It is necessary to do decoupage on a large table, on which it will be convenient to place the required tools and items. The room should be well lit and ventilated, since during bottle decoration using decoupage technique, special means, characterized by a pungent odor.

Do-it-yourself decoupage of bottles with napkins: a master class for beginners

After the necessary material is prepared, you can proceed directly to decorating the bottle:

In order to understand how to decorate a bottle with napkins, special skills and abilities are not required. It is enough to be careful when gluing the napkin to the bottle. Such a creative craft can serve as an ornament not only as a decor, but also be a gift for a holiday. In this case, you can decorate the bottle in accordance with the theme of the holiday, for example, on New Year, for Family Day and any other holiday.

The beautiful French word decoupage is today called the technique of decorating various surfaces using drawings cut out of paper. In fact, this is an applique, by the way, and the term decoupage itself is translated as "cutting".

The decoupage technique is quite simple in execution, but it gives an amazing effect - with the help of ordinary drawings, you can transform not only old bottles, various containers, vases or bread bins. Craftswomen decorate even pieces of furniture or wooden doors with decoupage, making them no worse than vintage or antique interior details.

The easiest way to learn decoupage is to start small. For the first experiment, you can use empty containers and decoupage on glass or plastic bottles.

What you need for decoupage

Craftswomen use a variety of elements as a material for decorating the surface. It can be:

clippings from newspapers or magazines;
three-layer patterned table napkins;
special decoupage cards that are sold in handicraft stores;
thin fabrics with an interesting pattern or texture.

Attention! To transfer a newspaper or magazine clipping to glass, you will need preliminary preparation of the paper and the drawing itself.

To begin with, the picture is cut out, then it is covered with several layers of acrylic varnish. Now the paper needs to be soaked in warm water for 20 minutes. After swelling, the paper backing should peel off easily, and the image itself should remain on the varnish layer. It is in this form that the drawing is glued to the base.

The magazine clippings option is quite difficult to perform; good skills are required for such work. Decoupage cards are not cheap, and handicraft shops are not everywhere. Working with fabric is a priori more difficult than with thin paper, it also requires practice and a certain skill of the master.

That is why it is best to start mastering the decoupage technique with table napkins. For these purposes, the napkins already available in the house are quite suitable, or the hostess can specially buy material with the pattern she likes. The main thing is that the cost of napkins is available to everyone, besides, the remnants of the material after decoupage will definitely come in handy on the farm.

Important! The napkin for decoupage bottles must be multi-layered so that the master can separate upper part paper with a pattern applied to it. The thinner the picture, the easier it is to stick it, and the less noticeable the joints and other flaws of the decoupage work will be.

For work, you will need a number of tools, but these do not have to be purchased materials, they can be easily replaced with improvised means. So, for decoupage a plastic or glass bottle you will need:

The bottle itself - it is better to choose a volumetric container, it is more difficult to work with thin and narrow vessels, and the result will not be so bright.
Degreaser: acetone, nail polish remover, alcohol, window cleaner, and other solvents.
Drawing for decoupage.
Acrylic paint for painting the entire surface of the bottle (building paint is suitable for walls or other surfaces).
Colors for paint (if provided by the idea of the project).
A special foam rubber brush for decoupage can be easily replaced with a regular kitchen sponge or a piece of foam rubber clamped with a clothespin.
Acrylic glue for decoupage is not much better than ordinary PVA diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio.
Wide tassel made of synthetic fibers(so as not to lose hairs during work) for applying glue.
Glitter or acrylic marker, with which it is convenient to trace the contours of the picture on the bottle for greater brightness and effect.
Various beads, ribbons, shells, twine or burlap - this decor is selected in accordance with the theme of the bottle design and should correspond to the general concept of bottle decoration.

Advice! It is not at all necessary for the first experience of decoupage to buy special tools and materials - they can be easily replaced.

But, if the master constantly works in this technique, it is better to purchase a professional set after all, then the finished decor items will be more accurate, and the decoupage process itself will become easier.

Decoupage bottles with your own hands

The first thing a novice master should do is to visualize the idea, that is, to imagine how the bottle will look after the decor. Numerous photos of finished works can help a beginner, various master classes or visiting a hand-made exhibition. In accordance with this, paints are selected the desired shade, pictures, various decorative elements.

Now you need to find a beautiful vessel - a plastic or glass bottle of an interesting shape. Although the bottle will stain during use, it is best to choose a transparent container for the first time.

Armed with the right tools, you can get to work.

Preparing a bottle for decoupage

First, you should try on the selected picture for the existing bottle - they must match in size. Applying the rest of the decor items, you can understand how the bottle will look after decoupage, and how best to arrange all the decor details.

Now the bottle needs to be prepared for staining:

first, the bottle is soaked in warm soapy water so that all labels get wet and easily separate from glass or plastic;
with a metal brush, not only paper labels are removed from the bottle, but also all the glue on the surface of the vessel;
a bottle that has been wiped dry is degreased by wiping with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or acetone.

After that, you need to apply a primer to the bottle, which in this case is acrylic paint... But this is far from the only way to prepare the basis for transferring a picture. The bottle is often coated with various texture materials, such as sand, eggshells, seashells and many many others. However, it is easiest to work with smooth surfaces, so it is recommended that a beginner decoupage master still paint the bottle with acrylic-based paint.

The easiest way to apply the dye is with a brush, but with this technique, streaks will certainly remain on the glass, and the paint itself will lay down unevenly. Therefore, experienced decoupage masters suggest using a foam sponge.

In this case, the paint is, as it were, tamponed, that is, it is applied to the bottle with short pressing movements. This staining must be repeated 2-3 times - it depends on the master's idea and the desired degree of toning of the existing base.

Advice! The color of the base should be one or two shades lighter than the selected decoupage pattern. This makes it easier to hide flaws in the work, and the edges of the design will be less visible.

Each layer of paint should dry thoroughly. While the bottle is drying after the last staining, you can do the picture.

Preparation of a drawing for decoupage

It was decided to use an ordinary table napkin with a favorite pattern for the first experiment. From this napkin, you need to very carefully separate the topmost layer - the one on which the pattern is applied.

Now it is necessary to somehow separate exactly that part of the picture that is needed for decoupage. There are two ways to do this:

small sharp scissors (often craftswomen use a tool from a manicure set);
just tear off thin paper, highlighting the desired fragment of the drawing.

As practice shows, the first method is more convenient to use on large patterns with clear lines and borders, for cutting out geometric pictures, or in the case when the background is very different from the shade of the picture.

The method of tearing off the pattern with your fingers allows you to better mask the line where the paper and paint meet, but this will only work if the base is matched to the color of the picture itself. It is this method that is best used by those who are just learning the art of decoupage. How to do it correctly is shown in the photo below.

Important! To make your work easier, it is recommended to split large drawings into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to glue thin paper to the glass, and the likelihood of air bubbles in the decoupage process will be less.

Bottle decoupage: process

Pasting a picture on a base (in this case, a bottle) is called decoupage. In essence, this is the transfer of the pattern to the surface.

And it is performed quite simply:

A special glue for decoupage or PVA stationery glue diluted with water is taken. The required amount of glue is poured into some container.
A drawing cut from a napkin is applied to the designated place on the surface of the bottle.
A wide and flat brush is dipped in glue and smeared with a napkin with quick movements. Here you need to be very careful, since the picture will be quite thin and tear easily after it gets wet, so you need to brush it over the surface no more than a couple of times. The movements of the master's hand should be directed from the center of the applique to its edges. The main task is to prevent paper wrinkles and expel all air bubbles from under it.
In this form, the bottle is left until the glue is completely dry.
So that the bottle can be used and the picture is durable, the surface is covered with acrylic varnish in three layers. Each layer of varnish should dry well.

Attention! Recently, PVA stationery glue is already being sold so liquid that it is not necessary to dilute it - you can work right away.

There is another option: use building PVA for decoupage, but such a composition must be diluted with water, choosing a proportion based on the desired consistency of glue.

Finishing touches

There are several ways to create decor:

glue beads or sequins;
tie a satin ribbon around the neck of the bottle;
wrap the neck of the bottle with twine or knitting threads;
use a glitter (dense acrylic contour of a contrasting color) or a special marker to circle the picture, make thematic inscriptions on the bottle, add sparkle;
make the decoupage brighter using artistic acrylic paints and a thin brush.

There are a lot of ways to decorate a bottle after decoupage, and this is evidenced by photos of finished works by both novice craftsmen and professionals in their field. It all depends on the skills of the performer and the range of decorative elements.

Materials for decoupage creativity

Decoupage technique can be used by both a beginner and an experienced master. To start creating, you need to purchase necessary materials and fixtures.

First of all, you need to choose a base - a bottle. It is better to choose a product with a smooth surface, without relief.

Next, a drawing is selected. For decoupage bottles with napkins, fragments of ordinary paper products are selected, it is also possible to use rice canvases, decoupage cards, clippings from magazines or pictures from the Internet.

To degrease the surface and remove all fat spots you need to stock up on any suitable liquid that will cope with this task.

After degreasing, the glass surface will need to be primed. For these purposes, acrylic paint of any color is suitable, which is suitable for the composition.

To glue the piece of paper to the surface, an adhesive is required. It can be a special decoupage glue or ordinary PVA diluted with water in a 1 to 1 ratio.

Brushes are required. It is advisable to use synthetic products, from which hairs do not fall out during the process.

The next step is to separate the desired fragment of the drawing from the paper. For this, it is better to use small nail scissors. If a napkin is used, then only one top paper layer needs to be taken.

If a thicker magazine paper is taken, then first the surface is varnished, dried, and then soaked in water for 20 minutes. Then the transparent drawing will separate from the base.

Now it's time to glue the paper drawing onto the bottle. To do this, a dry fragment is applied to the bottle and a brush dipped in glue is smoothed from the center to the edges, squeezing out air bubbles and smoothing out wrinkles. In this form, the bottle should dry well.
