But if you have patience and at least basic skills, then you can succeed. In this publication, we decided to tell you about what kind of cockerel crafts you can make for the New Year from plastic bottles.
What types of cockerels can be made from a plastic bottle?
The first option is a cockerel.
This cockerel is one of the most simple crafts. To make it, you should use several plastic bottles of various colors. If you have bottles at home that are all the same color, then you simply paint them with acrylic paints. Before painting the bottle, you need to wash it well and remove labels. In this case, the paint will be able to lie evenly on the product.
Turn the painted bottle upside down. Place the bottle neck on a stick or any rod. Using a marker, make markings that will indicate the location of the scallop and wings.
Now take an empty shampoo bottle. You should cut out the rooster's beak from it and glue it to the bottle.
From other plastic bottles, cut out: tail feathers, comb, wings.
Apply glue to the bottle itself and secure the individual parts of the cockerel to the bottle.
Attach the tail to the bottle with a stapler or self-tapping screws.
And for the craft to turn out beautiful, your tail must be bushy.
The second option is a cockerel.
Making a rooster from a plastic bottle with your own hands can be done in another way. This craft option is a little more difficult to make. And all because the wings and tail of this rooster will consist of a huge number of fringed feathers.
The third option for making a rooster.
The next rooster craft should also be made from plastic bottles. However, in this case you will need a lot plastic containers. And in this case you will have to work hard.
They begin to create this craft by making two holes in a large bottle that are needed for the legs. Then make a cut in the part opposite the side with the holes.
The tube should be bent, threaded and secured.
It’s worth making a cockerel’s toes from a couple of plastic bottles. For this purpose, it is necessary to cut off the expanding part from the bottle and cut out three fingers for the rooster from it. In this case, each finger must be made sharp.
Put corrugated tubes on your feet, and then you must secure the prepared paws.
In order to make the head you need to use a piece of foam plastic, which needs to be painted.
To feather a rooster, you need to use a lot of plastic bottles. Moreover, each bottle should be cut into separate feathers.
To create tail feathers, bottles that have a capacity of 2.5 liters are used. They are cut into 5-7 parts. The bottle should be cut from the neck to the end. While working, focus on the raised protrusions. It is important to say that you need to use very sharp scissors when working.
To simplify the work of making the plumage, you need to cut the bottle lengthwise. Remove the bottom and neck from the bottle. Then cut out triangles or semicircles on the lower half of the plastic rectangle. As a result, you will get a row of feathers, which can be very easily screwed to the body with self-tapping screws or plastic glue. The work is carried out from the bottom up. Cover the entire part of the rooster in this way.
For the wings, oval sheets are cut from a plastic bottle. Attach feathers to them.

Materials and tools
How to make a Petrunya craft from plastic bottles with your own hands? Step-by-step instructions for adults and children.
To make this craft we will need the following tools:
Let's start making a rooster from a canister:
6) Move the top of the canister about 3 cm.
7) We bend the metal-plastic pipe (shape the legs), in my case, the rooster is walking, and attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
8) For the neck, from 5 l. bottles, fold the envelope, attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
9) From 1.5 liter bottles we cut out two “thighs”, which we attach to the canister with self-tapping screws.
For feathers we used 1.5 liter bottles. Cut off the long neck, cut the bottle into 5 feathers (we are guided by the protrusions on the bottom of the bottle), 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.
3) Attach the finished legs back to the canister.
4) 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.
Then the body is painted spray paint(in our case, red).
After painting the body, we cut out the head from foam plastic; it is better to use a stationery knife for cutting. We also paint her head. If the process of cutting out the head seems difficult to you, you can cut it out in separate parts and then glue it together with glue.
With the help furniture stapler and staples (you can use 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
We paint it with paint, let it dry well and attach it to the body using self-tapping screws and washers. Bend the mesh for attaching the tail
.
Let's start making the tail.

A rooster made from plastic bottles is considered a difficult craft, because it requires the ability to work with absolutely different materials, use different instruments. The list of everything that will be needed for it turns out to be very large, which is why many do not take on this work and in vain. You can also find simpler options; it’s always better to start with the simple, gradually moving on to the complex.
We offer you to look at two options on how to make a rooster from plastic bottles. First the simplest option.
A small cockerel made from one plastic bottle
To make such a cheerful rooster you will need one large bottle and very few bottles of different colors. Or you can take the same ones and paint them with acrylic paints.
Take a 2-2.5 liter bottle and wash it thoroughly so that there are no traces of the label or any dirt left. Place the bottle on a stick to make it easier for you to work with. Use a marker to mark the holes for the wings, beak and comb on the bottle. The material for the beak will be a shampoo bottle, cut it out and attach it to the base. Paint eyes on the lids, glue them to the base or attach fittings. From the remaining bottles we cut out feathers for the tail, wings and comb. Attach all the parts with glue; the tail can be secured with a stapler or self-tapping screw. As a decoration, you can make fringe on the wings and feathers in the tail. And to prevent it from deteriorating from precipitation and dirt, you can coat it with yacht varnish. It will become much stronger and more interesting.
And now you can make the option a little more complicated.
Rooster made from plastic bottles
To make such a cockerel you will need more old bottles. Its design is attached to self-tapping screws, so you will need a strong base in the form of a plastic canister. A five-liter canister will be the body, holes for the legs will be cut in it. Make a slot on the side opposite the holes. Bend a metal-plastic tube and insert it into the holes for the legs, securing it with self-tapping screws for stability. From a couple of plastic bottles, cut out pointed toes, three for each. Put the corrugation on your legs and secure the paws.
Another couple of one and a half liter bottles serve as material for the rooster's thighs; you need to cut off the necks and thread the corrugations into them.
The head is cut out of foam plastic, rubbed with sandpaper and covered acrylic primer. Then it is sanded again and painted with paints. A six-liter bottle will be useful for the neck. We cut off a rectangle and wrap it with a collar, which will be connected to the body with the help of self-tapping screws.
Feathers also need to be made from bottles; you will need a lot of them. For the tail feathers you will need the most big bottles, at least 2.5-liter. In such work, the main thing is that the scissors are not dull, otherwise you will have to cut the plastic for a long time and painfully. There are more easy way plumage cutting. For it you only need to make longitudinal cuts, remove the bottom and neck first. Cut out semicircular or triangular shapes from below to create a finished row of feathers. You will need to attach the feathers both with glue and with self-tapping screws; we will go from the bottom so that the joints of the fasteners are not visible. Cover the entire cockerel with feathers, except the tail, to prevent it from freezing in winter. All that remains is to cut out the wings and attach the feathers to them and our craft is ready!
