Decoupage of bottles with napkins with their own hands: a master class for beginners

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

1. We take a glass bottle and prepare it for decoration: we remove stickers, we clean the surface with sandpaper. Alternatively, you can soak the bottle in soapy water.
2. Degrease the surface with alcohol, acetone or any other alcohol-containing product.
3. We cover it with a primer, which will serve as a substrate for the next layer.
4. Make the second layer of acrylic paint. To do this, take a disposable plate, pour in it the paint of the desired color. Consistency should be similar to sour cream. If the paint is too thick, then you can add a small amount of water. Particular attention should be given to the color of the substrate: it should be lighter than the background color of the used napkin. We let the second layer dry.
5. Next, we darken the main background with acrylic paints. In this case, you can not paint the entire bottle, but only some parts, for example, the neck. For the application of paint, it is more convenient to use a foam sponge.
6. From three-layer napkins we cut out with the help of manicure scissors the pictures chosen in advance. For decoupage, only the top layer of the napkin is needed, which is glued onto the bottle.
7. We apply glue to the bottle in the location of the picture.
8. We put a napkin on the bottle and start brushing it over the napkin in order to remove all irregularities and bubbles. It is important to carefully and slowly spread the image with a brush, since the glued tissue is thin enough and can easily tear.
9. After all the pictures are glued, you need to re-apply glue on top to fix the result.
10. The next layer is an acrylic lacquer that will help protect the image on the bottle. If you apply three layers of varnish, then the bottle can be used actively in everyday life (wash, wipe, etc.).
