Hello! Continuing the topic of gifts, I want to share my little experience, we can come in handy! In my already "good" traditions, I apologize for the quality of the photo. As soon as they sit down, it is possible to do something, it immediately finds out that the battery on the camera was sat down, and at hand there is always a ready phone .. well ...
I took a bottle of cognac, with a plug cap, as functionality after the decor should be saved (in my case). I tried to wash the labels, for some reason this process did not reach the end, I do not remember, I don't remember that I prevented, and then I decided that they would not hurt me, so as a result, it turned out.
I cooled the bottle of PVA construction, let me dry. The egg shell from raw eggs I kept in advance, broke their largest. Fracting PVA glue small areas, I glued a mosaic shell on the glass.
The process is long and tedious, even the TV does not help! Slices of shells were quite large, it seemed to be so comfortable. But then my oglo ... Favorite son I climbed into my eggs and fingers broke them into pieces almost two, and even three times smaller than I had initially. I decided that everything was spoiled (well, not everything, of course, and shell). Handing inserting, I tried to stick small pieces and it turned out that I like it so even more, so trying in different ways, small pieces easier to put together to each other, it turns out almost puzzles! I didn't have the bottom of the bottom.
When all this finally dried, I covered a bottle of white acrylic paint, with a brush, painting and cracking, twice. I did not photograph this moment, so here is an acrylic paint photo. :) Here I have this:
I caught the third layer of paint already with a sponge, because from a tough tassel (to clean the cracks, it was necessary to be tough) traces on the shell remained. Then (taking this opportunity - thank you huge my girlfriend with a yug) I took a gold paint, borrowed from my girlfriend (Yulchik, I honestly, return!)
With this "gold" I painted small areas, painting the cracks, then a cotton disk, moistened in the water, immediately wiped the "superfluous", it turned out that:
For decoupage I had such a napkin:
Accordingly, we take the 1/4 part:
Whether the Italian courtyard, or Greek ... Beauty, not a napkin! We use only the upper layer of three, with a drawing
Further the process was not photographed !!!!!! Because, in contrast to sticking the shell, this process was exciting !! And it was very no time! I will describe: from 1/4 napkins I rang out the element we need, applying and simply by the bottle. Then he spread PVA with water, attached our element to the bottle as we already see it ideally, and began to quickly and gently miss the tassel with glue surface of the napkin, from the middle to the edges. Since it is deformed by the liquid, tighten a little to the edges, but since I also had a bottle with subway, it was even helped. When everything was punctured, the tassel is more soft (maybe you need and hard, I don't know exactly, but it turned out everything), as if "nailed" from above, neatly, bubbles. When everything is dry, it turned out that the napkin "penetrated" into all the cracks, it turned out, in my opinion, it is interesting.
Type view near:
I forgot: The cap-cork on top, in the center, had the manufacturer's logo, I ghostly glued a piece of one of the layers of napkins onto it. When he is millet, the pieces of shells were pasted on top, then the center with the "eggs" was scratched, like a bottle. Then the circle was passed on the circle with a pattern from a napkin, and around the cap-cork was scratched into two layers of "gold" paint.
In the end, the bottle, its lid (except for the part, where the plug, naturally ...) were three times covered with acrylic varnish. I have this:
He dries quickly, no sharp smell does not have that it cannot but rejoice in the absence of a separate workshop.
Since this is a gift, it was necessary to add something for "elegacity" and solemnity, but what can be removed as unnecessary. A golden cord was removed to the light, a pretty button was purchased with insertion "under metal". Making a loop, which can be easily removed from the neck, I sewed a button from behind to the cords, dried with a "moment-crystal" glue, the ends of the cords dissolved. Result:
Well, of course, some completely unnecessary things have been played behind in the photo! According to the law of meanness! But you did not notice them? That's good!
