Such images are good for decoupaging a bottle of champagne for a wedding, especially if you add some decorative details to the finished product. This kind of work can be done quite easily with your own hands.
You need to degrease the surface and then prime it with light acrylic paint. Afterwards, the fragment is glued to the selected areas and secured with acrylic varnish. This method is an easy option for beginners who have decided to perform decoupage on glass, and who are generally interested in this technique. This is how the base coating of a bottle of champagne is made for a wedding, March 8, etc.

DIY vase decor
Let's move on to another decor option, where you will learn how to decoupage a vase. Many people have vases with a clean glass surface in their home. Try to repeat the presented glass decoupage; the object for flower arrangements will sparkle with new colors.Decoupage of a vase begins with preparing the surface by degreasing it. For these purposes, you can use acetone. After this, the product is painted with white acrylic paint. It is convenient to apply paint using a foam sponge.
This master class suggests applying an uneven layer of paint. Apply more layers on the top and bottom parts, since the selected floral motifs will be glued here. In the step-by-step photos, you can see what the decoupage technique looks like on a vase.
Glue the prepared pictures onto the dried object, as in the photo.
As an additional decoration, you can use an interesting technique by using thread for this purpose. To do this, 20 cm pieces of thread are moistened first in water and then in PVA glue.
After this, with your own hands, form spiral-shaped elements on the surface of the object. Having filled the space at your discretion, leave the product to dry. Then, cover it with several layers of acrylic-based varnish, drying each of them in between. This completes the master class and decoupage of the vase. Let's admire the wonderful result shown in the photo.
To create decoupage, various auxiliary methods and techniques are sometimes used. The next master class will show you an idea based on volumetric decoupage with eggshells. The prepared bottle is degreased and then coated with white acrylic paint. Next, a small piece of paper with a rice texture is glued onto the dried object.
The next step is to cover the bottle with eggshells, which must first be cleared of the film.
Now prepared fragments from a napkin are glued onto the volumetric decor using eggshells.
The surface of the egg crackle itself is tinted with light paint, and the contours of the rice material are tinted with pink. In some areas between the eggshells, you can paint on certain details with your own hands, as in the photo. You can use crushed crayons to tint cracks. Finally, the resulting volumetric decoupage is coated with acrylic-based varnish in several layers.
In addition to the interesting decoration with eggshells, another interesting option with which to decorate 
products are volumetric decoupage of bottles with fabric, as well as tights. Before we consider the master class, we will consider the list of materials and devices that will be useful to you for your work.
So, prepare:
Let's consider the first option. This will be decoupage of bottles with napkins using partial fabric decoration. Take the prepared bottle and rid it of all kinds of paper stickers. They are easily removed with warm water. Then, degrease the surface.
Now decoupage with napkins in the center. Next, apply acrylic-based varnish. Leave the bottle to dry. At this point, start preparing a solution that will help you saturate the fabric. Take a small amount of putty, glue and water (in a one to one ratio). You will also need light-colored acrylic paint. The paint color is selected to match the selected fabric.
The amount of fabric needed is determined by the turnaround capacity of one half of the bottle. The prepared piece of material is dipped into the adhesive solution, thoroughly soaked and squeezed out of excess. After that, wrap the bottle with your own hands, draping the fabric at your own discretion or as shown in the photo.
Allow the created decor to dry thoroughly during the day. At the final stage, fix the various decorative elements with glue and apply varnish to the bottle to secure the created work.
In addition, you can do complete decoupage with fabric. To do this, the selected material is washed and dried.
Next, the fabric is cut into separate pieces, moistened in a solution, the composition of which is presented above, and each of them is sequentially glued to the surface of the product. Carefully straighten each of the segments with your hands, forming folds on them.
The finished volumetric decoupage using fabric is coated with varnish as usual. Decoupage with tights is done in a similar way. But in this case, working with this material is much easier, since such fabric is much easier to drape and can dry quickly. Therefore, you will not spend much time on such decor.
Oddly enough, you can also make decoupage with toilet paper. Since the main topic of our article 
are the glass surfaces of the bottles, let's look at another master class with step-by-step photos, as well as a video on decor in the sea. To work you will need:
Prepare the surface: remove labels, degrease, dry. We cut out the necessary fragments for decoupage from a napkin and separate the top colored layer. PVA glue is diluted with water in a ratio of one to one. Now, cover the bottle with toilet paper using glue. An interesting texture on the surface is obtained due to folds. Apply white paint over the pasted paper. Glue the pictures prepared from napkins onto acrylic varnish in the center and onto the lid.
Next, a layer of blue paint is applied to the dried product, and then, with a sponge, a golden tint is applied along the folds. From the remaining parts of the napkin, form ropes and paint them with a golden tone. The resulting parts can be used as decoration for a bottle, as shown in the photo. The final touch is to coat the finished decorative bottle with two layers of acrylic varnish.

The craquelure technique is used to give products an aged look with characteristic cracks. Making decoupage in a retro style is quite easy even for beginners, if you first study the master class with photo examples.
Required decor kit:
The product, degreased with acetone, is coated with acrylic-based paint of a dark shade. To speed up drying, you can use a hair dryer. To make craquelure, take a special varnish, apply it to the bottle and wait until it dries for at least 15 minutes. Now, mix the paints to obtain the shade you need.
The presented master class uses a golden tone, which is formed by mixing yellow, brown and white colors. Dried craquelure produces original cracks on the bottle.
The pictures prepared in advance are glued in the desired area, after which the main background is tinted gold. In order to give the desired three-dimensional appearance to the printed images.
All fragments of the images are outlined using a contour to match the main golden background, and at the end the craquelure with decoupage is covered with acrylic varnish. Next, we invite you to study the final master class using a video example on decorating jars using the decoupage technique. Any housewife can use this equipment by filling it with a variety of bulk products available in the kitchen.

Spring handicrafts are gaining momentum. The days are getting longer and the mood is improving. Let's get down to spring decoupage and decorate a bottle of champagne for March 8th.
First of all, the labels are removed from the bottle. Soak it in a bowl of water, then the paper will peel off easily. Then, wipe the glass with any degreaser (alcohol or acetone).
For spring decoupage, you need to choose a design that matches your mood. A napkin with small bouquets of lilies of the valley will be very relevant. You need to remove the top layer of the napkin; only this will be used for decoupage.
We paint the bottle with white paint using a special foam sponge.
Apply two coats of white paint to completely cover the surface. This layer of paint is the main one and the following stages of decoupage will be applied to it.
While the paint dries from the napkin, you need to tear out several small fragments of lilies of the valley.
Place the fragment on the white surface of the bottle and coat the top with special glue for decoupage. It will saturate the thin napkin and stick it. Apply glue with a small brush and smooth the napkin so that no wrinkles appear.
After the decoupage glue has dried, you can paint on the background of the bottle. The lilies of the valley were painted on a complex background in yellow-green shades, so for painting we took acrylic paints: white, yellow and bright green. Mix paints to create tones similar to the color of the napkin.
Using a small foam sponge, apply a light yellow color to the bottle, between the bunches of lilies of the valley.
Then, use a green tint to draw shadows around the lilies of the valley (the location of the shadows should match the napkin pattern).
When the background painting has dried, varnish the entire decoupage with several layers of acrylic varnish.
If there are some wrinkles on the glued fragments, sand them down with sandpaper.
To make decoupage “Silver Lily of the Valley” you need to use silver glitter. Apply small dots of glitter to each lily of the valley bell and wait for it to dry.
Apply a transparent gel contour on top of the silver bells. After it dries, the bells will become voluminous and shiny from the inside.
You can varnish a bottle of champagne in several more layers. However, make sure that the varnish does not level the surface. Small bells of silver lily of the valley should stand out in volume on the bottle.
Tie a satin bow around the neck of the bottle to match the color of the underpainting.
And you are guaranteed a bright, spring mood. Decoupage of champagne for March 8 “Silver Lily of the Valley” is ready. To decorate another bottle, you can use

There are many different techniques for making crafts, from applique to scrapbooking. Most of them are quite easy to learn, just a little bit of diligence and patience is enough.
Decoupage is rightfully recognized as one of the most popular techniques for creativity.
Decoupage is a way of decorating various objects by gluing drawings, patterns or ornaments onto their surface and then covering the top with varnish. The advantage of this technique is that, if desired, you can decorate things with almost any surface, be it wood, metal, plastic and other materials.
What materials are usually required to make any decoupage craft? Mainly acrylic paints of different colors(for processing the background and details of the object), synthetic brushes of different sizes (for applying paint and varnish), napkins for decoupage (drawing), scissors for cutting, sponge or sponge (for shading), primer (for priming the product for paint), glue for decoupage (special gel varnish or regular PVA), varnish. Even a beginner will definitely need the above. More experienced people use additional elements for decoration, such as gold leaf (foil imitating gold), relief varnish, stencils, etc.
The main stages of working with decoupage: preparing everything necessary for production, preparing and priming the surface of the object, applying a design, securing it with glue, and varnishing it.
Of course, this is a general approximate procedure; when working with decoupage, more details and nuances should be taken into account
