Its a great way to upcycle jars!
Have fun creating this beautiful decor using different paint colors and designs.
Start making your own now and let Ivelisse give you the step-by-step instructions in the video below.
To make the drying faster, set it in front of a fan.
The white matte paint acts as a primer.
Next, add a coat of dark color that will show through the cracks, then let it dry.
If you want it clear underneath, skip the two coats of paint and proceed to step 3.
Step 2:
While the dark paint is drying, prepare the paper napkins.
Cut out all the designs you want to use from the napkins.
This method will make it look more rustic.
Then lightly wet your fingertips and press the napkin in-between to remove the plies of paper.
Step 3:
Next, crackle the bottle.
Use soft and stiff bristle brushes for this step.
Using the stiff brush, coat a section of the bottle as fast as you might.
You dont want the glue to dry before putting the paint over it.
Dont put too much and too thin just the right amount of glue.
Now take the soft brush and load it with paint.
Lightly brush the paint on top of the glue.
When its no longer gliding, dip the brush into the paint.
Immediately place the wine bottle in front of a fan or use a hair dryer in a cool setting.
Note that faster drying time results in more cracks, and air drying doesnt work.
Finish the rest of the sections.
Step 4:
Decoupage the paper napkin designs onto the bottle.
Using a brush and a mod podge, place glue onto the part where youll put the designs.
Then using a crumbled piece of plastic wrap, lightly smooth out the wrinkles.
Cover it again with mod podge and go from the center to an outward direction.
Repeat the method for all the designs but let each one dry before putting another one.
Let it dry and seal after.
