Vintage decoupage
Vintage decoration is the design of an object in such a way that it seems “antique”. When using this technique, the bottle is decorated with special pictures, cute antique photos, etc.
To perform the decor in this technique you will need:
decoupage napkins with any images;
acrylic primer, paints;
foam sponge;
glass container itself;
alcohol or nail polish remover;
textured contour;
PVA glue.
How to do:
the surface of the bottle is necessarily degreased so that the paint adheres well;
then, using a sponge, a primer is applied when it dries - a layer of white paint;
a napkin is preferred so wide that it can be completely wrapped around the bottle;
the upper edge of the napkin neatly breaks off, it should turn out to be slightly uneven - it will turn out more beautiful;
after that, it is necessary to separate the napkin layer on which the drawing is, stick it on glass containers - the drawing is pressed to the paint that has not yet dried out, and PVA glue is applied from above with a brush;
when everything dries up, the contours of the drawing are painted over with a sponge, the structure is varnished and - done!
Combined bottle design
An even more interesting option is design using a combination of tights and napkins for decoupage. In this case, the picture from the napkin is “transferred” to a partially primed, stained bottle, and the stocking is put on the rest. The image from the napkin, as it were, peeps out of the window. You can use several pictures - it is especially convenient to do this on large, flat bottles.Then all the places where it is planned to place the images are primed, tights are glued around - for the design of large bottles it will take two to three or more stockings. The design is covered with paints, varnishes. During their application, the main thing is not to smear the picture itself with paint.
Additional decor
Anything is used as an additional decor - home-made flowers, roses, beads, cereals, rhinestones, coins and much more. For example, a piggy bank is made using tights, a short iron zipper, and any coins. You will also need glue - PVA and "Titan", scissors. It is better to take the largest tights - so there will be a lot of folds, they will be more interesting. One stocking is cut off, impregnated with PVA glue, put on a bottle, dried. In the formed folds, with the help of "Titan" neatly unzipped zipper is carefully glued. The design is covered with several layers of different paint from spray cans, after which coins are glued into the lightning section. If instead of coins, glue stones, beads, shiny rhinestones previously painted with bright nail polishes in the same place, you will get a piggy bank with “precious stones”. Roses can be sewn on, glued to a bottle previously wrapped in nylon, in any order - their arrangement in a spiral looks beautiful, especially on "thick" containers.
Conclusion
Decoupage is an interesting, fascinating activity. Crafts made in this way from bottles, tights, and other decorative materials are made easy, and then for a long time they are pleasing to the eye. Homemade things are now very popular, each of them is unique and keeps a piece of the soul of the person who made it. With the help of simple objects and imagination, a real masterpiece is created with which you can decorate the interior of the room, as well as any festive table.
