Decorated bottles - a symbolic gift for a wedding celebration, a child’s birthday, the anniversary of family life, Easter, New Year, February 23 or March 8. The present is not only carefully decorated, but also tastefully selected contents, so that in a couple of years it can be uncorked and treat yourself to aged wine. Bottles are made out using original, thematic elements, as well as to imitate a couple (men and women), which they dress up in makeshift “suits” of ribbons and fabric. Methods of decorating glass containers mass. Among them, the most popular are:
Decoupage. Transfer of the picture from the base with the subsequent application of a layer of fixing varnish.
Stucco molding. Drawing a relief ornament or composition on glass and staining it.
Salt or “colored” sand. Refers to the decoration of containers from the inside.
With a mosaic effect of pieces of fabric, broken glass, ceramics.
Painting.Mostly acrylic paints are used.
Weaving with ropes, threads, twine.
Staining inside. Looks impressive when using compositions with sparkles.
Etching patterns. Based on a chemical reaction. As a result, the glass is transparent matte.
Decor cereals and pasta.
Decoration with beads, beads, glass beads, cabochons.
Decoration with ribbons and fabric.
The latter view includes a number of techniques. Each of them uses simple and affordable materials. You can create a luxurious floral arrangement or reproduce the national costume in detail. Let's talk in more detail about the ribbons and the possibilities that they open in decorating.
To work with tapes, you need a set of simple tools that can be found in every home. If this is the first experience in decorating bottles, then it is best to start with simple design solutions to get your hand filled. To work, you will need:
Sharp scissors.
Glue that fits well on glass. It’s better to use the “Moment”.
Braid, lace, shreds of fabric.
Accessories: beads, beads, buttons, cabochons.
Tweezers to create miniature elements.
Tapes.
The main material also has a number of variations:
Satin. Most commonly used due to suppleness and elegant aesthetic appearance.
Silk. Finer and slippery material.
Satin They have a denser structure, and the fiber pattern is visible to the naked eye.
Jacquard. Decorated with original drawings.
Organza ribbons. The material is translucent and airy.
Cotton They keep their shape well, therefore they are suitable for creating volumetric compositions.
Each of the above types is used by needlewomen to decorate bottles, but the most popular material is atlas.It combines the optimal ratio of quality and price.
Complex compositions from combined materials look original. For example, cotton flowers surrounded by satin petals or the same background.
Bottle preparation
Both empty and full containers must be properly prepared for the procedure. First remove the label and glue residue with it. There are two methods to complete this procedure:
Soak the label paper in hot water and then tear it off abruptly. The method is not considered the most effective, since often the glue remains on the glass and it has to be scraped off.
Heat the label with dry, hot air and slowly tear off a centimeter. A hair dryer turned on at full power can act as a source of flow.
After cleaning the glass, it is thoroughly washed and dried. Then the surface of the bottle is wiped with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol. Thus, the glass will be degreased, which will provide a good "grip" with glue. Tapes are usually pre-cut after measurements.
Ribbon Decoration
Decorating a bottle of champagne or wine with your own hands is not such a difficult task. Several workshops with a step-by-step description of the work will tell you about popular techniques and the features of their execution, and the novice designer can only choose. The simplest option: creating a fabric coating on the glass with “layers”. Work begins with a neck. From a piece of tape make a "loop", which is worn on the thinnest section of glass containers.
If necessary, its ends are trimmed and glued to the surface of the bottle. Then they take the next strip, create the same “loop”, partially impose it on the previous layer (so that the base does not peep) and also attach it. Thus create a continuous fabric coating with beautiful joints (overlays). Colors and materials combine. Then the resulting background is complemented by other decorative elements.
Create a relief
Another technique is the creation of embossed texture. The effect is achieved by gluing tapes or pieces of textile to the surface, followed by compressing them with your fingers. As a result, folds are formed that most accurately mimic the delicate fabric of clothing. It is necessary to glue the entire piece completely, and not its individual parts. As a base, paper or another fabric of a neutral shade is attached to the glass.
Kazashi technique
To create flower arrangements, the kazashi (kazashi) technique is used, which appeared in Japan, where girls crowned their heads with similar ornaments. Many saw complex floral arrangements with hanging “buds” on long strings, flaunted on the high hairstyles of women in the east. The essence of the method is the special folding of the shreds and pieces of tape so that the sharp and rounded ends of the leaves and petals are obtained.
They are carefully assembled with tweezers, and the free ends are fixed to the surface with glue. Elements with multi-layered flower buds look the most beautiful. In the technique, the kazakhs collect petals and lay on top of one another the same type of workpiece, but of different sizes and colors. Thus, a volumetric effect is achieved. Cossack flowers combine with lace, beads, braid.
Shibori Technique
Another gift from Japan is shibori ribbons. Most often they are used to create body jewelry (necklaces, earrings, bracelets), but they are also suitable for bottles. The tape is a “squeezed” piece of fabric that is painted in different colors with the ombre effect. When creating the material, it is crumpled and tied into knots, so that the result is a rainbow color, which opens the way for the master’s imagination. Shibori tape is usually glued to the fabric base, but in the case of a bottle, it is attached directly to the glass. It is worth noting that the material without additional decor looks impressive, but boring.Ribbons are always surrounded by various kinds of accessories, among which beads, cabochons and bugles prevail in tone with the main color. The composition acquires volume due to folds of material and looks festive solemnly.
Ribbon Costumes
On the most “masculine” day, a bottle of cognac that is “dressed” in shape will be a non-trivial gift for the stronger sex. Of particular importance will be a similar present for a military man, rescuer, or police officer. From satin ribbons make out the jacket, which is decorated with miniature chevrons, shoulder straps, buttons and ties with clips.
The costume is created using the technique of overlapping ribbons. Near the neck form the first white layers that mimic the collar. Then green, black or blue stripes (depending on the type of troops) make out the uniform. Some craftswomen sew it separately from the fabric, and then simply put it on the bottle. Special attention is paid to the neck and cork. They are decorated with tiny berets, caps, capes, caps or caps. Sew the elements separately and simply attach the finished miniature headgear to the neck.
Bottles for the wedding
The bride and groom are always presented with two bottles of champagne for the wedding. This is an established tradition, the roots of which can no longer be found. At the wedding, they act as decor on the festive table. After the celebration, they are hidden and the first is opened exactly a year later, and the second - for the appearance of the first-born couple. As a rule, containers are decorated either in the form of symbolic bride and groom, or under the general theme of the wedding. The necks are decorated with doves (symbols of fidelity), rings and satin bows. They try to make the costumes of the “bottle” bride and groom look like the originals.
Men's clothing - a black jacket or tuxedo, with a ribbon tied with a bow-tie, beads, buttons and miniature cufflinks. To imitate the bride’s dress, lace, lace, airy fabrics, tulle, and sometimes even wire crinoline are used.Bottles decorated in the theme of the wedding are wrapped with layers of ribbons of beautiful colors, which are combined with artificial pearls, delicate stripes, beads, bows and voluminous flowers. The neck of the “female” container is decorated with a miniature diadem with a veil, and hats or top hats are put on the “male” one.
Interesting are the compositions with candlesticks and glasses, which are decorated in the same style. Some weddings also use boutonnieres, woven baskets from ribbons or paraphernalia around young chairs in the same color scheme and with similar motifs.
Conclusion
Ribbon bottle decor is a popular craft among handmade lovers. To create simple compositions, you don’t have to pore over handfuls of beads or do delicate work with “diamond” stones and tweezers. A little patience, a bit of inspiration and improvised materials - that’s all that is needed for a “pen test” in this design direction. But then you will become the giver of the most original gifts, which will be a pity to open.
