DIY bottle decor: painting from the inside
An easy way to add some flair to a bottle's ribbed body. Pour paint of the desired shade into the vessel, shake the bottle, twist it at different angles, and then fix it with the bottom up. Excess paint will flow out and the first layer will dry. Repeat the procedure so that there are no unpainted fragments left.
Decor of bottles with salt
Decorating bottles with salt is a fairly popular option, since it does not require much money or time, but allows you to show your imagination to the maximum.
Decorating with salt - option No. 1
Pour salt into a heat-resistant bowl, add acrylic paint and mix, kneading the resulting paste with a fork. Place the mixture in the oven (100 degrees), take it out after an hour, knead it again with a fork and sift through a sieve. It turns out something similar to colored sand. We make several types of such “sands” - different colors.
Advice! To get interesting shades, mix several colors of paint before adding it to the salt, mashing the resulting paste with a fork.
Take a funnel and pour salt into the bottle, alternating colors. It is important that the bottle inside is completely dry. When the vessel is filled to the top, close the bottle with a cork and decorate it as desired.
Decorating with salt - option No. 2
Now we will decorate the outside of the bottle. We remove the labels and wrap an elastic band at least 5 mm wide around the body of the bottle - in the form of a spiral or in a random order.
Cover the bottle evenly white with paint, and after it dries, apply glue. Place a bottle coated with glue on the salt scattered on the paper and gently roll it. When the glue dries, remove the elastic band and get a bottle with patterns. You can dilute this bottle decor with sparkles and rhinestones. In this way you can decorate bottles with semolina or other, more original things.
Decor of cereals and pasta
Decor of bottles with cereals - another one interesting option vessel decoration. Main stages of work: remove all labels and degrease the glass with alcohol. We apply glue to the bottle and create several layers with a border in the form of a wavy line - glue peas below, use rice, lentils, buckwheat and any other cereals above. From shaped pasta (bows, shells, leaves, etc.) create an ornament or a thematic design. We fix the pasta with glue on top of the layers of cereal, and also decorate the lid with pasta. We paint the resulting creation - here it is better to use aerosol paint with a metallic effect.
Bottle decor with napkins
Decorate bottles with napkins or decoupage on glass does not require large financial investments, but everyone will be able to express themselves by choosing this design option, making the most of their capabilities.
Napkin with a pattern - option No. 1
We will need a piece of fabric, a man's handkerchief will do. We impregnate the material with glue and wrap it around a previously defatted bottle, giving it arbitrary shapes. After the glue has dried, cover the product with white acrylic paint. Take a napkin with a pattern, select the fragment you like, cut it out and separate it upper layer(most often napkins with a pattern are multi-layered). Glue a piece of napkin onto the bottle and apply a base coat of paint of the chosen color. After the paint has dried, we coat the folds created when decorating the bottles with fabric with acrylic mother-of-pearl and cover the entire bottle with acrylic varnish.
Napkin with a pattern - option No. 2
Bottle decor with tights
For such an option as bottle decor nylon tights, you may need more than just napkins. This time we use nylon stocking instead of fabric. We saturate it with glue and put it on the bottle. We also create chaotic folds, while the cork can be covered with nylon, or you can stretch the stocking only to the neck of the bottle - after completing all stages of the work, it will seem that the bottle is in a kind of bag. We dry the glue and dry it again. Glue on a fragment of a napkin, let it dry, and paint the bottle in the main color.
We complete the decor with a ribbon, bow, braid, and sparkles. Decorating bottles with tights is a great option not to throw away a damaged item, but to use it in a new quality.
Toilet paper as decoration
Take a dark glass bottle and white acrylic paint. We degrease the glass and apply a random design, wait until it dries. Small pieces toilet paper we impregnate with glue and with their help we create volumetric irregularities on the fragments covered with paint.
After the paper has dried, re-coat the drawing area with paint. Now you can add rhinestones and open the entire product with varnish. Bottle decoration can be used instead of toilet paper.
Bottle decor with twine
Decorating bottles with twine looks incredibly stylish and original. The main task with this type of decoration is to wrap it around the bottle as evenly and accurately as possible. After the first attempts, problems with winding should not arise.

The twine sticks quickly enough, so you need to work quickly and carefully. You can complement the decor in a variety of ways.
Advice! To get the job done as neatly as possible, use tweezers.
Bottle decor with rope
The decor of bottles with rope is created using approximately the same technology as with twine. The difference in decor can be not only in other options for additional decoration and the use of accessories, but also in the use of multi-colored ropes or ropes with different thicknesses and densities. The tip of the rope must be glued to the bottom coated with glue. Twist the rope in a spiral. Next, from bottom to top, a rope is wound around the entire surface of the bottle; it must also be glued at the neck and secured and closed with the help of additional elements.
Decorating bottles with twine
Decorating bottles with twine also has General characteristics work, as with decorating with rope and twine. Glue is applied to the bottle, cleaned of stickers. It is best to wind the twine starting from the bottom of the bottle.

You can complement the decor with small circles, which are also made of twine.
Bottle decor with ribbons

When narrowing the tape, you need to make sure that the edge is even along the neck.
Bottle decor with eggshells
Bottle decor eggshell used to give the vessel a cracked effect and visually help achieve an antique look. You can also decorate bottles stained glass paints. The shell must be washed and the film removed from it, dried and broken into pieces of the required size. On the finished bottle, decorated, for example, with a napkin, you need to apply pieces of shell with a minimum gap between them. When the glue has dried, the shell needs to be painted in accordance with the shades and overall style of the bottle. Then you need to paint the cracks between the pieces for a more realistic look and varnish.

Preparation of the material part
To do decoupage, prepare materials and tools:
- glass half-liter bottle, the same as for the marine style and leather;

How to make decoupage from napkins on a bottle
First, soak the waste bottle in warm water for one hour to soak the label paper. Remove any paper from the glass.
As a rule, glue remains on the surface, which is difficult to wash off with water. To completely remove residue, use nail polish remover. Dry the vessel.
Cut the dish sponge into two parts.
Before decoupaging a glass bottle with a napkin, create a uniform background. This will hide possible errors when gluing the pattern. Apply white acrylic water-based paint to the surface.
Paint do not apply with a sponge, but make frequent tangential movements, as if “smacking.” Wait until the paint is completely dry.
Select a picture. Suitable option There may be photos of cities, cars, all kinds of geographical maps, images of large and strong animals and fish. Consider the man’s character, his hobbies and your relationship with him.
If this is a loved one, then romance is acceptable; if it is a colleague or boss, then everything should be in a strict style. Carefully peel off the top layer.
Wrap a colored layer of napkin around the bottle and determine which fragment will be needed for decoupage. Gently tear it off with your fingers. You can cut it off, but then the edge will be clearly visible on the craft. It’s better to cut with a margin, and then tear off the edges.
Dilute PVA glue with water in a one-to-one ratio in a disposable container. Place the fragment face down on a stationery file. Gently stretching the napkin, apply diluted PVA glue with a brush.
Attach the drawing on the file to the glass. Carefully remove the file. Use a brush with glue to correct the drawing where necessary.
While the glue dries, prepare the pendant for decoration.
Since the image of one of the cities of Cuba was chosen, which at the beginning of the last century was the center of the gambling business, beads in the form of dice and chips were taken as pendants in this bottle decoupage master class.
Cover the surface of the craft with varnish.
Tie the pendant by tying several rows of rope around the neck.
Decorate the cork if you like. It also needs to be pre-coated with acrylic paint.

Paint the bottle
In order to get a taste for decorating, simple manipulations with the object are enough. Elementary decor of glass containers is made with your own hands using paint. A transparent object can be painted inside or outside.
For interior painting, pour acrylic paint into the bottle using a syringe without a needle and rotate the bottle to achieve a dense coating on the interior.
As interesting idea You can paint the inside of the container in several colors. To do this, each color layer should not cover the entire surface, but only a part. The colored decor of the bottle adds mood to the interior.
The outside of the bottle is painted with a sponge or brush. Pre-treat the vessel with alcohol and apply acrylic paint using tangential movements. For white acrylic paint, purchase several toners or use gouache - mixing colored toners with a white base, get the desired shades and create colored bottle decor.
Painted bottle - the basis for decoration
You can quickly decorate an interesting-shaped bottle with your own hands using ribbons and lace. Make a small bow from ribbons, sew them onto a lace base, add a brooch, beads and place it on the neck of the vessel - an exclusive decorative item is ready!
A bright and sparkling effect is achieved using improvised materials, such as salt. Treat the outside of the prepared bottle with glue and sprinkle with salt with large crystals, carefully place on a flat surface until completely dry. Decorating an item with salt is appropriate for a winter or New Year themed interior.
If a continuous layer of salt seems boring or you need to decorate several areas with salt, then apply glue only to those places where sparkling is needed and cover with salt. A master class on this topic will help in mastering the technique.
Once again about decor
Even just by painting a bottle with your own hands, you can achieve an incredible effect of silver or gold gloss, shimmering with lights. New Year's fairy tale, covered in carnival glitter or vintage treasure.
To get a stylish effect of gold/silver plating on a future art object, it needs to be prepared. Preparing glass for subsequent decoration with your own hands, at the initial stage, is the same for any painting method: the object should be washed, dried, degreased and treated with a universal primer.
The prepared glass vessel can be painted. Car paint in a can is suitable for these purposes. It should be sprayed at a distance of 15 centimeters from the object, in the open air or on the balcony.
If you don’t have a spray can, purchase gold/silver acrylic paint from hobby stores or hardware stores. Use a foam sponge to apply. You should paint with point-to-point (tamping) movements, leaving a mark on the surface, not a stripe, the surface will be smooth, without streaks.
Gold, like silver, can be colored, i.e. has several shades, which makes working with these paints exciting.
You can complement the decor in several ways. For example, wrap the thick part of the container with lace, securing it with a glue gun. Or partially wrap it with twine, colored threads, or beads. Glue on hearts or ribbons. Decorating bottles exciting activity, besides, you can use all available materials for each idea.
Decoupage of bottles with napkins (master class)
A popular technique for decorating bottles is decoupage. Attend a master class on decoupage and you will fully appreciate the technique.
Simple manipulations with napkins, decoupage cards or printed pictures allow you to get a charming decorative item of exclusive design.
The easiest way to decorate an object is to paste a cut-out picture. To get a taste of handmade attend a master class on a technique you are interested in and find ideas. Prepare the container as described above, select the scene you like (from a postcard, magazine, decoupage card), cut it out and stick it on the surface. Add accessories, brooches, beads, ribbons, gluing them with your own hands using a glue gun. Sometimes that's enough.
Decorating bottles with a more fundamental approach requires preparation; a master class will always come in handy. For equipment in classic version, a colored layer of napkin is used. That is, a three-layer napkin requires only a layer with a pattern; the class of the napkin is also important - it must have a bright pattern.
To work you will need:
- decoration object;
- universal primer;
- acrylic paint white and colored;
- toners or artistic gouache;
- acrylic varnish (art or construction);
- brushes, sponge for tamponing;
- napkin with a pattern.
Stages of the master class:
- Prepare the glass container (wash, degrease, prime).
- Paint the bottle to be decorated with white acrylic in two layers using the padding method using a sponge. Dry after each application.
- Using nail scissors, cut out a design from a napkin or tear it along the contour. If the drawing is on a white background, you can deviate from the outline, the white part of the napkin will merge with the background on the object.
- White color is not always suitable for your idea and therefore any other color can be applied to a white surface. If you're new to decoupage, use light, creamy shades to add color. With a dark background, napkins require extra work. Dry the surface.
- Place the drawing with the paint layer facing up and apply acrylic glue (you can use acrylic varnish) over it with a brush, try to avoid wrinkles and bubbles. You must act quickly and carefully. Dry.
- When you have glued all the drawings, you can begin the final design. Decoupage of bottles is completed by applying three layers of varnish and drying. Use fine sandpaper to sand the surface and apply a final layer of varnish. DIY bottle decoration is complete!
Not only decoupage
Having mastered simple decoupage of bottles with napkins, you always want more. The smooth surface of the bottle does not provide texture, which can be used to achieve a more interesting effect. You can create an interesting surface with tights or stockings. A master class on this type of decor can be found on the Internet.
To do this, cut one part from a pair of tights, soak it in a mixture of PVA glue and water (proportion 1 to 1) and put it on the bottle. Lay out coattails, waves, any texture.
Instead of tights, you can use decoupage with fabric; the procedures for materials and techniques are similar.
Leave a few spots flat to apply the napkin. Dry completely, prime with a special compound or acrylic paint. Now you can decoupage the bottles, tint them, bring your ideas to life, or leave them as is.
Another way to get texture: wrap the bottle with threads; colored threads are quite suitable for sewing of different thicknesses. Colored thread decor is also quickly obtained when using cotton yarn for knitting.
Using alternately threads of different colors you can get a very stylish decorative item; secure the threads with PVA glue. The decor of bottles with twine and threads should be varnished and used as a vase, or you can prime, paint and stick on napkins.
Leather for decoration
Decorating bottles with leather is one of the most beautiful opportunities to recycle leftover leather or outdated jackets, boot tops and get an interior item for home decoration. You can decorate any glass surface with leather. To work, you need Moment type glue, tweezers, scissors and a knife, as well as imagination.
To make folds, the pieces of leather need to be soft. Detailed wizard the class can be found on the World Wide Web. Coat a bottle and a piece of leather with glue, apply the leather to the surface and form folds.
Working with leather is a little more difficult than decoupaging bottles with fabric, but folds are also formed directly on the glass bottle.
The formed decor should be given time to dry completely and, if desired, additionally painted, gilded, or glued on other elements - it all depends on the idea.
Coins are suitable for decorating a piggy bank; a beautifully made thick cork would not hurt for a gift wine container; it is also trimmed with leather.
Don't throw away empty ones beautiful bottles, with their help you will create a unique art object for your home with your own hands. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s decorating bottles using decoupage technique, leather finishing or dyeing, uniqueness and creativity are the most important things in decorating.

More recently, in Russia, people began to relax during the New Year holidays with the whole family. Not only schoolchildren and students, but also the working population have the opportunity to visit relatives, take a walk, play sports and devote time to their favorite hobbies.
Decorating interior items using technology is gaining increasing popularity among the fair sex. You can decorate this way not only cutting boards, photo frames and other little things, but also bottles, for example, with champagne. These works will decorate the table, refresh it, and make it special. Even if you didn’t have time in the bustle all year to master new technology creativity, this can be done just in time for New Year's days.
In this master class we will look at the technique of direct decoupage from a file, in which we will apply the design on the bottle in a circle, overlapping edge to edge. When decorated directly with a napkin, the champagne will stand and not lie on its side, as when gluing a small motif.
Here it will be useful to define the terms used by the masters of this technique.
A motif is a drawing from a napkin or decoupage card that will be placed on the surface. Primer is acrylic paint or a mixture of paint with PVA glue, which is applied to the glass in the first and second layers.
For decoupage, PVA glue, slightly diluted with water, is usually used. It is also important to remember that when wet, the size of the napkin increases by approximately 0.5 cm on each side, which is very noticeable if you first apply a dry napkin to the surface to determine the boundaries where the motif will lie.
Materials and tools
The craftswoman should always have toothpicks on hand, cotton buds, sheets of paper or newspaper, cotton wool. All this can be found in every home. Pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of the workplace, to protecting your hands and face (especially eyes) from exposure to varnishes and paints. Therefore, it would be a good idea to purchase gloves, masks, etc. In addition to the above, prepare:- acrylic paints: white and pearlescent;
- regular brushes, like those for watercolor paints;
- a sponge sponge or a piece of dry dishwashing sponge attached to a clothespin;
- acrylic lacquer;
- the finest sandpaper;
- acrylate putty for decorative work;
- napkins of a suitable theme, I took New Year's ones;
- artificial Christmas tree branches, real cones;
- for artificial snow, foam balls;
- PVA glue for paper and cardboard or construction glue;
- scissors;
- stationery file, preferably dense.
Inspiration, creative message and free time, and good mood. The work may take several days, since each layer must be thoroughly dried, but using a hairdryer it can be sped up to several hours.
Beginning of work
Buy good quality champagne.
As in the case of remaking an old one, before applying any type of coating, you need to remove the old decorative layers. When decorating a bottle, these are labels and excise stamps. First I soak the glass in water, then remove the label with a brush. Residues of paper and glue can be easily removed using vegetable oil and sandpaper, vigorously rubbing the bottle.
Choose a napkin in advance.
Before you start priming the glass, degrease it with window cleaner or alcohol.
Add PVA glue to the paint and prepare a foam sponge.
Apply the primer to the surface using small, dotted movements.
Two or three layers are enough. Let the bottle dry or dry it thoroughly with a hairdryer on all sides.
Now take some fine sandpaper and sand the surface.
During the sanding process, you will realize that the grain is not completely removed. In order to prepare the surface for decoupage from a file, take acrylate putty.
Apply the thinnest layer of paste to the bottle. To do this, take a plastic card from any bank instead of a spatula or just use your finger. You can also remove excess with a thread. The bottle should lie on its side.
Let's use the hairdryer again. The paste dries very quickly.
Cover the bottom of the bottle with it as well.
If necessary, brush the surface again. This is how smooth the bottle turned out in the end. Now she is ready to apply the motive.
Decoupage
The easiest way to decoupage for beginners is decoupage from a file. I chose a motif with the image of New Year's balls, cinnamon, spruce branches. The pattern does not end on a quarter of the napkin, as usual, but is located on half, as shown in the figure.
If you wrap a napkin around a bottle, it becomes clear that you will have to turn it down a little. But let's not rush.
Make the edges of the motif uneven by cutting them off. Layer the napkin.
You may need to iron the motif from the reverse side using the “silk” setting.
Place the colorful layer of the napkin on the file with the pattern down and start dripping water on top of it, from the middle to the edges. You want the entire napkin to be submerged in water. Essentially, when you straighten it, you will not touch the paper with the brush, you will touch the water, and the napkin will straighten itself.
Flatten the motif, expel the air from under it, the folds will straighten out. However, do not keep the napkin in the water for too long! The edges of the motif can be safely removed, since the paper has increased in size..
The motif on the file can be raised in this way, as shown in the figure.
Lubricate the bottle thickly with PVA glue; there is no need to dilute it in this case.
Now begins the most interesting and most difficult part of the work. Starting from the middle of the motif, lean the file against the bottle, but not all at once, but only the middle, and stroke the file with your hands up and down, and also slightly to the sides.
Next, you need to place one edge of the napkin on the glue and slowly separate it from the file. If necessary, straighten with a wide brush with water, but it is better to glue straight away evenly.
In the photo below you can clearly see that one part of the napkin is still on the file, and the other is already on the bottle.
Now overlap the rest of the napkin, adding a little glue. This whole process requires skill, attention and concentration. If necessary, carefully tear off the excess part of the image too.
Pay attention to the following photo. It shows that the last part of the napkin did not stick very evenly, and when trying to smooth it out, the motif began to tear. At this stage, if this happens to you, it is best to exhale. Let the napkin dry naturally; a hairdryer will only do damage here.
Now glue the top of the napkin, which previously remained just in the air. If creases form, they can be removed later with sandpaper.
Select a color and complete the background using the same sponge.
While the paint is drying, prepare the artificial snow. To do this, mix white paint, PVA glue and semolina or such foam balls as in the photo.
Apply two coats of varnish to the bottle and let it dry. Before this, it was possible to depict patterns on the surface.
Cover the lid with foil and apply fake snow to it.
Finally, hide the bumps and the “seam” of the napkin with a few branches of an artificial Christmas tree or tinsel. I also glued real pine cones and covered the branches with fake snow. You can attach this to glue gun, which can be bought at the Fix Price store for no more than 100 rubles.
That's it, the beautiful one is ready!
To decorate bottles and glasses for a wedding you need to use with the following diagram:
