Royal dove out of plastic bottles

I welcome you, my dear guest! 
Nice to meet you - I, the Royal Pigeon! 
symbol of peace, love and trust! With me, people associate the very best: the hope for peace and harmony, pleasant news, and of course, love. After all, is not accidental lovers of all countries understand without words that mean the two sitting next pigeon. 
White has always meant purity, innocence, thoughts and desires, the joy of life, the sincerity of the words, purity of soul.

I want to show you how I was born! 
(based on the idea of making birds out of plastic bottles Alena Zinovieva)

For manufacturing, we need to: 
1) plastic bottle (of a detergent), 
2) metal-plastic pipe with a diameter of 12mm., 54cm long., 
3) milk bottles, 24ps., 
4) two 1.5 liters. transparent bottles, 
5) wire, 
6) a small piece of foam 
7) screws (with a small cap of 1.5 cm in length), screwdriver, stationery knife, sandpaper number 1 and number 0, awl, 
8) and a glue gun transparent glue "Moment". 
9) twine.

Form the frame: 
1) The shape of the legs of the arch the composition pipe so that the middle part of the lay flat inside the bottle, and the feet to the bottom, were slightly bent forward. 
2) cut a hole where to put our feet anticipated, the risks to which otcherchena 1 / 3 part of the province.

Insert the legs and fastened onto the screws. 
From the top of 1.5 liters. transparent form the neck of the bottle: cut off about a little less than half of the bottle, it is cut and stacked cone held together with wire. If the cone, you will seem too narrow rear, extend it by inserting a small triangular piece. 
To manufacture "thighs", cut out the middle part of the bottle, cut it in half. From these rectangles add up the envelopes.

The resulting neck and "lyazhechki" attach to the canister on the screws.

The form is ready.

To produce feathers chop milk bottles into 5 parts.

Each portion is cut into small feathers, as shown in the photo.

Begin to close the "thighs". To do this, finely chop the top 6 parts.

Glue to glue gun, first inside, then outside.

For convenience, disconnect the "thigh" of the canister and continue to cover the small feathers with a wire.

In the process, I realized that I need to push the back of the cans of 1 cm to cut it off, as shown in the photo and cemented screws. You can do this in the beginning, when ready to assemble form.

With the help of screws, start to close the back of our form.

The next stage, we begin to close the canister from the bottom side to the feathers, as if coming out from under the fluffy part of the "lyazhechki." 

Attach "thighs" in place.

We continue to cover the sides of the canister small feathers with self-tapping screws.

Remove the neck and begin to close her feathers with wire, approximately, a little below the middle.

We connect the finished parts together.

Cut the top of the bottle in half, then finely chop the most, but little has been delayed, it is useful to us later on.

Use glue gun to glue the circle begin our tail. stop before reaching the top of the approximately 2.5-3cm.

It is time to put our feet on the bird! 
To produce the feet, we need a wire that is well bent, medium thickness. 
1) insert the wire between the plastic pipe and envelopes, 

2) before reaching the edge, about 0.3-0.4 mm. go around the composition pipe wire.

Bend the wire, gradually forming fingers of the feet.

We smear each finger glue and wrapped with twine to two times (there - back). Our feet are ready.

Ready to put on your feet and be sure to promazyvayut glue for strength (so that they do not move).

Here we are standing alone!

Cut the strip of corrugated tube about 1 cm, glued to the composition pipe to close the wire.

Of the remaining upper parts (which we cut off when closed neck), cut into small feathers.

Glue them with a glue gun to the composition pipe from the inside and the outside.

The joint (front), close the same way as the rear, with a small strip of corrugated tube. 
We turned gorgeous legs!

From a small piece of mesh-netting (cell 25 * 25) prepare a form for attachment of the tail.

From the top of the bottle cut into feathers.

Use the wire, attach the feathers begin to mesh.

Turn over and attach the next row (turn over the net in order to make it easier to attach the wire.)

Again turn over and attach the next row of feathers.

Turn over and start again to close the small feathers visible attaching feathers (close the visible wires). Drops below the last row of the grid, netting about 1.5 cm in order 

to fasten them with screws to the rear of the canister.

Neatly under the palm off the top row of feathers and fasten with screws.

Ahead necessarily fix our tail screws (we catch the edges of feathers).

Top of the bottle cut into 3 pieces and with the help of screws (to fasten the canister) close the last row of feathers on the tail.

Getting Started with wings. 

Measure and draw a diagram of the canister wings (it is possible that the size of your canister will not be the same as mine, so you'll be able to measure it and draw a similar scheme). Transfer it to 1.5 liters. plastic bottle with a marker, cut out. Just in case, try first a pattern of paper and make sure that it matches the shape and fits well.

From the top of the bottle cut into long, feathers for the wings.

We begin to lay out drawing of the wing. Fastened with wire.

Ready wings attach to the canister with self-tapping screws (not less than 3-4 cm) on each side, carefully crawled under the feathers, then to mount was not noticeable

Getting a cutting head shape. To do this, we need a piece of foam 7 cm x 10 cm

With stationery knife carefully cut away the foam, giving it the shape of the head. Be sure to head daubed with putty (I use acrylic sealer). Well dry, the skins until smooth and cover with white glue. It will give us a good grip glue with plastic feathers.

With the help of screws attach the finished head to the neck. 
Take your time! 

Please select the position of the head for his bird!

Glue the eyes (I buy eyes for dolls at a fabric store). With the help of twine (which we covered fingers toes) and glue gun, glue the eyelids around the eyes. 

Continuing cover the head feathers.

That's my King ready dove! Touch-up (acrylic paint) and give him a beak to show off!
