Altered Bottle with Volume Decoupage

Volume Decoupage

      Hi friends sharing an altered bottle with bright red lilies made using the technique of 3 D Volume Decoupage.

       I applied gesso to  and later painted a glass bottle with white acrylic paint .Since I didnt want a stark white base I sponged mowed lawn Distress Inks  over it to give it a pale green - creamish look.

        The red lilies were made by cutting the individual flowers from a  volume decoupage sheet and heating and embossing each petal and leaf [As explained here: Volume Decoupage Tutorial ]

          My bottle didnt have a cap so I made one using a Christmas Ornament [ also featured in this Christmas project : Paper Cone Christmas Tree tutorial]

         I used a cool mixed media texture medium called Glass Beads Gel to coat my Christmas ball ornament

Glass Beads Gel

         The glass beads gel looks white and grainy when you apply it and has an adhesive property too so I didnt have to use any extra adhesive to stick the ornament to the bottle

        As the glass beads gel dries it becomes more transparent. If you are interested in seeing more Glass Beads Gel Projects click these links : Ocean Themed Box, Texture Media Experiments, Altered Heart tutorial

And once fully dry [ can take a couple of hours depending on how thick you put the gel] it looks gorgeous !

I used a snippet of lace to hide the ridges of the glass bottle! Hope you like my altered bottle
