New Year's candlestick made from a glass
Probably every home has old mismatched or unnecessary glasses for wine, whiskey or cognac? The New Year can give them new life! And you will get a pleasant feeling of economy and self-expression, and also make an exclusive New Year's interior decoration.
To work, you will need a glass, a decoupage card with New Year's motifs, rice paper, decoupage glue, varnish and a special paste with glass balls that imitates snow. If you don't have professional decoupage materials, this is not a reason to give up! Ordinary napkins, PVA glue, semolina and any varnish (preferably water-based) will do just fine.
The main thing is a festive mood and an inner feeling of beauty!
First, select 2 pictures that will decorate your work on both sides. It is best to attach the selected picture to the glass so as not to make a mistake in scale and understand how the product will look in the final version.
Do you use napkins? Prepare them for application by removing the bottom 2 layers of white paper. Only a thin top layer with a pattern should remain.
Do you have a decoupage card? Just cut out the motif you like.
Now prepare your glass.Wash it thoroughly and remove any existing labels.
You need to stick rice paper on the places where the pictures will be located so that the picture does not lie on the transparent glass. If you don't have rice paper, a regular white napkin or colored napkin base will do.
Tear the rice paper or napkin into pieces the size of your thumb. Stick them on the glass in the places intended for pictures until a uniform background is formed. If you take a napkin, then make several layers so that the background is denser. Be sure to dry each layer with a hairdryer or wait for them to dry on their own.
When the base is dry, take the pictures. To make them fit better on the rounded surface of the glass, make cuts. Carefully stick the pictures onto the glass, smoothing them with a brush.
After the pictures are pasted, dry them and coat them with varnish, preferably 2 layers (you need to dry them after each coating).
Look at the resulting work and sigh with satisfaction.
Apply decorative paste to the free spaces to obtain a general background and give integrity to the work. If there is no paste, spread them with PVA glue, and then sprinkle with semolina and glitter. You can simply paint frosty patterns with white acrylic paint.
Then wrap the stem of the glass with twine, decorate it with lace and attach small cones. Try to stick to the general style.
The New Year's candlestick is ready!
Smile, make a wish and light a candle!
