How to transform a bottle with Creative Paperclay





I had this old bottle for quite some time and it just sat there wanting me to do something with it. The inspiration finally hit me and I decided to use my Creative Paperclay to make it beautiful.

Supplies Needed for this Project:

Glue
Embellishments
Words typed on paper
Spray sealer




These are a few of the things that I used in making over a plain glass bottle.



It all started with a simple bottle.  I conditioned my Creative Paperclay and then rolled it out to about 1/4" thickness. Use a little of your glue and put it on your bottle. Take the clay and wrap it around the bottle. Trim all the excess clay off the bottle and smooth it with a little water until you can't tell where it starts and ends. 


Use a mold of the face of the sun and place it onto a ball of the clay and push it into the bottle opening. Pull the clay back out and apply a little glue to it before inserting it back in.
Roll out a piece and make lines in it to look like a collar standing up. Wrap it around the sun just below the face. Roll out a snake that is not very thick and make marks in it to look like rope. Wrap that around below the collar.

Paint all of the bottle part in Plaid colorshift paint. Paint the head and collar of the bottle in Plaid Paints that you choose. Glue your embellishments on in any manner you choose. The wording on this bottle says " And the greatest of these is love." Make the bottle your own with the words and decorations that you choose.

 

Spray seal your bottle with a good finish and there you have it! Who would even think that there was a bottle underneath that beautiful exterior.

Check out the Creative Paperclay and the Delight Clay, you'll be glad you did. Plaid Online has some amazing paints and products that you need to take a look at too.
