Instructions:
Firs of all wash the plastic bottle and remove the labels. Cut the plastic bottle in half. Fill the bottle with sand so you can start making the swan shape. Introduce a thick wire into the bottle and through its cap. Fix it into the sand then try to shape the swan’s neck. Cover the bottle with plaster and add two rectangular metal grates. This will be the wings of the swan. Cover the complete figure with plaster and start modeling. Take a thin layer of bandage and wrap it around the swan’s neck and head. Make realistic forms of head, neck and wings by adding more plaster and modeling. Now all you have to do is to paint the swan. You can use orange paint for the beak and black paint for the eyes.
