But also using plastic covers from them.

Of absolutely waste material you can create a simulator for the development of fine motor skills, organize board game, create original wall clocks and panels, make flat and voluminous toys. Do you still throw away plastic caps?

Figurines of animals, insects from plastic covers

With younger children school age you can do a mixed application: glue several covers to cardboard and fantasize about their decor. They make wonderful birds, pets, wild animals, fish, insects.

If you string plastic covers on a fishing line, thread or wire, like beads, you can make volumetric figures of animals and insects. Now they are already able to move and it becomes interesting to play with them.

Flowers from plastic lids

Bright covers from plastic bottles can turn into a core magic flower. Similarly, glue them to the cardboard and decorate. If you glue not only the plastic cap itself, but also the neck of the bottle, then you can hide some secret for the child inside. For example, a butterfly or a bee. Then it will be interesting for him to “work” with such objects.

Pictures from plastic covers

If there are several bags of plastic covers, then it is worth moving on to large-scale art projects and installations. Lids can be glued and nailed. The main thing, as always, lies in the brilliant idea.

Flat men made of plastic caps

Similar to making simple animal figurines, silhouettes of various characters and flat puppets can be made from lids. We fantasize and stick them on a base made of cardboard or thick fabric, decorate and enjoy the result!

They will add originality to the picture, make it voluminous and interesting with details from caps that match in color. These can be elements of the face, buttons on the suit, flowers, balls and much more. For example, like this funny clown!

Transforming robots made of plastic caps

It turns out that it is easy and simple to please your boys with a creative robot. To do this, we string the covers on a wire base and assemble all the parts together. Now our robot can move, you can attach to it different types weapons, wheels or even a car, antennas, use unusual or very ordinary tubes, boxes and cans in its design.

Transport based on plastic caps

Traffic can be extensive and stationary if you choose to render traffic on large format paper or cardboard. For such a project, you will need: find a base from a large box, select the necessary decorations and cut them out of magazines and newspapers, draw the necessary objects yourself, glue everything on the base, and then do the lid craft. To do this, we take a variety of lids: small ones from juices, medium ones from mineral water, large ones from canisters and five-liter plastic jars. For business!

Spending time playing with such a "simulator", the baby will not voluntarily train his fingers, opening and closing the lids, looking for a second picture under them.

Please note that the caps can be not only the core of a flower or the wheels of a car, but also be a door or a window that hides interesting details and photographs.

Fantastic cars can be made from improvised materials. Almost everything is suitable for this: a toilet paper roller, a yogurt jar, other containers, canisters, cardboard boxes for dairy products.

Other lid items

Indeed, there is no limit to human imagination! It turns out that you can create stylish watches from plastic covers, organize a game of checkers, make toy musical instruments, sweets, and even decorate a children's kitchen for games.

Empty cake boxes are used by everyone. Who mercilessly throws them out right away, who grow seedlings in them, at our place, at work, cleaners store them detergents: soda, powder, which are issued for washing the school, and can also be used during repairs, as handy tool. But today I decided to use this item for other purposes, taking a simple box to fulfill a noble mission.

frame

To make the frame, I needed a lid from a cake box, linen twine and a glue gun. Before starting work, the surface of the cake dish was treated with alcohol, trying to remove all stains.

The protruding part of the bottom of the box will be the window of the future frame, I fill the rest of the part from the ledge to the end with twine.

I apply glue so that the coils of twine are glued not only to each other, but also glued to the base.

When laying the turns, I try to apply a strip of hot glue in small areas, because it quickly hardens in air.

Having laid the coils of twine to the end of the box, I cut off the excess.

For the substrate, I chose a light base - interlining.

I draw in the form of a blank-frame and cut out a circle.

To design the work, I took this embroidery sample, which I had lain for about a year. At that time, I bought an embroidery machine and tried to embroider some drawings, it was interesting how it would turn out. I put the finished samples in my daddy and now they are waiting in the wings. Let's consider that this picture is lucky for today.

I put the finished circle of interlining on the embroidery, combining the centers of both. I cut off the excess and glue both fabrics along the edges.

I combine the frame blank with embroidery and glue it in a circle in several places. If excess fabric protrudes beyond the frame, then they will need to be trimmed immediately.

Once again I glue the edges, slightly pulling on the embroidery. I mark the place where the loop will be on the frame. I continue to lay coils of twine, carefully turn to the wrong side, not forgetting to make the loop itself. View from the wrong side of my picture. Non-woven fabric is better to duplicate with cardboard

That's what I did. Of course, you can leave it in this version, but you can dream up. I added butterflies from a napkin, which I previously glued onto the fabric with PVA and cut out, and then planted on the frame.

Making a gift even more pleasant is quite simple: it needs to be beautifully packaged without damaging it. As a rule, there is nothing more practical than cardboard boxes. But even such a boring attribute of a surprise can be interestingly beaten. And for this you just need to do round box from cardboard with their own hands.

Round cardboard boxes or hat boxes are not only original packaging for gifts or confectionery, but also a very practical way to store:

• scraps of fabric, thread, needles;
• beads, beads;
• memorabilia;
• decorations;
• hats and other items of clothing.

Such boxes look very cute, regardless of size, and making them is no more difficult than rectangular models. The main thing is to choose the right cardboard.

How to choose cardboard?

To choose cardboard for round boxes, you need to consider the basic principle: the material must be well bendable. Therefore, dense double cardboard, in which household appliances are packed, is definitely not suitable. It is best to take thick paper or packaging cardboard for cakes - it will not be difficult to make crafts from such material and you can be sure that there will be no ugly folds on it. Also suitable:

• cardboard for children's creativity;
• photo paper for the printer;
• poster cardboard;
• coated or uncoated paper;
• design cardboard.

Whichever option you choose, keep in mind that the density of the material should be from 180 to 250 g / m2.

How to make a round cardboard box with your own hands?

For a round box (for example, under stationery), you can take colored drawing paper.

Materials:

• whatman;
• ruler, pencil;
• PVA glue;
• markers.

Instruction:

We draw a rectangle of the desired height and width on the Whatman paper.

On one of the long sides, set aside an allowance of 3 cm.

We divide the length of the allowance by an integer, draw perpendiculars.

In each resulting rectangle, draw an isosceles triangle.

We cut out the blank, paint it with felt-tip pens, fold it around and glue the sidewalls.

On the paper draw 2 circles equal to the circle of the blank cylinder.

Cut out the circles.

Glue the triangles to one of the circles from the outside.

With the second circle, planted on double-sided tape, we seal the bottom with seams. The box for pens and pencils is ready.

Mastering gift box with a lid: a master class with a diagram

If you want to make a round box with an unusual pattern, use patterns from the Internet for this. Print the drawing you like on a sheet of design cardboard, cut out the details and glue them. If you don't want to use ready template, you can do it differently.

Materials:

• photo paper for the printer;
• stationery scissors;
• ruler, pencil;
• PVA glue;
• double sided tape.

Instruction:

We print any drawing on 2 sheets (it is better to take an abstraction).

Draw a rectangle on one sheet, add an allowance of 2.5 cm to one of the long sides.

Divide the allowance by an integer and cut to the base line.

Cut off small corners of each rectangle. We glue the sides.

On the second sheet, we also draw a rectangle, the length of which is 0.7 cm longer than the first, and the height is equal to the desired height of the lid.

On one side, we also make an allowance and repeat steps 3-4.

We measure the length of 2 circles and make 2 blank circles for each part.

We apply the circle to the base, bring the triangles out and glue them.

We close the seams with the second circle, gluing it on double-sided tape to the first.

For the lid, repeat steps 8-9. The box with the lid is ready.

Festive cake packaging

A cake box should be not only beautiful, but also durable. This nuance should be followed when making a round "house" for a confectionery product.

Materials:

• poster cardboard;
• stationery scissors;
• compass;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• PVA glue or "Moment";
• fabric in 2 companion colors.

Instruction:

On cardboard, draw a circle of the desired diameter, cut it out.

Draw a rectangle whose height will be the height of the box.

We make an allowance of 4 cm to one of the sides of the rectangle. Cut out the detail.

We cut the allowance in several places and glue it to the circle.

We draw a circle, the diameter of which will be 1.5 cm less than the first. Cut out.

We cover the resulting circle with a cloth, glue it on the back side.

We glue the bottom into the base blank.

Repeat steps 1-4 for the box lid.

From cardboard cut out a rectangle about 8 cm high, equal to the diameter of the base plus 2 cm.

We glue the side parts of the resulting strip.

We glue the strip into the base so that about 5 cm protrudes outward. A cover will be put on this ledge.

Let's start decorating the box. We make circles from the fabric a few centimeters larger than the circumferences of the bottom and lid.

We cut the edges of the fabric circles, glue them to the bases.

We cut out rectangles from the fabric, with which we fit the outer and inner sides of the circle.

To hide the joint of the fabric from the outside, you can make a small fold. The cake box is ready.

Decorating round boxes

In addition to pattern and fabric, round boxes can be decorated with almost any decorative elements:

• sequins, rhinestones, beads (especially if the cardboard is covered with fabric);
• applications;
• lace;
• ribbons;
• fabric flowers, bows, etc.

Also, the box can be made in the style of scrapbooking, giving it a look of noble antiquity, or supplemented with an element of quilling, origami, so that the decoration is voluminous. It is better to fix such parts with silicone glue.
