Recently, a friend decided to get married. I puzzled for a long time over the gift, and then I remembered about my hobby. It was decided to craft a miniature bride from a bottle of champagne. Having gone shopping and figured out how much such a product will cost in a store, I came to the conclusion that it will be very good present.
So, for the bride I needed the following materials:
Satin ribbons with a width of 5, 2.5 and 0.6 cm in white and blue;
champagne bottle;
-glue universal "moment";
-scissors;
-lighter;
-thin lace;
-decorative mesh;
-decorative heart-shaped half beads;
-decorative flowers.

materials


First of all, cut off the strip of the widest ribbon.

cut the strip


Its length should be approximately equal to three revolutions around the neck of the bottle. Then, without making an explicit bend on it, fold it in half and stitch the edges with a continuous thread.

flashing the edges


Having pulled the thread a little, we make a collar that will fit snugly to the neck in the right place, and glue it with the seam down.

In order to securely hide the seam, measure out a piece of tape of medium width that will hide all this.

On top of it we glue another similar segment so that all the dark places are hidden.

stick tapes


Thus, we measure and stick the tape until the bottle stops expanding.

That part of the future bride, which is even, just wrap it with tape and fix it with glue.

We begin to decorate the dress. To do this, I decided to use a decorative grid "gold" and thin lace. We measure two segments equal to the circumference of the bottle.

I decided to stick them in such a way as to form the waist of the bride.

The left circle will be the hat margins, and the right one will be the top. For convenience, on the top of the future hat, cut off the blades through one.

On the lower part, we carefully bend the blades up.

We glue a strip of cardboard into the cylinder and glue it with white paper.

I decided to simplify the work and pre-cut segments of the middle tape of the desired length.

cut pieces of middle tape


They first pasted over the fields above and below, and then wrapped the central part. It turned out pretty well.

Well, now we decorate the hat itself. For this, as a veil, I used the same mesh.

On the top of the hat, I made a pattern using all the same kanzashi petals, decorative flowers and half beads.
