Start by removing the cap from the plastic bottle with the scissors and your labels. In addition, we proceed to mark (with the black marker) the neck of the bottle a few centimeters towards the center (without reaching it) as shown in the figure. Cut with the big scissors. Then the edge of the bottle's mouth is located on the back of its base to mark its contour.

Inicio quitando la tapa de la botella plástica con la tijera y sus etiquetas. Además se procede a marcar ( con el marcador negro)del cuello de la botella a unos centímetros hacia el centro (sin llegar a él) tal como se observa en la figura. Cortar con la tijera grande. Luego se ubica el borde de boca de la botella en la parte posterior de su base para marcar su contorno.

Once the base mark is ready on the plastic bottle, I proceed to open the hole. He continued by separating the dry eucalyptus leaves from the branch (small and medium selection). Subsequently I am fixing the leaves to the outline of the bottle, leaving a few centimeters from the upper edge to the center (as seen in the figure); When I finish the outline, I continue with the other turn of sheets.

Una vez lista la marca de la base en la botella plástica, procedo abrir el orificio. Continuó separando las hojas secas de eucalipto de la rama (selección pequeñas y medianas). Posteriormente voy fijando las hojas al contorno de la botella dejando unos centímetros del borde superior al centro (tal como se observa en la figura); al terminar el contorno, sigo con la otra vuelta de hojas.

He continued to complete the outline of the third turn of leaves. Until completing the decorative strip of leaves. In the small container, add 2 tablespoons of water and 1 of white glue, stir until the mixture is fluid. With the brush I proceed to give a layer on the leaves (spread well, to avoid leaving white glue marks), I let it dry.

Continuó completando el contorno de la tercera vuelta de hojas. Hasta completar la franja decorativa de hojas. En el pequeño envase agregó 2 cucharadas de agua y 1 de pega blanca, remover hasta quedar fluida la mezcla. Con el pincel procedo a dar una capa sobre las hojas (esparcir bien, para evitar dejar marcas blancas de pegamento), dejo secar.

Line the upper end with the mecatillo on the fringe of the leaves and then fix the mecatillo to the lower end, turning several times, (as seen in the figure). I fix the fiber braid on the upper edge. And I proceed to cover the other part of the bottle, the small one (which will serve as the base of the vase); circling the mecatillo; on its fixed edge the natural fiber braid.

Forrar con el mecatillo el extremo superior sobre la franja de las hojas y luego fijo el mecatillo al extremo inferior dando varias vueltas,(tal como se observa en la figura). Fijo en el borde superior la trenza de fibra. Y procedo a forrar la otra parte de la botella, la pequeña (que servirá como base del florero); dando vueltas de mecatillo; en su borde fijo la trenza de fibra natural.

To finish, he applied glue to the mouth and neck of the bottle and fixed it; passing this to the hole in the base (as shown in the figure). I let it dry and thus be able to shape the original vase.

Para finalizar aplicó pegamento a la boca y cuello de la botella y fijo; pasando esta al orificio de la base ( tal como se observa en la figura). Dejo secar y así poder dar forma al original florero.

Impressive piece of skill - and the end product is great as well. I love eucalyptus leaves because of its fresh scent. It can even be used in place of air fresheners. One thing I love about this work is the use of recycled plastic bottle. In my city, you see this bottle littered here and there. If they can be put to good use in this way, that would be fine. Keep up the great effort!!!
