So, you need to acquire:

• with garbage bags;
• Scissors;
• Scotch tape;
• Eraser.

The step-by-step algorithm is very simple and can be applied even to seamstresses without experience:

1. We take garbage bags without pens, five pieces. You should choose the brightest colors.
2. The packages are stacked together and the bottom part is cut off from everyone.

Important! It must be ensured that the packages do not move when pruning.

1. We measure 15 cm from one side of the polyethylene pipe, marked with chalk. We make incisions along this length along the whole circumference of the packages. The result will be fringe, and, immediately on all packages.
2. The package, located on top, gently slides down five centimeters and is fixed with a narrow tape.
3. The procedure is repeated with all other packages. And, the next step is to shift two packets, and then - just three.
4. After fixing all the levels of the packets with the help of an adhesive tape, the skirt is turned to the front.
5. The rubber band is cut along the length equal to the waist circumference, then its ends are sewn together.
6. The elastic is applied to the edge of the resulting skirt, wrapped a little in a film and fixed with tape.

The resulting skirt should be tried on and adjusted to its length using scissors.

And you can do a little differently:

1. The roll of packages is cut into strips 3-4 cm wide. They all connect with ends and wind up in one tangle.
2. With the help of a hook for knitting, a chain is connected around the waist circumference.
3. Further, approximately 4-5 cm is matched by a single column.
4. Loops are added in each row, three. The fabric knits tight for 10 cm. You can use double sticks or another pattern that you like.
5. The skirt is knitted in a circle with the loop added until the required length is reached.

Important! This option is also suitable for knitting handbags, vases and much more.

And you can go and one more way:

1. We put the cocktail tube into a bag, fasten it tightly with the help of a clerical rubber band.
2. The package is inflated through the tube, then it is pulled out. The result will be a kind of inflated ball. They need about two dozen, the size should be different.
3. The lower skirt is made of any fabric. Most importantly - its color should be combined with packages.
4. The balls are attached using threads, pins or a stapler. Balls of small size should be on top, large - from below.

1. The paper is cut into strips with a width of 5-7 cm. The paper does not unfold.

Important! Do not worry because of small errors of a few millimeters, in the end - they will not be noticeable.

1. Measures a large string, the length of which should be slightly larger than the lei, at the end a large knot is tied.
2. The first strip is stitched with small stitches. When the needle is filled with wrinkles, you need to stretch the paper along the thread to the nodule and twist it in a spiral.
3. The procedure is then repeated with all paper strips.
