There is a desire, but no possibility - so they say, when you really want to create, while considering this venture a rather costly idea. There is no need to be upset, because today with the advent of Art Dump everything has become much easier.

This trend in design (from the English - artistic pile of garbage) provides the use of unnecessary things. The material is not so important, you just need a good idea and a little patience.

Recycled materials can not only be a source of creating unique products, but also become an additional source of income. You should start with small and uncomplicated things.

Materials for crafts

In human life, a lot of discarded material, recyclables, which are often simply disposed of.

But on its basis, you can make interesting, unique things, and sometimes even useful objects. This is a benefit in material terms, and a great way to attach children to creativity, develop their imagination.

To create the crafts you will need the following materials:

• glass - bottles, glasses, different dishes (even with flaws will do);
• plastic - lids, disposable dishes, various containers;
• CDs that are no longer in use;
• a huge assortment of paper;
• metal waste;
• leftover fabric, yarn, costume jewelry, and many other discarded material.

Glass bottle crafts

On the shelves of stores today you can see a large selection of drinks in bottles, varying in shape, size, color. Such copies are a pity to throw away, and it is not worth it. Crafts from empty bottles can complement the interior of the house, and diversify the exterior of the country house.

Vase

Glass bottles themselves are already an analogue of a vase. With a little imagination, the bottle can easily turn into an original vase for flowers.

What you need to prepare:

• an empty glass container;
• White paint; you can use regular paint (then don't forget a brush), or in an aerosol pack;
• scissors;
• Self-adhesive paper in any color;
• Primer for glass, or sandpaper.

The step-by-step fulfillment of the product:

• For the work you need a clean bottle, so first it must be carefully washed and cleaned from the label.
• Dry the bottle perfectly.
• Before painting, the glass surface should be treated with a primer or sanded with sandpaper. This procedure is necessary to ensure that the paint is applied evenly and holds firmly.
• While the bottles are drying, the decorative elements are prepared. In this case, triangles. They are cut out of self-adhesive paper. The size and number depends on the parameters of bottles and the intended pattern. It is very important to keep the triangles the same size parts.
• You can start decorating the bottle according to the conceived pattern. Details are glued neatly, without the formation of wrinkles.

Instead of triangles you can choose circles, flowers, butterflies, leaves - whatever your imagination prompts you. It remains to fill the vases with water, and put the flowers.

Shelf

To make a shelf in addition to glass bottles you need sheets of plywood or chipboard of certain sizes:

• On the sides, make holes corresponding in diameter to the neck of the bottle.
• Place bottles (four pieces, two on each side) on the base, preferably gluing them together for strength.
• Put the next sheet on the necks and lower it to the expanded part of the bottle. As an option - you can make a one-tiered, or multi-tiered shelf.
• Plywood sheets in this case should be glued to the end of the bottles. You should not forget about the acceptable load. On such a shelf, you can put several books, arrange photographs or souvenirs.

Candlestick

It is easy and simple to make an original candlestick from a glass bottle with your own hands. You just need to cut the container to the desired height and fill it with wax and a wick. Much easier - put a small candle inside the bottle, and the container itself to decorate. You can cut the blank in two ways.

The first way:

• A thick cotton thread is enough to soak it in alcohol (nail polish remover can be an alternative).
• Wrap it around the bottle at the place where the cut should take place and tie it.
• If you are not sure what to do, you should know how to do it, and if you are not sure what to do it.
• Immerse the bottle for three minutes in boiling water and immediately transfer it to a dish with ice water. A sharp difference in temperature will do its job - it will crack the bottle in the place of the burning thread.

If you have to work with a container of thick glass, this procedure is repeated two or three times.

The second way:

• You need a glass cutter.
• Wrap the bottle with an ordinary hair band and draw a line with the tool along its contour.
• Then burn it and repeat the process of the first method, i.e. first dip it in boiling water, and then in water with ice.
• After splitting, the sharp edge is processed with sandpaper twice. The first time a coarse-grained texture is used, then a fine-grained material is sanded.
• A wick is inserted into the candlestick, fixed in an upright position, and filled with melted paraffin.

Finally, the finished candlestick is decorated.
