How to make a bee from a plastic bottle: tips and tricks

First, determine the place where it will "sit." If you plan to decorate it with a small flower bed, then, therefore, it is not necessary to choose a large bottle. The optimum option in this case is a bottle of mustard, since it does not even have to be painted. If your plans are to decorate a large tree in the country, then we advise you to take an ordinary bottle, which can be turned into a cute creation with the help of paint and other small details.

Before we make a bee from a plastic bottle, we collect all the necessary materials. We will need:

• A few bottles of mustard (for small bees) or large (for bees more);
• Black electrical tape;
• Black paint;
• Small buttons;
• Aluminum thin wire.

It is preferable to use buttons, as gouache can flow on rainy days. The wire should be taken in a more authentic way, enough to cover the whole decor. If there is an extra part left, cut it off with scissors or pliers.

So, now we tell how to make a bee from a plastic bottle, thus making your child happy. If you chose large plastic containers, then we start with the process of painting them with yellow paint. After it completely dries, we glue the strips of electrical tape. If you have a clear varnish, we recommend covering it with a bee, again, because rain can ruin your work of art.

Wings can be cut from a transparent plastic bottle and glued to the back of the insect. Also they can be inserted into specially made slits. In addition, you can first draw a sketch of the wings on the bottle from which you intend to make the trunk, and then cut them with an acute knife (this should be done before the beginning of staining and pasting with adhesive tape, so that the wings remain transparent).

Using the glue "Moment" fix the eyes of the bee. It is best to use it, because it fixes all the details reliably and permanently, therefore, you do not have to rework the bee after a week.

After the glue dries, we make from the wire a small mustache to our bee. In addition, from above you need to make a mount so that you can hang our creation on a tree.

Since making a bee from a plastic bottle is easy enough, you can create a whole swarm. We hang up the handicraft (crafts) on a tree and enjoy the result.
