Hedgehog from a bottle

Good afternoon. Nowadays, many gardeners like to make their own garden decorations. I wanted to make a hedgehog for the garden from an ordinary plastic bottle and polyethylene, I will now show you what came out of it. For this I needed:
- Plastic bottle with a capacity of 3 liters.
- Cement.
- Gray plastic bags.
- Scissors.
- Pencil.
- Scotch.
- Glue.
- Blister (packaging for tablets).
- 2 black beads.
- White paper.
- Black self-adhesive paper.

I took a bottle and poured a cement solution into it for stability. It was possible to put stones or earth, but now it is winter and this is not a suitable option. I wrapped the bottle's spout with tape, making the transition line between the bottle and the cork smoother.

After that I took gray plastic bags. I cut them into strips 5 centimeters wide, the length of the entire bag. I wrapped these strips around the bottle in the place where the hedgehog's face would be. I fixed the ends with glue and covered the top with tape for reliability.

Then she took the bags again and cut the same strips. I took 2 strips, folded them in half and cut the fringe without cutting to the edge.

Without unfolding, I secured these strips to the body with tape.You need to start from the wide end of the bottle.

Thus, I covered the entire hedgehog, except for the face and the bottom of the bottle.

I pasted the bottle a little differently on the back. I took a strip with chopped fringe and rolled it into a tube. I coated the end with glue and glued it to the bottle.

That's it, my hedgehog is almost ready, all that remains is to make his face. First I made the nose. I took black self-adhesive paper, outlined the nose on it and added an allowance of 0.5 centimeters. I then made cuts according to the allowance. Then I cut a strip 1 centimeter wide and 6 centimeters long.

I glued the circle onto the lid, folding the adhesive over the nose. I glued a strip on top so that the cuts in the seam allowance were not visible. Here's what I got.

The nose is ready. I made the eyes from a blister pack. I cut out two cells, and from white paper I cut out two circles of a suitable diameter for them. I glued it all together, having previously inserted a black bead inside each eye. Then I glued the eyes onto the muzzle.

I also made the ears from self-adhesive paper. I cut out two 4x4cm squares. After removing the layer of protective paper, I folded each one in half diagonally. The result is two triangles. We cut off one corner in a semicircle, the ears are ready.

All that remains is to wait until spring and the new resident of the dacha will go to his permanent place of residence. Goodbye.
