Decoupage of New Year bottles: features of the execution of technology

For work you will need the following materials:

• A beautiful three-layer napkin with a Christmas or Christmas motif;
• Acrylic lacquer;
• priming;
• Acrylic paints (selected according to the color of the drawing or the napkin itself, for example, white, golden, silver, etc.);
• PVA glue.

Begin decoupage of New Year bottles with their release from old labels and degreasing with alcohol or acetone. On a clean bottle, apply an acrylic primer with a uniform layer. After complete drying of the primer, another layer is applied. After carrying out the preparatory treatment of the containers, take a napkin with a New Year motif and gently separate the two upper layers from the lower one. If you want to use not the whole picture, but parts of it, you need to tear off the necessary elements.

Now the resulting layer with a pattern is applied to the container (face to the glass) and glued to water, then immediately covered with PVA glue (it is previously diluted with water). Advice: in order that the napkin does not tear, it can be previously treated with a normal hair spray and left for a while. After gluing the napkin the product is left to dry completely. If desired, you can dry the bottle with a picture by a hair dryer.

After gluing the napkin and drying, we take acrylic finger paints and select some elements along the contour. For example, if you want a Christmas tree, balls, or stars to be larger, carefully circle them several times. Tip: decoupage bottles for the New Year is desirable to produce with the use of colors with sparkles, so your gift items will be more elegant and bright.

After applying the paints, the workpiece is allowed to dry. Your craft is almost ready. Now it remains to decorate the empty space. You can apply a paint that matches the pattern on the napkin. After the paint dries, you can add a decorative element to the bottle - a crystal paste that mimics the sparkling snow, and also emphasize the details of the pattern with the contour and glitter. After that, we cover the product with varnish, and it is desirable to apply 6 or more layers of varnish. Tip: to prevent paint from staining the napkin, you must first cover the painted part of the bottle, and then - the part with the pattern. After that, you can varnish the entire product.
