Material preparation
To do decoupage, prepare materials and tools:
- a glass half-liter bottle, the same as for a marine style and made of leather;
- a three-layer napkin with a thematic picture (it is better to buy a special one);
- acrylic water-dispersion paint of white color;
- PVA glue;
- varnish glossy water-soluble;
- a new sponge for washing dishes;
- soft brush;
- decorative rope;
- large beads or pendants;
- scissors;
- nail polish remover;
- cotton wool;
- disposable utensils for glue.
How to make decoupage from napkins on a bottle
First, soak the discarded bottle in warm water for one hour to soak the label paper. Clear glass from paper.
As a rule, glue remains on the surface, which is problematic to wash off with water. Use nail polish remover to completely remove residue. Dry the dish.
Cut the dishwashing sponge into two pieces.
Before you decoupage a glass bottle with a napkin, create a uniform background. This will hide possible errors when gluing the picture. Apply white acrylic water-based paint to the surface.
Paint do not sponge, but make frequent tangential movements, as if “bang”. Wait for the paint to dry completely.
Select a drawing. A suitable option may be photos of cities, cars, all kinds of geographical maps, images of large and strong animals, fish. Consider the character of the man, his hobbies and your relationship with him.
If this is a loved one, then romance is acceptable, if a colleague or boss, then everything should be in a strict style. Peel off the top layer carefully.
Wrap the bottle with a colored layer of napkin and determine which fragment will be needed for decoupage. Carefully tear it off with your fingers. You can cut it off, but then the edge will be clearly visible on the craft. It is better to cut with a margin, and then cut off the edges.
Dilute PVA glue with water in a one-to-one ratio in a disposable container. Lay the fragment face down on a stationery file. Gently stretching the napkin, apply diluted PVA glue with a brush.
Attach the drawing on the file to the glass. Remove the file carefully. Use a brush with glue to correct the drawing where necessary.
While the glue dries, prepare the pendant for decoration.
Since the image of one of the cities of Cuba, which at the beginning of the last century was the center of the gambling business, was chosen, beads in the form of dice and chips were taken as pendants in this bottle decoupage master class.
Coat the surface of the craft with varnish.
Tie the pendant by tying the neck with a rope in several rows.
Decorate the cork if you like. It also needs to be pre-coated with acrylic paint.
