DIY bottles using alcohol sprays

Hello my dear friends.......

I am back again to share one more easy altered bottle project with alcohol sprays. I hope you are loving them, If you haven't tried it yet, then you have to grab them for sure from Itsy Bitsy.

Let me show you the pics first and then I will explain you how easy it is to do them.

• I dry brushed and folded the petals of the flower to make it look layered, this is necessary because it comes flat in the packing.

Ahh... I have tried my level best to capture that gold shimmer it leaves on the project, that so awesome!

• I have added Gold and Red Hearty Melange to the bottle using Itsy Bitsy scrapbooking glue as it dries clear and matte.
• I used a thin cut doily die cut below the flower, which I picked from the store.
• Added a little touch of gold metallic paint to the flower and the doily die cut to match with the colors used on the bottle.

Also sprinkle a little glitter on the body of the bottle when the sprays was semi dry as the hearty melange sticks to it.

Process:

1.   Take two bottles clean and dry. 

2.   For the small bottle I used Frosted Pool, Midnight Blue, and Purple Haze, Citron Breeze randomly.

3.   Tip : start spraying the lighter shade first.

4.   Once dry, apply gold metallic paint through stencil on the bottle using the rectangle sponge blender.  

5.   Stick the flower and cord.

6.   Dry brush the flowers with gold metallic paint.

7.   Big bottle : I have used Wild Rose and Golden Mocha instead of Purple Haze and Midnight Blue randomly.

Colouring Tips

Hello All!! Welcome to another Itsy Bitsy tutorial. Itsy Bitsy has just introduced Colour Yoga, Colouring Books for Adults - Nature, Geometrical, Damask, Classic and Floral. These books will allow you to start your day most creatively or let you relax after a hard day's work. It's an excellent arena for colour yoga & is an excellent alternative to meditation, letting you relax, de-stress and rejuvenate.

Colour your favourite design using a marker, colour pencil or by combining both. You can also add dimension to your designs with shading. In this tutorial, we shall show easy techniques of colouring using coloured pencils.

But, before we get to that, let us understand colours first.

Understanding Colours :

There are three types of colours –

Primary colours – Red, Blue & Yellow

Secondary colours – Orange, Green & Purple (created by combining 2 primary colours)

Tertiary colours – Yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-purple, red-purple & red-orange (created by mixing adjacent primary & secondary colours).

A tint is a colour plus white & a shade is a colour plus black.

We can further classify colours as warm (red, yellow & orange) & calm colours (green, blue & purple).

So, let’s get started & master this art!!

Materials required:

Colour Yoga Coloring book

Colour pencil – Lemon yellow, orange, light green, cobalt green, red, pink (you can choose the colours of your choice)

Method :

Step 1: Use yellow and orange colour pencils to colour the head of owl. We recommend that you use light pressure and colour in circular pattern. Sharpen the pencil to a fine point and draw very small overlapping circular marks.

Step 2: Colour the entire area as shown using orange and yellow colour gently. The best way to shade is to just alter pressure on your pencil.

Step 3: Using two or more colours and blending it to bring a smooth finish is essential in colour blending technique. In this case, use orange and red colour and blend thoroughly. The trick is to put a lighter shade and then overlap it with a darker colour, burnishing the previous colour. 

Step 4: Colour the flower pink. Darken the shade towards the middle of the flower and shade lighter as you move towards the petals.

Step 5: Intensify shading towards to edges. Try to cover the area smoothly at the light end and then increase pressure as you colour towards the darker end.

Step 6: Colour both the wings yellow followed by 2 different shades of green. Each colour should smoothly blend with the previous shade. Layering darker colours over light or medium shade is recommended as it adds colour and darkens and not vice versa.

Step 7: Use yellow, red and orange to shade the body. 

Relax your way into one of these patterns & you can find yourself twirled together with cords of colours in a fantasy land as beautiful as your childhood dreams. Bid adieu to stress forever with our colouring books. :-) :-)
