Plastic bottles - this is a junk material, crafts from which no one is surprised. But, whether it's a lid from these bottles! Usually we, without hesitation, send them to the dump, but in vain! Original handmade items made from plastic bottle caps are easy to make and interesting. And most importantly - no cost. Well, except that glue or screws.
At first glance it may seem that no large-scale products made of plastic corks can be made, since there is nowhere to take them. But the opinion is wrong! If you are asked to collect a lot of lids, connect friends and acquaintances, then in a month you can fill them with a bag.
What can be done with plastic plugs? Anything, from unpretentious magnets to the refrigerator, ending with large drawings, rugs and wall panels.
Simple and creative!
Do you want to decorate your refrigerator with an unusual magnet?
We will need:
- lids;
- small magnets;
- glue;
- markers.
Degrease the plastic cover, glue the magnet inside, and on the front side of it we draw a funny face. You can make your eyes more "alive" by gluing special decor elements with a moving bead in a plastic shell. That's all!

It's also easy to make a stand for a nameplate with a guest name. To do this, attach five small ones to a single large lid, and place it on the stand with a wire twisted in a spiral and fixed to the "core" of the flower.
Plastic fantasies
More skill requires drawings or a mosaic of plugs of plastic bottles, which can be both an independent craft and an element of decor. Thanks to the strength of this material, you can decorate the yard without fear, because the plastics are not afraid of rain, frost, snow. The technology remains the same: the lids are fastened together with glue (BF-2, BF-4).

Unusual pictures of the cork of plastic bottles can be done and turned them by rim on the front side. In this case, fasten them better with small screws, screwing the center plug to the surface.

For more complex drawings, it is necessary to make a markup on the primed sheet of plywood in advance, and then to draw the desired figure with acrylic paints. After the paint has dried, proceed to pasting the plugs with an adhesive gun.
