Twine is a strong thread made from natural or chemical fibers (or a combination thereof). Twine bottle decor is a fairly simple kind of needlework. This kind of twine can be purchased at any hardware store or shops for hand made craftswomen. A few simple manipulations, a minimum of tools, materials and an ordinary glass container turn into an original gift. She does not lose her practical purpose. Such a decorated vessel is used for various purposes:
The container for cereals.The decor of the cans with twine, as well as a tag with the name of the products (salt, sugar, rice, buckwheat) is a great idea for decorating kitchen shelves.
Vase Simple wildflowers and exquisite roses will look good in hand made flowerpots.
Interior decoration element. Bottles, decorated with twine, are perfectly suited for the interior in the style of "Eco". Thanks to the designers who came up with the interior of the premises using natural materials and beautifully beat the idea of exquisite simplicity. It remains for us to supplement their idea with cute trinkets made by our own hands.
Beautiful capacity for drinks. Homemade lemonade, liquid sorbet, juice - all these wonderful drinks will seem even tastier if served in a beautiful vessel.
Tip. Decorate with twine not only empty vessels. Present in the form of a bottle of wine decorated with twine is another option for a holiday souvenir.
To make the decor of the bottles with twine with your own hands, you need to stock up with such materials and tools:
Bottle for decor;
Twine cut;
Acetone or alcohol;
Glue "Moment" or thermal glue;
Scissors;
Glue gun.
This type of needlework is not difficult. It can be performed even by a child:
Wash. You need to start the decor with the twine of the bottles, after having washed them, having cleaned the stickers and dried them.
Degrease. In order for the glue to fit well on the bottle, and the rope to glue, it is necessary to treat the surface with acetone or alcohol.
To wrap. The following is the decoration of the bottles with twine.
How to wrap a glass container with twine?
Do-it-yourself twine bottle decoration is not done in random order. When “wrapping” bottles, you need to adhere to several rules:
You need to start from the bottom. Put glue on it and just fold the thread "snail" from the center to the edges of the bottom. It is necessary to lay the twine tightly, evenly, so that it turns out neatly, it looks beautiful.A thread must also be applied to the bottom edge so that the container does not lose stability.
Then the decor of the bottle continues with twine from the bottom up to the neck. In this case, the rope should lie parallel to the bottom. If at least one layer “tilts”, then the rest will fit more and more curve each time. The twine decor will be a failure.
The neck wraps last. The thread must be well fixed so that it does not subsequently unwind. The twine decor is ready.
Tip. Do not glue the entire surface at once. It will be difficult for you to work. It is better to coat the glass with glue in stages, in parts. Then the glue does not dry too quickly, does not stick to the hands.
The decor of a container decorated with twine can be supplemented with pieces of lace, buttons, flowers made of fabric. Using glue, twist the circles of threads of different colors, glue them to the workpiece. You will get a wonderful vessel for the kitchen in the style of the American "country" or the French "Provence". The decor of bottles with twine and coffee is another idea for the design decoration of glass containers. Coffee beans are glued over the threads. Here you can fully demonstrate your creative inclinations. Fragrant grains simply "scatter" on the surface or stick in the form of an ornament, pattern, composition.
Making bottles and cans with multi-colored threads and lace
Simple, but beautifully and elegantly looks the decor of twine with your own hands, complemented by lace. They are glued with a strip or squares on top of the "winding". You can complicate the decor by gluing lace alternately in strips, then wrapping it with twine. Or focus on the beauty of glass - wrap only the bottom and 1/3 of the bottom. Glue a lace strip over the wrapped part, tie it with a cord of twine, forming a small bow, glue several beads or a pendant on top.
Decor with twine or twine is not the only method of decoration.To create a colorful, bright crafts using multi-colored threads. Moreover, in this case freedom is provided in the technique of winding. A can or a bottle wraps smoothly or randomly, like a ball. For this method, it is better to choose threads of different colors. The main thing is to glue the layers of threads so that they do not lag behind each other.
Bottle decor with twine and salt
Salt is an excellent material for the "creative workshop" of needlewomen. Decorating the bottle with twine and salt is done in two ways:
Decor with salt from the inside;
Decor with salt outside.
Garnish with salt from the inside. This simple technique will really please the kids. It is simple, fascinating, develops their creativity, allows you to have fun with your parents. The child will be able to make a colorful gift to friends or relatives.

A beautiful bottle or jar;
Acetone or alcohol;
Salt with large crystals;
Multi-colored paints. Gouache or acrylic is best.

Step 1. Salt painting.
Step 2. Formation of layers.
Salt is colored as follows:
A little salt is poured into the container.
Top paint is filled in the desired color. The intensity of the shade can be adjusted by adding or removing paint and salt.
Mix thoroughly so that the salt acquires a uniform color.
The oven warms up to 100C. A baking sheet with colored salt is placed in it for 1 hour.
After 60 minutes, the pan comes out, the salt is crushed and passed through a sieve.
The blank for the first layer is ready. Now you need to make salt of several more shades using the same technology. Now it's time to start forming layers.
Layers are stacked in different thicknesses and colors. How to create a beautiful gamut, what should be the levels of the layers will tell you your creative intuition. For the convenience of spreading salt in layers, it is better to use a funnel.
Now it remains only to plug the bottle (jar) with a stopper or cap. The original craft is ready.
Tip.The cork and lid can be decorated with a piece of beautiful cloth, rough burlap, lace, ribbon, foil, decoupage napkin, twine. It all depends on the color palette and design ideas.
Decorate with salt outside
The decor of the bottle with twine can be complicated if you decorate it additionally with salt on the outside. This design is incredibly exquisite. The effect of white haze, sweat, hoarfrost appears. Dark-colored containers will look best with such decor.
What is needed for this?
A bottle, can or other glass containers of a dark color;
Salt;
PVA glue);
Brush;
Twine;
Glue gun;
Decor Elements.
Instruction:
Step 1. Clean, wash the container. Dry, degrease with acetone (alcohol).
Step 2. Using a glue gun and twine, decorate the vessel 1⁄2 or 1/3 using the instructions above.
Step 3. Then, with a brush, apply a layer of PVA to the surface remaining free of thread. Sprinkled with salt, turn the container in different directions.
This decor will become more refined if you use another simple trick. For this, additional materials will be needed:
Sponge;
Acrylic paint;
Elastic band (0.5 cm wide).
Instruction The first two steps are the same as the previous instructions. After the bottle is decorated with twine, the container is decorated a little differently:
The part free from threads is wrapped with an elastic band. The stripes are parallel to each other, intersect, go in a spiral or are placed in arbitrary directions.
Acrylic is applied with a sponge where there are no threads and the bottle is wrapped with elastic. Allow the workpiece to dry completely.
The surface is treated with PVA glue.
Salt is sprinkled on paper. Blend the bottle in this “powder”. It is necessary to ensure that the layer is uniform.
When the salt layer has dried, the gum will need to be removed.
Tip. Salt can be used not only white, but also multi-colored.If you lay it out with patterns or stripes, then the coating on the bottle will turn out in the form of a beautiful ornament.
Crystal decoration - create a night lamp with your own hands
The idea itself sounds beautiful, doesn't it? Such bottles look incredibly impressive, especially if you highlight them. Multi-colored glare, multiply multiplied by crystals, will paint dull weekdays and create a good mood.

Multi-colored crystals or glass beads. Glass round pebbles that use flower growers to cover the ground in flowers will do. They can be bought at many flower shops.
Sandpaper.
Drill.
Glue gun.
LED Christmas lights-garlands.
The instruction consists of several steps:
Turn the bottle upside down, fix it in a container of suitable diameter. Using a special nozzle, drill a small hole (2.5 cm) at the bottom of the bottle. Through it, LED lights will later fit inside.
Important. If you do not have the skills to work with a drill, ask someone to help or put the lights of the garland inside, passing them through the neck of the container.
Using sandpaper and a pencil, peel off the cut edges.
Using a glue gun, glue the crystals, starting from the bottom in the upward direction. If multi-colored beads are used, then you can place them in stripes, patterns, spirals or in any order.
When the vessel is decorated, leave it until it is completely dry.
Place the Christmas lights inside the container. The lamp is ready. All you need to do is turn it on and experience the wonderful atmosphere that it radiates.
Such a lamp from a bottle will be a creative gift for friends, it will beautifully illuminate the room with a soft light, suitable for any holiday.
