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 manufacture (based on the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bmaking birds from plastic bottles by Alena Zinovieva).

To make a mold, we need:
1) 5l. canister (I use from under liquid soap),
2) 5L plastic bottle,
3) metal-plastic pipe (height of legs is about 30-35 cm),
4) two 1.5l. plastic bottles for "thighs",
5) self-tapping screws, scissors, stationery knife, screwdriver.

For fastenings, I use these self-tapping screws (I buy by weight in hardware stores).
Small (about 1.5-1.6 cm) - for attaching feathers and component parts to each other.
Large (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 (we give the shape of the legs), in my case, the rooster is walking (the right leg is extended forward), and we fasten it to the canister with screws.
3) For the neck, from 5l. bottles, fold the envelope, fasten it to the canister with screws.
4) From 1.5 l bottles we cut out two "thighs", which we attach to the canister with self-tapping screws.

For feathers, I used bottles like this. We cut off a long neck, cut the bottle into 5 feathers (we focus on the protrusions on the bottom of the bottle), use the upper part of the feathers.

We begin to close the body with the "thighs". Detach them from the canister for convenience.
1) attach the corrugated tube to the neck of the bottle,
2) attach the feathers with wire.

We attach the finished legs back to the canister.

Starting from the back, we close the entire body, except for the back, with feathers (we fasten it to the canister with screws). We leave the back of the neck open, because there will be other feathers.

The next step is to start making paws. From copper wire 2.5 mm (or any other, preferably rigid, but not steel, which bends), we bend the shape of the paws (for more details, see MK Filin). From the corrugated tube we create the effect of paws. The left tail is inserted between the metal-plastic pipe and the corrugated tube. From below, you can still pour glue for strength.

Cut out claws from the bottom of the bottle (photo). They should be narrow and long. We fix them with glue (I use "Installation Moment - Liquid Nails").

We paint the torso and legs with spray paint (I use universal enamel from the KUDO company).

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

With the help of sandpaper (medium) we bring to the shape we need.

We process the surface with acrylic putty, wait for complete drying and once again skin it to smoothness. After that, we process it with ordinary PVA glue, so the paint fits very well.

We begin to paint the head (you can use acrylic paints, it's more convenient). Glue the eyes (bought in a fabric store).

After fitting the head to the body, the husband said that the comb turned out not to be a rooster, but more suitable for a chicken. Decided to redo. I made a pattern out of paper (I tried it on for a long time so that it was larger). I transferred it to the foam, cut it out and glued it in place of the former.

With the help of wire, we begin to fasten the long feathers of the wing. The back stays open.

I close the top of the wings with such feathers from corrugated 1.5 liters. bottles. The last row goes to the bend, into the inside of the wing.

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

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

We attach to the grid with a 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 (it’s easier to dye yellow this way), about 2-2.5 cm wide. Attached to the back with self-tapping screws, 3-4 pieces at once.

If you want to unusually decorate a site or a house, there is no need to spend money on expensive sculptures or consumables. From various improvised means, you can make a figurine of a funny bright cockerel.

Plastic bottles and corks are the most affordable material. The big advantage is flexibility. Such plastic is easily cut with a knife or scissors, and you can use an ordinary iron to round the surface and edges.

From plastic bottles

You can use multi-colored bottles to make crafts, or you can achieve a suitable color scheme using cans of paints or TEX enamel.

Prepare in advance:

  • several empty plastic bottles;
  • wire or old corrugated hose;
  • Styrofoam;
  • scotch;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • glue;
  • paints.

How to make a rooster from plastic bottles? An empty five-liter bottle is taken as the basis for crafts. The bottom is cut off from it, the edges are bent inward.

The cockerel looks great on the fence of the cottage or serves as an original weather vane.

There is another option for making a cockerel from plastic bottles: a master class designed for beginners. The craft does not require special skills.

Prepare in advance:

  • three brown plastic bottles;
  • disposable cups and plates of yellow and red colors;
  • yellow ball for dry pool;
  • double-sided tape, regular tape;
  • stapler;
  • black marker.

Cut off the tops of the bottles and fasten them together.

There is a more complicated option. It makes it possible to get a real sculpture on the site.

For work you will need:

They begin with the manufacture of the torso and neck of the future sculpture. They are made from five-liter and one and a half liter bottles. Pipes are used to make legs. For thighs, take a one and a half liter bottle.

Self-tapping screws of various sizes are used to fasten parts to each other.

The pipes are shaped and the desired position of the bird's legs. Move the top of the bottle a few centimeters and roll up the neck wrap from the second bottle. The hips are cut out and attached to the base with self-tapping screws.

Feathers are cut from parts of the bottles along the entire length. They close the body of the bird, starting from the bottom. It is best to attach the feathers to the wire. The torso is closed, leaving the back part of the neck open. A different kind of feathers are attached there.

Bend the wire for the paws. The hose will complete the further shape. A tail is inserted between the pipes and everything is fixed with glue. Cut long and narrow claws from the bottom of the bottle, fasten with glue. Paint the sculpture with a can of paint.

While the torso with legs dries, make the head. It is cut out of foam using a clerical knife. Cuts must be sharp, but not torn. You can cut the head in parts, and then fasten them with glue.

Irregularities are removed with sandpaper. Then the surface is treated with acrylic lubricant. Apply a layer of ordinary glue, wait for it to dry completely. After that, the bird's head is painted with acrylic paints, eyes are made.

Attach the head to the body. Prepare the shape for the wings. Attach them to the back of the bird, leaving it open. Coloring.

For a tail from a two-liter bottle, feathers are cut along the length, dyed on each side and attached to the body with a wire. At the end of the work, short feathers are cut, a couple of centimeters in length, fastened to the back with self-tapping screws.

Complex option, takes a lot of time. But the end result is a real masterpiece.

Plywood figurine

You can make a cockerel out of plywood. Such work can be done even by a schoolboy.

Ready for work:

Making a cockerel with your own hands- work for diligent and patient. It requires attention, time and effort. But with the desire and patience, everything will work out for beginners. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step algorithm.

To color the product, take bright colors. At the end of the work you can cover the cockerel with varnish. When using acrylic paints varnishing is not needed.

From bottle caps

To make a rooster from corks from plastic bottles, prepare a diagram in advance. Suitable option for cross-stitch or beadwork. The final work will be very impressive.

Dial the desired number of caps of the desired colors. You can line the surface for accuracy, as in the diagram. Glue corks if the panel is horizontal, or nail them if the work is vertical. Covers are easier to attach with the back side. They hold on tighter, and the cockerel turns out to be especially spectacular from a distance.

If suddenly there were not enough covers of any colors, acrylic paints will solve the problem. In places where it is impossible to nail a cork, they are fixed with a gun or glue.

After completion of work, auxiliary lines are removed.

The application can be made on the outer wall or inside the apartment.

From old tires

Old car tires are a great starting material for creativity. The dacha will be decorated with a motley cockerel. Prepare a pair of tires, two polyethylene tubes, a piece of plywood for small parts.

The torso of the bird is made from one whole tire, the second is used partially for the manufacture of the tail. Tubes are taken for the legs of a rooster.

To cut tires, use a hacksaw for metal or an electric saw. A sharply honed large knife will do. Wooden parts are easier to cut with a jigsaw. But it is much more convenient to use plastic instead of plywood.

Fasten everything with bolts and wire. Metal reinforcement is inserted into the legs so that the rod enters the ground at one end, and is attached to the hole in the tire with the other. Then the sculpture is not afraid of bad weather.

A do-it-yourself rooster made of wood is a task for a real master. You will need special knowledge and the ability to work with the instrument, to feel the material. It is very difficult for beginners to cope with such work. Even detailed master classes will not give you the opportunity to make a truly beautiful product the first time out of wood without certain skills. A plastic bottle is an easy-to-work and simple material. Even children can be involved in creative work.

Attention, only TODAY!
