- A beautifully shaped bottle.
- Linen cord in white.
- Decorative materials (beads, colored glass, chains, buttons in a marine style, coins, figurines on a marine theme, artificial algae).
- Natural material (multi-colored sea pebbles, aquarium soil, large and small shells, corals).
- Glue ("Titan", "Moment Installation" transparent).
Coming from a holiday from warm places, we almost always bring shells, pebbles, corals, etc. with me. I propose to make a decorative bottle out of them that will remind you of the rest. If you choose a bottle with a cork, then it will be possible to pour in the hotels brought from the rest for storage, you can also give it to loved ones.
1. Prepare all the necessary materials. Wash and dry the bottle.
2. We begin to stick the cord from the bottom of the bottle. Glue "Titan" is applied to the bottle in a circle with a narrow strip (about 2-3 cm.) And glue the cord laying it closely one after another. Periodically, it is necessary to check the horizontalness of the turns, avoiding undulations, the further, the more difficult the alignment will be.
3. After the whole bottle is covered with a cord, it is necessary to wrap the cap, laying the cord on the adhesive, starting from the side surface, gradually moving to the top, completely cover the top of the cap with the cord, securing it in the center.
4. Now we will begin to decorate the bottle. We determine the area that will be decorated, outline an approximate drawing. For fasteners, we use the Instant Installation glue transparent (you can also use the glue gun, but in this case it will not be possible to move the shells to a better place). First, glue large shells and stones. Bulky shells and pebbles are best fixed at the bottom of the bottle. After this, you need to wait a while for the glue to freeze (20 minutes).
5. Next, we begin to fill the remaining space with small pebbles, shells, corals. Again we wait about 20 minutes. We carefully look at where there are empty places or bumps, glue even small shells, you can also use fragments of shells, for decorative purposes they also look pretty. When you are satisfied with the picture that has developed in front of you, you can start decorating with coins, colored glass, beads, chains, and you can also use multi-colored aquarium soil. But we must bear in mind that the main "actors" in our decor should be sea "finds", the amount of color decor should be minimal.
6. But the neck of the bottle I separately tied the cord, wrapping it three times, tied knots at the ends, so as not to dissolve. I also attached a crab, some artificial algae, pieces of coral.
Once the bottle is framed, you can decorate the cap. I used a button in a marine style (with an anchor pattern), maybe you can find a small anchor. On top you can attach a figurine of a sailboat or whatever you want in a marine style. We close the bottle cap and admire the result.
