Step by step instructions
Proceed as in the photo. As you can see, the craft is not complicated, it’s as if the plastic bottles were specially created to make penguins out of them :)).
It is better not to assign the first part, where you need to work with scissors, to children. Here we trim the bottle and smooth the edges using tape.
We cover the entire bottle with white paint, mark the place for the “belly” and paint the rest of the surface black.
When the craft is dry, draw a cap for the penguin from a plastic bottle. You can choose the color as in the photo or at your discretion.

How to make a penguin from plastic bottles - option 1
Required materials:
- 2 empty 2 liter water or beverage bottles;
- Paints;
- Paint brush;
- Braid;
- Pompon;
- Hot glue gun.
Instructions with photos:
1. Wash the bottles thoroughly and remove all labels.
2. Cut both bottles in half and leave the bottom parts.
3. To make the body, connect the lower parts of the bottles by inserting one inside the other, as shown in the photo. The bases of the bottles (one at the top, the other at the bottom) will act as the head and legs of the future penguin.
4. At this stage, you can add glue for fixation, but our bottles fit together quite tightly and we decided to do without it.
5. Apply a base coat to the penguin's body (we used white spray paint as a base coat on the entire body). After the base coat has dried, paint the body black, drawing a widow's toe on the penguin's forehead.
Make sure that the lines of the widow's toe are parallel to the two lower edges of the base of the bottle, which will be used as legs. Choose a color for the penguin's hat and paint the top base of the bottle as shown in the photo. Add facial features - eyes and beak.
6. Leave the penguin to dry completely.
7. Tie a piece of ribbon around the penguin's body like a scarf and glue a pom pom to the top of the hat using a hot glue gun. The baby is ready!

You can make many different, useful and interesting crafts from plastic bottles. This waste material also makes wonderful children's toys. Such as, for example, penguins. You can make them together with your children from used plastic bottles and use them to decorate a New Year tree or home festive interior.
To make “Penguins” crafts from plastic bottles you will need:
- two empty bottles with a “waist” (belt in the middle);
- cardboard;
- stationery knife;
- acrylic paints;
- glue.
The color of the bottle, in principle, does not matter. But the form is important. It is better to choose a “pot-bellied” bottle with a belt pressed in the middle for a craft made from waste material.
From one bottle for crafts, cut the bottom 10-15 cm with a stationery knife or scissors (just above where the “waist” ends); or depending on the overall size of the bottle and the desired height of the penguin. And the other bottle is much lower. Both parts are inserted into each other with the cut sides and, for reliability, the joint is fixed with glue, forming the body of the penguin. In order to make the craft more stable, before gluing the seam, something heavy is placed on the bottom of most of it (for example, a piece of plasticine is stuck to it).
The penguin figurine blank is covered with a layer of white or light brown paint and left to dry. In principle, plastic can be coated with any paint that will adhere well to it. It can be gouache, acrylic paint and others, including those with a metallic sheen, which gives the craft a more advantageous look. It’s even better if you coat the penguin’s body with a primer or matte paint before painting. When the paint of the first layer has dried, you can begin to “revive” the craft. First, the contours of all the details are applied with a thin brush, and then they are painted. The body and back of the penguin are painted with black or dark blue paint, the belly is white, the dots of the eyes and the red beak are indicated. The hat and scarf are painted in any bright color to make the craft look as fun and contrasting as possible. On the hat, if desired, a headband and a knitted pattern can be added. Also, a fur or thread pompom is glued to the hat, without which penguins made from plastic bottles will look unfinished.
You can also make a craft hat and scarf from an old sock or an unnecessary piece of fabric. Finally, legs are cut out of orange cardboard and glued to the bottom of the bottle, resulting in original children's crafts made from plastic bottles.
Now you know for sure that you cannot throw away empty plastic bottles! Having figured out what you can do with them, quickly prepare the material and make, together with your children, these cuties that are not afraid of frost. Crafts from bottles “Penguins” will be a wonderful home New Year's decoration, which children will happily place in the places they need (including on the Christmas tree).
Another option for making penguins. More
To make such a charming penguin, you You will need the following materials and tools:
- empty plastic bottles, two liter capacity
- acrylic paints
- white paint in an aerosol can
- brushes of different thicknesses
- sharp knife or scissors
- wide, transparent tape
All that is needed to create these crafts from bottles with your own hands is to carefully cut off the bottom part of both bottles with sharp scissors or a knife. Moreover, it is necessary to move upward 8 centimeters from the bottom of the first bottle, and 10 centimeters from the bottom of the second.
These are the two blanks of different sizes that we should get.
Then we start coloring our future penguin. To do this, take an aerosol can with white paint and paint the entire workpiece evenly in two layers, making sure to let each layer dry completely.
After the white base is finished, take acrylic colored paints and brushes of different thicknesses and begin to paint the penguin.
We will paint the body and eyes with black paint, the beak with yellow paint, and we will make a cap and scarf for the penguin with bright blue, pink or light green paint.
Finally, you can make a small fluffy pom-pom from yarn of a suitable color and glue it with glue to the top of our penguin's head.
This is how you can easily and simply make beautiful crafts from plastic bottles for the New Year holidays.
It is also important that by using bottles that have become unnecessary for crafts, you can make a feasible contribution to preserving the environment.
To make a penguin, you will need two 1.5 or 2 liter plastic bottles, cleaned of labels and traces of glue.
The best crafts are made from those bottles that have a slight narrowing in the middle - this shape gives the most realism to the penguin figurine.
The bottles are cut in half, leaving their lower parts for work. Both parts are connected to each other using glue for additional fixation.
To make the penguin figurine as stable as possible, you can attach a piece of plasticine to the bottom of one blank, add small pebbles, sand, and put a few pine cones.
The workpiece is covered with a layer of primer or, if it is not available, with a base layer of white paint. It is most convenient to use aerosol paints, because... Covering with a brush takes a little longer.
After the base layer has dried, use a marker or a thin brush to apply the contours of the main parts - the belly and cap of the penguin.
The penguin's body is covered with black paint, after it dries, they begin to draw the rest: the tummy is painted with bright white paint - acrylic, gouache or with a metallic sheen.
The hat and scarf can be painted with any bright paint, which gives the craft a festive look. To make the hat look most impressive, you can attach a small pompom to it.
Using a thin brush, draw the eyes and beak of the penguin; if desired, the finished craft can be varnished. If you have unnecessary scraps on hand, then the scarf can be made from fabric instead of drawing.
