Rinse the bottle thoroughly inside and out, get rid of labels and stickers, remove glue residue. Dry the bottle, put it upside down so that all the drops drain.

The surface of the glass bottle must be treated with acetone to ensure that traces of dirt and grease are removed. This is an extremely important part of the work: you need to wipe with acetone with special care so that the napkins and paint hold tightly and subsequently do not crack.

Prepare in advance the drawing that you plan to put on the bottle. This is a napkin or a regular printed drawing, cut it out, removing the excess parts. Often in needlework stores they sell interesting napkins with bright images designed for decoupage. Peel off the bottom, white layer of tissue paper. Try on the image, then glue the place with glue (without sparing),lean the napkin with the image inside and use a dense brush to smooth out any wrinkles and irregularities.

To make the picture inside the bottle bright and not get lost against the general background of acrylic paints, which will subsequently cover the entire bottle, it is better to cover the image with a dense layer of white paint. When the glue dries a little, apply white paint to the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe napkin, but without protruding beyond the edges.
