A bottle of a good alcoholic beverage is a great present for men. But if you work hard on its design, the value of the gift will increase, because the donee will make sure that you not only spent money on the gift, but also invested a little bit of soul in it. Such gifts for men are most often made in the technique of decoupage , which opens up spaces for imagination. Every member of the stronger sex has his hobbies, hobbies, preferences (hunting, fishing, cars, etc.). This may be the basis for the masculine theme of decoupage. If you decide to present a bottle of cognac, whiskey or other favorite drink as a gift to a man, for you this master class on decoupage will be interesting.
We will need:
- bottle;
- a napkin with a corresponding pattern;
- acrylic paints;
- varnish;
- foam rubber sponge;
- brush;
- Scotch;
- abrasive paper;
- scissors.
- As always, we start with the preparation of the bottle itself. To do this, it must be cleaned of labels, rinsed and degreased (you can use a dishwashing detergent or an ordinary alcohol). Dry the bottle covered with a layer of varnish, after drying, apply a thin layer of white paint, and then again cover with a layer of varnish. Such preparation is necessary for the subsequent layers of materials to lie flat. We recommend to wrap the cork with adhesive tape, so as not to stain it with paint.
- Further decoupage of bottles we continue preparation of a napkin with a picture on the man's subject. To do this, carefully peel off the napkin, separating the necessary fragments of the picture.
- We apply a thin layer of varnish to the surface of the bottle, and then apply the selected fragments of the pattern. Do not forget to gently, not to tear the napkin, remove air bubbles. When the varnish dries, apply a thin layer of varnish. Then sand the surface with a sandpaper, removing the roughness.
- Dilute a suitable paint with white so that the color of the solution matches the color scheme of the napkin. This is necessary to align the background. After painting, sand the bottle with a sandpaper and again coat with a layer of varnish.
- With the help of a hard brush we make accents with golden paint, we cover the bottle again with varnish. After drying, apply a layer of shellac varnish, which will serve as a protection against scratches. We remove the tape from the lid, and, finally, a stylish bottle, decorated with our own hands, is ready.
