The master class will show you how to make a craft from a bottle, decorated in the style of decoupage with your own hands.
Today we will make not only something pleasing to the eyean interior item, but also a completely functional thing - a decorated bottle in a marine style. Without unnecessary complications (drawings and other artistic tricks), we will easily and quickly decorate the interior and raise the mood. The decorated bottle can be used: as a vase for a small bouquet with thin stems or a single flower; as a container for oil or vinegar, replacing the cork stopper with a special nozzle; as a bottle for storing wine or strong drinks. Such a thing is pleasant to put on the table, examine, take in hands. For decoration you will need:
- the actual glass bottle with a flat surface;
- varnish, glue and paints on a water basis;
- primer for glass or universal aerosol white paint;
- filler universal or structural paste;
- plastic stencils;
- napkins, printouts;
- sisal twine;
- hot glue gun;
- a hard brush and a piece of sponge or toplovka;
- for decoration - half beads, shells, pendants, etc.
We carefully and thoroughly wash the glass bottle inside and out, dry it and cover it with a thick layer of white paint or glass primer.We glue a napkin to the opposite partsthe desired motif. Considering the size (elongated narrow surface), it is more convenient to glue with a fan brush and water. To do this, you need to lay out the napkin motif on the surface, drop water into the middle of the motif and, lifting the left and right edges, evenly distribute the moisture over the motif, then use a fan brush with a drop of acrylic varnish or decoupage glue to expel air bubbles and folds.
On the remaining sides we glue the torn motif fromtext on a marine theme. Cover with acrylic varnish. You can glue it with acrylic varnish or decoupage glue. In this work, you do not need to thin the motif, since the border of the transition will then be covered with volumetric decor.
Next, we apply the stencil pattern with putty,we press decorations into the putty - half beads, chip boards, etc. You can make some swirls with a hard brush or a putty knife on the putty to get waves, imitation of seaweed or fish.
Dilute acrylic paint with water until it becomes liquid.condition. You can add a little acrylic varnish. Carefully and accurately paint over all the volumetric elements with a hard brush, trying not to touch the drawing on the napkin and printout. When the first layer dries, you can make the so-called color variability, smooth transitions from lighter to darker and vice versa. Add colors of a darker shade - cobalt blue, fluorescent blue, ultramarine, you can even add a drop of black. When everything dries well, apply literally a milligram of white on a dry brush and with very gentle movements, lightly touching the prominent elements, show the volume.
You can add a little mother of pearl as wellgo over the volumetric pattern with mother-of-pearl paint. At this stage, you can add some patterned elements with contours or make a couple of bright accents. The more shades, the more interesting the result will be.
We decorate the bottom with sisal twine on the gluegun. If you use another glue, there is a risk that the sisal will not hold its shape and while the glue dries, the whole structure will fall apart. In the middle, glue the tip to a drop of glue, wait for it to dry and make a “fastening”. Next, twisting the sisal thread, glue the bottom in a spiral. You can experiment with the decor of the bottom shape, but practice shows that the spiral shape is the most durable and convenient in everyday life.
We clean the neck from paint.Since we used non-toxic water-based materials - the bottle can also be used for food purposes. Insert the cork stopper and admire the interior update.
