Sings a song loudly.

Tools and materials for making crafts:

scissors;
hot glue gun;
regular tape;
double-sided tape;
plastic ball for the head of a cockerel;
red and yellow corrugated paper;
three plastic bottles (any shape of bottle);
red and yellow disposable plates;
decorative eyes.

Sequence of making crafts:

Step 1. Cut from plastic bottles half, leaving the part with the necks, and fastening them together with tape as follows:


The result is the body of a cockerel:


Step 2. From yellow and red corrugated paper, we cut ribbons approximately 6 cm wide and 40 cm long. We make cuts along the width of the ribbon to create cockerel feathers.


Step 3. We wrap the ribbon around the cockerel's neck, alternating red and yellow.
We secure the paper to the bottle with small pieces of tape so that the ribbons do not move off the cockerel’s neck.



Step 4. We wrap the plastic ball with yellow corrugated paper and tie the paper onto the ball with a thread. Glue the head to the neck using a glue gun.


Step 5. In order for the cockerel to stand, I made a stand out of plasticine, then covered the stand with New Year's tinsel.


Step 6. We take disposable plates and cut strips like this:


Step 7. We cut the circle strips in half and make small cuts along the width:


Step 8 We fasten the strips together using a stapler.


Step 9 We make a cut on the bottle in the place where the cockerel's tail will be located and insert the tail from the strips, securing it with a glue gun.


Step 10. To hide the neck of the bottle under the tail, take the cut out middle of the plate.


Step 11. Fold the plate in half and make cuts.


Step 12. We close the neck of the bottle under the tail with this semicircle and secure it with a stapler.


Step 13 We draw templates for the scallop (2), beard (3), wing (4,5), beak (1), cut out the details.



Step 14. The parts (comb, beard and beak) need to be bent along the fold line (the line is visible on the template), and the parts are glued to the head of the cockerel glue gun By applying glue to the strip that was formed when folded, the eyes can be glued with PVA glue. The result is such a beautiful cockerel head.


Step 15. Connect the wing parts using double-sided tape, make small cuts on the small part.



Step 16. Attach the wings with double-sided tape to the body of the cockerel on one side and the other.


Our bright, handsome cockerel is ready!



Dear colleagues, I wish you a Happy New Year interesting ideas, creative success and joyful events.
Let the cockerel fulfill all our wishes!!!

I would like to introduce you to the cockerel Petrunya.
Not a single yard in a village or village can do without this magnificent bird. So I made myself a friend, a bright and majestic owner of the yard!

I will be happy to share with you the stages of its production (based on the idea of ​​​​making birds from plastic bottles by Alena Zinovieva).

To make the mold we need:
1) 5l. canister (I use it from under liquid soap),
2) 5l plastic bottle,
3) metal-plastic pipe (leg height approximately 30-35 cm),
4) two 1.5 l. plastic bottles for thighs,
5) screws, scissors, stationery knife, screwdriver.

For fastenings, I use these self-tapping screws (I buy them by weight in construction stores).
Small (about 1.5-1.6 cm) - for attaching feathers and component parts to each other.
Large ones (about 5-6 cm) - for attaching the head to the neck.

1) Move the top of the canister about 3cm.
2) We bend the metal-plastic pipe (shape the legs), in my case, the rooster walks ( right leg pushed forward), and fasten it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
3) For the neck, from 5l. bottles, fold the envelope, attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
4) From 1.5 liter bottles we cut out two “thighs”, which we attach to the canister with self-tapping screws.

For the feathers, I used bottles of this shape. We cut off the long neck, cut the bottle into 5 feathers (we are guided by the protrusions on the bottom of the bottle), and use the upper part of the feathers.

We begin to cover the body from the “thighs”. Disconnect them from the canister for convenience.
1) attach the corrugated tube to the neck of the bottle,
2) attach the feathers using wire.

We attach the finished legs back to the canister.

Starting from the back, we cover the entire body, except the back, with feathers (we attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws). We leave the back of the neck open because there will be other feathers there.

The next step is to start making the paws. From 2.5mm copper wire (or any other wire, preferably rigid, but not steel, which bends), we bend the shape of the legs (you can see more details in MK Filin). We create the effect of paws from a corrugated tube. We insert the remaining tail between metal-plastic pipe and corrugated tube. You can also fill the bottom with glue for strength.

We cut out claws from the bottom of the bottle (photo). They should be narrow and long. We fasten them with glue (I use “Moment of installation - liquid nails”).

We paint the body and legs using spray paint (I use universal enamel from KUDO).

We cut out the head from construction foam using a stationery knife, it is very sharp and the cuts are smooth and not torn. If the cutting process seems complicated to you, cut out all the parts separately! Then they can be glued together with glue.

Using sandpaper (medium), we bring it to the shape we need.

We treat the surface with acrylic putty, wait for it to dry completely and sand it again until smooth. After that, we treat it with ordinary PVA glue, so the paint adheres very well.

We begin to paint the head (you can use acrylic paints, it’s more convenient). Glue on the eyes (I bought them at a fabric store).

After fitting the head to the body, the husband said that the comb turned out not like a rooster’s, but more suitable for a chicken. I decided to redo it. I made a pattern out of paper (I tried it on for a long time to make it larger). I transferred it to foam plastic, cut it out and glued it in place of the previous one.

Using wire, we begin to attach the long wing feathers. The back remains open.

I cover the top of the wings with these feathers from 1.5 liter corrugated feathers. bottles The last row goes to the bend, into the inside of the wing.

We paint it with paint, let it dry well and attach it to the body using perforated tape (sold at any hardware store) and self-tapping screws. We bend the mesh for attaching the tail (you can increase its length and the tail will turn out richer).

Let's start making the tail.
We cut feathers from 2l or 2.5l. bottles into 5 parts. We paint separately on both sides (first we applied black, after drying a little blue)

We attach it to the mesh using wire. After coloring, I cut the feathers in half again, so the tail turned out to be more magnificent.

For the feathers on the back, I cut feathers of different lengths, from transparent bottles (this makes it easier to paint with yellow), approximately 2-2.5 cm wide. I attached it to the back using self-tapping screws, 3-4 pieces at a time.

Not a single yard in the village can do without such a bird as a rooster. In this article we want to tell you how to make a magnificent rooster from plastic bottles with your own hands.

Let's go to the lesson

The process of making a proud cockerel can be traced using the example of a master class. The step-by-step creation of a cockerel is described in detail and shown in the photo.

In order to make a cockerel, take a canister (volume 5 liters), a plastic bottle (volume five liters), a couple of plastic bottles for the legs (volume one and a half liters), a metal-plastic pipe, scissors, a screwdriver, a stationery knife, self-tapping screws.

The photo shows a model of the body of a cockerel.

In order to fasten the product, you need to use self-tapping screws. They can be purchased at specialized construction stores. The length of the small screws is about one and a half cm, and the large ones are five to six cm. We will use the small ones to fasten the feathers, and the large ones to attach the head.

The first step we will make is the frame of the cockerel. To do this, we move the upper part of the canister by three cm. Then we shape the legs of the metal-plastic pipe. In our case, the cockerel will walk, so one leg moves forward. You need to secure it with self-tapping screws to the canister. In order to make the cockerel's neck, we fold the envelope and attach the screws. Then we cut out the hams from small bottles and attach them to the canister with self-tapping screws. This is how the body turns out:

In order to make the feathers of the cockerel, we will use beer bottles (the shape is shown in the photo). It is necessary to cut off the long neck and cut the bottle into five parts. It is best to navigate along the bottom. We will only use the top part.

Now we move on to the process of pasting the body. You need to start working from the feet. To make it more convenient, you can detach them from the body. Attach crepe paper to the neck of the bottle, and then use wire to attach the feathers.

After we have made the cockerel's legs, we attach them to the body again.

Well, now we’ll just cover the body with feathers, starting from the back. It is necessary to cover all parts except the back with feathers. It is also necessary to leave the back of the cockerel's neck open. As mentioned above, the feathers must be attached to small self-tapping screws.

Then we need to make the paws. Take copper wire (two and a half mm thick). You can take any other wire that bends, but not steel. We bend the shape of the legs from this wire. Then we take corrugated paper and create a leather effect. The tail that remains must be inserted between the corrugated paper and the metal-plastic pipe. To prevent anything from slipping out, seal the bottom with glue for strength.

Then take the bottom of the bottle and cut claws out of it. The claws should be as narrow and long as possible, as shown in the photo. Using instant glue we attach them to the legs.

Use regular spray paint to paint the body and legs of the cockerel.

Cut out the head of a cockerel from construction foam. We use a utility knife to ensure that the cuts are as sharp as possible.

If things aren't going smoothly for you, then you can cut out all the pieces separately and then glue them together with glue.

This is what happens at this stage:

The second photo also shows the cockerel's head:

And third, but from a new angle:

This shape was made using medium-hard sandpaper.

We cover the surface of the head with acrylic putty or any other. Then we need to wait until it dries completely and only then process the head again until it is perfectly smooth. The next step is to treat the surface using regular PVA glue. This is necessary so that the paint adheres well in the future.

Use acrylic paints (or any other) to decorate the cockerel's head. Then we glue the eyes. You can make them yourself, or you can buy them in a specialized store. The next step is to prepare the shape of the wings and then cut them out using side cutters.

We fasten the long feathers of the wing using ordinary wire, the back should still remain open.

You can close the top using corrugated bottles. The last row should go inside the wing, on the bend.

We cover the surface with paint and wait until the product dries. Then we attach the wings to the body and prepare the mesh for the tail. The longer the mesh, the more magnificent the ponytail.

The tail feathers must be cut from 2.5 or two liter bottles. Now we need to paint each feather in two parts.



Making a rooster from plastic bottles with your own hands is easy; step-by-step instructions are proof of this. The first version of the craft is perfect for working with kids, and the resulting souvenir will look great at home or on the property. The second craft made from this material is a more complex craft that requires certain Additional materials and knowledge.

Now you can start making the paws, for which you will need copper wire. You need to bend the shape of the legs, and then create from a corrugated tube desired effect. Insert the tail between the two tubes and secure everything with glue for strength. Cut the claws from the bottom of the bottle, they must be long and narrow, and attach using glue. Using a can of spray paint, paint the existing parts of the cockerel.







While the body and legs are drying, you can start creating the head. First, it should be cut out of foam plastic using a stationery leg. The cuts should be sharp, but in no case torn. If it is difficult to cut out the head at once, you can cut out its parts separately and then fasten them with glue. Sandpaper will help remove unevenness, and then treat the surface with acrylic lubricant. Then apply a layer of regular glue and, when it is completely dry, paint the bird's head acrylic paints, make eyes.

Now fit the head to the body. Prepare a mold for the wings and attach the long wings to the back, leaving it open. Color everything, make a tail. To do this, cut long feathers from a two-liter bottle, paint them on both sides and attach them to the body, again using wire. To finish the feathers on the back, cut out short 2 cm feathers from bottles and attach them to the back; you will need self-tapping screws for this.
