Hello friends!
Hope you are having a great day! It is Teacher's day today and I wish all the teachers out there a very happy teachers' day.
I still wish I can go back to school or college and life the simple life with only studies to worry about! Sigh! Gone are those days!!
Coming back here!, today I ought to be sharing some cards for my teachers (which I will post soon) but I am sharing a decoupage upcycle project that I recently did.
I had this amazing papers from Bob and Betty and the designs were just exquisite that I refused using them up for a long time. But then the perfect opportunity came along and I found the perfect object to alter. It was a glass bottle with a flip stopper cap. Here is how it looks altered from a plain glass bottle version...
Steps to achieve this effect:
Let me know what you feel fellas!

Steps to achieve this effect:
- Sand your bottle down with fine grit sand paper so that the Gesso/primer adheres better.
- Apply several coats of white acrylic paint/spray paint/gesso to give a base coat. I had good coverage with Gesso.
- Next, apply the design you want with a Decoupage Glue. Here I have used ModPodge to adhere the peacock design onto the bottle.
- Once adhered, make sure there are no air bubbles between the paper and object and give a couple of coats of ModPodge on top of the paper.
- Paint the rest of the bottle with desired colors. I have gone for a night sky effect with blues and black hues with a starry effect.
- For added interest, you can add some stamping as well. I have used kaiser-craft script stamp to give a slightly vintage effect.
Let me know what you feel fellas!
