Step by step instructions for decorating with twine

Twine - durable thread made from natural or chemical fibers (or combinations thereof). The decoration of the bottle with a string is a fairly simple type of needlework. You can buy this kind of twine at any hardware store or shops for hand made craftswomen. A few simple manipulations, a minimum of tools, materials and an ordinary glass container turns into an original gift. She does not lose her practical purpose. Such decorated vessel is used for different purposes:

Little vase. Simple wildflowers and exquisite roses will look good in hand-made flowerpots.
The element of interior decor. Bottles, decorated with twine, are the best suited for the interior in the style of "Eco". Thanks to the designers who invented 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 pretty do-it-yourself trinkets.
Beautiful capacity for drinks. Homemade lemonade, liquid sorbet, juice - all these wonderful drinks will seem even tastier if served in a beautiful container.

Council Not only empty vessels decorate with a string. A gift in the form of a bottle with wine decorated with twine is another version of a festive souvenir.

To decorate bottles with a string with your own hands, you need to stock up on such materials and tools:

Bottle for decor;
Twine cut;
Acetone or alcohol;
Glue "Moment" or thermal glue;
Scissors;
Glue gun.

This kind of needlework is not difficult. It can even be performed by a child:

Wash off. To start the decor with a bottle of twine you need, after washing them, cleaning the stickers and drying 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.
Wrap. Next comes the decoration of the bottles with a string.

How to wind glass container with twine?

Decorating bottles with a string with their own hands is not done in a random order. When “wrapping” bottles you need to adhere to several rules:

Need to start from the bottom. Apply glue to it and simply fold the thread "snail" from the center to the edges of the bottom. It is necessary to put the twine tightly and evenly so that it turns out neatly, it looked beautiful. On the bottom edge also need to impose a thread so that the container does not lose stability.
Then the bottle inlay is continued with a string from the bottom up to the neck. In this case, the rope should lie parallel to the bottom. If at least one layer "rolls over", then the rest will fit each time more crookedly. The twine decor will be a failure.
The neck is wrapped last. The thread must be well fixed so that it will not unwind later. The twine decor is ready.

Council Do not glue the entire surface at once. You will be difficult to work. It is better to coat the glass with glue gradually, in parts. Then the glue does not dry too quickly, does not stick to hands.

The decor of the container, decorated with twine, can be supplemented with pieces of lace, buttons, fabric flowers. Using glue, twist circles from threads of different colors, glue them to the workpiece. You will have a beautiful vessel for the kitchen in the style of American "country" or French "Provence". Decor bottle twine and coffee - another idea for the design of glass containers. Coffee beans are stuck on top of the threads. Here you can fully show your creative inclinations. Fragrant grains are simply “scattered” on the surface or glued in the form of an ornament, pattern, composition.

Decorating bottles and cans with colored threads and lace

Simple, but beautiful and elegant decor looks from the twine with your own hands, complemented by lace. They are glued by stripe or squares over the "winding". You can complicate the decor, sticking alternately lace strips, then winding with twine. Or focus on the beauty of glass - wrap only the bottom and 1/3 of the bottom. Glue the lace strip over the wrapped part, tie it with a string of twine, forming a small bow, glue a few beads or pendant from above.

Decor with twine or twine is not the only design technique. To create a colorful, bright crafts using colored threads. And in this case, freedom is granted in the winding technique. A can or bottle turns around smoothly or randomly like a tangle. For this method it is better to pick up the threads of different colors. The main thing is to glue layers of thread so that they do not lag behind each other.

Decor bottle with twine and salt

Salt is an excellent material for "creative workshop" of needlewomen. Decorating the bottle with twine and salt is done in two ways:

The decor is salt from the inside;
The decor is salt outside.

Decorate with salt from the inside. Kids will love this simple technique. It is simple, fascinating, develops their creativity, allows you to have fun with your parents. A child will be able to make a colorful gift to friends or relatives.

Materials:

Beautiful bottle or jar;
Acetone or alcohol;
Salt with large crystals;

Step 1. Painting salt.
Step 2. Formation of layers.

Salt is painted as follows:

A little salt is poured into the container.
Top paint is filled with the desired color. The intensity of the shade can be adjusted by adding or removing paint and salt.
Mix well to make the salt a uniform color.
The oven warms up to 100C. In it the baking sheet with the painted salt for 1 hour is located.
After 60 minutes, the baking tray goes, salt is shifted and passed through a sieve.

The blank for the first layer is ready. Now you need to make salt a few more shades of the same technology. Now it's time to start forming layers.

Layers are stacked in different thicknesses and colors. How to create a beautiful range, what should be the levels of the layers will be prompted by your creative intuition. For the convenience of putting salt in layers, it is better to use a funnel.

Now it remains only to seal the bottle (jar) with a cork or cap. The original crafts are ready.

Council The cork and cover can be decorated with a piece of beautiful fabric, coarse hessian, lace, ribbon, foil, a napkin for decoupage, twine. It all depends on the color palette and design ideas.

Salt the outside

The bottle decoration with string can be complicated if it is additionally decorated with salt from the outside. Such design turns out incredibly refined. There is the effect of white haze, perspiration, hoarfrost. Best of all with such a decoration will look capacity of a dark color.

What is needed for this?

A bottle, jar or other dark colored glass container;
Salt;
PVA glue);
Brush;
Twine;
Glue gun;
Elements of decor.

Instruction:

Step 3. Then apply a layer of PVA with a brush on the surface remaining free of the thread. Sprinkle with salt, turn the container in different directions.

This decor will become more refined if you use another simple technique. For this you will need additional materials:

Sponge;
Acrylic paint;
Eraser (0.5 cm wide).

Instructions. The first two steps coincide with the previous instruction. After the bottle is decorated with a string, the container is decorated a little differently:

The part free from threads is wrapped with elastic. The bands are parallel to each other, intersect, go in a spiral or are placed in arbitrary directions.
Acrylic paint is applied with a sponge where there are no threads and the bottle is wrapped with rubber. Give the workpiece to dry completely.
The surface is treated with white glue.
Salt is sprinkled on paper. Roll the bottle in this "powder". Care must be taken to ensure that the layer is uniform.
When the salt layer is dry, the gum will need to be removed.

The instruction consists of several steps:

Turn the bottle upside down, fix it in a container of the appropriate diameter.
Using a special nozzle, drill a small hole (2.5 cm) in 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 by passing them through the neck of the tank.

Using sandpaper and a pencil, clean the cut edges.
Using a glue gun, stick the crystals, starting from the bottom upwards. If multicolored beads are used, they can be placed in strips, patterns, spirals or in any order.
When the vessel is decorated, leave it until it is completely dry.
Place Christmas lights inside the tank. The lamp is ready. All you need to do is turn it on and feel the wonderful atmosphere it radiates.
