Hi

Well Christmas is nearly upon us, I have finished present shopping and wrapping, just have the dreaded food shop to fit in now.

I thought I would blog a bottle as I haven’t made one for a little while, I wanted to give it a Christmas look, and this is how it turned out.

I covered the bottle with two coats of white Gesso then painted it with white chalky paint.

I selected my serviette and tore out the bits I wanted to use then separated the tissue and glued it in place with Mod Podge.

Once dry I painted over the tissue with another coat of Mod Podge and let it dry.

I touched up with White chalky paint just around the edges of the serviette and then using a sponge, randomly dabbed on green chalky paint.

Once dry, I painted the whole bottle with a decoupage varnish.

Glued in place a Happy Christmas sentiment with Mod Podge and added a rosette with an Ivy print.

To finish off I added ribbon and a wooden tag.

Have a Merry Christmas
