Plastic figurines are an excellent entertainment for children and adults!

More and more popular figures are made of plastic, made by own hands. They are made in two ways. One of them is the use of used plastic containers: glasses, bottles, plates, from which then various crafts are created by both children and adults. The second method is to use a special plastic, which in its properties is very similar to a combination of plasticine (the same soft during operation) and clay (also hardens after a while). Its advantage over plasticine and clay is that its colors are more saturated, bright. As in the first case, and in the second, excellent figures of plastic are obtained. And there is no supercomplex task in their manufacture, and a newcomer in this field can cope with it.

With the use of waste

Every day more and more waste accumulates. Recently, they found an unconventional application - they make various crafts. So two problems are solved simultaneously. Firstly, the amount of garbage is reduced, and secondly, handicrafts are being created, which become an ornament of household plots and children's yard areas. One of the simplest such figures is a snowman. It can be made both from cups, and from half-liter bottles.

Making a Snowman

The algorithm for creating it is as follows. Take six cups. Five of them are glued along the perimeter of the first so that the ball gradually forms. A second is glued over the first row of cups. The angle of rotation for them should be greater than that of the first. So step by step, row by row, the first ball is obtained. Further, similarly, 4 more spheres of different size are made. Two of them are very small and they will be hands. One of the remaining balls should be slightly less than the first, and the third slightly less than the second. At the final stage, the middle sphere is fixed on the large sphere, and the smaller one is placed on it. On the sides of the middle ball are attached the smallest elements - hands. Next, a snowman is made up (eyes, nose, mouth are glued, a hat or cap is put on). You can limit to two balls, and then you get a snowman in a simpler version (such as in the photo). Similarly, figures are made of plastic, from bottles with a capacity of 0.5 liters. In winter, there is not always snow on the New Year. The solution in this situation is such plastic figures, without which the holiday loses a lot.

New solution

Relatively recently, a special material called "plastic" appeared on the shelves of stores. It is very similar in properties to plasticine and clay at the same time. The material is very expensive, so it makes the figs much smaller than in the first case. Water is added to the source material, and everything that is desired is laid down. You can easily make any craft, including a snowman, but only a small one. The algorithm for creating a figurine is known to any child, and exactly repeats the actions performed during the modeling of plasticine. In addition to the snowman, you can dazzle any cartoon character, flower or decorative elements for new beads. At the end of the work, you need to give time to solidify the material, and here are figurines made of plastic, made by your own hands, can decorate your possessions.

Summary

Now you have learned something new about what you can do if you want to. This article presents an algorithm for how to create the simplest products from plastic containers and figurines from plastic. The master class is given on the example of creating statuettes of snowmen from cups and store raw materials. Each of the methods perfectly fits the strictly defined material. You can make a lot of beautiful and exclusive things, so include imagination - and go!
