All above material is easily available in market or you can buy online. In this project I have used homemade chalk paint.

Take 1 table spoon of plaster of paris or baby powder and 2 tablespoon of acrylic color. Mix both the ingredients nicely and then add ½ table spoon of water to form proper consistency. You can store this chalk paint for 2 to 3 months, plaster of paris doesn’t dry.

I have used Fevicryl 3D outlines to highlight the intricate design on bottle. With 3d outliner you can create patterns to highlight designs painted on any surface. These 3d outliners are perfect to create beautiful outlines on glass, fabric, paper and wood and clay pot. 3d outliners are easily available in market but you can also make it at home.

Before we start painting the bottles, let me clear some doubts with some FAQ’s.

Which paint is used for bottle painting?

Acrylic colors are best choice for bottle painting. You can use chalk paint or spray paint also.

How do you start a bottle painting?

Step 1: Remove the labels. Before you start painting the bottles, you need to remove labels on bottles. The best way to remove label is to immerse them in lukewarm water for an hour and they will come out easily.

Step 2: selection of paint. Choose any color for painting. Acrylic colors are best choice to paint the bottle. Acrylic color doesn’t take much time to dry. If you are planning to do decoupage on bottles then you should go with chalk paint. You can use spray paint also.

Amazing Traditional Bottle painting ideas. Let’s Start bottle painting-

Step 1:

It’s very important to clean the bottle before you start painting it. Let’s see how to clean the bottle.

1: Start by soaking the bottles in lukewarm water.

2: After a good soaking the bottle labels should be ready to peel off. Remove the lable.

3: Time to start coloring!

Step 2:

Apply chalk paint on bottle and let it dry. So if there is option of acrylic paints then why to use chalk paint?

 Here is the answer- A decorative paint known for its matte, chalky appearance, chalk paint is a popular choice for giving furniture and home décor a rustic, vintage, or shabby-chic style. Because it can easily be given a distressed look, chalk paint is ideal for those who want to add character and vintage charm to their home. Chalk paint is most often used to give pieces of furniture a matte look.

Step 3:

So there are different clay options with which you can do clay work on bottle. I have used air dry modeling clay. Instead of modeling clay you can use fevicryl mouldit clay also. So before you start working with clay, always apply oil on your palms to avoid stickiness. Make long and thin rolls of modeling clay.

Step 4:

Apply glue on all corners of bottle and stick the clay rolls.

Step 5:

Now apply any acrylic color on the bottle as per your choice. I chose teal blue and yellow color.

Step 6:

Color combination is completely your choice. I chose yellow and teal blue because contrast they looks perfect.

Step 7:

Apply red color on the top side and corners.

Step 8:

I had some printed paper with different design. But I choose elephant print because I wanted to make some traditional art on bottle. I make 4 cutouts of elephant design to stick them on all 4 sides of bottle.

Step 9:

Stick cutouts on the bottle.

Step 10:

I have used the outliners to trace the outline of the designs.

What is the use of 3D outliner?

Fevicryl 3D Outliners are wash proof and quick drying. Available in vibrant colors, use the outliners to trace or outline designs or to fill in colors. Long narrow nozzle allows for superb outlining and raised patterns.

With 3d outliner you can create patterns to highlight designs painted on any surface. These 3d outliners are perfect to create beautiful outlines on glass, fabric, paper and wood and clay pot. You can also make these outliners at home.

With only 3 ingredients you can make 3d outliners at home:  Acrylic colors, fevicol, and baby powder.

Step 1- To make 3d outliner I have used baby powder and fevicol in equal quantity. You can use any brand of baby powder. Mix both ingredients nicely to form proper consistency.

Step 2- Mix acrylic color as per your choice.                               

Step 3- Take any plastic square shape cutout to make a cone. Fill the color in the cone and seal it properly.

Step 4- Your homemade 3d outliner is ready. Now you can use it on any surface. Make sure that cone is sealed properly so that it will not dry.

Step 11:

Start tracing the design with 3d outliners. I have started making outline on elephant’s cutouts.

Step 12:

Now you can start drawing designs on bottle. I have used dot painting tools to make dots on bottle. Now its completely optional to use dot painting tools. If you don’t have dot painting tools you can use thin brush to draw design on bottle. You can decorate the bottle the way you want. You can choose any color as per your choice that suits to your bottle background color.

Step 13:

I simply wanted to make the design 3d and more attractive, so that again I have used 3d outliners to draw designs and patterns. Many colors are available in Fevicryl 3doutliners. The colors are crafted in a manner such that once applied on the surface it quickly dries off and becomes dense and brilliant once completely dry.

Step 14:

Patterns made using 3d outliners are dried now and looking beautiful.

Step 15:

On the top portion of the bottle I was thing to draw design with 3d outliners but then I dropped the plan, because later I thought I would look messy after using 3d outliners. Rest bottle I finished with intricate design so the top part of the bottle decorated simply with dot painting.

Step 16:

This is the final satisfactory look of the bottle. Transforming glass bottles into artistic one is my passion and this traditional art on the bottle is one of my favorite piece.
