Maybe you'll want to learn how to make a turntable from a plastic bottle for a small child so that he can play with it with pleasure. Especially if he also takes part in the work. Let's start with the simplest version. Take the bottle, cut the bottom. Then gently cut all the canvas bottles into small strips, coming close to the neck. To get a bright turntable, you can use paint or colored tape. Also suitable is an insulating tape of different colors or simply colored paper. We paste on the plastic and get a multi-colored striped workpiece. To turn the turntable better, turn the plastic strips slightly 45 degrees. Then we straighten everything as far as possible to get the disk. The plug is attached to a pre-prepared rod or wooden stick. If it is a toy for a child, then it is better to make a small gap between the lid and the shaft so that nothing prevents the blades from spinning.
Now, knowing how to make a turntable from a bottle for babies, we proceed to the following options. If you need to install a moving repeller for birds in the garden, then you do not need to search for the materials. The easiest way to cut a few rectangular plates on the body of the bottle without cutting it completely. Then bend them at an angle of 90 degrees and fix the bottle on the pole. For greater noise, you can attach plastic covers to the workpiece on the thread.
The second way how to make a turntable from a plastic bottle, involves the use of several blanks. We take the biggest bottle. To it, with the help of threads or wire, we fasten individual parts from the remaining blanks. Here we use only bottoms and bottles, the middle of bottles in this version is not needed. On each tier we fasten three parts, turning them by emptiness in one direction. For example, you have three bottoms with lids at the bottom, which look to the left. And on the top you have fixed the three bottoms, which are directed in the opposite direction. It's necessary for your turntable to spin from the wind from either side. If desired, add covers for additional noise. Then we fix the entire structure on the pole.

Then we mark on the flat surface of the bottle vertical stripes from the bottom to the neck. Using a sharp knife, cut through the plastic through. Lightly squeeze the bottle to bend the strips in the middle. For better twisting at the neck and bottom, we make more folds in different directions. Now, in the lid, we drill a hole and through it we stretch out the rope to hang a lantern with its help.
