Crafts from cocktail tubules

Vase with flower

A vase made of straw can be made as a beautiful decor for a children's room or on a gift to a grandmother or godmother for any holiday. The child will certainly like this task, because it is not difficult to make a vase, and the result will in any case please.

1. In order for the vase to be more stable, cut the tubes in half, fasten them with elastic bands and glue the base of the vase onto a disposable plate or postcard.
2. We decorate the bowl with bows or any other decor and proceed to make a flower for our vase.
3. Cut the tubes into small pieces of 2-3 cm. A large flower will consist of small inflorescences, which are made by cutting a half of the tube into a "fringe". We put several tubes in each other and attach such inflorescence to the plasticine ball. The more inflorescences a flower has, the more magnificent it looks.
4. We put our flower in the vase - the composition is ready!

Christmas tree toy

The Christmas tree toy from the cocktail tubes looks much simpler than the decorations bought in the store, but such handmade articles made by the child will take an honorable place on your holiday tree.

1. To begin with, we cut the tubes into 8 pieces of 4 cm and 4 pieces of 5 cm.
2. We connect 4 pieces of 4 cm with a thread with a needle, fix it with a knot, but do not break the thread.
3. We put on the thread 2 more pieces of 5 cm and stretch the thread to one side of the square.
4. We make similar triangles on all sides of the square, attaching the 2 sides of the triangle to one of the sides of the square.
5. We take two vertices of the triangle and connect them together. To one vertex we attach a rope, for which the toy will be hung on the Christmas tree, on the other - a bell or bead.

Photo frame

The handmade in the form of a frame for a photo of multi-colored cocktail tubes is quite practical and original. It harmoniously fits into the interior of any children's room.

1. To begin with, we make the cardboard blank to the size of the photo, for which we will make a frame.
2. Cut the tubes into the same segments and measure the dimensions of the corners of the frame. Cut out several segments that are equal to the length of the corners.
3. We glue the segments to the carton blank with two-sided adhesive tape or glue.
4. We attach the favorite photo to the back of the frame - the frame is ready!

Bright decorations

All the girls like jewelry and jewelry. Make nice beads and a bracelet on your hand can be from the tubes for a cocktail. Such decorations are perfect for wearing in the summer, especially on the seashore. Your fashionista will look no worse than a mermaid.

1. We cut the tubes for a cocktail into segments of different lengths. You can make the beads symmetrical, then cut out 2 identical segments.
2. String pieces of tubes, alternating with beads, on a strong thread or line.
3. The more diverse are the tubes - in width, color, pattern - the more interesting you get beads.

Geometric figures

Thanks to the tubules of juice, you can play with the child in an entertaining geometry. With the help of original and simple artifacts, the child can easily remember the new names of geometric figures and will spend interesting time.

1. First, let's try to make a pyramid. To do this, you need to fold the short part of the tube along and insert it into the long part of the tube. We fasten two triangles in two places with the help of transparent scotch tape. In the same way, we attach the third and fourth triangles to them. A regular triangular pyramid consisting of 4 triangles is called a tetrahedron.
2. In the same way, you can add other regular geometric shapes: square, pentagon, etc.
3. Of six squares, you can fold a hexahedron.
4. Eight regular triangles create an octahedron.
5. From the twelve pentagons we obtain a dodecahedron.
6. Twenty triangles, held together, are called the icosahedron.
