Description of the work process
Before you can decorate the bottle, you need toremove all stickers except the foil that covers the cork (soak it in a bowl of water for a while). After the bottle is cleared of stickers, degrease it with nail polish remover.Pour the glue into a deep disposable container. If the glue is thick, dilute it with a little water.We soak the stocking in glue and put it on the bottle. We put the stocking on the bottle from the bottom up, placing itit so that part of the fabric drapes, and leaving a smooth surface for decoupage in one place. Leave it to dry for a long time. The fabric dries for a long time.We paint the entire surface with white paint. Dry it. We tear out the fragment of the napkin we need. We separate the upper part of it and put it on the file, generously spray it with water so that the napkin gets wet.We straighten the fragment on the file and transfer it tobottle together with the file, press, smooth, so that it fits tightly to the surface of the bottle. Remove the file, but not abruptly and not upwards, but parallel to the bottle.Coat with PVA glue. Let's dry it.We draw the general background of the bottle. We select, starting with light tones, moving to darker ones. We dry. We process the top of the bottle, cut off excess fabric, aligning the joint line.We tint the drapery with silver paint and also touch up the treated joint. As soon as the paint dries, we fix the entire work with varnish.The final stage: we coated the joint on the bottle neck with glue and glued on the decorative cord. The bottle is ready, a beautiful designer gift.
