Master class on decorating bottles in decoupage technique
The decoration of bottles with their own hands can be made in the technique of decoupage. Such creativity will prove to be interesting and will not cause any special difficulties. Using the instructions, create an original decor for the house or decoration for the holiday will not be difficult. For work it is necessary to use:

- brush number 12;
- a sponge foam or sponge;
- napkins for decoupage;
- white marker;
- stained-glass paints;
- a deep cup for diluting the glue.
Step 1 - First, the bottle is cleaned, and its surface is degreased. Labels from the container can be removed by elementary soaking for the night. Then the paper is easily removed with a hard washcloth. Remains of the adhesive can be removed with any solvent, including acetone. After the bottle has dried, you can start forming the composition. Always stylish and sophisticated look prints with roses, as on a napkin, presented below.
Step 2 - Draw the hands to cut off at the edge and attach to the bottle, to roughly imagine what the composition will look like. The marker marks the place of the future location of the napkin.
Step 3 - Working with the cloth. Chintz should be cut into arbitrary strips. Excellent if the material is old and a little shabby. This fabric is very thin and pliable in work. It will allow to form refined and elegant folds. The picture in this case does not play a role, because then it will have to be painted over.
Step 4 - The chintz strip is soaked in the PVA glue. For convenience in operation, it is recommended to pour the liquid into a deep container. Very thick adhesive should not be used. It can be diluted if necessary with water in a ratio of 1: 1.
Step 5 - Tissue strips need to be squeezed slightly, after which they are fixed onto the bottle. To decoupage turned stylish and beautiful, you should create wrinkles with your hands. There are no rules here - you should act arbitrarily. But the place designated as a drawing should not be pasted.
Step 6 - You need to let the bottle dry. This is a lengthy process, and it can take several days. When the container dries, paint the fabric with white acrylic paint. To do this, you need to use a brush. To thoroughly paint the folds, it is worth taking a sponge or a foam sponge. If necessary, the product is painted in several stages. The main thing is that the glass does not shine through.
Step 7 - When the paint thoroughly dries, you need to fix the glue pattern from the torn napkin for decoupage. Two of its upper layers must be removed. Remains only a part with a picture. The required area is smeared with glue, and a napkin is applied to it.
Step 8 - The surface of the napkin is treated with glue. Distribute it from the center to the edges. The image is slightly smoothed with a brush. The main thing is not to deform the paper.
Step 9 - Now you need to walk a little with pink paint on the surface of the bottle. Acting should be easy, just touching the folds.
Step 10 - Then apply 2-3 layers of acrylic lacquer. After each treatment, the product must be dried.
That's all! A bottle in the technique of decoupage with cloth and napkins is ready.
