DIY glass painting for beginners and experienced decorators. Master class "onion man" How to paint disposable cups

What do you think about plastic cups, well, except that plastic does not decompose and pollute the planet?
Have you ever wondered what a plastic cup can be useful for?

Perhaps, let's start with the simplest and most functional device - a bucket for pencils, pens, felt-tip pens and other stationery that you can make yourself. Of course, you can just take your necessary accessories and just put them in a coffee cup, but this is not interesting and not at all aesthetically pleasing!

You can make a real masterpiece, for example, if you paint it or make a handle out of wire, you get a small bucket.

In order to emphasize the originality of the idea, you can make a “handrail” above the desk, and here there is also room for imagination, you can use, for example, the remains of a baguette for curtains, with rings and fasteners - everything will be appropriate. Although, it would be quite appropriate to use hooks, with your own hands, bent from wire or purchased at hardware stores.
For a bucket, it is better to use plastic or paper coffee cups, since they have special rims on the edge and voluminous stripes - everything is like in a real iron bucket. For greater originality, the cups can be painted with a primer, after it dries, each of the vessels can be signed with chalk, depending on the contents, for example: pens, pencils, felt-tip pens, brushes, paper clips, etc. In the photo below, another example of the use of such buckets, by the way, will be very good if, on your birthday, you are given mainly money.
But let's get back to the cups as a pencil holder, which you can do with your own hands. The option is more complicated than the previous one, but also quite simple - decorate a cup with rolled paper, old, unnecessary pencils, twigs from a tree, halves of clothespins and anything else.
In order for you to get such a decor for a cup, you will need wrapping paper of several colors. You need to cut the paper into equal strips, twist them into tubes and stick them on the cup, then select the ribbon and finish the decor with it.
In this case, it is not necessary to glue the pencils, it will be enough to tie them tightly, such a glass will look very interesting if you arrange the pencils according to the colors of the rainbow.
Such a cup is made using the decoupage technique, if you don’t know how and don’t want to do this, you just need to pick up the main paper, paste over the cup and separately purchase other decor components, butterflies, flowers, petals, letters, etc. And now let's talk a little about more serious structures from plastic cups, let's take a closer look.
Such a wall, decorated with your own hands, looks more than original, you must agree! Although, of course, the option is not for an apartment, rather for a garage or workshop, because the cups are quite functional.
And such a screen, doesn’t it make you smile? The cups are inserted into the mesh - chain-link, after which they are painted with a spray can. By the way, it is not necessary to do this only with your own hands, ask the children, they will be happy to help you. It is not difficult at all, and the result cannot but rejoice. Well, if you are familiar with electricity, then all the cards are in your hands. Try to repeat the decor items that have already become masterpieces.

There is nothing difficult. Well, you still do not see any benefit from plastic cups? Of course, they harm the environment, but since they are still being produced, why not throw them away, but use them for such miracles?
Perhaps you have already made something out of plastic cups with your own hands, tell us about it!?

But in the apartment you should not spray the paint, because it has a strong smell and disappears for a long time.

5 painting techniques

All types of painting can be conditionally divided into several techniques. Two of them are the main ones: this is the application of paint from the inside of the bottle and from the outside. Each method has its own disadvantages and advantages. For example, painting from the inside makes it possible to achieve a beautiful glow from the inside, but limits the combination of colors and textures. And surface coloring gives full rein to your imagination: here you can use stencils, make gradient color transitions, create textures. Choose the technique that you like.

Teznika No. 1: We paint the bottle from the inside with acrylic

In order to paint a bottle for decoration from the inside with acrylic paint, you will need:

Syringe.
Acrylic paint.
Liquid for dissolving paint.
Unnecessary capacity.

Using a syringe, we inject the paint into the bottle and evenly distribute it along the walls

Before proceeding with staining, you need to wash and dry the bottle well. In order for the tone of the paint to turn out to be uniform, and there were no streaks when painting, the paint must be poured into a container and mixed well.
Then you need to draw paint into the syringe, insert it into the neck of the bottle and squeeze it inward.
Now you need to slowly rotate the bottle so that the paint covers the walls and bottom over the entire area. In order for the excess paint to drain, you need to put the bottle upside down for a while.

We turn the bottles over and let the excess paint drain

If you paint the outside of the bottle, it can be easily cleaned with a solvent.

Bottles painted with acrylic can be used as original vases, besides, they do not lose the beautiful reflection of the glass, enlightening the bottom.

Technique #2: Coating the outside

Coating the paint on the outside gives a lot of possibilities, for example, to create beautiful stripes or other stencil patterns on the surface.

Painting with electrical tape

In order to paint the outside of the bottle, you will need:

Paint (acrylic or water-based).
Degreaser (any alcohol solution can be used for this).
Brush or sponge.
Newspaper.

Process:

To begin with, the bottle must be washed well, cleaned of paper labels and dried.
Then we degrease with an alcohol solution, if this is not done, the paint simply will not hold.
Now you can start painting using a brush or sponge, in any case, you need to start from the bottom.
We put the bottle upside down and leave to dry. After the paint dries, turn over and finish painting the top of the bottle.

Technique #3: How to spray paint

This method is the easiest and fastest, but it is recommended to use it outdoors.

Gradient spray paint

Paint can.
Alcohol based solution.
Newspaper.

Before painting, the bottle must be washed well, labels and traces of glue must be removed from them. Then they need to be dried and treated with a degreaser. The bottle must be placed on the newspaper and at a distance of 30 cm, start spraying paint on it.

The principle of coloring: the darkest tone is applied first, and then lighter shades are applied on top of it.

If one layer is not enough, the procedure must be repeated. When painting bottles with spray paint, you can use various stencils or adhesive tape, resulting in unique, original patterns. Bottles painted in delicate light colors in combination with gold or silver paint look very impressive.

Disposable food packaging is indispensable in everyday life. Especially the glasses. They used to be made from plastic, but now many companies are making easy-to-recycle, non-polluting environment paper cups. One of the companies actively producing such products is the Finnish company Huhtamaki.

Huhtamaki paper cups can be used not only for their intended purpose, but also to make various crafts from them. This exciting activity is enjoyed by all children and their creative parents. There is nothing complicated in the production of such crafts, and raw materials for them can be found without problems. After all, in Russia the concern opened several branches for the production of disposable tableware, in particular, Huhtamaki Food Service Alabuga.

What can be made from cups

Bought for pennies paper cups, you and your baby can make whatever you want out of them:

animals;
birds;
fairy tale characters, etc.

Snowman from disposable tableware

Most crafts from cups relevant as home decoration during the holidays. For example, when preparing for the New Year, you can make a snowman out of them. To do this, according to our "recipe", you will need about 300 paper cups. It is desirable that they have a narrow rim - this will facilitate the process of connecting parts.

The snowman must be made from the bottom, laying out the cups in a circle and fastening them with a stapler. To make the base of the craft as stable as possible, give it the appearance of a hemisphere. The second snowball of cups should be smaller than the first and more round. Make it so that it easily connects to the bottom.

Having fastened two balls together, they should be decorated, finally turning into a snowman. Make eyes and a carrot nose out of paper, and then glue them to the top ball. Also don't forget your hat. To hide the joints of the two balls, you can tie a piece of fabric there like a scarf.

We make a Christmas tree

From paper cups that produces Huhtamaki Russia, you can make a Christmas tree. To do this, pick up several large and small products to alternate them with each other.

First of all, you need to cut out several circles of different diameters from cardboard and glue them, laying them on top of each other with a pyramid. The base of such a pyramid will be the bottom of the stand, and the smallest circle in diameter will be the top. The base can be made green, but it is better to paint it in a color different from the color of the Christmas tree. Also, do not forget to glue a wooden stick or a thin cardboard tube to it - we will string cups on it.

Having dealt with the base, paint 7-9 cups with green watercolor paint. When the paint dries, several vertical cuts should be made on each of them so that the edges of the product resemble Christmas tree needles. Make a small hole in the bottoms of the glasses, corresponding to the diameter of the stick. Put the glasses on it and fix it with glue.

To make the top of the Christmas tree beautiful, make it out of green paper folded into a small cone.

Create a fairy

Using the paper cups that Huhtamaki Foodservice, for Christmas or another holiday, you and your child can make a little fairy. In addition to the glass, you will need other simple materials:

Take a cup and paint it orange and a styrofoam ball pink. When the watercolor is dry, glue the balloon onto the upside down glass.

Cut out the handles from the pieces of styrofoam and attach them to the cup body with glue. Now shape the ball, giving it the appearance of a face. To do this, glue two small buttons to it, acting as eyes. To complete the image of a fairy from a piece of fabric, you need to make a scarf for her, and tie a small ribbon on the cup in the form of a belt.

Practical craft: napkin holder

Paper disposable tableware can be useful for creating crafts not only on holidays. A child can, for example, with your help, make a napkin holder out of paper cups, which will decorate his desktop.

Making a napkin holder is easy. You need to take 2 glasses. In one of them, cut off about 5-6 centimeters from the bottom. This will be the stand. Insert the other cup into the first one (from the side of the bottom). The result is something like a vase. For reliability, it is worth applying glue to the places where the cups touch.

To make the napkin holder look stylish, cutlery you need to paint with watercolor paint, stick various applications on them. When the paint is dry, you can fold into ready product napkins and put cups on the table.

duckling family

Store-bought toys make babies happy. But they are much more pleasant to create different characters with their own hands. To give an outlet to the creative energy of your child, make a family of ducklings with him. To do this, you will need all the same paper cups, glue, scissors and other simple tools that are in every home.

To create a mother duck, take two cups painted white. Ducklings are made from smaller cups and not white, but yellow. While your colored cups are drying, take orange paper and cut out a rectangle about 8 x 4 cm. Fold it across and cut off the top edges so that the paper resembles a semicircular duck's beak. Make paws and wings from paper rectangles measuring 3 x 6 cm, giving them the appropriate look and shape. A small hole needs to be made in each wing and paw with an awl.

Taking a glass, make small cuts in the places where the beak and wings will be attached. Then insert paper blanks there and connect them from the middle of the cup with a thread, threading it through the holes in the paper. The upper part of the duck is ready. Then take the second cup and attach paws to it. After that, it remains only to connect the two glasses together by inserting the lower one (with paws) into the upper one. For reliability, lubricate the joints with glue. Similarly, the entire duck family is assembled from individual parts.

The middle of winter is the time to think about vitamins. I propose to grow green onion on the windowsill, but not in ordinary cups, but decorated with cheerful faces. Children can also be involved in this activity - then they will watch with interest how the onion grows, and then they will eat it willingly.

How to make a snowman out of plastic cups: step by step instructions

Work should begin with the formation of the body of a snowman. Depending on the size of the craft you want to end up with, take the required number of white cups and connect them in a circle with a stapler or glue gun. Make several rows in this way. Remember that in each subsequent row you need to decrease one glass, otherwise you will not get the perfect ball shape.
Immediately we make buttons. How to do? We make a snowman from plastic cups in the same style. In the fourth row, exactly in the middle, you need to attach one blue glass, then do this through the row until a ball is formed.
Make a belt for the snowman. To do this, take the red cups and connect them to each other.
In a similar technique, make two balls. Of course, the second should be slightly smaller in diameter than the first. Connect the balls to each other by placing cardboard inside. So the design will become more stable.
Make a third ball. This will be the head of the snowman. Don't forget to make eyes, mouth and nose out of colored cups and colored paper. Here, fantasy will already tell you how it would be better to do this.
What is a snowman without a hat? We will not leave our craft without a headdress either, we will take a children's bucket and glue it to the head. Above - tinsel.
We tie a scarf.

Follow detailed instructions and no more thinking about how to make a snowman out of plastic cups. The master class will help you cope with the task.

Making a snowman is easy

It seemed to you that making a snowman is a time-consuming process? It's not like that at all. For a successful enterprise, it is enough to stock up on the right amount of improvised material and the desire to make interesting toy, which will delight both children and adults with its funny look. Know that the financial costs of creating such crafts are extremely small. To make a funny snowman, even a very large one, you don’t need so much money.

The craft will look more interesting and advantageous if you place a Christmas tree garland or LED cord inside it. Then install the snowman should be near the outlet. Do not place light bulbs inside the toy, as they get very hot during operation and can melt plastic cups.

The quality of the source material also plays an important role, because even fairly minor defects or differences can nullify all your efforts. That is why it is important to purchase plastic cups from the same batch and in the same point of sale. Do not buy disposable tableware with rims, as it will be difficult for you to avoid large seams between rows. And this means that the spherical shape of the elements is unlikely to be achieved. Don't be afraid to stock up on a few more cups than originally planned. After all, some of them may be defective.

How to make a plastic cup snowman more stable? To make the snowman stand firmly on the floor or other surface, stick it with double-sided tape.

Design options

You can decorate the toy as you like, but it cannot do without eyes and a nose in any case. If you do not have colored cups, do not despair. For the eyes, you can use colored paper, cardboard, tennis balls, and for the nose - plasticine, a cone of colored paper. Don't have a bucket to cover the snowman's head? Put on a knitted cap, this will make the toy look even more original. Usually the torso of a snowman is decorated with "buttons". It can be, for example, tennis balls and even. Perhaps, after reading this article, you will no longer wonder how to make a snowman out of plastic cups with your own hands, and decide to try your hand.

DIY snowman from plastic cups

Materials: plastic cups, stapler, felt, hat and scarf.

1. Let's build the first level of a snowman from plastic cups - this is the middle layer of the ball. The number of cups depends on the desired size of the snowman. We fasten the cups together with a stapler.

2. We build the next layer in a checkerboard pattern, distributing the cups, fastening them with a stapler and to each other in the second level and with the first level of cups.

3. We continue to build levels until a closed ball is formed. Half is ready.

4. Turn over the hemisphere (as in the photo) and continue to build levels until you get a ball.

5. We make the second ball from plastic cups of other sizes. We take into account that the large ball is the body and the smaller one is the head of the snowman. From here we calculate the number of cups for the average main level (either more or less than for the previous ball). We create the second ball entirely.

6. Decoration to your taste. Cut out eyes, nose, buttons from felt. We attach them to the snowman with a stapler or glue. The top hat or hat, scarf and snowman are ready.

Christmas trees from plastic cups

Creating a Christmas tree from plastic cups or coffee paper cups follows the same principle as creating a snowman. See detailed photo and video above.
However, the layers of the cups are not bonded to the bottom or top row paper cups with a stapler. One tier is stapled together only with a stapler. Creating this Christmas tree is a long and painstaking and costly process. Since one tier consists of many cups, it is not empty inside, but consists of cups fastened together and, ultimately, is attached to the frame. And so every row.
