Glass bottle decoupage how to

A new glass bottle decoupage project. My friend likes the bottles, I make. So, I decided to make her one, too. Here it is:

It used to be a green glass wine bottle. Most likely, she’d use it for sunflower oil, so this napkin suggested itself to me.

Here are some decoupage tips:

That’s the first time I covered it with white paint. I had to repaint it at least 3 times.

Here is a decoupage tip #1: Apply some spirit based window cleaner to the bottle, after you wash it. This will remove all the fat off it. Then you paint would get stuck better to it.

When it dried up, I cut out my napkin pattern. Here is how I apply it to the bottle.

Decoupage how to tip #2: I apply transparent polish very sparingly to the bottle, then I apply the napkin. It does not get soaked up with the polish and does not wrinkle much.

When you adjust it nicely, put more polish on. I also polished it several times and put polish on the top of paint. That is a quick glass bottle decoupage how to.

I have already posted here about the unsafely of keeping your vegetable oil in plastic bottles. Here is another decoupage how to on decorating a glass bottle for storing your vegetable oil.

The first step is to clean the bottle well. I washed it and left it to dry up. The next step on our decoupage how to is to paint the bottle. I used white acrylic paint and a green dye for it. I also used roller to apply the pain. I applied it twice.

Then I got a flower napkin.

A little tip here: instead of cutting out the flower pattern of the napking, I used my fingers to tear it off. This makes the flowers look more natural, when you apply them to the bottle. This way you decoupage looks more like a painting.

This is the front side of the bottle:

I applied the napkin to the bottle using transparent polish. First, I applied a thin layer of it onto the bottle, got the flower stuck to it. And, used more polished to get it applied to the bottle. When the first polish layer dried up, I covered up the entire bottle with the polish. This is my easy decoupage how to for a glass bottle.
