Furniture from plastic bottles with their own hands: step by step description and photo
If there is a creative vein in a person, for him there is no such thing as "garbage".For him, any production is non-waste. From small pieces of cloth we sew a doll or a blanket in the style of "patchwork".We will make snowflakes, flowers, garlands from paper. Ribbons and lace, glass and plastic - everything can be used. Even furniture can create craftsmen. And not only from wood, but also from such material, seemingly not at all suitable for this purpose, like a plastic bottle.
Therefore, start collecting bottles. You can not even imagine what kind of fantasy flight you can afford when creating plastic products. This article will be devoted exclusively to furniture. Prepare yourself, the master class awaits you. Furniture from plastic bottles with your own hands.
We will provide you with some interesting ideas. Clearly see how to make furniture from plastic bottles, you can in the photo that will accompany our story.
The first of ideas is a chair.
On the example of this chair we will show the basic principle of fastening bottles. Carefully study it, it will be needed for us when creating other things.
It's clear that to create furniture, it will take a lot of bottles. However, this depends on the size of the furniture. The photo shows the assembly diagram. It is universal. To be clearer, we will describe the entire process, which is drawn.
Take the bottle and cut it in half. Turn the top part and insert it into the bottom. Then insert the whole bottle there and cover only the bottom part from the other one. It turns out something like a "log".It is strong enough. When the "log" is collected enough, they can not only turn out an armchair, but a whole sofa. But more on that later.
Our "logs"( it would be more correct to call them modules) is fastened in four pieces. For binding we simply wrap them with transparent tape. From four such parts we collect a larger module and also fasten it with adhesive tape.
The back and sides of the chair are made by building up to the desired length the same modules and fastening them with adhesive tape( see photo).
By the way, tape can be replaced with a special food film. It is not difficult to find it in any economic department. The film connects the parts more firmly than the adhesive tape.
That, strictly speaking, is all. The chair is ready. You just need to sew a cover from a suitable fabric for him. From the cover depends on the appearance of the chair, so choosing a fabric, consider this. For convenience, a soft material such as foam rubber or sintepon is laid under the seat.
Sofa
By the same principle as we did the chair, you can make a sofa. Of course, a lot more bottles are needed here than for a chair. But they will have to be collected according to the same scheme. Having combined "logs" - modules on four pieces, also precisely we wrap up their scotch tape. Scotch do not regret it, because we need a reliable and durable construction, capable of serving us for many years, so it is better not to save on it. Just like in the previous description, modules consisting of four bottles are assembled into larger modules.
Continue to build up modules to the dimensions that are necessary for the sofa. Preferably, the sofa is covered with foam rubber or sintepon, because it is soft furniture. And sew him a suitable cover of beautiful fabric.
This sofa is a vivid example of the fact that the furniture from plastic bottles can be not only beautiful, but also functional.

Table
The table is the simplest version of furniture from plastic bottles.
It consists of forty bottles with a capacity of two liters. Also we need a finished table top. You can buy it, or cut it yourself from plywood, then do not forget to cover it with varnish. You can also use the countertop from the old broken table.
On the underside of the countertop, screw the plugs from the bottles with bolts. Correctly calculate the distance between the plugs, it should be equal to the diameter of the bottle.
As you understand, each of the legs consists of two bottles, sealed with bottoms. They are fastened with the help of glue and after complete drying they are simply screwed into the covers, which are under the table top.
Because the table looks quite simple, besides there is no tailoring of the cover, it is more suitable for the garden.
Our article presents only a small part of those ideas that can be implemented with the help of unnecessary plastic bottles. Many other handmade items made of plastic bottles - furniture, toys, figurines of birds and animals and even decorations you can find in our other articles.
