Do not throw away empty plastic bottles. Many useful and beautiful things can be made from them. For a summer residence, a garden and a kitchen garden these bottles are just a find! For example, flower beds decorated with bottles look great. Design options are varied. To get started, to get your bearings, you can watch master classes - flowerbeds made of plastic bottles with your own hands.

The first thing to do with each bottle before work is to wash, dry and remove all labels. How to decorate a flowerbed with plastic bottles? You will learn about this very soon.

We make a fence

One of the main ways to use bottles on flowerbeds is fencing. In any order conceived, the bottles are aligned vertically around the flowerbed.

You can put bottles in the shape of an animal, for example, such a flowerbed a swan.

Use bottles of the same size. If they are of different colors, then it is necessary to alternate from systemic, otherwise the flowerbed will look messy.

You can make flowers of their plastic and decorate bottle fences with them. It will be very smart.

Beautiful flowerpot

You can arrange the bottles in the form of a flowerpot, as in the photo.

The bottle is not environmentally friendly material, it is poorly decomposed in the ground. But for the garden, this flaw turns into a virtue. The roots of weeds cannot climb through this barrier, the earth does not dry out so quickly, the fence is stable, lasts a long time, and if any of its elements fail, then it is not difficult to replace it.

Flowerbed from a bottle

You can make small flower beds from bottles. Their strength is mobility.

The flowerbed can be laid out from bottles, like a picture, and be a decoration of the garden in itself, even without flowers. Here is one of the options.

"Ladybug"

Now you can take a closer look at how to make such a flower bed. You will need transparent bottles that will need to be painted in red, black and white.

The size is not very large. 2 bottles should be painted white - these are eyes. Black bottles are needed for the head and spots, and red for the wings.

The flowerbed should have a stone border so that the soil does not wake up.   Pour it into the flowerbed, giving a semicircular shape to the body of a ladybug. Outline the circuit on the ground and screw the bottles according to it, cork down.

Here is an insect in the end should work.

Similarly, you can lay out any pictures. You can now consider one.

Artificial lake

Here are used, painted in blue, cyan and turquoise colors, the lower halves of the bottles.

The larger the lake you want to make, the more halves you will need.

Having decided to decorate the homestead territory, pay attention to the flower beds from plastic bottles at the neighbors' summer house. This is the cheapest option for landscape design.

If there are a large number of plastic bottles in the country, everyone begins to think about their disposal. Considering that the material from which they are made is not subject to decomposition, they cannot be thrown away just like that. In order not to litter the site and not harm the environment, you can build flower beds from plastic bottles in the country, thereby not only reducing the amount of accumulated containers, but also ennoble the territory adjacent to the house.

How to make a flowerbed from bottles?

Having decided to make a flowerbed on your own, it is worth taking care of the availability of a sufficient number of bottles. It does not matter what was in them before. The flower garden from bottles of sparkling water or beer and vegetable oil looks equally beautiful.

Container capacity also does not matter much. When creating a flower garden, you can use absolutely all bottles:

• small (up to 1.5 l) can be used for zoning the space and the manufacture of individual elements;
• large (5 - 6 l) can be used as a separate small flower bed in the form of some kind of animal.

You will also need a special tool. It is worth taking care of the availability of:

• Sharp scissors and knife. With their help, it will be possible to cut out the elements of the desired shape and size;
• Stapler for connecting various elements together;
• A quality cord, often used to connect bottles to each other;
• Awl;
• A sheet of paper;
• Pencil
• Erases;
• Rulers.

Before proceeding with the direct manufacture of a flower garden, you should first carefully study the sketch. If you can’t come up with something interesting, you should look at the photo of flower beds from plastic bottles. Perhaps something will appeal to and perform at.

Having decided what you will do, you need to take a sheet of paper and make the first sketch. We need to work on a scale. This will not only simplify the implementation of what was conceived into reality in the future, but also make it possible to calculate whether there is enough material available. You may still have to wait or send to the store for shopping.

Ideas for later implementation

Most often, a flower bed made of plastic bottles, made by yourself, has the shape of a circle, square or rectangle. But if you wish, you can take a creative approach by laying out a flower bed in the shape of a butterfly or some funny animal with plastic bottles.

The sequence of work in this case is as follows:

• The site is being prepared;
• Outlines of a future flowerbed from bottles are outlined;
• On the line of marking, plastic bottles are dug into the optimum depth;
• Inside the flower bed, soil is poured to obtain the optimal height of the flower bed;
• Planting flowers.

Territory zoning

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe summer cottage does not allow you to place such a flower garden, you can go to the vertical plane. For this, mini flower beds made of plastic bottles are attached to the wall of the country house. Such a flower bed will not take up much space, but will require more attention, since watering will need to be done much more often due to the quick drying of the soil.

If this option seems quite simple and time-consuming, it is worth considering the possibility of making a flowerbed of a swan from plastic bottles. In this case, a five or six-liter container is used as the basis, which is coated with white paint from the inside. The neck of a swan can be made from a piece of thick wire, bending it into a characteristic shape, and pasting it on top with pieces of a plastic bottle, thereby simulating the plumage. Soil can be poured directly into the "body" of the swan, ie a five-liter bottle, or in special flowerpots, which can then be installed there as well.

For those who find the swan too complex, pigs may like it. To make them, one big bottle is enough. By cutting a hole for the soil, ears and a tail can be made from the samples. Inside, the bottle must be covered with pink paint. The cap of the bottle is the piglet's heel. You just need to paint on the characteristic lines and put two points. Also do not forget about the eyes. They can be painted in black. If desired, you can provide small legs from small bottles. Everything, the flowerbed is ready: you can plant flowers.

The advantages of flower beds from bottles

In addition to reducing the negative impact on the environment, one can also note:

• The long service life of such a flower garden due to the resistance of the material used in its manufacture. This is especially true when growing perennials. Fencing from plastic bottles will not allow the roots of plants to grow outside the flower bed;
• The ability to prevent excessive drying of the earth;
• The ability to replace individual elements of a flower bed in case of damage to one of them.

Well maintained and bright flower garden   - A great decoration for any home garden or flowerbed. During the arrangement of landscape design, it is necessary to use any easily accessible materials at hand. For example, to create beautiful flower beds from plastic bottles for ground flowers with your own hands. Using recyclables can be very simple decorate a nondescript fence   or the wall, make unusual in appearance a hanging planter, a flower garden fence and even a full flowerpot. However, before starting work, you should first choose a model of the flowerbed, as well as familiarize yourself with the technology for its manufacture.

The use of plastic containers in arranging a flower garden has several advantages.

Perhaps the most indisputable plus is the easy availability of consumables. Absolutely every family in large or small quantities buys cooling drinks, drinking water or household chemicals in bottles that are made of polyvinyl chloride.

Many people simply throw away the container after using the product, but some of the craftsmen improvise - they create amazing flowerbeds from plastic bottles, without investing a penny of additional funds. To make an unusual flower garden with your own hands is for everyone who has a great desire and due patience.

Flower beds from bottles have other features that explain the popularity of this "know-how" among gardeners and gardeners:

With your own hands you can easily make many options of a small fence for a flower bed out of plastic bottles. The choice is limited only by the size of the site and the imagination of the performer. The originality of the garden can be emphasized by multi-tiered and suspended compositions, as well as flower beds in the form of various animals or figures.

Protections for a flower bed

Fence from bottles can be made g horizontal   or vertical   method. The second option is considered to be the simplest; it involves digging a container with its neck down into the ground. This method is best suited when creating flower beds that differ in complex shape, as well as when delimiting the site into beds.

A peculiar border made of plastic containers for the flowerbed will allow to realize the most daring designer's idea. It can be a flower garden in the shape of a crocodile, a bright butterfly, a pond with swans, stars and much more.

This creation process can be divided into the following steps:

1. Sketch design. We display on paper a plan for arranging bottles - their color, quantity and shape of the future flower garden.
2. Material preparation. We clean the bottles, tear off all the labels, thoroughly wash and dry. If necessary, you can paint the container in bright colors.
3. Land marking. We denote the contour on the ground, for example, by sand.
4. Installation of the fence. We dig a shallow ditch around the perimeter of the flowerbed, the width of which should be equal to the thickness of the bottles. We fill the container with pebbles or sand. We successively dig bottles into the ground, joining them very tightly with each other.

Despite the simplicity of execution, the result will only please if the flowerbed is neat and well-groomed.

By placing the bottles horizontally, you get a full-fledged pot that can be used for planting flowers or small shrubs. Before you start wrapping a flowerbed with plastic containers, you need to choose a support for stiffness: a large tire, a barrel without a bottom or a sheet of polycarbonate.

Production Order:

As soon as the fence made of plastic containers for the flowerbed is ready, we put a drainage layer on its bottom, and pour fertile soil on top. It is recommended to decorate the design with the sides with moss, shells or cones.

Original and rather unusual decoration of the summer cottage are hanging flower beds made of plastic. They are used to decorate a nondescript wall, zoning space and create the effect of a hedge.

There are two main ways of implementation, as in the past case: vertical and horizontal suspension.

The creation of "hanging gardens" with your own hands with horizontal hanging:

1. Felt-tip pen mark the contour on the bottle.
2. Cut a hole for planting flowers.
3. We make two pairs of holes and thread a fishing line or a strong thread through them.
4. We adjust the length and fix it by setting the ring below and tightly tightening the knot.

In such containers, you can plant herbs, stunted plants or ampelous flowers.

Vertical flower beds made of plastic containers are made using similar technology:

1. We cut two holes on the side of the bottle, leaving a bowl below, into which the soil will be filled.
2. We make a through hole in the base of the neck and thread the cord through this hole.
3. We adjust the length of the rope, hang the pot on a metal hook or fix it on a horizontal bar.

To decorate the gazebo or equip the patio, you can use a single cache-pot. For this we need: a buckle and crochet hook, stickers, spray paint, stationery knife, a 1.5 liter bottle.

Sequencing:

1. Cut off the bottom of the bottle, align the edges with scissors.
2. We drill holes in the resulting glass, making a small indent from the edge (5-10 mm). The distance between the holes should be 12-14 mm.
3. We repaint pots or decorate it to your taste. Leave the workpiece for a while to dry completely.
4. We knit the upper edge of the pots with yarn, using contrasting colors for this.
5. We thread a dense thread through the hole or independently tie a rope.
6. We place the flower with the pot in the finished flower pot and hang the product.

From a cache-pot with faces of various fantastic animals you can decorate a playground. It is recommended that you introduce your little helpers to creating such a fake with your own hands - children will be very enthusiastic about participating in decorating the garden. Children can be entrusted with the decoration of plant pots or the choice of images.

Multi-tiered flowerbed

The multi-level composition resembles a pyramid in shape, which consists of several tiers. The lower stage has the largest diameter, and the upper one has the smallest. The number of tiers is usually chosen arbitrarily, but it is worth considering the variety of colors for planting and the dimensions of the structure.

The flower bed is made in the following order

1. We select and sort the bottles. It is desirable that in one tier the capacity of the same displacement be used.
2. We remove the labels and wash the containers well.
3. We determine the boundaries of the flower garden and carry out the corresponding marking.
4. We form a large circle ditch along the contour. The depth of the trench should be from 8 to 10 cm.
5. We install the first tier from plastic. To strengthen the structure, you can drag the fence with wire.
6. We pour soil into the barrier and carefully tamp it in the center.
7. Mark the boundary of the second tier, making a circle of smaller diameter.
8. We install the bottles, gradually forming the next step.
9. We fill the earth and in a similar way we build the third tier.

Some nuances should be taken into account when erecting a multi-tiered flower garden:

1. It is recommended that flowers of the same size be planted in the same tier.
2. On the lower tiers, it is best to arrange plants of dark shades, and light ones - higher.
3. Plants that tolerate high humidity well need to be planted on the lower stage. After rain or watering, part of the water flows down and accumulates there. Hygrophilous plants include: irises, geraniums, astilbe, forget-me-nots, primroses and violets.
4. Asters, marigolds, nasturtium and cosmea feel best at the top of the composition. These plants are able to calmly tolerate a lack of moisture.
5. It is very important to harmoniously distribute color accents. For example, contrasting two-color flower beds look very nice. With the transition of colors from dark to light and from cold to warm, the compositions are very effective. For example: turquoise - violet - red or blue - orange - yellow.

It is advisable to select plants that bloom at the same time. Information on the timing of flowering and planting can be found on the seed packaging.

Paint selection

In the "plastic craft" you should be especially careful when choosing colors.. It is very important that your product looks qualitatively and effectively, the coating should not be covered by rain and fade in the sun. To do this, you should choose paints that have an acrylic composition or use stained glass paints - the most expensive, but very high-quality material for decorating any plastic crafts.

To decorate the summer cottage there is such a simple decor as flower beds from plastic bottles. It can be used not only for giving. People living in a village house can similarly decorate a flower garden under a window. Or, on the contrary, it will be easy for an inhabitant of an urban high-rise building to diversify the lawn at the entrance in this way.

Plastic bottles can be used in many ways. Someone uses them for household liquids or grows seedlings, others immediately hand them over for processing or throw them away without regret. Flower beds from bottles ─ another option for their use, an inexpensive way to decorate your place of residence.

Why exactly the bottles?

Firstly, this option is the most budget. Lemonade and mineral water, alcohol and even household chemicals ─ a plastic bottle can be found on every second shop window. They are widespread everywhere, they are produced and thrown out simply by tons. So why not find them worthy of use?

Plastic bottles give a lot of room for the realization of the most incredible ideas

Secondly, it is only a seemingly plastic bottle ─ flimsy and unreliable material. Filled with water, it can withstand quite large loads.

Thirdly, it is easy to cut and glue it, to paint it as you like, it does not require any complicated tools to work ─ only scissors and, if desired, paint.

More complex flower beds will require, accordingly, more materials, but the most basic ones are practically nothing.

And fourthly, the bottle will not lose its original shape, will not rust, will not collapse due to excessive humidity or a change in temperature. Plastic is a very reliable material that does not require any special attention and care.

Use cases

There are many options for building flower beds from bottles. For example, such:

• horizontal placement;
• fence;
• small flower beds in the form of animals, insects, flowers;
• mosaic. About how to make a border, see in this video:
  

In fact, there are many more options for using bottles. This material is so accessible and simple that you can create and try as many as you like without worrying about its damage. Turn on the fantasy at full power! And use the above methods only as a guiding factor.

Preparation of materials

For ordinary flowerbeds, 1.5- and 2-liter containers from under lemonade, beer, milk, etc. are suitable. It is better to use the latter ─ they have denser plastic, so it will last longer. For fences, it is advisable to select multi-colored bottles, if necessary, you can color them yourself. For work, enamel or acrylic compounds are usually used.

For the simplest flowerbed, only these items will be required.

To make a simple flowerbed, bottles of the same size and color are used, and in the manufacture of mosaics you can fantasize ─ create patterns using different colors. It is better to think over the layout of the flowerbed in advance, draw it on a piece of paper with multi-colored pens, pick up bottles of a similar color or pre-paint them. Such a flowerbed will come out neat and beautiful.

Before constructing the decor, all containers should be carefully prepared: rinse off the liquids that they contained, remove the labels, and dry well.

By the way, you can not only color them, but also fill them with colorful water. So the paint will not peel off, but the bottles for this need to be selected exclusively transparent.

Vertical placement

This is the easiest way to place (fig. 2). Before creating a decor, the material must be washed, dried and removed from all labels. After that, it is already filled with water, earth, sand or pebbles. Again, the goal here is simple - to give the entire structure stability and durability, but it will be possible to come up creatively. If transparent bottles are used, then you can pour colored water into them, pour dry and clean sand, and the pebbles themselves can play the role of a kind of decor.

Stick the bottles into the ground along the marked outline

To form a vertical fence, two steps will be required. The first is the marking of the contour, and the second is the placement of the bottles directly.

Work execution algorithm:

1. Outline marking. On a previously prepared site, it is necessary to dig shallow trenches, the width of which will correspond to the size of the bottom of the bottles used. The depth of the pits should be about 20 cm. After digging the tanks into the ground, they should not protrude more than 10 cm.
2. Placement of bottles. Products filled with the selected material are mounted vertically on the flowerbed, as densely as possible to each other. Gaps between them must be avoided. Bottles are placed in a trench around the entire perimeter of the fence.

For fencing, you can also use containers without a neck. Cut off the top of the bottle at the rate of 1/3 of its entire length.

With this type of placement, the container is dug tightly enough into the ground, to a depth of about 5 cm, while the earth is tightly driven into the bottle.

The fence will be less convex than in the previous placement.

Horizontal placement

When placed horizontally, the tanks are parallel to the ground (Fig. 3). There are 3 ways:

1. The first. A trench is also excavated, the width of which is equal to the diameter of the bottles. Containers filled with water, earth or other material are placed in it.
2. Second. The neck is cut exactly to the place where the vessel begins to narrow. The bottles are inserted into each other, the gaps are filled with earth or other material.
3. The third, the most difficult. With this method, literally vertical, tall flowerbeds are made. It will require additional materials, such as cement and a rigid base to which the bottles will be attached, for example, a large rubber tire, an old barrel without a bottom, even flexible slate can be used if desired. The size of the flower bed will depend on their size.

Throughout the entire external area of \u200b\u200bthe base, stick the bottles. To do this, a cement mortar is applied over a sufficiently thick layer so that the neck can be pressed firmly into it.

Bottles are placed from bottom to top, each bottom row will be a support for what is higher. Therefore, the very first row, which is the foundation of the entire building, needs to be given close attention: it should be installed as evenly as possible.

Hanging flower beds

In addition to ordinary flowerbeds, horizontal and vertical, you can use this option to decorate a summer cottage. Surely somewhere there is an ugly or just plain-looking wall that spoils the overall look. It is her and should be used for hanging flower beds.

Hanging flower beds will save space on the site

To make peculiar cups for the subsequent planting of flowers in them, the bottles should be cut off. Then such containers are fixed on ropes or chains.

As plantings, it is better to use climbing plants, so that the flower garden subsequently grows and completely covers the wall.

In order for the roots of plants not to rot in the ground, one or more small holes must be made in the bottom of the glass. Thus, excess water, and such will appear in abundance during summer rains, will simply drain. Useful tips see in this video:

  The process of creating a hanging flower garden will certainly attract children (Fig. 4). The main thing is to protect the kids from cuts on the sharp edges of the processed bottles. You can paste them with tape or insulating tape: it is both safe and convenient.

Plastic bottle fence

To create such a fence, you need a rigid support, as when creating a vertical flowerpot. Typically, these are wooden or iron poles. The bottles themselves are strung on a wire that attaches to the crossbars. For more details on the implementation of the idea, see this video:

  You can also decorate the fence in different ways. First of all, it is required to draw his scheme, where bottles painted in various colors will participate. Animals, insects and flowers ─ this decoration method is just shown for creativity with children, because there are so many options.

For example, you can make several little animals that will impressively sit in the middle of an already prepared vertical or horizontal flowerbed, the main thing is that it be wide enough for this (Fig. 5).

The garden decor element itself can play the role of a lawn, and even the little animals themselves will be flower beds-containers in which it is convenient to plant flowers.

It can be pigs, hedgehogs, cats, dogs ─ again, everything that the imagination of the master will allow. And it’s better to ask the child about this, he will probably come up with something funny and at the same time original.

Funny animals are best made from large plastic bottles

How are such animals performed? A plastic bottle is taken, a rectangle is cut out on one side of it, and small holes are made on the opposite side for water to drain. A few more bottles can be used on components: eyes, ears, tails, etc. By the way, it would be nice to paint them with acrylic paints ─ it will be much brighter and more beautiful. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that they need to be painted on both sides. You can “plant” such a little animal anywhere, it can even be one, only for this you need to select a container of the appropriate size.

If the bottle is large and wide enough, it can in fact play the role of an independent composition.

We need to take a closer look at it: perhaps its shape or color itself will tell you which unknown beast to turn it into. And maybe not at all in a beast, but in a boat or a cart with flowers. From several identical bottles you can make a whole train carrying flowers to some flower bed.

Bottles per se can play the role of artificial flowers and even trees. For example, it’s easy to build a palm tree from them: take widespread brown bottles for the trunk, cut off each bottom and string them one on top of the other. And the leaves of the plant should be made from equally common green bottles. To make them look like leaves, they need to be cut off curly with scissors.

Mosaic from plastic bottles

Such a flower bed performs an exclusively decorative function, since it is usually not intended for planting flowers. The plants here are more likely drawn using the bottles themselves. At the same time, fantasy is not limited by anything except the color spectrum and the availability of the necessary materials. You can “draw” bottles of the muzzle of cats or dogs, bees, butterflies, ladybugs, or depict some abstraction ─ everything that only comes to the master’s mind. See this video for an interesting application of bottle mosaic:

  If before that it seemed that decorating a personal plot was not easy or even unnecessary, then it's time to get convinced of this. Firstly, it’s necessary, because the house should please the eye not only inside, but also outside. And secondly, if you make at least a bit of effort, then there is nothing easier than to plant a couple of flower beds, protecting them with several unnecessary bottles.

A plastic bottle is the easiest way to decorate.

A cheap, convenient and practical thing that is subject to emission. And also with material that pollutes the environment very much, if you don’t take it to special processing points. Therefore, here practicality goes hand in hand with common sense: it is better to use a thing for decoration than to send it to the trash. Garden flower bed is the best confirmation of this.

Draw a plan of your site on paper, take an interest in these activities of children, evaluate how much unnecessary trash has accumulated in the pantry. Create while staying practical. Is this not a universal way to bring joy and harmony to life?

Bright well-groomed flower garden - decoration of any summer house and personal plot. In the arrangement of landscape design, you can use available improvised materials. For example, create beautiful flower beds from plastic bottles with your own hands. Using recyclables, it’s easy to decorate an inconspicuous wall or fence, to make an unusual flower garden fence, hanging pots or a full flowerpot. First you need to choose a model of the flowerbed and get acquainted with the technology of its manufacture.

Framing the flower garden with PVC bottles

Advantages of Plastic Bottle Beds

Arrangement of a flower garden using plastic containers has a lot of advantages. The primary plus is the availability of supplies. Each family in one quantity or another acquires drinks, water or household chemicals in bottles of polyvinyl chloride. Most consumers throw away an empty container, but some craftsmen improvise - they create unusual flower beds from plastic bottles without investing extra money.

Plastic containers - affordable design material for flower beds

There are other advantages that explain the popularity of such “know-how” among summer residents and gardeners:

• PVC bottles of various displacement - a universal material. They are suitable for creating a flower garden fence, building a mini-fence, growing seedlings and decorating the site. From the bottles you can make a flower bed of almost any size and shape.
• Perennials planted in "plastic" structures grow and develop within specified limits without growing over the site. This quality greatly facilitates the care of plants and prevents weeds from entering the flower garden.
• The fence helps retain moisture, so that the soil does not dry out.
• In case of damage, the flower garden is easy to repair. It is enough to replace the broken element with a new one.
• With the help of fences from bottles it is not difficult to zoning the space of the site, to delimit planting and outline the boundaries of the path.
• Reusable use of plastic products indirectly protects the environment. PVC material is difficult to dispose of - its decay period in nature is about 100 years.
• Plastic does not need special preparation before use in gardening. Bottles are easy to process - they are easy to cut, glue or dye.
• At first glance, a PVC bottle is a flimsy and unstable material. However, it is not. A container filled with sand or water can withstand heavy loads. Over time, the flowerbed in the country will not lose its original shape, will not collapse and will not succumb to corrosion from an excess of moisture or temperature fluctuations.

Multi-level flowerbed for vegetable crops

What flower beds can you do yourself

With your own hands you can create many options for a fence for a flower bed from plastic bottles. The choice is limited by the imagination of the artist and the size of the site. The originality of the garden is emphasized by suspended and tiered compositions, as well as flower beds.

Plastic bottle rail for flowerbed

A hedge for a flower bed from bottles is carried out vertically or horizontally. The first option is the simplest and involves digging a container into the ground - with the neck down. The method is optimally suitable for creating flower beds of complex shape and delimitation of beds in the area.

Bright garden beds

A peculiar border for a bed of plastic bottles allows you to realize the most daring design idea. It can be an artificial pond with swans, a bright butterfly, a flower garden in the shape of a crocodile, stars and much more.

The whole implementation process can be divided into several stages:

1. Sketch design. On paper, display the layout of the bottles - their number, color and shape of the flower garden.
2. Material preparation. Bottles must be cleaned, labels torn, washed and dried. Paint if necessary.
3. Land marking. On the ground with sand, outline the outline.
4. Installation of the fence:

• dig a shallow ditch along the perimeter of the flowerbed, the width of which is equal to the thickness of the bottles;
• fill containers with sand or pebbles;
• bottles are successively dug into the ground, docking tightly with each other.

Sophisticated flower configuration

Despite the ease of execution, the result pleases with a well-groomed and neat look.

With a horizontal arrangement of bottles, a full-fledged flower pot is formed. Before you cover the flowerbed with plastic bottles, you need to choose a rigid support: a polycarbonate sheet, a barrel without a bottom or a large tire.

Deep flowerpot made of plastic containers

Production Order:

1. Prepare a cement-sand mortar by mixing the components in a ratio of 2: 1, respectively.
2. Wash the bottles and fill them with sand.
3. Lay a layer of cement along the inner contour of the mold.
4. Insert bottles into the solution, filling the entire form with plastic containers. It is possible to attach to the cement both the neck and the bottom - the appearance of the composition depends on this.
5. The second and subsequent rows are staggered.

When the fence of plastic bottles for the flowerbed is ready, drainage should be placed on the bottom, and fertile soil should be poured on top. Decorate the sides of the structure with cones, shells or moss.

Wall decoration hanging flower pots

Hanging flower beds for an unusual decoration

An unusual option for decorating a summer cottage is hanging flower beds made of plastic. They create the effect of a hedge and are used to zoning space or decorating a plain wall.

As in the previous case, two implementation methods are possible: horizontal and vertical suspension.

Do-it-yourself creation of "hanging gardens" with a horizontal arrangement:

1. Felt-tip pen mark the contour on the bottle.
2. Cut a hole for planting flowers.
3. Make two pairs of holes and thread a strong thread or fishing line through them.
4. Adjust the length and fix it by installing the bottom ring and tightening the knot tightly.

The device of a hanging horizontal planter

In overhead containers, ampelous flowers, undersized plants or herbs are planted.

Vertical flower beds from plastic bottles are made according to a similar technology:

1. Cut two side holes, leaving the bottom of the soil bowl.
2. Make a through hole at the base of the neck and thread a cord through it.
3. Adjust the length of the rope and hang the pot on the prepared hook or fix it on the horizontal bar.

Hanging upright flowerbed

Single pots are suitable for decorating a gazebo or arranging a patio.

It is necessary to prepare:

• a bottle - 1.5 l;
• stationery knife;
• spray paint;
• stickers;
• yarn and crochet hook.

Workshop on creating pots

Sequencing:

1. Cut off the bottom of the bottle, trim the edges with scissors.
2. In the resulting glass, drill holes, indenting 5-10 mm from the edge. The distance between the holes is about 12-14 mm.
3. Paint the pots or decorate to your taste. Leave the workpiece to dry completely.
4. Tie the upper edge of the pots with contrasting yarn.
5. Pass a dense thread through the hole or tie the rope yourself.
6. Put a flower pot in a ready-made flower pot and hang it.

Making pots "funny animals"

The playground can be decorated with flowerpots with faces of different animals. It is advisable to include little helpers in the creation of the do-it-yourself crafts - the children will be happy to participate in decorating the garden. Kids can be entrusted with the choice of image and the decoration of flower pots.

Multi-tier flowerbed to save space

The multilevel composition resembles a pyramid consisting of several tiers. The lower stage has the largest diameter, and the upper one is the smallest. The number of tiers is chosen arbitrarily, while the dimensions of the structure and the variety of flowers to be planted must be taken into account.

The procedure for the manufacture of flower beds:

1. Pick up and sort the bottles. In one tier, it is desirable to use the capacity of one liter and color.
2. Remove labels and wash containers.
3. Determine the boundaries of the flower garden and perform markup.

Multi-tier flowerbed made of plastic container

When erecting a multi-tiered flower garden, some nuances should be taken into account:

1. In one tier, it is desirable to plant flowers of the same size.
2. Plants of dark shades are best placed in the lower tiers, and light - higher.
3. At the lower stage, plants that tolerate high humidity should be planted. After watering or rain, part of the water will drain and accumulate below. Moisture-loving flowers include: violets, primroses, forget-me-nots, astilbe, geraniums and irises.
4. Marigolds, asters, cosmeas and nasturtium will feel good at the top of the composition. These plants calmly tolerate a lack of moisture.
5. It is important to harmoniously arrange color accents. Two-color contrasting flower beds look beautiful. Spectacular compositions are obtained when the color changes from cold to warm or from dark to light. For example: turquoise - purple - blue or red - orange - yellow.

Tip. It is advisable to choose plants that bloom at the same time. Information about the timing of planting and flowering is indicated on the seed packaging.

Artificial flower bed "Ladybug"

Flower bed ladybug

From a plastic container, you can make a bright and cheerful flower bed in the form of a ladybug. The stylized element will fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape of the site. An additional plus is the off-season and unpretentiousness of artificial decor.

To create a flower bed in the courtyard of a private house or in the country house you will need:

• containers of the same displacement (0.5, 1 or 2 l) - the volume is selected depending on the size of the flower bed;
• acrylic paint of red, white and black colors;
• scissors, sand and cobblestones to form the contour of the composition.

The layout of the elements of the "ladybug"

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Prepare the bottles. From each cut a third, leaving the lower part, and paint in the desired color. Workpieces should dry completely.
2. On the site, outline the contour, taking into account the dimensions of the finished product. If a two-liter container is used, then the length of the “ladybug” is about 170 cm and the width is 150 cm. When working with a half-liter capacity, these parameters will be 100 cm and 90 cm, respectively. You can perform an accurate calculation yourself, starting from the scheme proposed below.
3. Set stones around the perimeter of the future composition - the curb will prevent the scattering of soil from the flowerbed.
4. Mix the sand with the ground and fill the flower bed with the composition, forming a small slide. Moisten and tamp the base a little.
5. Draw the contours of the insect with a stick on the ground, indicating the location of the wings, muzzle and eye.
6. Following the outlined boundaries and composition scheme, lay out the elements of the “ladybug” like a mosaic.
