Do you want to know how Angelique achieved this mesmerising effect? She’s taking you through her steps below.
The first step will be to completely cover the bottle with Decor&DIY paint. You will work very hard with inks, so do not hesitate to make two thick layers with the paint.
With your finger, in streaks add some modeling paste.
Cover the bottle with a layer of white gesso. Once dry, sand it to bring out the base color. This will give the bottle an old and worn look.
Decorate the bottle with a multitude of embellishments, and sprinkle everything with TA glimmer mist.
This amazing bottle will become a stunning centre piece on your table or side-board.
Happy crafting!!!
