Decoupage of bottles with eggshell

In almost every apartment you can find a bit of junk material. To whom it is a pity to throw out a beautiful bottle from spirits, at whom the hand does not rise to get rid of cuttings of wall-paper after repair. In this article, we propose to consider an interesting variant of decorating bottles with an egg shell. So you can decorate and a bottle for a gift.

Decoupage of eggshell: master class

For work we need the following materials:

• a bottle of wine or other liquor of interesting shape;
• alcohol for surface treatment;
• eggshell;
• napkins, glue and brushes for decoupage;
• soil (its color should fit the main background of the napkin).

Now consider a simple step-by-step instruction for decorating bottles with an egg shell.

1. Carefully launder the bottle. Under a stream of hot water we remove all labels and labels.
2. After complete drying, degrease the surface with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. You can use detergent.
3. As a primer, water-based or acrylic paint is suitable. Water emulsion is very convenient in operation, since any pigment can be added to the white base and the desired shade can be selected.
4. Cut off a small piece of sponge to wash dishes, dunk it in the paint and work on the surface of the bottle.
5. We leave to dry up. For water-based paint, about 15 minutes is enough, acrylic dries even less.
6. To achieve a more even shade, we apply the second layer in the same way. Due to the sponge the surface is uniform and without divorce.
7. The second layer will dry for at least half an hour.
8. While the foundation dries up, let's take the second stage of the master class for decapping the egg shell. Cut out the appropriate motifs from the napkin.
9. We put the image on the file and moisten it with water from the atomizer. Then carefully transfer the image to the substrate.
10. Further we work in the usual technique of decoupage using glue and brush. Leave the workpiece to dry for the whole night.
11. Decoupage from the egg shell begins with the preparation of the material. The shell must be rinsed well, cleaned of film and dried.
12. Decoration of bottles with eggshell occurs in two stages: first glaze the surface with glue, then use tweezers or toothpicks to lay out a mosaic of pieces.
13. The shell will be glued to the bottom and top of the bottle so that the image remains in the middle.
14. Let's dry for at least 20 minutes.
15. Above, we apply a layer of paint to the sponge, which was used for the background. For hard-to-reach places and the edge of the napkin, you can use a brush.
16. The final stage of decoupage bottles with eggshells is to work the surface with a darker shade of paint.
17. At the end we fix everything with varnish and decoupage of bottles with eggshell is ready.

Decoupage of bottles can be done simply with the help of napkins , or you can add fabric for bulkiness.
