Two bottles of champagne for newlyweds have long become a tradition: one is supposed to be opened on the first wedding anniversary, the second on the birth of the first child. Will the sparkling liquid be drunk and the container in the trash? Of course not, if on the day of the wedding the guests present the bride and groom with original decorated bottles!
It is necessary
Bottles, decoupage paper, baked paints in glass granules ("creative granules") and glue for them, design film (Italian "Sospeso Trasparente" or other), PVA glue, double-sided print of butterflies (or cut pictures), acrylic varnish, fine wire, beads, cotton swab, alcohol or dishwashing detergent, hair dryer
Instructions
Step 1
Degrease the bottle necks by wiping with cotton pads moistened with alcohol or a sponge with dishwashing detergent. Apply creative granule glue to the necks. Then distribute the granules themselves over the top of the bottle at small intervals. Wipe off any glue drips with a cotton swab. After the glue, immediately rinse the brush with hot water and detergent. After the glued granules are completely dry, dry the bottles with a hairdryer.
Step 2
Put the butterflies in water for 10-15 minutes. Then attach them to the foil with decoupage glue. It is also better to degrease the film before gluing butterflies. After completely dry, carefully cut out the pictures. Add volume to them by heating over a small candle at a height of 2 cm. Move the butterflies over the flame in a circular motion until a slight deformation begins, and then give them a natural look with the round end of a ballpoint pen. Everything must be done quickly: the film remains elastic for no longer than a couple of seconds!
Step 3
Start decorating bottles with decoupage paper using PVA glue. Tearing off small pieces, first glue the areas between the beads of paint on the glass. Connect the pieces of paper either end-to-end or with minimal overlap. On flat areas, you can glue larger pieces, on convex or concave - smaller ones. This will help avoid creases.
Step 4
When the bottles are completely covered with paper, apply acrylic varnish on them (at least 5 - 6 layers). Butterflies should be covered with the same varnish.
Step 5
Put the last layer of varnish using beads. Decorate the butterflies (also with the help of varnish) with wire and beads and glue them to the bottles.
