrylic paints and give the craft required colors. Don’t forget to thoroughly rinse the container to remove glue and label residues before painting.

Wait until the paint is completely dry and only then proceed to the next stage. Place a painted bottle or bottle of the color you like on a stick, after cutting out the bottom. Using a marker, mark the expected location of the scallop, beak, eyes and wings.

From bottles of a different color you need to cut out all the details of the future plastic bird. The parts can be glued using a heat gun, or they can be secured with an office stapler. Then paint the joints with acrylic paint.

Making a fluffy tail from a bottle is so easy. Just take the top of the bottle and cut it into thin strips. Due to the nature of the plastic, they will curl and give the final craft an interesting look.

Also, the parts of the cockerel can be made from harder plastic, for example: from a shampoo bottle.

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!

Master class by Oksana Abramova

"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 color yellow), approximately 2-2.5 cm wide. Attached 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. I applied the yellow paint first 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!
