A gift for March 8 to your beloved mother, sister, girlfriend is not necessary to buy in the store. You can make such a neat and high-quality handmade that no expensive trinket can be compared with it in beauty, and even this little thing will remind children’s handicraft the least. Bottle decor for March 8 is becoming a common type of needlework. Wine or champagne is considered a standard gift that comes with a bouquet of flowers. So, why not make it the original designer jewelry, which is not a shame to put in a prominent place in the room? Working with glass is quite simple: it is enough to clean and degrease it. Consider a few detailed workshops on bottle decoration, after which it will be difficult to find out ordinary containers.
One of the simplest and most popular options for decorating bottles with sweets is making decorative pineapple. To work, you will need:
Candy.
Glue gun.
Green crepe paper for leaves.
Green satin ribbon.
Scissors.
For an exotic fruit, any round sweets are suitable. To stylize a pineapple for a holiday, it is enough to choose sweets with wrappers of two colors: some will become the background, and from the others you can form a symbolic figure eight. First, the glass containers are cleaned of the label. This step can be skipped if you use yellow paper cut into small “straws”. It is randomly glued to the glass, thus filling future gaps between the candies. Now proceed to gluing the tails on the candy wrappers. They are neatly fixed on one of the sides of the candy to make perfect balls. Then the sweets are glued directly to the bottle itself. Start from the bottom. The second row is staggered over the first so that there are as few gaps as possible. The candies themselves are closely pressed against each other. After the last row reaches the neck, proceed to the production of leaves. Oblong fragments are cut from crepe paper. They are glued to the neck and wrapped with a satin ribbon with a flirty bow on top. It remains only to “stretch” the leaves with crepe scissors so that they slightly curl up and bend. Such a removable decor will be mercilessly eaten by sweets over time, but a couple of weeks the bottle nevertheless will be painted on the “front door” in the apartment.
To decorate a bottle of champagne will require approximately 600-700 g of sweets. Instead of crepe paper leaves, you can use the cut top from a real pineapple.
Decoration with polymer clay flowers
A bottle of sparkling wine or champagne can be decorated with polymer clay flowers. The work will be divided into two stages:
Making jewelry.
Bottle decoration.
Polymer clay is ideal for beginners. Although the "classic" material requires firing, now this name is used to refer to a group of self-hardening compounds. Only small-sized products are made from polymer clay. Using scissors, tweezers and needles, you can create neat clover heads, buds of delicate orchids or lilies, miniature roses. Two or three types of polymer flowers are usually used to design a bottle so that the decor does not look poor and boring. Although no one restricts the wizard’s imagination: if you have enough perseverance, you can collect a full-fledged bouquet of field herbs.
To make clover from polymer clay, they take an evenly rolled ball of white color. It is wrapped in a rolled “pancake” of lilac or pink hue. The tips are carefully plucked, and the surface is leveled. Now manicure scissors make triangular cuts across the entire surface of the future flower, starting from its base. In this case, observe the staggered arrangement of the petals, like a real clover. Then each incision is carefully bent from the base and slightly extended. The result is neat inflorescences: pink on the outside and white inside, like a real clover.
To create a simple flower, you only need polymer clay of one shade and a special tool with a ball on the end. The future foundation is first rolled into a ball, and then smoothed to a state of "pancake". A little piece of polymer clay is nibbled off a little, rolled up balls, and then with effort press the ball-tip of the tool. The result is neat circles with a thickened border. These petals are fixed on the base in rows in a checkerboard pattern. It is advisable to create four to five rows to make a lush flower.In the center, you can use a round bead in the middle of a different shade.
The bottle in hot water is cleaned of the label, carefully remove the layer of glue. Then, paint from a spray can (for example, silver) can be applied to the surface, wrapped with ribbons or cloth. When the background is ready, proceed to consolidate the floral decorations. Put them on glue. For the composition, they usually choose a place in the center (where the front label used to be) or closer to the neck. Additionally, the bouquet is decorated with crepe paper leaves or green satin ribbons.
Decorate the bottle with a cloth
The decor of the bottle with a cloth can be done using any textile (capron, linen, silk). Leather will look stylish and luxurious. The material is soaked in the adhesive before wrapping the bottle. Then it is applied to the glass, but loosely. The resulting folds give the product an extra relief. Cloth bottle decor is often combined with decoupage technique. To make a delicate gift for a young girl, you can use twine (a dense, fleecy thread for tying paper bags), burlap, and white lace. The bottle is cleaned of the labels, silver paint from the spray can is sprayed over it, or the previously applied adhesive is sprinkled with sparkles. When the surface dries, the container is partially wrapped in burlap, which is fixed with glue. On the sides, rough decor is accentuated with white lace stripes. The decoration is complemented by a bow made of several threads of twine on the neck, white beads, textile flowers.
To decorate the bottle with ribbons or inlay, you only need fabric strips and glue. You don’t even have to remove the label. Start work from the neck. The tape is wrapped around a glass surface in an oblique line (the back is much higher than the tips). The ends are trimmed, then a new ribbon layer is applied on top. You can “put on” a bottle in this way to the bottom.The decor is complemented by flowers, beads, buttons, bows, although a combination of ribbons of different colors allows you to create a self-sufficient “costume” that does not need additional decorations.
Decoupage technique
Decoupage is one of the favorite techniques for beginners to decorate. Images are applied only to a smooth, pre-treated surface. The label is removed from the bottle, then the glass is wiped with acetone or alcohol to degrease. After that, a primer layer (acrylic paint) is applied, the color of which blends well with the gamut of the selected picture (a lighter tone). Then take a three-layer napkin (clipping from a magazine) and separate the colorful face layer. It is impregnated in glue and immediately applied to the surface or first soaked in water (several options).
Some masters prefer not to cut out the picture, but to “tear out” in the literal sense of the word. Then the edges of the napkin on the bottle will not be noticeable. After applying the picture, it is carefully leveled, removing unnecessary air bubbles. It's important to know. Additionally, the bottle can be “puttyed”. Take a stencil and apply a thick layer of putty on the glass. The relief pattern is painted over the background color. Usually use thin ligature or ornament with floral motifs. The decoupage of the bottle goes well with the decoration of the fabric.
Dyeing
They usually paint the bottle to create a beautiful background on which the main decorations will look better. Acrylic paints are bought for glass. You can color the bottle both inside and outside. For internal work, the composition is simply poured through the neck and the container is thoroughly shaken so that it is evenly distributed. Then the bottle is turned upside down and allowed to drain excess paint, and the one that remained on the walls to dry. To stain glass outside, you can use brushes and sponges. The drawing is applied using a stencil.Those areas that should remain untouched can be sealed with masking tape. Spray painting allows you to apply an even layer without brush strokes. The same method will help to obtain the ombre effect (color gradation), since each subsequent layer neatly lays on the previous one, and the master controls the color intensity. Glitter allows you to create a bright, festive decor. Spangles are applied to a surface that has previously been lubricated with glue. Excess pieces are shaken off. It’s better to work on the newspaper, as the waste can be collected and carefully poured back into the jar for reuse.
Composition of fresh flowers and a bottle of wine / champagne
A bottle of wine or champagne can be presented in a simple box, wrapped in paper and decorated with a bow. Typically, such a gift comes with a bouquet of flowers. But what if both of these presentations are combined? You will get a luxurious gift, decorated with your own hands. Bottles are usually placed in wicker baskets. In addition to flowers, fruits are picturesquely arranged in them. First, the inside of the basket is wrapped with a transparent film. Then a piece of floristic sponge is customized (cut) to the shape of a wicker container. Such a “foundation” will not only keep the components of the bouquet in the right position, but also disinfect the water, which will nourish the stems, which will save flowers longer. The sponge is placed in a basket. The edges of the transparent film are wrapped inward.
Then they begin to form a bouquet: they start from the edges, placing decorative branches (medicinal asparagus, pistachio). When most of the baskets are filled with greens, flowers are inserted into the sponge - the basis of the composition. Here the choice is limited only by the imagination of the master. The bouquet is made up of small roses, lilies, gerberas, asters, peonies, tulips. The shorter the stem and fewer leaves on it, the more water the buds will get, which means the longer they will stand. The bouquet is complemented by a bottle of wine and fruit.Alternatively, this decor can be placed on one side of the basket, and flowers - on the other.
Conclusion
Very young girls will be pleased with a present from a bottle filled with small sweets, chewing gum or “toffees”. As a rule, such containers are partially painted on the outside using masking tape. You can decorate bottles with any materials at hand: buttons, accessories, pieces of unnecessary fabric, bows, beads, coins, netting, yarn. A handmade gift will “warm the soul” of the recipient more than any acquired item. Perhaps because the donor puts a piece of heat into his work and demonstrates that he does not spare the most valuable thing for his beloved woman - free time.
