The possibilities of a throw-out material, with the excess available to each hostess, are not limited if it concerns the implementation of fantasies in the manufacture of hand-made articles. The most important thing is that there are no material costs, and the necessary materials are at hand at any time. Containers and packages for storing eggs , shells , strong packages from juices and dairy products and, of course, a variety of plastic bottles of different sizes, shapes and colors. It is about this unique cast-off material for crafts and will be discussed. We offer you in a short time to make from a boring plastic bottle a funny cute hedgehog, who can decorate your apartment and dacha and lawn. Such hedgehogs from plastic bottles are not afraid of any weather.

We will need:

  1. The process of creating an artifact of a hedgehog from plastic bottles begins with the degreasing of the bottle. You can use a water-soap solution for this. After cleaning, wipe or dry the bottle thoroughly.
  2. On the prepared bottle, using pine foam or "Moment" glue, glue pine cones. To begin better with the central part, that is from the back of the future hedgehog from a plastic bottle. Each bump is glued separately, and before gluing the next, make sure that the previous one is already firmly held. If it suddenly peels off when the neighbors are already in place, then it will be very difficult to "seat" it back.
  3. Now, when the little body of our beloved hedgehog from plastic bottles is covered with pine needles, it is possible to start making its spout. As the last we will use the bottle cap. To make the nose more realistic, it is necessary to carefully glue it with black plasticine. To our baby zaimel eyes, let's take two white caps, in the center of which we paste circles from black plasticine (pupils). To the muzzle of the hedgehog we fix the eyes with the help of glue or foam.
  4. When the article is ready, we begin to decorate it. What kind of hedgehog without "strategic reserves" on the back in the form of berries, leaves, mushrooms? All these delicacies of little animals are molded from plasticine and neatly put the hedgehog on needles. Since plasticine is still at hand, you can dazzle a little ezhonka, which will make a fun company. Since the size of the baby does not allow experimenting with cones, ordinary seeds are suitable as needles. Our cuties are ready!
