All types of painting can be conditionally divided into several techniques. Two of them are the main ones: this is the application of paint from the inside of the bottle and from the outside. Each method has its own disadvantages and advantages. For example, painting from the inside makes it possible to achieve a beautiful glow from the inside, but limits the combination of colors and textures.

Bottle decor

Step-by-step instruction:

  • Work starts from the bottom of the bottle. You need to follow in a circle. Spread the entire lower part of the glass product with a thick layer of Moment glue.
  • Glue the twine to the very edge and start winding it sequentially from the outermost line of the bottle.
  • Attach the twine tightly to the previous layers, while adding a little glue. It should not be applied to the threads themselves or to the entire surface. It is enough to regularly add 2-4 drops to the base at the place of subsequent wrapping of the thread. Do not immediately pour the glue over a long distance, as it dries quickly.
  • When protrusions or recesses begin, as well as when moving to a tapering element of the base, it is necessary to smear the surface with a sufficiently thick layer and try to twist the thread in these places as quickly as possible. It is advisable not to damage the quality at the speed of work, as an inhomogeneous coating can spoil the appearance of the finished product. Absolutely all parts, even when overlapping each other, must be wrapped with this material. If you need to place the threads inside large recesses, you need to carefully push the material into them with a stick or hands.
  • The neck or other particularly thin parts are wrapped a little tighter than the rest of the bottle, as there is a risk of delamination of the fasteners.
  • Crochet a pigtail separately from twine. It is done by applying the basic technique by threading each new loop into the previous one. If the master does not know this knitting technique, you can simply divide the threads into three parts and tie the usual pigtail. When this line is made, it is necessary to periodically put it against the edge of the bottle to see if it fits the exact size of the circle. It is necessary to make an exact detail in size, since the stability of the entire structure depends on it.

  • Glue the resulting pigtail to the bottom, slightly going to the base of the structure.
  • The bottle is being decorated. You can use any available materials that have an aesthetic appearance and are suitable for twine. Most often, masters make curls. To do this, ordinary twine threads are taken, wrapped in several layers and twisted in a chaotic manner or form a circle.
  • It is desirable to decorate the central part of the obtained elements with some kind of bead or decorative flower.
  • If the resulting product seems too dull, it can be easily refreshed by picking up a bright one, if you use old jewelry or any transparent elements from clothes wisely. You can see children's and already unnecessary sets for creativity. They also help to create a great look for the product.

Such decorated bottles fit perfectly into or.

Twine is not a bright material, so it is desirable to give it a brilliant and original appearance by adding something shiny or stylish. To finish in a simple style, just add a coffee bean or a soft button inside. It is advisable to add exactly the same circle to the very top of the bottle so that it looks finished.

One of the interesting and original is the decoration with cereals.
In addition to a variety of cereals, you will need special corrugated paper, two types of glue: PVA and hot. For a beautiful bottle decor, you need paint with a dispenser. The standard procedure for gluing a bottle looks like this:

  • a beautiful bottle is selected and cleaned of fat;

The amount of ribbon used depends on the width of the media. To make the decoration of the bottle easy, and the result turned out to be excellent, you need to decorate according to the scheme:

  1. For the implementation of each layer, you must first apply the tape to the desired location without gluing, and then cut off the excess.
  2. Dots are made on the surface of the bottle with glue. It is not necessary to use a lot of this substance.
  3. The tape is glued close to the surface, stretched. Each subsequent layer is adjusted in length.
  4. During the gluing of the tape, a kind of pigtail forms at the joints. You should always cross the edges of the material in one direction so that the pattern is even.
  5. When narrowing the tape to the neck, make sure that it is absolutely even.
  6. After gluing the bottle with a base decorative layer, you can decorate it with any additional elements.

How to decorate a bottle with ribbons for a wedding:

Salt bottle decor

Salt bottle decor is a fairly popular option, since it does not require a lot of money and time, but it allows you to show your imagination to the maximum.

Salt decoration - option number 1

Pour salt into a heat-resistant dish, add acrylic paint and mix, kneading the resulting slurry with a fork. We put the mixture in the oven (100 degrees), after an hour we take it out, knead again with a fork and sift through a sieve. It turns out something similar to colored sand. We make several types of such "sands" - different colors.

Advice! To get interesting shades, mix several colors of paint before adding it to salt, kneading the resulting slurry with a fork.

We take a funnel and pour salt into a bottle, alternating colors. It is important that the bottle inside is completely dry. When the vessel is filled to the top, close the bottle with a cork and decorate it as desired.

You can pour colored salt into a bottle using a paper or plastic funnel, as well as use a container with a dispenser

Bottles can be filled with sand and decorated with macrame elements

Salt decoration - option number 2

Now we will decorate the outside of the bottle. We remove the labels and wrap an elastic band at least 5 mm wide on the bottle body - in the form of a spiral or in random order.

Randomly wind the rubber bands around the bottles

Evenly cover the bottle with white paint, and after it dries, apply glue. We put a bottle smeared with glue on the salt scattered on paper and gently roll it. When the glue dries, remove the gum and get a bottle with patterns. You can dilute this bottle decor with sparkles and rhinestones. In this way, you can decorate bottles with semolina or other, more original things.

The decoration of bottles with cereals is another interesting option for decorating a vessel. The main stages of work: remove all labels and degrease the glass with alcohol. We apply glue to the bottle and create several layers with a border in the form of a wavy line - glue peas at the bottom, use rice, lentils, buckwheat and any other cereals above. From figured pasta (bows, shells, leaves, etc.) we create an ornament or a thematic drawing. We fix the pasta with glue on top of the layers of cereals, we also decorate the lid with pasta. We paint the resulting creation - here it is better to use spray paint with a metallic effect.

Decoupage

Decoupage is translated from French as "an object that is cut out." In needlework, this word was originally called a method of applying elements cut out of paper to an object. For greater strength, these glued elements were subsequently varnished, and the surface took on the form of painting. This is how poor peasants in China decorated furniture, and this technology for making decor items with their own hands came from here. This article will discuss how to decoupage a glass bottle.

Different ideas: what happens

For such crafts, as a rule, a bottle of an unusual shape is taken. Most often, this is a container from under expensive branded alcohol. It is interesting in itself, and after decorating, a real masterpiece is generally obtained, but only on condition that the decoupage is done with high quality.

There are many ways to give a new look to a bottle. Appearing at the end of the seventeenth century, this technique for decorating objects is being improved. Today, such types of decoupage are widely represented in needlework.

  1. Volumetric (creation of 3D images from improvised materials).
  2. Classic (drawing a picture directly on the subject).
  3. Artistic (creating a single full-fledged canvas using different effects).
  4. Reverse from the back).
  5. Decopatch (work using patchwork style).

Today there are several ways, with your own hands. This is decoration with toilet paper, pantyhose, napkins, semolina, paper of various types.

Method 1: toilet paper

A common way to decorate is to decoupage a bottle with toilet paper. The master class offers step-by-step instructions for making such crafts.

You will need toilet paper, paints, paste, brush, pencil for decorating.

The first step is to make the base. To do this, we apply glue to the bottle and glue the paper, while forming small arbitrary folds.

At the second stage, when the base dries, we make a drawing (for example, a tree). It is better to start with simple sketches with large details. When this technique is mastered, later you can proceed to more complex compositions.

We continue to decoupage the bottle with toilet paper. The master class offers the third stage of work. Now, according to the drawing, we glue the paper, forming separate parts of the tree. This is done as follows: tear off a piece of paper, twist a flagellum out of it, dip it in glue and apply it to the drawing. The trunk and branches of the tree are made of flagella of different thicknesses. You can also make stones, water, grass. After completion of work, it must be thoroughly dried.

At the last stage, we move on to coloring the workpiece. This is done with paints and a brush. We apply paint in a thick layer to give volume. Your imagination will tell you how best to decoupage a bottle with toilet paper, the master class on which we have reviewed.

Method 2: pantyhose

Now let's look at how decoupage is performed, let's take the most common one from under vodka. This craft is called "Grape Bunch". The step-by-step work on this craft will clearly demonstrate another way to decorate a bottle with your own hands.

First, wash and degrease the bottle.

At the next stage, we moisten the nylon stocking in PVA glue, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1. Now we put the capron on the bottle, fix it on the neck and gently press it against the walls of the bottle, while forming arbitrary folds. Let's leave to dry. When it dries, the folds will tighten up a little.

At the next stage, we cover with acrylic paint of the desired color, then with varnish, dry again for a day.

After that, using a regular sponge, we tint to emphasize the folds. This will give a special effect to our product.

Now we take the pebbles and form a bunch of grapes. We make leaves from paper, antennae from wire. We make out the brush, toning. And our wonderful bottle is ready. Other drawings are also possible.

other methods

Amazing this art - decoupage. Creative ideas allow you to make wonderful models.

Let's see how you can use napkins to decorate bottles. To do this, we first make a base on a clean bottle: we use acrylic paints, decorate the bottle with them, choosing a color that matches the shade of the main paper motifs. Using decoupage glue, glue a drawing cut out of a napkin onto the dried paint. We let it dry, then we draw lines along the contour of the picture to shade the application. In addition, it will give a voluminous effect. Further, at your discretion, you can decorate the neck of the bottle and finally varnish the pattern. This method is easier to perform than decoupage of a bottle with toilet paper, a master class for the manufacture of which was presented above.

And here is the decoupage of the bottle with paper. We take a newspaper as the basis for decor. You will also need acrylic paints, PVA glue and varnish. We wash the bottle and dry it well, the label can not be removed. We apply glue to the bottle, tear off pieces of paper from the newspaper, crumple and seal the bottle. We press the paper tightly so that there is no air left under it. Folds are formed in random order. When dry, paint and varnish. You can make another option. Before applying paints from newspaper flagella, lay out an impromptu frame on the bottle. Then, when everything is covered with paints and varnish, you can add a picture or photo here.

Fascinating activity

Decoupage of bottles is a very interesting and, moreover, popular activity. Very often ordered at weddings and banquets. This is an expensive service. Therefore, you can master this technique yourself and save money if you need such a bottle design.
