Decorating festive bottles is one of the beautiful traditions of a modern wedding ceremony. They can be made by the bride herself, but you can present your future spouses with a cute gift created by yourself. Exquisitely decorated champagne will wait for its time: the first bottle will cork on the anniversary of the event, the second will be drunk for the health of the first child. Wedding bottle decor is not only a way to make young people happy, but also an excellent hobby for needlewomen.
Types of wedding bottles decor
Adorable holiday accessory can be made in any needlework technique. Most often other materials use satin ribbons, artificial flowers, fabric, lace and stained glass paints. According to the materials used, the decor is divided into the following types:
- decoupage;
- engraving;
- painting on glass;
- decoration with bows, feathers, beads;
- decoration with natural flowers and leaves;
- making flowers from metal plates, polymer clay and textiles;
- performance of wedding or national costumes.
The main requirement for the decor - it must meet the level of solemnity, in harmony with the dishes, decoration of the hall, dresses the newlyweds. Pompous gold engraving is out of place at a Provence wedding. Intricate roses, pendants, lace will perfectly fit into the refined ceremony in the aristocratic scenery.
These masterpieces are obtained by using hints on a profession or hobby, entering into marriage. A bottleneck twined with rope, miniature anchors and handwheels will suit the sailor groom, and the bride's enthusiasm for travel can be emphasized by tiny images of famous sights.
On the decoration of a commemorative bottle, dust will surely gather over time. To combat it, use an ordinary hair dryer.
Decoration with photos of young
The special charm of sparkling wedding wine gives photos of couples in love. Bottles acquire individuality, become a truly memorable gift. A photograph for a similar decor is selected by a tender, romantic, commensurate bottle.
A subtle point in this technique is to glue the photo so smoothly and carefully that there are no bubbles, creases and folds left. To do this, the image must be performed on a sufficiently thin paper. When using an inkjet printer is desirable photo ink, not leaking when in contact with water. The perfect result will give a color laser printer. In his absence, you can contact the printing house.
The photograph is placed instead of the label in the lower third of the bottle. You can frame it with a heart, accompany it with a wish letter, make it the center of a flower collage. The date of the wedding, the venue of the wedding, the names of the newlyweds, the time of the wedding will be appropriate.
Engraving
Engraving is one of the most sophisticated and impressive types of bottle decoration. Independently it can be done only by an artist with the necessary equipment. Therefore, engraving ordered in special workshops. With a time limit choose laser engraving. The desire to see a filigree ornament is provided by more expensive and long-term manual work.
Manual work is performed using diamond or special alloys. Sometimes drawing is applied on a thin layer of brass, which is subsequently glued to the bottle.
The engraver can order any inscription, including poems and warm wishes. Rings, hearts, cooing pigeons, flower motifs, even portraits and favorite aphorisms of the young - for this technique there are no barriers.
Of all the types of wedding decoration bottles engraving - the most long-lived. It will not darken with time, will not fall off, will not become dusty. The engraved bottle can be washed at any time under running water. This is a great talisman of longevity and unfading love.
You can decorate with engraving holiday glasses and newlyweds. With careful handling, they can take in a fizzy drink and calico, and at a diamond wedding, each time recalling the first marriage kiss.
DIY Handmade Decoration Classes
Future wives often decorate champagne on their own, demonstrating their handmade skills to guests. This is an echo of those times when a girl, going down the aisle, presented to her relatives embroidered tablecloths, towels, and shirts. Nowadays, decorated bottles can depict anything: figures of marriages, candles, flower fountains.
To decorate a holiday accessory with bottles, you first need to remove the labels. To do this, they put in warm soapy water. In half an hour the paper will easily go away by itself. From expensive grades on which glue is more qualitative, labels are rubbed with a metal dish sponge.
After that, the glass is degreased with acetone, alcohol or vodka. In any of these liquids, moisten a cotton pad, wipe the entire surface of the bottle and leave to dry.
Next, choose the technique of decoration, prepare materials, tools, create a sketch of the ornament. Trial drawing is done on paper in color in order to assess its harmony and balance. Below are a few simple master classes with step-by-step photos that are easy to bring to life.
Decoupage
Decoupage is a magic wand for those who cannot draw. Images are made in advance by the artist on plain or rice paper. They can only be cut and pasted on the smooth sides of a festive bottle. To work will require:
- thematic drawings printed on a decoupage map or a dining napkin;
- sharp scissors;
- acrylic primer and foam rubber sponge for its application;
- PVA glue (in a ratio of 1: 1 with water) or special decoupage;
- synthetic fan brush - it will not leave hairs on the finished work;
- small soft patches;
- varnish for fixing the pattern and protect the product from water.
For the application in the decoupage technique, pot-bellied bottles for House Perignon, Circle or Asti champagne are better suited to others - there is more space for them to accommodate the design. From thin paper it is simply cut, thick paper is first soaked in warm water and dried on a cloth.
The degreased surface cleaned from the labels is grounded with acrylic paint one or two tones lighter than the main pattern. After drying, the primer is applied on top of the selected images and soaked them generously with glue. The same brush expels air bubbles from under the paper, smoothes wrinkles.
After the glue has completely dried, the work is protected with three layers of varnish. To achieve the effect of antiquity use craquelure varnish.
To keep the bottle on weight when applying an application or painting, use two pieces of packing foam. In one of them, cut a groove under the neck, in the other - under the bottom.
Satin ribbons and beads
The charming decor of champagne for the wedding of a close friend is done by hand with satin ribbons with the addition of all sorts of little things: sequins, rhinestones, beads, semi-beads. The easiest way to make a bottle with ribbons is to braid it. This requires:
- 2.5 cm wide satin or brocade ribbons in matching colors;
- glue "Moment" marked "Crystal", which does not leave yellow spots;
- scissors and stationery knife.
Tape looped to the neck of the bottle, measure the desired length, cut off. From the seamy side of the tape, several glue dots are applied and glued to the bottle. So do the next loop, getting braided relief, reminiscent of masonry rustic.
The bottom of the bottle can be wrapped with horizontal stripes of tape. In this case, it is important that the seam is in the middle. It is processed in two ways.
- The seam is left open at the back, but the edges of the tape are slightly burned with a cigarette lighter so that the threads do not ruffle.
- The front seam is decorated with flowers and bows. Special chic - use Japanese kanzashi jewelry.
A large flower on the front of the bottle can be further decorated with strings of beads or a long narrow feather.
Bride and Groom Suit
The bottles decorated for wedding dresses of the newlyweds look exquisitely on the table. In this case, it is important to know in advance the style and colors of their clothes. Modern brides often choose not white dresses, but pink, vanilla, mint. The groom's suit is also not necessarily black.
You can make copies of young dresses from:
- slanting bake;
- satin or silk ribbons;
- rags of expensive fabrics: brocade, velvet, taffeta.
- corrugations - special paper for scrapbooking, having a clear fold.
The groom's bottle is woven around so that the top two or three layers of tape or paper imitate the shirt collar, and all subsequent layers are a jacket. A bow tie is attached to the neck, small button beads are centered, and a rose in a buttonhole is on the left side.
The material for the bridesmaid dress is selected as closely as possible according to the texture and color. A braid is made on the top of the bottle, the lower third is turned into a full skirt made of organza, guipure, and gas. If the newlywed woman chose a narrow dress, the outlines of the bottle are left strict. Lace, artificial flowers, small decorative accessories are used for decoration.
Polymer clay flowers
Sculpting from polymer clay requires skills or at least watching a thematic video. Acquainted with the basics of work and instructions for using clay, you can perform a simple composition of flowers. The work will require gloves, a stationery knife and an oven in which the molded products are baked.
Delicate colors of polymer clay are well in tune with each other, two or three of the most suitable are chosen from them. Prepare a sketch and mold each petal, twigs, leaves. To do this, a piece of material is rolled out in the form of a stick, cut into plates with a knife and hands give them the desired look.
From the finished parts make up the flowers, laid out on a heat-resistant basis and sent to the oven. Roasting temperature (110-130 degrees) is always indicated on the clay packaging. If the temperature is not observed, the material either loses its color or becomes brittle.
When heated, polymer clay changes its structure and releases toxic substances. The oven after its presence is thoroughly washed and ventilated.
The finished fragments of the flower composition are attached to the bottle with superglue. They can be supplemented with beads, pearl beads, stained glass contour.
Painted
Stylish wedding bottles are obtained if dark green glass is simply painted with stained glass paints without the addition of other materials. In addition to the colors themselves, you need to prepare:
- contour for glass of gold color;
- washable marker closest to the color of the contour color;
- acetone for rinsing brushes.
The initial drawing is applied to the bottle with a marker, can be in the form of dashed lines. Over the marker draw a contour. After it dries, the traces of the marker are removed with warm water and soap, while simultaneously degreasing the surface.
Inside the closed contours, light bright colors are applied with a brush: green, yellow, red. It is convenient to mix them in an aluminum mold for tartlets. Sharpened match draw branches, stamens, vines, small insects, make the transitions between shades. Some fine details can be scratched with a needle on dried paint.
The wedding will fade, guests will go away, toasts will be forgotten, the solemn hall will be laid for another holiday, but two elegant bottles will remain. For a whole year they will remind the young how happy they were to meet the dawn of their family life.
