Bottle decoration by own hands

Bottle decor is a rather popular service. People order specially decorated bottlesfor weddings, banquets, theme parties. You probably have seen bottles of wedding champagne, "dressed in costumes" of the bride and groom. Unfortunately, hand-decorated bottles often cost a lot. If you want to save money and find an interesting hobby, try the decor of bottles yourself.

Decorating bottles can be done in a variety of ways. Someone decorates them with labels or appliqués in the scrapbooking technique, someone masteres decoupage of bottles, someone knits crochets for bottles, someone paints them with acrylic paints.

We suggest you learn how to do decor of bottles with natural materials - twine, semolina and newsprint. Very interesting bottles are obtained, which can be used as original vases.

Decor of bottles with a twine

This is perhaps one of the easiest ways to decorate bottles. For such decor we will need:

• twine


• adhesive (PVA and "Moment")


• coffee beans, beans, etc.


• decorative cord

Gently remove the label from the bottle, remove itresidues of paper and glue, degrease the surface. We cover the surface of the bottle with an even layer of PVA glue and wind the twine on it. It is important that the coils are flat and dense, there are no gaps between them.

When the glue dries, decorate the twine with decorative elements - coffee beans, beans, decorative cord. For these purposes it is more convenient to use the glue "Moment".

Decor of bottles with semolina

To make the bottle decor with semolina, we will need:

• actually semolina


• PVA glue


• varnish in aerosol


• rhinestones, sequins, glitter


• disposable syringe

First remove the label and residues from the bottleglue, previously soaked in cold water. I wash my bottle with soap and wipe it carefully. We recruit PVA glue in a disposable syringe without needles and draw on the bottle the desired pattern. While the glue does not dry up, densely sprinkle the pattern with semolina and wait until the glue dries.

The bottle is best dried in a horizontalposition, so do not try to make the whole pattern at once. First, we will draw a part of the pattern, wait 3-5 hours until the mancha comes to rest, and proceed to the other part of the pattern. When the whole pattern is drawn, and the bottle is completely dried, gently blow off the extra manga. We cover the bottle with several layers of varnish in an aerosol and paste to it the rhinestones and sequins.

If the drawing did not work out, and independentlyI can not draw a pattern, I'll have to use a stencil. For this we find a picture that I would like to see on the bottle. Print out the picture and transfer it to waterproof thin material (for example, oilcloth). Cut out the stencil, glue it to the bottle with a paint tape. We spread the "gaps" in the stencil with PVA glue, densely sprinkle with a manga and wait for the drying. When the bottle has dried, remove the stencil.

In a similar way, the decor of the eggshell. Before decorating, the shell must be prepared: remove the inner film from it and grind it. You can paint the shell in advance, but you can cover the already finished bottle with a bottle.

Bottle decoration with newsprint

To decorate the bottle with newsprint, we will need:

• newsprint


• PVA glue


• acrylic paints


• lacquer

The label from the bottle can not be removed - it's allit will be equally sealed with layers of paper, and will not perform. We spread the bottle with glue and begin to paste it with newsprint. Paper can not be cut, but tear, so that the transitions between different pieces are more smooth. We crumble a piece of newspaper, apply it to the bottle and glue it on top again. We smooth it with our fingers so that there are no air bubbles under the paper, and we form wrinkles and wrinkles with our fingers. So we paste the whole bottle with paper.

Now we begin to make relief patterns. For this, we cut the paper with strips and turn each stripe into a tight bundle. Once again, we spread the area of ​​the bottle with the glue, on which we want to place the pattern, and glue the paper bundle in the form of a curl, a stem, etc.

When the bottle is completely dry, cover it with acrylic paint in several layers. At the end of the work we cover the bottle with varnish and let it dry. Done!
