DIY bottle decoration and decoupage with tights – Master Class
Did you know that even a nylon stocking canbecome an excellent alternative to modern decoupage materials? Using an ordinary, old and unnecessary piece of clothing, you can create miracles and real beauty for the appearance of the bottle. There are more than enough ways to do this. We will try to familiarize ourselves with some new design methods to improve the appearance of the bottle and add new, brighter and more interesting tones to it. To implement such a complex idea, oddly enough, you will also need material. A special set of special items for decoupage will facilitate your ability to create an interesting and unique appearance for the bottle. However, this entire set is basically – standard. The only serious addition – these are nylon stockings and a special varnish for vintage. Let's look at the detailed list:
- The bottle itself will be required for processing
- Let's prepare a varnish-craquelure for recreating the effect of small cracks
- A degreaser is required
- Take also a stocking from capron
- Take the sticky substance PVA
- We need to find a varnish for vintage from bitumen cover
- Need napkins
- Prepare for work discs made of cotton wool, also oil for artistic processing and paints made of acrylic
- Take the contours of gold, as well as printed maps for decoupage (or wipes)

Bottle preparationThis set should be enough to complete a beautiful and unique decoupage of your future bottle. Let's try to take a closer look at the working methods and ways of designing such a bottle.You need to take a bottle and spenddegreasing. A standard dishwashing detergent will do for this. Any other degreasing agent will also work. Next, you need to take a nylon stocking and dip it in glue. Afterwards, we stretch the product onto the bottle shape and form folds according to the shape. Then, you need to take napkins and also soak them in glue. From them we form a variation of papier-mâché in the form of a flower. Next, we wait for our products to dry. This can last 1-2 days. After we have waited a certain amount of time, we need to cover the product with black acrylic paint. The cork is also covered, but not in those places where the decoupage process will take place. For decoupage we use a surface coated with white acrylic paint for a matte surface. Again we wait until our product dries. Afterwards, you need to select a drawing and print it, or select the desired version of the napkin. We cover the design on the front side with three layers of varnish, using intermediate drying for 30 minutes. Days pass, we cut out the drawing in the shape we need. The printout needs to be soaked in water for several hours, then placed face down on a file sheet and rolled up all the white paper from the center to the edge until the design appears. The printout is glued using glue diluted with water.Decoration and decoration in vintage style AfterAfter the print dries, we take a sponge and gold acrylic paint to tint the surface covered in black paint. After the tinting has dried, using a gold outline, you need to work out the transition part from the drawings to the dark color of the ball. The same contour should be used to outline the cork.Next, you need to apply craquelure from smallcracks It is applied using a synthetic brush, then after 3-4 hours we apply the second layer and wait until everything dries (3-4 hours). 2 hours will pass and you will see the first variants of cracks.Afterwards, we need to age our printout,using bitumen patina. We apply it using a soft crack, rubbing over the crack variants. After 40 minutes, we must apply artistic oil to the cotton pad and wipe off any excess that will remain from the patina. We will look great!
