On July 17, I published How I earn in Plastic Bottle. I also discussed the importance of upcycling to us and how we can make money using just a plastic bottle made of flowers.
I am happy because many have noticed here and appreciated my effort in making a flower made of plastic bottles. Many also commented that if I could publish how to do that so that they would do the same. So I am happy because you will do what I do.
In making this flower plastic bottle. You need two:
First: Perseverance or Patience
It is not easy, when you do it for the first time you will experience pain in the hands, back and foot pain but when you are used to it, it is no longer difficult and painful on the hand.
You need this attitude to make it because without it you will not be able to finish making a flower plastic bottle. You need to enjoy making it.
Second: Time
This is the most important thing because you should know what time you start and finish doing it. You need to spend time here to increase your work especially if there are many orders. But if you do not sell and you just want to make a decoration in your house, it is okay to finish one flower in 1-2 days. Time must always be set.
Now, I will teach you the simplest design to imitate quickly and you will not be difficult.
Step 1: Cut the lid of the plastic bottle then make a flower and pierce it in the middle
Step 2: Cut off the end of the plastic bottle.
Step 3: Cut it in a straight line with a wide and thin cut. Just as an alternative.
Step 4: Cut the wide side diagonally and make it look like a leaf.
Step 5: Insert it into the bottle cap hole and lock it so that it does not come off quickly especially when it is windy.
Step 6: Just repeat it until you make 4-6 flowers then stack it. But this is your strategy of how long you will last.
Step 7: Apply hardwood to prevent it from falling. Finish!
That's it!
If you do not understand my instruction, just look at the picture I made. The person who does that while I take pictures using my OPPO A9 cellphone, is my mother. She helps me do that especially when there are many orders.
I hope you will also do what I do to make money especially now in places that are still ECQ, this is one of our hobbies to make money using plastic bottles or have a display at home that you do not need to buy outside.
It will be worth it and you will enjoy it. Just Try! Challenge your self to do that.
If you like it. Don't forget to motivate me more๐๐
I look forward to your work and share it here.๐
Good luck!
Cool! I saw some like this and wondered how it was done. This is really painful in the hands. I tried making butterflies out of plastic bottles and I ended up with only 10 pcs. I am also a believer of recycling things to save mother earth, so I am happy to have read this article. You might want to join Craftworks community and be one of their DIY contributors.
