Hello everybody!

Take a look at the 5 ideas on how to make a mini flower pots out of plastic bottles, cartons of milk and some other materials. Flower pots - this is good, especially if they are made with their own hands.

I used for the manufacture of pots:

· Plastic bottles, cartons of milk;

· Bandage plaster (sold in the pharmacy);

· Construction gypsum based plaster (finishing);

· PVA glue joiner;

· Marker, knife, emery paper;

· Rubber roller, normal roller;

· Floral grid (for the decoration of bouquets);

· Putty knife;

· Comb massazhka;

· Acrylic paints;

· Colera different colors;

· Acrylate lacquer on a water basis;

· Universal spray lacquer;

These are excellent ideas in your own hands, you can repeat yourself.

A first embodiment of the plastic bottles.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Remove the size of the cut-off portion and transferred to a plaster bandage. Bint cut into strips.

Step 3.

do it yourself.

Step 8.

In a cup, pour a bit of acrylic paint and add the brown color and a touch of black. It turns dark brown. Paint both the pot and leave to dry for a couple of hours.

Step 9.

On cardboard poured some white acrylic paint and added Colera different colors (brown, coffee, and orange). Method of "dry brush" caused the colors to the pot. At the end of a little black walked.

What is a "method of dry brush"? This is when the object is not completely painted in the chosen color, but only slightly. Brush wetted in the ink, then the excess paint wiped off by tissue paper or almost dry and applied paint brush on bulges on the surface. Brush is better to use rigid.

That's done. It turned out great pots under the tree bark.

Now the rest of the options boxes of milk.
