Okay so moving on to my tutorial now…
To create my altered bottle, i have used Craftyscrappers Stencil:
Along with the amazing Chalk paints:
And to add the touch of beauty to my project, I have used the super fab, Craftyscrappers Shimmer pastes:
Here is the final shot of the project which we are going to create today:
some more close-ups:
- I took empty deodorant bottle, glued bottle cap so that it won’t get opened and applied “Greasy Charcoal” chalk paint using palette knife.
(Using palette knife to apply paint is one of my favorite way to create texture). - I wrapped stencil called “Geometrical patterns” around the bottle and secure the stencil edges using masking tape.
- I used Craftyscrappers shimmer paste “Jet” to create texture through stencil and also applied this paste on empty spaces of bottle just to put everything together.
- Glued down metal leaves and wrapped thread around the bottle cap & also added metal handle.
- Covered these added embellishment using “Greasy charcoal” chalk paint and added “Jet” shimmer paste.
- After it dries I highlighted this bottle using Gesso,
(Best way to pop out the elements which added in project). - Finally seal this bottle using Fixative spray.
And Taaaa-Daaaaaaa!!! There you go, we finished this beautiful piece… Give it a try, and if tried don’t forget to tag us in your projects using #Inspired By Craftyscrappers.
