New Year's painting of a bottle
A bottle of champagne or wine is excellent.New Year's gift, that's just pretty banal. But if you decorate the bottle, then such a gift immediately becomes exclusive. One of the relatively simple and affordable ways to decorate a bottle is New Year's painting.
Many believe that the New Year's painting of bottles -not for them, because they can not draw. But in the painting on the glass you can use templates and stencils, so that more important are accuracy and perseverance than artistic abilities. New Year's painting is a great way to decorate a bottle, practice a little, and you will get real masterpieces.
Before you paint a bottle, you must remove the paper label from it. To do this, you need to soak the bottle in a coldwater. When the paper becomes wet and begins to peel off, gently clean it from the glass. And the remnants of paper and glue can be washed off with a dishwashing detergent. Wipe the prepared bottle dry and degrease with alcohol or acetone, to better lay down the paint. Try not to touch the fat-free bottle without the need.
New-year painting can be done with acrylic or stained-glass paints. Acrylic paints are usually opaque, stained glass - transparent. What colors to work, you decide. In either case, you first need to make a sketch of the drawing. You can draw it yourself, translate it through a photocopy, or find a picture on the Internet and print it on the printer. Then the picture needs to be cut.
If you prefer New Year's painting with acrylic, you can color before paintingbottle, making a color background, and paint on this layer of paint. The textured "snowy" background looks beautiful. To make it, white acrylic paint should be applied not with a brush, but with a foam rubber sponge, quickly applying it to the bottle. When the background dries, you can start painting.
There are two options for transferring the pattern to the bottle when working with acrylic. You can attach the cut out picture to theglass, gently circle it with a brush, and then paint. And you can make a stencil, then the pattern will correspond to the hole cut in a piece of paper. Attach the stencil to the bottle, fix it with a paint tape and apply paint with a wide brush or foam sponge (instead of it you can take a cosmetic sponge).
New Year's Eve painting with stained-glass paints done a little differently. First you need to choose the right colors. Do not take paints on a water basis, you need alcohol, they are not afraid of water and stay longer. In addition, stained-glass paints are fired and non-combustible. Take non-combustible, you're not going to put a bottle of champagne in the oven?
At first attach the drawing to the bottle and circle it with a contour. There are contours in the form of tubes and markers, colorcan choose black, golden and silver. It is very important to apply the contour without lifting your hand and not interrupting the line. Allow the contour to dry (this can take from half an hour to three hours, the time must be indicated on the package).
Then fill the pattern inside the contour with paint. Typically, the colors are squeezed out of the tube or appliedbrush. If you bought a liquid paint, put the bottle horizontally and only then paint, so that the paint does not spread out. If you make a mistake when applying a contour or paint, moisten the cotton swab in a solvent and quickly remove the blemish. Bubbles of air in the paint are removed with a toothpick.
Allow the paints to dry. Acrylic dries for about a day, stained-glass paints - about six hours. Fix the paint with a clear acrylic lacquer for the glass and allow it to dry too.
But this New Year's painting does not end, because the New Year - it's chic and shine, so be sure to decorate the bottle with sequins. You can use special glitters in tubes, and you can mix PVA glue with a lot of sparkles and carefully apply a brush.
You can accurately paste on the bottle small beads and rhinestones with a transparent glue, and to tie an elegant bow on the neck. In general, fantasize, and your gift will necessarily be the most original!
New-year painting on glass can be used not only to decorate bottles. Beautifully painted New Year candlesticks or glasses will also be a wonderful gift for the New Year.
