It is not necessary to buy a gift for March 8 to your beloved mother, sister, friend in the store. You can make such a neat and high-quality handmade, that no expensive trinket can compare with it in beauty, and this little thing will remind you of children's handicraft. Decor bottles for March 8 is becoming a common type of needlework. Wine or champagne is considered a standard gift that comes with a bouquet of flowers. So, why not make it the original author's decoration, which is not ashamed to put in a room in a prominent place? Working with glass is quite simple: it is enough to clean and degrease it. Consider a few detailed master classes for decorating bottles, after which the usual packaging will be difficult to learn.
Candy bottle decoration
One of the easiest and most popular options for decorating bottles with sweets is making decorative pineapple. To work will require:
- Candies.
- Glue gun.
- Crepe paper green color for leaves.
- Green satin ribbon.
- Scissors.
For an exotic fruit fit any sweets round shape. In order to stylize a pineapple for a holiday, it is enough to choose candies with wrappers of two colors: some will become the background, and from others you can form a symbolic figure eight. To start the glass container is cleaned from the label. You can skip this step if you use yellow paper cut into small straws. It is randomly glued onto the glass, thus filling the future gaps between the candies. Now proceed to gluing tails on candy wrappers. They are carefully fixed on one of the sides of the candy to make perfect balls. Then sweets are glued directly to the bottle itself. Start from the bottom. The second row is laid in staggered order over the first, so that the gaps remain as small as possible. Candy themselves are closely pressed to each other. After the last row reaches the neck, proceed to the manufacture of leaves. Crepe paper cut out oblong fragments. They are glued to the neck, and the top is wound with a satin ribbon with a flirty bow. It remains only to "pull" crepe leaves with scissors so that they slightly curl and bend. Such a removable decor will eventually be mercilessly eaten by sweets, but for a couple of weeks the bottle will still be painted on the "front" place in the apartment.
To decorate a bottle of champagne will need approximately 600-700 g of candy. Instead of leaves of crepe paper, you can use the cut off the top of this pineapple.
Polymer clay flower decoration
A bottle of sparkling wine or champagne can be decorated with flowers made of polymer clay. The work will be divided into two stages:
- Making jewelry.
- Decorating a bottle.
Polymer clay is ideal for beginners. Although the "classic" material requires roasting, now this name is used to designate a group of self-hardening compositions. Only small-sized products are made of polymer clay. With the help of scissors, tweezers and needles you can create neat clover heads, tender orchid or lily buds, miniature roses. For bottle decoration, two or three types of polymer colors are usually used, so that the decor does not look poor and boring. Although no one limits the imagination of the master: if there is enough assiduity, you can collect a full bouquet of field herbs.
To make a clover of polymer clay, take exactly rolled ball of white. It is wrapped with a rolled "pancake" of lilac or pink shade. The tips carefully pinch and level the surface. Now manicure scissors make triangular cuts across the entire surface of the future flower, starting from its base. At the same time observe the chess order of the petals, like a real clover. Then each incision is gently bent off from the base and slightly pulled. The neat petals of the inflorescence are obtained: pink on the outside and white on the inside, like a real clover.
To create a simple flower you need only polymer clay of the same color and a special tool with a ball at the end. The future basis is first rolled into a ball, and then smoothed to the state of "pancake". From a large piece of polymer clay, it is gradually pinch off, the balls are rolled up, and then with force they press with the tip of the tool. Neat circles with a thickened border are obtained. These petals are fixed on the basis of rows in a staggered manner. It is advisable to create four or five rows to get a lush flower. In the center you can use a round bead-middle of a different shade.
The bottle in hot water is cleaned from the label, carefully remove the layer of glue. Then on the surface you can apply paint from a can (for example, silver), wrap with tapes or cloth. When the background is ready, proceed to fixing floral decorations. Put them on glue. For the composition, it is usual to choose a place in the center (where the front label used to be) or closer to the neck. Additionally, the bouquet is decorated with crepe paper sheets or green satin ribbons.
Decorate the bottle with a cloth
A bottle can be decorated with a cloth using any textile (nylon, linen, silk). The skin will look stylish and luxurious. Before wrapping the fabric is soaked in a glue compound. Then it is applied to the glass, but not tightly. The resulting wrinkles will give the product an extra relief. Décor of bottles with a cloth is often combined with decoupage technique. For the manufacture of a delicate gift for a young girl, you can use twine (thick fleece thread for tying paper bags), burlap and white lace. The bottle is cleaned of labels, sprayed over it with silver paint from a can or sprinkled with glitter pre-applied adhesive composition. When the surface dries, the container is partially wrapped with sacking, which is fixed with glue. On the sides, a rough decor is set off with white lace stripes of lace. Complement the decoration with a bow of several threads of twine on the neck, white beads, textile flowers.
To decorate the bottle with ribbons or bake, you only need fabric strips and glue. You can not even remove the label. Begin work with a neck. The tape is wrapped around the glass surface along an oblique line (the back is well above the tips). The ends are trimmed, then a new ribbon layer is placed on top. It is possible to "dress" the bottle in such a way to the very bottom. The decor is complemented with flowers, beads, buttons, bows, although the combination of ribbons of different colors allows you to create a self-sufficient "costume" that does not need additional decorations.
Decoupage technique
Decoupage refers to one of the favorite techniques for beginners decorating. Images are applied only on a smooth, pre-treated surface. Remove the label from the bottle, then wipe the glass with acetone or alcohol to degrease. After that, apply a layer of primer (acrylic paint), the color of which is well combined with the gamut of the selected picture (a shade lighter). Then take a three-layer napkin (magazine clipping) and separate the colorful facial layer. It is impregnated with glue and immediately applied to the surface or first soaked in water (several options).
Some masters prefer drawing not to cut, but “pull out” in the literal sense of the word. Then the edges of the napkin on the bottle will not be noticeable. After applying the picture it is carefully leveled, removing unnecessary air bubbles.
It is important to know. Additionally, the bottle can be "putty". Take a stencil and put a thick layer of putty on the glass. Relief drawing paint over the background color. Usually use a thin tie or ornament with floral motifs. Decoupage bottle is perfectly combined with decorating fabric.
Coloring
The bottle is usually painted to create a beautiful background on which the main decorations will look better. Acrylic paints are bought for glass. It is possible to paint a bottle both inside and outside. For interior work, the composition is simply poured through the neck and carefully shaken the container so that it is evenly distributed. Then the bottle is turned upside down and the excess paint is allowed to drain, and the one that remains on the walls is dried. To paint the glass outside, you can use brushes and sponges. Drawing is applied using a stencil. Those areas that should remain intact, you can glue masking tape. Coloring from a can allows you to apply an even layer without brush strokes. The same method will help to get the effect of ombre (color gradation), since each subsequent layer accurately falls on the previous one, and the master controls the intensity of the color. Glitter will create a bright, festive decor. Sparkles applied to the surface, which is pre-lubricated with glue. Unnecessary pieces shake. It is better to work on a newspaper, since waste can be collected and gently poured back into a jar for reuse.
Composition of fresh flowers and a bottle of wine / champagne
A bottle of wine or champagne can be presented in a simple box wrapped in paper and decorated with a bow. Usually a bouquet of flowers is attached to such a gift. And what if both of these presentations combine? It will turn out the magnificent gift issued by the hands. Bottles are usually placed in wicker baskets. In addition to flowers, fruits are picturesquely arranged in them. First, the basket is wrapped inside with a transparent film. Then a piece of floral sponge is customized (trimmed) to the shape of a woven container. Such a "foundation" will not only keep the components of the bouquet in the desired position, but also disinfects the water that will feed the stems, which will keep the flowers longer. The sponge is placed in the basket. The edges of the transparent film are wrapped inside.
Then proceed to the formation of a bouquet: start from the edges, placing decorative twigs (medicinal asparagus, pistas). When most of the basket is filled with greenery, flowers are inserted into the sponge - the basis of the composition. Here the choice is limited only by the imagination of the master. The bouquet consists of small roses, lilies, gerberas, asters, peonies, tulips. The shorter the stem and the smaller the leaves on it, the more water the buds will get, which means the longer they will stand. Bouquet complement a bottle of wine and fruit. Alternatively, this decor can be placed in one side of the basket, and flowers in the other.
Conclusion
Very young girls will be pleased with a gift from a bottle filled with small sweets, chewing gums or "toffee". As a rule, such containers are partially painted on the outside using masking tape. You can decorate bottles with any available materials: buttons, accessories, pieces of waste fabric, bows, beads, coins, netting, yarn. A gift made with your own hands will “warm the soul” of the recipient more than any item purchased. Perhaps, because the donor puts a piece of heat into his work and clearly shows that he does not regret for his beloved the most valuable thing - free time.
