- And thirdly, financial savings, and this is an important aspect.
We'll tell you how to make an original decoration with your own hands.
What you need for work
So, to do creative work, let’s take scissors, a plastic bottle, take an iron from the shelf, and parchment from the kitchen pencil case. By the way, if there are two irons in the house, then it is better to use the old one, just in case.
IMPORTANT! The iron should not be hot, but warm. It should not melt the material, but only soften it.
Let's take baking parchment, as it inhibits high temperatures. It will prevent plastic from ruining the iron. And this will certainly happen if the iron is pressed directly into the material.
Place the bracelet blank on a flat surface and press the iron firmly through the parchment for about 5 seconds. If necessary, repeat the action.
How to make a bracelet from a plastic bottle
Let's make satin version bracelet
- First of all, let's prepare the workpiece. If the circle cut out of the bottle is too large for your wrist, then adjust it in size.
- We cut and fuse the ends together with an iron, glue or just tape. Each of these options will be hidden under a satin ribbon and will not be visible.
- Apply glue to the upper side of the satin ribbon and begin wrapping. You should wrap it tightly, periodically leaving droplets of glue.
- We decorate the ribbon to your liking, using beads, rhinestones, etc.
Decorating the bracelet
There is simply unlimited scope for your imagination. Plastic accessory trimmed with lace, embroidered on plastic.
Decorative fabric is glued onto wide models, threads are wound, forming patterns from them.
Some models are decorated with a large number of small beads, due to which the plastic itself is not visible.
