Penguins from plastic bottles

Favorite characters of many children and adults are penguins. Of course, from the cartoon "Madagascar." To make the characters of the cartoon a reality and leave to guard the garden house - that's our task for today.

We will create penguins from plastic bottles: the material is common, the work is easy.

We should get such sympathy:

Penguins from plastic bottles look great on the snow and all their appearance remind of the imminent coming of the New Year.

Penguin from a plastic bottle: a master class

1. First we need a bottle. If you use a standard plastic bottle, for example, from oil, then the penguin will turn out to be very thin. It is better to use "pot-bellied" bottles. The toy-penguin from such a plastic bottle will turn out to be large and beautiful:

The color of the bottle is not at all important, since it will be completely covered with opaque paint.

2. Cut the bottles in half and leave the bottoms.

Of the two halves of the bottles will be one pretty penguinock.

3. Now glue the two halves together.

4. Now the fun begins. To begin with, we need to cover the resulting blank with white paint. It is most convenient to spray the paint from the can, but you can use ordinary acrylic paints and an old good brush.

5. Begin to paint the toy. First draw the border of the "dress coat", then outline the eyes and beak. We paint the clothes brightly so that the penguin will stand out in the snow.

6. Now you need to prepare a pompon for the cap. To do this, take two rings of cardboard and add them together ...

... and wrapped in threads.

Then cut the thread along the outer circumference. We thrust one part of the scissors into the gap formed by two cardboard circles, and in a circle cut the threads, without touching the layer of thread along the inner circle. We do not clean the cardboard!

Now take the thread, insert between two cartons and tighten. The uncut threads along the inner circumference are intercepted and collected in one "sheaf".

Now we remove the cardboard and straighten the threads. It turns out this kind of funny pompom:

7. It remains only to glue the pompom to the painted cap, and the handmade from the plastic bottle "pinwink" is ready!
