To paint the inner surface, a little acrylic paint or interior enamel is poured into a transparent bottle of the original shape. When rotating and tilting in different directions, the paint spreads evenly over the entire inner surface. After that, it is advisable to let the remaining acrylic paint drain from the finished bottle and leave it upside down to dry completely so that there are no wrinkles or sagging.

Another way is external spraying with spray paint. Silvering and gilding look the most luxurious. The transition from silver to gold or to another color looks original. This bottle decor is self-sufficient, but it can be supplemented with other elements - sparkles, beads, pebbles. This is another idea - how to decorate a bottle of wine with your own hands for your birthday.

The golden bottle looks luxurious, this technique is suitable for any occasion. In an empty container, you can put a spruce branch with traditional decorations for the New Year. A great budget option that allows you to do without buying a Christmas tree.

There are other ways to replace Christmas trees when they use bottle decor instead. The composition of chocolates in green foil, fixed on a bottle in the form of a Christmas tree, looks luxurious. Make sure the treats don't get soaked in glue. They can be wound from the bottom up in a circle with tape, hiding the bottom rows. It is better to fix the top of the head with red or golden ribbons with an asterisk or an angel, if this is a decor for Christmas. Spraying with white paint is a great winter decoration of glass bottles with your own hands.

A neatly cut top or bottom of a glass bottle will give it a new life in the form of a florarium or a lamp shade. It is no secret that if there are cats in the apartment, it is difficult to grow rare succulents or other plants that animals sometimes eat as a vitamin supplement.

The composition of plants with fleshy leaves is closed with an evenly cut wide bottle or jar. This "trick" is not always successful, but the principle works when a bottle of ice water at the bottom is abruptly immersed in boiling water to that de level. Sometimes one sharp blow from the side is needed, but often the crack goes on its own. It turns out an even cut, as if under a ruler. The resulting container without a bottom is used as a cap for indoor flowers, under a lamp or a miniature composition with a landscape.

Decorating bottles with bulk materials

The most affordable way to decorate bottles with your own hands is to decorate with bulk materials. This idea came from Africa, where there is a lot of colored sand, which is used to make souvenirs for tourists. Local craftsmen so skillfully pour layers of colored sand that they get whole pictures with landscapes of the Sahara. Fillers of different shades are poured into the bottle through a narrow funnel, the layers are adjusted with a stick to make camels, thorns, mountain peaks on the horizon, and even an absolutely round sun.

The traditional technique has entered the everyday life of modern Europeans as a decoration of glass bottles with their own hands. Instead of sand, salt, sugar or semolina can be dyed, only after drying they need to be kneaded so that there are no lumps, and the dyed material is loose and pliable for filling.

Bottles with colored fillers will decorate any kitchen, but the material is chosen for a certain style of interior design. For the emotional decor of the bottle, colored dragees are suitable. Looks great in a glass coffee jar colored filler from a combination of products and seeds of different colors:

green pea;
black pepper;
white and red beans;
orange lentils;
yellow corn;
yellow millet;
unshelled peanuts;
mustard seeds, etc.

If the kitchen has several varieties of colored beans, they can also be covered in even layers or zigzags (fill at an angle). After a while, such a filler will go into a vinaigrette or another dish, and something else will fill the bottle. Today it is also fashionable to make decorative preservation, when blanks are laid out as decoration for bottles and cans.

Kitchen decor from cereals, pasta and eggshells

For those who do not know how to decorate a bottle for the kitchen with their own hands, there is another simple solution - pasta pasting. Today, a lot of original pasta is on sale, ranging from small noodles to large shells. Some craftsmen glue individual hexagonal figures with PVA glue, making delightful lace souvenirs in the form of kitchen utensils. The finished "service" is painted with gold plating or another color.

External surface decoration with bulk materials is another simple technique. It is easy to make designer bottles from ordinary beer bottles using the transformation of the outer surface. The original mosaic base is easy to get if you stick pieces of shell on the glass and cover with paint. Then you can use any other technique.

Drops of glue, resin, paint, any quick-drying liquid are applied to the surface of the container. After drying, we decorate the bottle by opening it with an aerosol. The design of a beer bottle sprinkled with grains or salt over the adhesive surface will look no less interesting. It is possible to apply layers of bulk materials of large and small fractions, for example, semolina and buckwheat, alternating them with millet. Under white or golden paint, they will even out, playing in the decor on the contrast of texture.

In a similar way, you can decorate a bottle of wine that has not yet been opened, and after a memorable event, use the container as a memory. To decorate wine bottles with your own hands, you can use traditional needlework techniques - macrame, crochet and knitting, beading.

How to please and surprise guests during a big holiday, how to decorate your own chest of drawers, which stores dishes for festive feasts, without spending a lot of time and effort? It is enough just to show imagination and decorate an object familiar to everyone - a bottle. You can choose it from under any liquid, the main thing is an interesting appearance and no damage.

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.

For the implementation of each layer, you must first apply the tape to the desired location without gluing, and then cut off the excess.
Dots are made on the surface of the bottle with glue. It is not necessary to use a lot of this substance.
The tape is glued close to the surface, stretched. Each subsequent layer is adjusted in length.
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.
When narrowing the tape to the neck, make sure that it is absolutely even.

Prepare a light-colored tape, throw it around the neck of the bottle, cross the ends of the tape and secure with glue.

* To make the top turns, you will need 20-22 cm of tape, and where the girth is wider, about 25-28 cm.

Groom

3. To make trousers, prepare a piece of fabric, slightly larger than the girth of the bottle and about 5-7 cm wide. Connect the edges and hem the bottom edge, then turn the trousers inside out and put on the "groom".

4. Since the shirt will be almost completely "hidden" under the frock coat, you do not need to make it completely - it is enough to make an imitation of the collar and the upper part. Start at the neck, and then make 2-3 rows of light-colored ribbons. A little lower, add 2 rows of ribbons of a darker shade.

5. Take one piece of fabric or two halves to cut out a small frock coat (in this example it is dark lilac). For the hem and the seam, allowances of approximately 0.5 cm are needed.

6. Now you need to sew the parts and unscrew them. Also sweep the edges. In order for the upper part of the vest to hold tightly on the bottle, you can make 4 small tucks from the inside (2 in front or on the sides, 2 on the back).

Attach a light-colored ribbon, and put the frock coat on the bottle.

7. You can decorate the groom's suit with a small white collar, tie and buttons. Add a flower to the buttonhole and don't forget the hat.

8. You can tie the bottles with a bright ribbon.

Wedding bottle decoration

To learn more about how to decorate champagne for a wedding, take a look at our article:

When, after the next holiday, you cannot throw away the bottle because the shape of the vessel is very interesting, it means that the sense of beauty has defeated the arguments of reason or there is already an idea for decoration.

Your soul needs a creative act - decorating bottles with your own hands.

At your service there is always a master class in the society of a master or an Internet version of the work process. Ideas for decoration can be seen on forums where needlewomen share their achievements. A simple way to decorate is decoupage with a photo. After processing, a picture, photograph or postcard is glued onto the bottle. There are many techniques and master classes where bottles are decorated with twine, salt, leather, ribbons and even tights.

We paint the bottle

In order to feel the taste for decoration, simple manipulations with the object are enough. Do-it-yourself elementary decor of glass containers is done with the help of paint. A transparent object can be painted inside or outside.

For internal coloring, pour acrylic paint into the bottle using a syringe without a needle and rotate the bottle to achieve a dense internal coating.

As an interesting idea, you can paint the inside of the container in several colors. To do this, each color layer should not cover the entire surface, but only a part. The colored decor of the bottle adds mood to the interior.

Outside, the bottle is painted with a sponge or brush. Pre-treat the vessel with alcohol and apply acrylic paint with tangential movements. Buy a few toners for white acrylic paint or use gouache - mixing colored toners with a white base, get the right shades and make a colorful bottle decor.

Painted bottle - the basis for decoration

You can quickly decorate a bottle of interesting shape with your own hands with ribbons and lace. Make a small bow out of ribbons, sew them on a lace base, add a brooch, beads and put on the neck of the vessel - an exclusive decor item is ready!

A bright and sparkling effect is achieved with improvised materials, for example, salt. Treat the prepared bottle from the outside with glue and sprinkle with salt with large crystals, carefully place on a flat surface until completely dry. It is appropriate to decorate an object with salt for a winter interior or a New Year themed one.

If a solid layer of salt seems boring or you need to decorate several areas with salt, then glue only those places where sparkling is needed and cover with salt. A master class on this topic will help in mastering the technique.

More about decor

Even just by painting the bottle with your own hands, you can achieve an incredible effect of silver or gold gloss, shimmering with the lights of a New Year's fairy tale, sparkling carnival or vintage treasure.

To get a stylish effect of gold / silver plating on a future art object, it must be prepared. Preparing glass for subsequent decoration with your own hands, at the initial stage, is the same for any method of painting: the object should be washed, dried, degreased and treated with a universal primer.

The prepared glass vessel can be painted. For these purposes, automotive paint in a can is suitable. It should be sprayed at a distance of 15 centimeters from the object, outdoors or on a balcony.
If you don't have a spray can, get gold/silver acrylic paint from hobby stores or a hardware store. Use a sponge to apply. It should be painted with point (plugging) movements, leaving a trace on the surface, and not a strip, the surface will turn out to be even, without streaks.

Gold, like silver, is colored, i.e. has several shades, which makes working with these paints exciting.

You can add decor in several ways. For example, wrap the thick part of the container with lace, securing it with a glue gun. Or partially wrap with twine, colored threads, beads. Stick on hearts or ribbons. Decorating bottles is a fun activity, and you can use all the materials at hand for every idea.

Decoupage of bottles with napkins (master class)

A popular technique for decorating bottles is decoupage. Visit a decoupage master class and you will appreciate the technique in full.

Simple manipulations with napkins, decoupage cards or printed pictures allow you to get a charming decorative item of exclusive design.

The easiest way to decorate an object is to paste a cut-out picture. To get a taste for handmade, visit a master class on the technique of interest and find ideas. Prepare the container as mentioned above, choose the plot you like (from a postcard, magazine, decoupage card), cut it out and stick it on the surface. Add accessories, brooches, beads, ribbons by gluing them with your own hands using a glue gun. Sometimes this is enough.

Decorating bottles with a more fundamental approach requires preparation, a master class will always come in handy. For the technique in the classic version, a colored layer of a napkin is used. That is, only a layer with a pattern is required from a three-layer napkin, the class of the napkin is also important - it must be with a bright pattern.

For work you will need:

decoration object;
universal soil;
acrylic paint white and colored;
toners or artistic gouache;
acrylic lacquer (art or construction);
brushes, sponge for plugging;
patterned napkin.

Stages of the master class:

Prepare a glass container (wash, degrease, prime).

Paint the bottle to be decorated with white acrylic in two layers by tamponing with a sponge. Dry after each application.

From a napkin, cut out a pattern with nail scissors or tear along the contour. If the drawing is on a white background, you can deviate from the contour, the white part of the napkin will merge with the background on the subject.

White color is not always suitable for your idea and therefore any other color can be applied on a white surface. If you are new to decoupage, use light, creamy shades to add color. With a dark background for napkins, more work is required. Dry the surface.

Attach the drawing with a colorful layer up and apply acrylic glue on top of it with a brush (acrylic varnish can be used), try to avoid wrinkles and bubbles. You must act quickly and carefully. Dry.

When you have glued all the drawings, you can proceed to the final design. Decoupage of bottles is completed by applying three layers of varnish with drying. With fine sandpaper, it is necessary to sand the surface and cover with a final layer of varnish. DIY bottle decoration is complete!

Not only decoupage

Having mastered the simple decoupage of bottles with napkins, you always want more. The smooth surface of the bottle does not give a texture, with the help of which a more interesting effect is achieved. You can create an interesting surface with tights or stockings. A master class on this type of decor can be found on the Internet.

To do this, cut off one part from a pair of tights, soak it with a mixture of PVA glue and water (proportion 1 to 1) and put it on the bottle. Lay out coattails, waves, any texture.

Instead of tights, you can use decoupage with a cloth, the procedures for materials and techniques are similar.

Leave a few places flat to stick the napkin on. Dry completely, prime with a special compound or acrylic paint. Now you can decoupage bottles, tint, embody your ideas or leave it as it is.

Another way to get texture: wrap the bottle with threads, colored threads for sewing of different thicknesses are quite suitable. Colored thread decoration is also quickly obtained when using cotton yarn for knitting.

Using alternately threads of different colors, you can get a very stylish decor item, fix the threads with PVA glue. The decor of the bottles with twine, threads should be varnished and used as a vase, or you can prime, paint and stick napkins.

Leather for decoration

Decorating bottles with leather is one of the most beautiful opportunities to recycle leftover leather or outdated jackets, boot tops and get an interior item for home decoration. You can decorate any glass surface with leather. To work, you need glue like "Moment", tweezers, scissors and a knife, as well as imagination.

To make folds, pieces of leather need to be soft. A detailed master class can be found on the Global Web. Spread a bottle and a piece of leather with glue, attach the skin to the surface and form folds.

Leather is a little more difficult to work with than decoupage of bottles with a cloth, but folds are also formed directly on a glass bottle.

Do you want to decorate your home interior in an original way or make an unusual gift for your friends? Then try to decorate the bottles with your own hands. I will tell you how this can be done, and illustrative examples of finished works will give a general idea of \u200b\u200bthis type of decoration.

Example number 1: twine decoration

Before you decorate the bottle with your own hands with twine, we will prepare everything you need:

Photo	Name and purpose
	Leg-split. Facing the glass surface of the bottle.
	Glass containers. Craft base. In this case, you can choose any bottle, the main thing is that it is clean and you like its shape.
	PVA glue. Fixing twine and other decorative elements.
	Saucer. Container for glue.
	Beads and other jewelry. Decorative craftwork.
	glue gun. Applying glue. In the absence of such a tool, you can use an ordinary thin brush.

In the case of using linen threads or braid instead of twine, the decor of the bottles is ethnic.

	We fill saucer with glue.
	We put bottle on a sheet of paper. This will prevent the table from staining with glue.
	Dipping the edge of the twine in the adhesive solution.
	We tie the glue-soaked edge of the twine is the neck of the bottle.
	We wind rope on the bottle, smearing each section with glue.
	We leave dry the glass product completely wrapped with twine.
	Checking the quality of the winding after drying the crafts. If all the threads hold tight, and the dried glue is not visible, then everything is in order and you can move on.
	Neck decorate with lace braid, fixing it with PVA.
	in the middle bottles also stick a ribbon with lace.
	On the bottom products, we repeat the trim with braid, similarly putting it on glue.
	We bind bow from twine and glue it to the central ribbon.
	Collecting from a shiny pebble and beads, a flower on the neck, gluing each fragment with a gun or brush.
	We make out the whole bottle with similar flowers in increments of a few centimeters.
	We decorate braid with half beads, after wetting them with glue.
	Presenting finished result.

When decorating glass bottles with twine, double-sided tape can be used instead of PVA glue. In this case, the process will be cleaner, and the craft itself will turn out to be collapsible.

Example No. 2: creating a raised inscription

The bottle with protruding letters looks original. In this case, you can make the inscription any you want. For example, this could be the name of the person to whom you are going to give the craft.

Preparation of materials and tools

Photo	Name and purpose
	Glass bottle. Craft base.
	glue gun. Creating a convex part of the inscription.
	Marker. Applying an inscription.
	Paint can. Craft decoration.

IN this case the surface of the container must be perfectly clean, as the spray paint lays down in a very thin layer and any remnants of old glue or other debris will rather emphasize rather than hide. As a result, the finished product will not look very nice.

	We write the desired inscription on the glass surface with a marker.
	Apply glue on the finished letters with a glue gun.
	Delete acetone fingerprints from the glass.
	Coloring bottle with a can.

Example #3: Filling with sand

Glass containers filled with multi-colored sand can be a real find for the interior of a living room or bedroom. They will bring a metered portion of bright colors, which will allow you to look at the room in a completely new way.

We prepare tools and materials

Photo	Name and purpose
	Glass bottle. Craft base.
	Colored sand. Drawing formation.
	Plastic cups. Sand distribution tanks. Of these, it will be much more convenient to work with him.
	Watering can. Transportation of sand through a narrow neck into a bottle.
	Glue "Dragon". Creation of a conservation cork.

If you want to make the drawing more complicated than a multi-colored zebra, then it is better to make a watering can yourself from a cocktail tube and a paper funnel. She will be able to fill not just layers, but separate sections of the composition.

Work progress

Image	Description
	Scatter sand in plastic cups.
	We lower homemade or purchased watering can in a bottle.
	We fill container alternately with sand of different colors, pouring it into the funnel with a teaspoon. For the first time, it is enough to simply alternate the contrasting shades layer by layer. In the future, the design can be complicated and create a real drawing.
	Rammer sand in the right places as the container is filled, we perform it with a long metal stick.
	We fill neck on top of the sandy composition with glue. After it hardens, the bottle will have an airtight and reliable cork.
	Presenting finished result.

Other options

When designing bottles, you can use almost everything that you have at hand. To broaden your horizons, in addition to the examples detailed above, I want to offer you a couple more interesting options for decorating glass containers for consideration:

Cereals and pasta. The bottle can be decorated even with what you can find in the kitchen. In fact, this method is similar to the one where twine was used, only buckwheat, pasta, rice and other products are glued instead of rope, which are then covered with paint;

Toilet paper. Even such an unremarkable household item can turn a glass container into a real work of art:

First, we glue the entire bottle with toilet paper;
Then we twist thin flagella from it and paste them in the form of various patterns;
After the glue dries, we paint the background of the composition with white acrylic paint, after which we direct the rest of the fragments with other colors;

The benefits of decorating bottles with your own hands

Finally, I propose to deal with the advantages that do-it-yourself bottle decoration gives:

Lowprice. Buying a ready-made original gift or handmade decor item will be much more expensive. So now, when visiting, you can please the owners and save the family budget;
The opportunity to part withvarious unnecessary items. Instead of the same pasta, you can use parts from a broken household appliance that was supposed to go to a landfill, toilet paper is easily replaced with old newspapers, and even instead of twine, no one will forbid you to use threads from a sweater eaten by moths;
