Let's touch on such a popular direction of creativity today as painting on glass. Nowadays she has many admirers, and there are many who want to learn this art.

What to work with

So, let's look at the painting technique.

Apply contours

The bottle (washed, peeled and defatted with alcohol) will be adorned with decorative curls. You depict them in any shape you like, which your imagination suggests.

Using the white outline, draw the first curl on the bottle (the attachment is not applied yet, it will come in handy later). The hole in the contour will not allow you to get thin curls, but so far this is not required. Greasy curls will "collect" more sparkles.

Without waiting for the outline to dry (and it dries for about half an hour), carefully sprinkle it with sparkles. They should adhere well to the fresh contour. Some of the sparkles will inevitably be scattered around the contour, but you don't need to remove them now - you can smear the borders of the curl. They are removed only after all curls have dried, made sequentially in the same technique.

When you buy contours, you may be advised to those that already have sparkles. But they are already mixed with the main paint there, so they will not shimmer and shine so brightly.

Thus, it is better to choose the contour without sparkles, and apply them in the process of work already from above.

Little by little, the drawing will cover the whole bottle. This will not happen too quickly - in several stages. After all, in order to turn the bottle over and start painting its reverse side, you should wait for the final drying of the already treated surface.

Apply paint

When the drawing is completely transferred to the glass, and everything is dry, under the stream running water you should wash off unnecessary glitter and blot the product thoroughly with a rag. And only after that we start working with paints.

Using a paintbrush, fill in some of the curls on the bottle. You choose the color of the paint according to your own taste - one or several. It is better not to paint over all curls, since a monotonously painted bottle will not look spectacular.

Apply paint as carefully as possible, spreading evenly over the surface. Obvious strokes should not be visible. This process is also step-by-step, with breaks for complete drying.

Finishing touches

At the final stage, the contour nozzle will come in handy. With its help, are applied finishing touches, or rather a point. They will have to frame each curl around the edge. The elegance and extraordinary sophistication of the final result is given by the bottles, the stencil of which is selected taking into account the unity of the overall composition. You will immediately see how the product will play and become "voluminous".

Currently mural acrylic paints extremely popular, and it is precisely the dots that are the fashionable and winning option.

In conclusion, I would like to say that this beautiful type of decorative creativity is gaining more and more fans from year to year. The most real masterpieces of applied art are being created. And most importantly, their creators are provided with the joy of creativity and a good mood!

5 painting techniques

All types of painting can be conditionally divided into several techniques. Two of them are the main ones: this is the application of paint from the inside of the bottle and from the outside. Each method has its own disadvantages and advantages. For example, painting from the inside makes it possible to achieve a beautiful glow from the inside, but it limits the combination of colors and textures. And the surface painting gives full free rein to your imagination: here you can use stencils, make gradient color transitions, create textures. Choose the technique that you like.

Variety of bottle decoration options - room for your imagination

Competing glass manufacturers have always strived to make their products different from other products. Bottles of various shapes were invented, numerous differences appeared in their purpose, color and volume. You yourself can create something that will be remembered using old waste material. Decorating bottles can help you find a fun activity that unleashes your creativity. How to decorate a bottle with your own hands is described below.

Option 1. Composition "Flowers".

To decorate the bottle in this way, we only need glue and chocolate foil.
To begin with, the foil must be straightened, so it must be placed on a flat surface and straightened with a flat object. If there is no such thing nearby, the foil can be smoothed out simply by hand. True, this will take much more time.
Then the foil is carefully wrapped around the bottle. Wrinkles will form around the neck, this is normal. Only they should be distributed neatly over the entire radius of the bottle.
The main part is to create a foil composition that will display a bouquet of flowers. To do this, the remaining foil must be cut into long narrow strips. different sizes... Then these strips are rolled into a tourniquet - homemade foil ribbons are obtained.
Then it all depends on your imagination and sleight of hand. From the bundles made on the table, flowers are twisted, which are very similar to roses. The stem is one line of the bundle. To make the leaves, the cords need to be cut into small pieces and the two ends connected. Each created element is individually glued to the bottle.
The advantage of the foil is that it is very elastic in the hands, and the tourniquets resemble plasticine. From it you can create not only flower arrangements but also natural landscapes.

Option 2. Decoration with tissue paper, cloth and tourniquet.

The shape of the glass bottle is already there, you just need to decorate it. All that is required of you is the desire to do something very pretty. You just have to select the material with which you will decorate the bottles. For finishing materials spray and acrylic paints are used, capable of creating an impressive palette of colors to choose from. The methods of applying varnish to bottles are different: with a brush, swab, sprinkling. In any case, you will get your own unique surface in a variety of colors.
Before painting, the surface of the bottle must be decorated with tissue paper. It creates artificial folds and an embossed-like effect. Textiles will give you great opportunities for combining fabrics of different textures for color. Even without artistic inclinations, you can make bottle decor yourself using glue and twine (natural fibers). You can gradually wind the twine tightly to each other on the glue, and then paint the bottle with aerosol paints... Even an old lace napkin will do as a bottle decoration. It only needs to be pre-dyed in tea and starched.

Option 3. How to decorate bottles with your own hands using coffee beans or nutshells?

This is the most easy way that does not require virtually any special skills. Suitable even for someone who has never done anything with my own hands... You will need a glass bottle, glue, coffee beans. The label may remain on the bottle. If you have PVA glue, you can cover a small section of the bottle with it and glue the grains onto it in small groups. If you use Moment glue, then on each grain you must separately apply a drop of glue and glue them one by one. It is also recommended to sort the coffee beans by size and shape in advance - with the same beans, the pattern on the bottle will look better. You can do it with such a bottle without any problems.

Option 4. Decorating glass bottles with semolina.

In order to create a bottle decorated with semolina, you need to practice a little. After a couple of tries, you should be up to the task. You will need a glass bottle, glue, semolina, a disposable syringe, a stencil for drawing, varnish in an aerosol. First, remove the paper label. Then the bottle should be washed, dried and degreased. Then type PVA glue into a syringe without a needle and, using a stencil, apply a pattern. The stencil is best attached to the bottle with masking tape. Sprinkle semolina on wet glue. The pattern should not be applied all at once, but by small areas... When you have applied a little glue and sprinkled with semolina, you need to wait until the glue is completely dry. This usually takes three to four hours. Then we apply the next pattern. After the glue has completely dried, the varnish is applied in three to four layers. If you are already an experienced person, then you can apply drawings without a stencil at your discretion.

Option 5. You can decorate a bottle of champagne with your own hands with newsprint.

Bottles decorated with various paper

To do this, you will need: newspapers, PVA glue, acrylic paints and varnish. Paper label must be removed without fail, and the bottle should be washed and dried. Then you need to tear the newspaper into several parts and wrinkle it well. The next step is to smear the bottle with PVA glue. Then carefully cover the bottle with paper and try not to make the transitions abrupt. There should be no air under the paper, but wrinkles and wrinkles should form on the bottle. Next, you need to make patterns from the newspaper. Cut the paper into strips about three to four centimeters wide and roll into spiral bundles. The section of the bottle, on which the newspaper string will be applied, is smeared with glue and the pattern is carefully glued. Once the glue is dry, paint the bottle with acrylics. What color is yours.

Probably, every housewife thought: how can you decorate the kitchen, bring a special zest / peppercorn into the interior. For example, for the kitchen, the most important thing is to decorate the shelves with original decorative bottles. The bottles are filled with all sorts of ingredients ... more on that later ...

It is not a shame to give such bottles and put them in your kitchen on the most prominent shelf.

Let's get started?

There are many options, in addition to the flowers and vegetables listed above, you can use grain, seeds and various cereals:

Millet, millet,

In addition, very beautiful decorative bottles are obtained from spices. To do this, you just need to go to the bazaar, collect a little of everyone from the spice merchant and at home, very carefully, pour them into jars in layers.

Decorative Salt Bottles

Moreover, spices can be used as ground or not. And of course, if this is work from home, and not a hobby, you will need a lot of spices. So feel free to ask the seller for a discount.

Decorative bottle with salt

For creativity we need:

For onwash the bottle well, sterilize (about 3-5 minutes), dry.

Next, we prepare the bottle filler: sprinkle fine salt into containers, paint in different colors(i.e. salt in each container will have its own specific color), leave the salt to dry. For about a day, do not forget to mix and split the lumps.

Now that the salt has been prepared, let's get down to the fun part. We fall asleep in different colors of salt in such a sequence as you can imagine. We advise you to use the funnel when falling asleep.

Then close it with a cork and decorate with ribbons.

Decorative bottles onions with vegetables and fruits

For such compositions, you will need everything the same as in previous version but different fruits / vegetables are used instead of salt and gouache.

We also thoroughly rinse, sterilize and dry the bottle.

We fill with ingredients (as examples, we present you with photos of finished decorative bottles). Use knitting needles or Chinese chopsticks to keep everything neatly laid out.

We seal up with wax or sealing wax, cork and fantasize with the design of the neck of the bottle.

Not packed bottles look very elegant, but lonely herbal twigs, or hot chilean peppers. They are filled with oil.

Flowers in bottles also look beautiful.

The service life of such decorative creations is 2-3 years.

Be extremely careful if there are small children in the house. Move decorative bottles further and higher for safety reasons.

• Decorative bottles with cereals
• Corn - white, red, yellow,
• Rice - peeled, unpeeled, dark, long, round,
• Wheat - whole, peeled, grated, semolina,
• Sorghum,
• Lentils,
• Peas - whole, halves,
• Chickpea,
• Buckwheat,
• Oats,
• Beans - red, white, brown, variegated, small and large,
• Seeds - pumpkin, sunflower, watermelon, melon.
  • Glass bottle, preferably some interesting and sophisticated shape.
  • Fine salt.
  • Gouache paints.
  • Brush or spatula.
  • Original cork.
  • Ribbons.

Several recommendations for making decorative bottles with fruits and vegetables.

You can preserve everything. But jars with homemade products are unlikely to be able to decorate your home, even if you try very hard to give them a presentation. After all, food is food, and its place is in the closet. And what if you try to make canned food, the only purpose of which is to give comfort to your kitchen, and maybe even a living room

Look for dishes, or 4 rules for rolling

Rule number 1. Not any food product can be rolled up for beauty. Excludes: cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers.
What can and should be "rolled up"? For example, flowers. Yes, flowers, including roses, left over from festive bouquets! Small multi-colored bitter peppers, small mushrooms, tinted garlic, beans, tiny unripe carrots, paradise apples, oranges, lemons, radishes also look very beautiful.

Rule number 2. Do not use vinegar as a preservative. It changes the color of the raw material, it seems to fade, it becomes yellowish or greenish, in general, it looks somehow boring. Try to get hold of medical formalin. The perfect thing! Vegetables and fruits will stay bright, juicy, and the cans will never explode. The main thing is not to heat the solution and work with it in a respirator and rubber gloves... 70% ethyl alcohol is fine instead of formalin, but over time your canned food can fade.

Another option is a strong solution of gelatin with sugar, about 1/1, but it can be used only for fruits and flowers, vegetables in such a solution look bad.

Rule number 3. Don't use regular glass jars. You are not going to then open and eat your creations. Get out the original container! Any little things like garlic or mushrooms can be neatly placed through the neck into a beautiful transparent glass bottle. Find fancy chemical flasks - great! They look unusual and immediately attract attention. Low thick-walled honey jars with pneumatic cork lids are suitable for sliced ​​oranges and lemons (honey in such a container is often sold in large supermarkets). In general, look for dishes! The more original it is in itself, the more interesting your canned food will look.

Rule number 4. You do not need special tightness, but, nevertheless, it is worth preparing more colored wax or paraffin in advance in order to fill it with a cork or lid. This will hide any imperfections (for example, that the lid looks cheap) and gives the blanks a noble antique look.

Layer by Layer
We put the necessary raw materials in a cleanly washed and dried container. It can be uniformly or in layers, but not mixed. It looks beautiful if a layer of, for example, lemon slices is alternated with a layer of rose petals or garlic.

When packing in the final container, try not to leave free space, your "blanks" should not float in the jar. If you are using formalin, fill each layer separately. In other cases, you can proceed as with conventional canning. Flowers, on the other hand, cannot be tightly packed, they should, as it were, hang inside the vessel. Some masters recommend a very strong saline solution for them, but this is quite risky.

After pouring, close the lid and carefully, heating the wax in a tablespoon, pour it. You should not be afraid of picturesque influxes, they will only decorate the product. After the end of the work, the bank should stand for at least a week in a dark, cool place.

And now the most important thing: where to put your decorative canned food? A counter question: why is it necessary to put it? You can do it differently. Buy more metal clamps from the hardware store for water pipes, according to the diameter corresponding to your dishes. The "clamp" is carefully wrapped in parchment or a piece of burlap, tightened tightly on the neck of a jar or bottle and is fastened to the wall with a screw. True, if the vessel is very pot-bellied, it is better to put it on a shelf or cabinet, since it will look bad when hung. The ideal thing is flat cognac bottles, they can hang at least all the walls!

If you did everything right, your canned food will serve you indefinitely. You can't eat them, but even in the fierce winter they will remind you of summer and make your home warm and cozy.
