— Cut the black insulating tape into strips 2-3 mm wide. We will need 3-4 such blanks. If you don’t have electrical tape, you can use white construction tape after painting it with black paint or a marker. Wraps the container with black stripes around the perimeter, maintaining the same distance between them.

How will a bee emerge from a bottle?
First of all, you should make sure that all the necessary materials are available:
- plastic bottles;
- yellow and black acrylic paints;
- glue;
- black electrical tape;
- stationery knife;
- small buttons;
- tassels;
- wire;
- scissors.
To make a “real” bee from a plastic bottle, the instructions must be followed exactly:
- The first thing you will do is imitate the striped abdomen of a bee. If you have a yellow or black bottle, you will save time. Because in this case you just need to complete the missing stripes. Just wrap the yellow bottle with electrical tape. Transparent - you will have to paint it first yellow, and after the paint has dried completely, apply strips of electrical tape. Or do without tape and use only paints.
- Four wings are cut out from a transparent plastic bottle (it is better to draw them first). You will have to make slits on the top of your bee's body to attach the wings. To prevent them from flying off, glue them a little. Your wings will shine brighter in the sun if you use glitter nail polish.
- You can use a larger lid as a muzzle. Make the eyes from two small caps, and draw pupils on them either from dark plastic or black paint. The role of the proboscis will be played by a piece of black wire. Antennae and paws can also be made from it, for which you pierce the plastic with an awl and bend them using pliers.
This way you can make as many bees as you want - a whole hive.
If bees must fly over a flowerbed, they should be secured on a long stick holder, which must be inserted into a hole made specially for this purpose in the abdomen of the bee.
If they “live” on the branches of trees from the garden, you will have to make a special mount. The transparent fishing line must be threaded first into the lower and then the upper hole in the middle of the bottle, then threaded onto the branch.
You can make another craft, a beehive from a large bottle. Cut a square hole in it and paint it in three layers of yellow paint, no less.
Are you convinced that the most ordinary plastic bottles are quite suitable for crafts, and you can create a whole swarm of bees with your own hands?
How else can you create a bee yourself?

- Continue alternating the bends of the strips.
- Glue the ends.
- Iron the folds thoroughly again and stretch the paper accordion a little.
