Hello, friends! I have already introduced you to the craftswoman Svetlana Kuleva, who makes. And today I would like to introduce you to an equally talented reader of my site - Olga Pivneva, who prepared a master class on making birch trees from plastic bottles.
I give the floor to Olga:
Festive birch tree made from plastic bottles
We will need:
— 4 green plastic bottles;
- thin wire;
- scissors;
- sewing needle;
- stick (25 cm long);
- PVA glue;
- glue "Titan";
- toilet paper;
- gouache paints (white, black, blue and green flowers);
- brush;
- alabaster (construction plaster);
- plastic tray;
- buttons;
- sequins;
- narrow satin ribbons of different colors;
- gel pencils;
- corrugated paper;
- green and brown beads.
Stages of making crafts from plastic bottles:
Cut leaves (1.5x2 cm) from green plastic bottles. There are 100-150 leaves.
Lightly burn the leaves over a burning candle (do this very quickly.) Using a sewing needle, make holes on one edge of the leaf.
Collect twigs.
Make 17-19 such branches. The more, the more magnificent the birch tree will be.
Connect the branches two at a time and attach (wrap) them to a stick.
Starting from the top, glue the attached branches toilet paper using PVA glue.
Paint the trunk with white gouache paint.
Start making the base on which the birch tree will “grow”. Take alabaster (construction plaster), apply a solution (1:1 with water). Pour the solution into the base.
Let’s make a “pond” (immediately!). Place a small metal plate on a plastic bag and place a stone in it. Let the solution dry.
Paint the inside of the “pond” with blue gouache paint. The remaining surface is green.
Proceed with the design of the “pond”. Place sequins (stars), shells, and pebbles on the bottom. Fill with Titan glue. Then (after 3-4 minutes) install the grass and “reeds”. Make reeds from beads. Let the glue dry in the “pond” (for 24 hours). Decorate the surface of the “pond”: using sequins (leaves) and buttons, make flowers. Color the flowers with gel pencils. Under the tree from corrugated paper make weed.
Tie narrow satin ribbons of different colors on the branches of the birch tree.
The birch is ready for the holiday - the Holy Trinity.
Similarly, you can make a birch tree using sequin leaves (they can be purchased at the store).
The master class was prepared by Olga Pivneva, Gryazovets
Thank you very much, Olga for the master class! Olga participates with a craft made from plastic bottles in a competition that takes place in her city and is dedicated to the Trinity Day. Let's wish her good luck!

The birch tree has been considered a symbol of Russia for a long time. It is hardly possible to imagine a Russian field without a white birch tree, or a Russian forest without a birch grove. The word "birch" means "to protect." Bereginya is a pagan deity among the ancient Slavs, who was considered the mother of all spirits; she was precisely represented in the image of a birch tree. At first, the birch was considered a symbol of fertility and health, a symbol of rebirth and purity, and then they began to associate with feminine and girlish beauty. Artists admired the beauty of Russian birch, poets sang it in their poems, and composers composed songs about birch.
In many poems by Russian poets, birch evokes associations with small homeland, home, Russian outback.
I can't imagine Russia
Where are friends, relatives, father's house,
Without a birch tree, which is under the blue sky,
A soul that warms with warmth.
Victor Pozhivitin
There is a birch tree under my window, which evokes delight and admiration.
My birch tree is beautiful at any time of the year, but I wanted to make a birch tree, like in Sergei Yesenin’s poem.
White birch
White birch
Below my window
Covered with snow
Exactly silver
On fluffy branches
Snow border
The brushes have blossomed
White fringe.
And the birch tree stands
In sleepy silence,
And the snowflakes are burning
In golden fire.
And the dawn is lazy
Walking around
Sprinkles branches
New silver.
My desire to make a winter birch was confirmed by the lines of a poem by Viktor Vinogradov.
I saw a miracle today!
I assure you there is nothing like it:
Birches are dressed up everywhere
In lace of silver coins.
Like girls in ball gowns,
Raising the floors in a round dance.
They played with lace like tambourines
Their trunks are silvery.
To make wood we will need: wire for beading (copper) with a diameter of 0.3 mm, aluminum wire 4 mm2 (for the trunk) and 2.5 mm2 (for branches), wire cutters, mother-of-pearl plastic beads 3 mm, round sequins of silver color, sequins (snowflakes) of silver color, silver beads No. 10, white floral ribbon, alabaster (construction plaster), glass stand.
Step by step description process of making winter birch
To make a tree from sequins, you need to cut 55 cm long wire in the amount of 60 pieces for the top of the tree.
We string a sequin (snowflake) with a bead onto the wire.
We stretch the wire through the middle of the sequin.
Use a bead to secure the sequin to the wire.
Alternate a snowflake with a round sequin.
It turns out like this branch, 15 - 20 cm long. We secure the end of each branch with a bead.
Branches can be made different ways.
Then we collect the branches together. The result is the top of a tree.
Secure with floral tape.
To stiffen the barrel, insert a 4 mm2 wire into the middle.
We begin making branches.
Cut the wire for branches. Branches may be different lengths from 15 cm to 25 cm to make the tree crown more lush and natural.
You can make the branch into a bunch.
Can be formed in small bunches of 4 - 5 branches.
We fasten the branches to 2.5 mm2 wire.
We form a branch by wrapping it with floral tape.
We form the crown of the tree by wrapping branches in different sides.
Next, we plant our tree in a pot, in plaster and decorate it as desired.
To make the tree beautiful and elegant, you need to straighten all the branches, lifting the top branches up, and make the side branches of the tree at different levels.
Place the tree in a well-lit place.
Your tree will turn out magical.
How not to fall in love at dawn
In the calm of the morning park?!
I haven't seen a gift yet -
Milenier than a birch tree in silver.
Birch tree made from plastic bottles will decorate any area, this Russian beauty will not leave anyone indifferent. Good afternoon Dear friends, today it is unlikely that you will greatly surprise anyone with crafts from waste material. But if the works are interesting and unique, then you will definitely like them. Today we will look at interesting master class on making birch trees from plastic bottles, the author of this master class is Nelya Ashakova. Nelya has already shared hers with us interesting ideas on decorating your site from plastic bottles and if you are interested, take a look. Making crafts from plastic bottles is not as difficult as it might seem to you at first glance, and you will definitely enjoy the work done. Working with bottles is easy, even a beginner can handle it. So let's grow a beautiful birch tree on our plot. After all, birch is considered one of the most beautiful trees on the planet. Using this master class, you can create other trees from bottles. Therefore, create and please your friends and family.
To make a birch tree we will need:
* Plastic bottles Green colour.
* Screwdriver.
* Scissors.
* Pliers.
* Wire.
* Marker.
* Shilo..
* Styrofoam.
* Dye.
* Glue.
Method of making birch:
First we need to make leaves for the birch tree. This is the most difficult and tedious task. We take a bottle and cut off its neck and bottom. We will use the middle to make leaves. Bottles that are flat and without any indentations are best suited. Leaves can be cut by eye or you can make templates according to which you can cut out the leaves.
In the middle of the bottle we draw or outline the leaves with a marker. It is best to make the leaves of different sizes, then the birch tree will turn out more lively and beautiful. Here you yourself look at the number of blanks, because each birch tree will turn out to be different in size. But first you need to make about 2 thousand leaves of different sizes. You can call the whole family to help and then you will cope with this task much faster. When you have made enough leaves, move on. You need to make veins on each leaf. Nelya made the veins with a screwdriver or scissors; we squeeze out the veins on each leaf. Next, use an awl to make a hole in each leaf. You can also lightly melt each leaf over a candle, then the leaf will look more natural and interesting. That's it, the leaves for making a birch tree are ready. This is the most important part of making our wood.
Next, we take a slightly thick wire and cut it into the pieces we need. We insert it into each leaf and twist it at the base. If you don’t twist it at the base, then the leaf will dangle in different directions. This is how the leaflet turned out.
We begin to collect leaves into a branch. We connect them in order and by size. Leaves that are smaller first, and larger ones later.
When all the branches are ready, we begin assembling our birch tree. We make a strong and reliable frame. It should preferably be heavy so that strong winds cannot move it. The barrel can be made from a plastic or iron pipe; here, see for yourself what you have available. We paint the trunk with white paint and wait until it dries, and then apply strokes black paint. We attach the finished branches to the main trunk. If the trunk is made of an iron pipe, then you can weld the branches (this will be more reliable).
We dig our beautiful birch tree into the right place. You can concrete it for strength))) Just look at what a beautiful birch tree Nelya made from ordinary plastic bottles.
You can also make snow on a birch tree. We take polystyrene foam, crumble it and sprinkle it on our beauty. Instead of glue, you can use paste. Here the snow on the birch tree is real and in my opinion it looks very beautiful.
That’s it, the birch tree made from plastic bottles is ready, we thank the author for the interesting and exciting master class on making it and we are waiting for new interesting ideas.
But we all know that every master does any work in his own way. Therefore, I want to offer you another fascinating master class on making birch trees with your own hands from bottles. The author of this master class is Safter Yeshilev. Safter also shared his works with us, and if you haven’t seen it, you can take a look. Let's start production.
To make a birch tree you will need:
* Plastic bottles.
* Marker.
* Scissors.
* Electrical cable.
* Plastic tubes.
* Dye.
Method for making birch from bottles:
Take a plastic bottle and cut off its neck and bottom. We will use the middle to make leaves. Bottles that are smooth and green in color are best. If you don’t have or have few green bottles, you can paint them. Draw leaves on the bottles using a marker, as shown in the photo.
Then, using an awl, we pierce each leaf at the base.
We insert a thin wire into the hole and twist it. We do this with all the leaves.
Your leaves should be of different sizes, so the birch tree will turn out more natural.
We insert the cut pieces of multi-core electrical cable into the tubes.
Tubes of different diameters fit into each other, and a hose is put on top.
We also make the top of our tree from electrical cables and tubes.
We put it on top.
Then we screw the leaves onto the cable in the required order and get a beautiful birch tree. The trunk needs to be painted with white and black paint like a birch tree.
The legend of the birch.
Finally, I would like to tell you one of the legends about the birch. It was a very, very long time ago. At that time, the Altai peoples lived in separate tribes and were mainly engaged in animal husbandry. Due to the lack of pastures, quarrels arose between the tribes, turning into war. One of the leaders of such a tribe had a daughter. Unlike their fellow tribesmen, girls with dark skin, she was light-skinned. “Pale-faced” - that’s what people called her around. The girl and her friends lived not far from the camp. According to custom, young men must steal a bride from such a “settlement” of girls. And only after this the girl, as a wife, returns to live in her camp. But one day, out of nowhere, enemies attacked the girls’ home. They knew that all the men of the camp had gone on another campaign to defend their native lands. The girls decided to defend their lives and honor themselves. The girls fought bravely with their enemies, many enemies laid down their heads. The enemies became furious and began to throw arrows at the girls. They only spared the pale-faced one.
Finally, all her friends died. And only she continued to destroy unexpected enemies. The enemies became even more angry than before and shot a hundred arrows at her at once. The pale-faced one, struck by them, fell. In the place where the girl fell, a beautiful white-trunked tree grew. And only where the enemy’s arrows hit did black marks gape. Kayancha was the girl’s name, which translated from Altai means “birch”.
In the Altai region there is a village called Kayancha, the beautiful mountain slopes in its vicinity are covered with light, beautiful birch trees, they keep the memory of a young, brave beauty.

For you there are master classes and 63 photographs that will help you understand how to make a birch tree from beads, paper, plastic bottles, and bake a cake that looks like a log.
This tree is good at any time of the year. In autumn it puts on a golden outfit. If you want to capture the birch tree of this period, then teach your children to make crafts that reflect the image of this beautiful tree.
Take:
- cardboard;
- gouache;
- shiny candy wrappers, where there are yellow, green, orange, red colors;
- glue;
- scissors.
To make the trunk, cut a square of white cardboard with sides of 10 cm. Connect two opposite edges, glue them together to form a trunk. Let the child paint dark spots on it with a thin brush and black paint.
On another sheet of cardboard, draw a wavy crown and cut it out. The child will decorate it to look like the leaves of an autumn tree.
Let the child glue the blanks from candy wrappers. They can be made round or cut into strips, glue their ends and attach them to the crown.
Make 3 cm deep cuts in the trunk on both sides at the top to insert the tree crown. This is what a beautiful Russian birch turned out to be.
See how else you can turn candy wrappers into white birch trees.
For such a creation you will need:
- white sheet of A3 format;
- colored pencils;
- scissors;
- a fragment of white vinyl wallpaper;
- glue stick;
- candy wrappers.
Let children use blue crayon strokes to tint the paper to create the sky. Using green they will make weed. On back side For vinyl wallpaper, you need to draw a tree trunk along with its branches and glue it to the base.
Next, birch lentils are drawn with a black pencil.
Around the branches you need to glue green colored candy wrappers, after crumpling them to form leaves.
Next to the tree there will be Russian beauties in sundresses; candy wrappers will also help make clothes for them. These elements need to be folded like an accordion and pressed on top to form a triangle. The second piece is also first rolled up in the form of an accordion, then we place it on top of the first one.
Cut out Alenka’s face from a candy wrapper, glue it to the blank to make such a wonderful girl.
You need to make several figures and glue them onto the sheet.
Also, candy wrappers are turned into sunshine and grass. Cut out several strips from vinyl wallpaper, let the child paint them like birch tree trunks with a black pencil, roll them into a tube, and stick them around the perimeter of the picture to make a beautiful frame.
This is how birch is made from candy wrappers; the result is a wonderful job that the children will be rightfully proud of.
Paper birch craft
And here is another master class that tells how to make volumetric applique so that white-trunked birches appear on the leaf.
Children will create such a wonderful work if they take:
- white album sheet;
- silver or blue cardboard;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- green and yellow napkins;
- watercolor paints with a brush;
- a sippy cup for water.
The children will surely enjoy the first stage of work. You need to tear the napkins into pieces and roll them into lumps.
To make a trunk, you need to cut a rectangle from a white sheet, wrap it around a pencil to make a tube. The side is sealed so that the figure does not unwind.
Have your child glue birch trunks vertically onto silver or blue cardstock. Where the crown will be located, it is necessary to coat this area with glue and attach pieces of napkins to it.
If the child is small, paint thin strokes of black paint on the trunk yourself. If he can handle it, then let him do this responsible job.
Such a craft will certainly be appreciated at the holiday, which is called I love the Russian birch.
This material also makes beautiful tree, and not even just one, but a whole birch grove. Prepare with your children:
- blue or A3 cardboard of blue color;
- white, green, red paper;
- glue;
- black paint with a brush.
Let the children roll strips of white paper into tubes.
You need to paint black lines on them with paint and then glue them to the base.
If you don’t have blue or dark blue cardboard, then glue sheets of colored paper of that color to the existing one.
Children will draw twigs near the trunks and glue leaves cut out of green paper to them.
Cut out a birdhouse from red cardboard together with them, glue it, as well as butterflies from colored paper onto the trunks of birch trees. You can decorate the applique with flowers, after which it will turn out so juicy and bright.
To decorate the hall for a holiday dedicated to this wonderful tree, you need to make a birch tree and place it on the table. If the tree is large, then it is placed on a stand on the floor. Here's what they use in the process:
- White paper;
- cardboard tube;
- gouache and brushes;
- glue stick;
- small birch branches;
- scissors;
- awl.
In this case, someone can paint it yellow, and when this blank dries, another person will make red highlights on it. If you don’t have a ready-made cardboard tube, roll it out of thick cardboard or even two sheets and glue it on the side.
Now this trunk needs to be painted White color When it dries, make black veins.
The next stage of work is carried out by adults. Using an awl, they will make holes in the trunk, stick birch branches here, to which they need to glue leaves. The barrel is fixed to the board using plasticine, after which you need to put the remaining paper leaves on the stand, and also put the mushrooms. Children will be happy to fashion them themselves.
You can decorate the room not only with a paper tree, but also make a birch tree from plastic bottles. It will be more durable. Such a tree can be placed not only in kindergarten for the holiday, but also to decorate the house with it, country cottage area. From late autumn to early spring When there are no leaves on the trees yet, your dacha will be decorated with a picturesque Russian birch tree, which does not care about cold, snow and wind.
Making birch from plastic bottles: photo and description
To do this you need:
- deep green plastic bottle;
- copper wire;
- pliers;
- awl;
- flame;
- alabaster and a container for diluting with water;
- white and black paint;
- glue;
- green sponge.
After all, at the next stage it will need to be scorched over a flame. In this case, the workpiece will bend slightly, the edges will take correct form. Use a hot nail or awl to make a hole in the top of the sheet.
Pass a piece of wire through it that needs to be twisted. In the same way, attach pieces of wire to other sheets and twist them with the base.
You need to make several of these trefoils from plastic bottles and wire, then twist three pieces together and connect several similar elements into a single branch.
After completing several of these blanks, form a tree. Dilute alabaster with water, apply the solution to the branches and trunk. Make a birch stand out of it.
When the alabaster is dry, cover it with white paint and draw black lines. We decorate the stand as follows - glue cut pieces of green sponge onto it.
Here's a wonderful tree made from plastic bottles, instructions and step by step photos certainly helped with this.
If you don't have alabaster and have a glass bottle, use it as a base. The surface is covered with white paint and painted with black dashes. You can make a drawing in the center of the composition. Wrap branches from plastic bottle and wires, you can put them inside the container. This is such an original Russian birch tree.
You can make another one from a glass bottle. Here are the materials you will need:
- glass bottle with stopper;
- White paint;
- glue gun;
- some birch bark;
- black paint and brush;
- yellow or brown beads;
- needle and thread;
- small birch branches.
Russian birch beads
To make one, take:
- beads of green shades;
- glue;
- thin wire for beading with a diameter of 0.4 mm;
- alabaster or plaster;
- thick wire with a diameter of 1 mm;
- acrylic paint white and black;
- tassels;
- foil;
- construction tape;
- threads;
- container for the stand.
String 9 more beads onto the first and second ends of the same wire. Twist each of these wire pieces. On each side, make 5 leaf loops in total, the eleventh one will be at the top in the middle.
Twist the wire to make a twig.
You will need to make 50 of these blanks.
From 5-7 similar small branches we make one large one. To do this, cut off a fragment 15 cm long from a thicker wire with pliers. Using thread, screw the first branch to it, cover the junction with tape.
Attach the rest of the small branches here in the same way.
Next, we make a birch tree from beads as follows: since it does not have a top, we design the first group, consisting of four branches, so that it becomes the top of the tree. We place the remaining blanks at different levels.
At the bottom of the barrel, secure 4 strong wires with tape, bending them at an angle of 90 degrees.
Lay cellophane in the container, place the cross of the tree here, fill its lower part with alabaster or plaster. First, hold the tree yourself; when the solution has hardened a little, lean the birch against a vertical support. Leave it so that the plaster or alabaster is completely dry.
To avoid staining the beads at the next stage, wrap the birch branches with foil. Dilute plaster with PVA in a 1:1 ratio. Mix well so that there are no lumps left. Cover the birch branches with this substance with a thin layer and the trunk with a thicker one.
To make the tree bark more authentic, use a toothpick to make grooves. When the glue and plaster solution has hardened, paint the top with white acrylic. Make black stripes on the trunk and branches.
When the solution is completely dry, remove the base of the tree from the mold and decorate it with pebbles or moss.
This is what a beautiful beaded birch turned out to be.
Based on this technique, you can make not only summer, but also autumn birch from beads. To do this, take this material yellow color. Moss is perfect for decorating the tree trunk circle.
Cakes in the form of a birch log
If on children's party, dedicated to the birch tree, a treat is planned, bake cakes in the theme. For experienced cooks, we can recommend the following recipe.
- It is best to use biscuit dough for the cakes, but shortbread dough is also possible. They should be rectangular. The cakes are layered with cream and moistened with impregnation.
- The decoration is made of mastic. To make the layer of it better attached to the cake, grease the top of the cake butter cream, let it harden in the refrigerator.
- Roll out the white mastic into a thin layer. Using a rolling pin, transfer it to the top of the cake and roll it down to ensure it adheres better and there are no air bubbles.
- We make the sky from white mastic with the addition small amount blue food coloring, use green for grass and leaves. It is better to cut the leaves according to a template, using molds to add texture.
- To make the trunk voluminous, place crumbled cake scraps from the sides mixed with cream under it.
- Form mushrooms and flowers and attach them in place.
To make mastic parts stick better, lubricate the surface on which you will attach them with water.
But not everyone can create such a masterpiece; it is not necessary. The second one turns out to be no less tasty, and baking such a cake, reminiscent of a birch log, is very simple.
Take for the test:
- 3 eggs;
- 2.5–3 cups flour;
- 2 tbsp. l. honey;
- 2\3 cups sugar;
- 1 tsp. soda;
- a few drops of lemon juice.
- 1/4 kg of sweet vanilla curd mass;
- 0.5 kg sour cream;
- 150 g sugar.
- Using a whisk, create a fluffy mixture of eggs and sugar. Add honey, stir. If it is thick, melt it in a water bath. Add sifted flour, knead the dough.
- Divide it into 3 parts, roll each one quite thinly to achieve a thickness of 5 mm. Cut the resulting shapes into long strips. Place them on a baking sheet at a distance, bake for a short time - 5-7 minutes. at oven temperature 220°.
- Meanwhile, beat sour cream with sugar, add curd mass, mix.
- To assemble the cake, place cellophane or foil on a flat dish, place a little cream here, and place dough sticks on it. Cover them with cream. So, alternating it and sticks, form a birch log.
- Wrap it completely in foil or cellophane and put it in the refrigerator overnight, just like the remaining cream.
- When you get your creation in the morning, remove the foil and spread the cream on top with a wide knife. Melt the chocolate, pour it into a pastry syringe, and make black lines on the surface of the birch log.
Here are some delicious treats you can prepare for a holiday enlightened by birch. With such crafts and cakes, he will certainly succeed.
You can see how to make a Birch Log cake without baking right now.
