DECORATIVE KITCHEN BOTTLE

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 ...

Ingredients, indeed, can be very diverse: this is colored salt, bright vegetables and fruits, pasta, spices, coffee, even flowers.

Of course, such decorative bottles can be purchased in gift shops, but it is much more pleasant to make such a masterpiece with your own hands. Moreover, it will not take so much time, labor costs. And you will enjoy the creative process.

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 bottles with salt

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 colours(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 plug it with wax or sealing wax, cork and fantasize with the design of the neck of the bottle.

Not filled to the brim with bottles, but lonely herbal twigs, or hot Chilean peppers, look very elegant. 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.

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 every 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 your hands on 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% ethanol is fine instead of formalin, but your canned food can fade over time.

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. For sliced ​​oranges and lemons, low thick-walled honey jars with a pneumatic cork lid are suitable (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 in advance more colored wax or paraffin in order to fill it with a cork or lid. This will hide any imperfections (for example, 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 using formalin, fill each layer separately. In other cases, you can proceed as with conventional canning. Flowers, on the other hand, cannot be placed tightly, 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 dish 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.
