We will need:
- any bottle of champagne
- degreaser
- self-adhesive paper
- scissors
- napkin for decoupage
- adhesive for decoupage
- acrylic white paint
- sponge
- acrylic paint for spot painting
- brush for glue and varnish
- varnish
- ribbons for decor
- Super glue
- patience, a little time and a great mood.
So, let's start with the fact that we need to prepare a bottle. We remove unnecessary labels from it and degrease it with an alcohol solution or acetone, or, as in my case, with a regular nail polish remover. For easy label removal, place the bottle in a bucket of cold water overnight. In the morning, you can easily remove the label if the champagne is of high quality.
From any self-adhesive paper, cut out a heart of arbitrary size.
And gently glue it on the bottle.
Getting to the coloring of the bottle. To do this, we need acrylic paint and any makeup sponge. Of course, you can purchase a special tool in art stores, but I decided to use a sponge, and the result met all expectations. We color the bottle using the “pruning” method. I think the name of the method very succinctly explains the process itself. I’ll only add that you need to pick up the paint on the sponge just a little bit and with frequent movements drop a bottle. Here's what happened after applying the first coat.
Let it dry, and apply a second coat of paint and get a uniformly colored bottle.
I do not paint the bottom of the bottle. You must admit that such bottles do not always open immediately. If you presented it to someone as a gift, then there is a high probability that this bottle will be postponed until a special occasion. Thus, leaving the bottom open, you allow the owners of the bottle to control the safety of the drink. If a precipitate occurs, then champagne will no longer be suitable for use. After the paint has completely dried, and the acrylic paint dries very quickly, remove the self-adhesive paper.
Paint for dot painting put small dots along the contour of the heart. By the way, here you can insert a photo of the person to whom you plan to give a bottle.
Getting started with a napkin. Hands gently break off the edges of the napkin and separate the top layer.
Put a napkin on the bottle, apply glue to the middle of the napkin. Using a brush, gently expel the air, level the napkin, gradually applying glue to the entire surface of the napkin. This is a painstaking process that requires attention and patience. Glued? Now mask the edges of the napkin with white paint, a sponge and a slight pruning on the edges of the napkin.
Getting to the decor. Glue a golden ribbon on the neck of the bottle.
We add paints and volume to our colors, drawing some lines with the same paint for spot painting. And cover the bottle with several layers of varnish.
Glue the tape as shown in the photo.
Add a bow and our bottle is ready.Photo from two sides.
