In almost every house there are empty plastic bottles for beer, as well as sweet and mineral water. What can be done with this container?
In this review, the author offers the idea of how to use empty plastic bottles for making home wicker furniture.
In order to cut the bottles into strips of the required width, the master uses a homemade bottle cutter. How to make such a device can be read in this article.
As an "experimental" the author uses an old-style wooden chair. From it you will need to remove the seat and back.
The main stages of work
In order to make a braid for a chair, the author cuts strips 12 mm wide. In principle, the width of the stripes can be different - at your discretion.
After the strips are cut, you can begin to restore the old chair. Pull the stripes on the back and seat. The edges of the strips are fixed with brackets.
First we fasten the strips along, then across. In order for the film to be well stretched, it will be necessary to heat it with a building hair dryer - make heat shrink.
In this way, you can give a second life to the old chair and use old plastic bottles with benefit.
The detailed process of making strips from bottles, as well as the nuances of weaving the seat and backrest for a chair - see the video.
