Tips For Bottle Painting
- If you’re new to painting bottles, start by cleaning and drying the bottle thoroughly.
- Once it’s dry, sketch out your desired design on the bottle using a pencil. If you make any mistakes while painting, you can easily erase them with a Q-tip dipped in paint remover.
- When you’re ready to start painting, use a small brush to fill in the outlines of your design. Work slowly and carefully, taking your time to make sure each line is even.
- Once the outlines are filled in, you can begin painting the rest of the bottle.
- Once the bottle is completely painted, set it aside to dry for 24 hours.
Bottle Painting Ideas
Glass Bottle Painting Ideas
- Stripes: Stripes are another easy design that anyone can do. Paint vertical stripes in two or three different colors around the neck of the bottle.
- Chevron Pattern: A chevron pattern is created by painting V-shaped lines in two or more colors. To make a chevron pattern on a bottle, start by painting a horizontal line across the neck of the bottle. Then, working from the top and bottom of the bottle, paint diagonal lines towards the centerline.
- Ombre: Ombre is a gradient effect where one color fades into another. To create an ombre design on a glass bottle, start by painting the bottom third of the bottle in your lightest color.
Then, gradually blend in your darkest color as you move up the bottle.
Plastic Bottle Painting Ideas
