Glass bottles are an excellent handy material for making original crafts. And the more intricate the shape of the bottle itself, the more interesting the result can be.

Instructions
Step 1
Paint the surface of glass bottles with stained glass paints or acrylic paints on glass. First, wash the bottles with dishwashing liquid. Remove all labels and blot the glass with a soft cloth. Paint on the bottle. The subject of the image can be any. If you are good with a brush, then special paints will allow you to create a complex drawing. A novice artist can make an abstract picture, apply a light pattern or geometric shapes.
Ready-made bottles with pictures can be used as vases for flowers, pour your own liqueurs into them and give them to friends.
Step 2
Wrap the bottle with coarse linen twine or colored thread. Lubricate the glass surface with PVA glue, hot glue from a gun or superglue. Wrap the rope or threads round by turn, laying them in even rows so that the texture is uniform, without gross distortions. In the future, the surface can be coated with acrylic or furniture varnish, spray paint or left as it is.
Step 3
Add texture to the smooth glass bottle in another way. Fasten various small objects on its surface: crushed eggshells, shells from walnuts or pistachios, beautiful buttons, beads, beads, pebbles, shards from glass Christmas tree decorations. Combine different materials to create unique designs. Glue the elements with hot glue from a gun or super glue.
Step 4
Make original lamps out of bottles. First remove the bottom with the bottom. To do this, wind a thick woolen thread dipped in gasoline or kerosene over the place of the future cut. Pour water into the vessel up to the level of the winding and set fire to the thread. While the fire is still on, put the bottle in a bucket of cold water. The glass will break where the thread was. Sand sharp edges.
Roll the thick wire into a spiral so that a floating candle can be installed in the base. Place this design in a bottle. Pass a thin wire or string through the neck of the bottle to hang the lamp. Such an original little thing will brighten any holiday.
