Drawing on glass is not like drawing on paper. You need to adapt, adapt, pick up paints. Let each color dry and then apply the next.

But you can also make the bottle opaque. To do this, it is primed, and then they begin to decorate. This can be done not only with paint from a spray can, but also with an ordinary sponge, dipping it into the paint. When the bottle is completely dry, then proceed to the next stage of decorating.

Its essence is that fragments of drawings already drawn by artists are taken and glued to the object that you want to decorate. You can use three-layer napkins, from which the top paint layer is removed and carefully glued to the bottle using PVA glue, diluted one to one with water. With a regular sponge, we press the napkin against the bottle and make sure that there are no wrinkles and bubbles. When the napkin is dry, cover the bottle with acrylic varnish. You can paint on some details, for example, paint the neck of a bottle or apply stripes around the bottom with a brush.

You need to wrap an elastic band around the bottle. This must be done carefully so that the layers of the gum lay tightly against the glass and do not tuck anywhere.
The bottle must then be placed in a protected location. If the painting takes place outdoors, you must choose an area free of wind and dust so that dirt does not fall on the freshly applied paint. To do this, you can use cardboard from old box... The paint is evenly applied to the bottle and left to dry completely.

After the paint is completely dry, the bottle must be greased with glue. Pour the salt onto paper and roll the bottle over it. Then leave to dry. When the glue is dry, you can remove the gum. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the layers of paint and salt.

Bright bottles will become a highlight of any interior. Such a vase can decorate both the bedroom and the living room and the kitchen.

The fourth option for the decor of a glass bottle: water drops

Conclusion

The video in this article contains Additional materials on the topic, and in the comments you can ask any questions you are interested in.

For any person, a house is considered a territory of personal space, which the owner designs in accordance with his preferences and taste. It is in the house with the help of small details that a balance of comfort and functional convenience is achieved. A pinch of imagination, a few spoons of free time, a couple of pieces of patience, half a glass of creativity and a recipe for the perfect decoration of your home is ready. Decorating bottles with your own hands refers to the type of decorating activity that is now commonly called "hand-made", that is, something made with your own hands. Quite often, we throw away used things or objects that, it would seem, have already served their purpose and do not have the right to a second life.

Decorating bottles or "recipes" for their design can pleasantly surprise you with originality, beauty and sophistication.

In fact, this is just a container, which in itself is not of interest, however, with the help of simple materials glass bottles can be used to make lamps, candlesticks, flower vases, shades, painted pencil holders, lampshades, feeders for feathered guests.

Chandelier made of cut wine bottles

Candlesticks can be made of three types: ordinary for long candles, which require only decoration on the glass; candlesticks covering a candle with a cut-off bottom; mounted with a cut-off bottom, in which the candle is mounted on a special chain stretched through the neck.

The most original vases are obtained from under the bottles with cut necks: cuts on several bottles are made under different angles and the set turns out original composition in the style of minimalism.

If the colors of the glass are beautifully selected, then you don't even need to paint. Nowadays, the use of bottles as supporting "sides" of shelves is very popular. V wooden shelves or countertops drilled holes with a diameter under the neck of the bottle and "put" on an empty glass container, which holds excellently. Some on the upper tiers insert dried flowers and cute trinkets into open necks.

Preparation and rules for cutting glass

Before you start decorating the bottle, it must be cleaned of labels or possible remnants of the contents. To do this, the glass must be dipped in hot (but not boiling) water and kept in a bowl for several minutes. After the adhesive under the label looses its grip, you can wash the paper with a sponge. Now the glass has become clean and it is necessary to decide whether it is necessary to cut the container and, if necessary, in what way. The simplest is to cut the bottle with a special glass cutter. If this tool is not available, you can use a slightly time consuming but effective method.

To do this, you will need:

• Severe thread;
• Alcohol-containing substance (You can use White Spirit);
• A bowl of hot water;
• A bowl of cold water;
• Matches.

The bottle at the site of the future cut must be wrapped in several layers with a coarse thread, well impregnated with an alcohol-containing solution. The thread needs to be set on fire and while it is burning, quickly rotate the container. Then put her in hot water, hold for about four minutes, pull out sharply and dip in cold water.

The temperature difference will provoke the appearance of a crack in the place marked by the thread. The only drawback with this method may not be quite even cut... If you want perfect precision, you will need to use a glass cutter.

Drawing a picture

The material is ready, the necessary cuts are made; now you can start the most creative part of the decorating work. If you don't know how to draw, this will not be a major obstacle.

You can always find sketches of the drawing on the Internet and use the ready-made works of talented masters. It's easy to decide on paints: the most the best option are considered stained glass paints specially designed for glass.

To work with stained glass paints, you need a degreaser, which needs to be lubricated before applying paints. You can also use acrylic, but the effect of it will be somewhat different: acrylic will not completely paint over the glass, no matter how many layers you apply.

The next item will be the choice of the style in which the painting will be made. Now the most popular are considered dot painting and stained glass painting. The first is characterized by the application of a pattern in small droplets-dots, for the second - an almost indistinguishable resemblance to mosaic glass, molded from separate pieces of different colors. Combining techniques requires a certain amount of preparation and a "well-trained hand" in drawing.

If you find it difficult to jump off the bat, you should practice on paper. For novice artists, it is important to remember that the large details of the drawing are drawn first, and the little things are left for the final stage. You should stock up on cotton swabs, with which you can correct minor flaws.

Pasting as a way to decorate

Another great option for designing a bottle with your own hands can be pasting glass with various trifles: from silk ribbons and rhinestones to buttons and beads. Bottle decor using ordinary twine is very popular.

The thread is glued to the glass in layers and a compositional pattern is created using various swirls. The result is a semi-antique effect with rustic motives. These bottles will look great in the kitchen.

Decorating bottles with jute

Specifically for this room, you can fill a transparent container with peas, corn grains, chopped carrots and pour all this food variety with heated 9% vinegar. You need to lay out pieces of food in layers, this will help to achieve a slender composition. You can plug it either with a regular cork, or with a cork covered with fabric (most often with a checkered pattern), and wrap it with twine on top.

Several of these bottles and cans will become original design solution that will adorn kitchen shelf.

To work you will need:
