Love your elegant bottles. The napkins are gorgeous. Less is more in my book, no unnecessary bits and pieces added, great tutorial.

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Thank you very much! Xx

[@nancybaker7313]

I made these after seeing this video! Actually I went a little crazy buying the different designs I loved them do much! Wish I could post a pic, but, cannot. Great video!

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Nancy Baker I have a Facebook group fairy chic painting forum ... you can join and post pictures... glad you enjoyed xx

[@nancybaker7313]

To get the glue off glass without chemicals mix enough vegetable oil to baking soda to make a paste and rub into the bottle with a plastic scrubbie. Works like a charm!

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Nancy Baker thank you xxx

[@nancybaker7313]

FairyChic Emporium No problem! Love your videos!

[@cherryvaleleatherock6900]

I love that your idea carried through on a theme. Who doesn't love animals ? ? ? And your idea of collecting empty bottles fro the pub is brilliant. I know I could never drink all that alcohol, or I'd be Decopaughing some funny looking images! lol Thank you for this super video. (Bad spelling today) ;-)

im getting motion sickness .......lol.........love what you have done

[@vickieveniabaylous7245]

light amount on a cloth of mineral spirits will remove your labels and all the sticky left on the bottles. I have been through the "grrrrr" getting labels off, so being an Artist....I one day went out and grabbed my Mineral Spirits gave it a try and wha La!! labels off in no time. That's all I use now. You do lovely work, thank you for sharing.....

[@louisdepointedulac3072]

super!!!

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

jowita kempa thank you!

[@patpat4317]

A great video but it would have been lovely to have included what paint was used, what glue, what finish was used. Also how to cut out the napkin to get the rageed edge. As a beginner I have no idea how to do any of it. The bottles look lovely though.

[@dodieangeltarot5972]

if you paint them with mayonnaise the sticky glue will come off easier leave on for couple of hors .nice video lovely thank you so much for sharing

Beautiful work. Need to steady the camera. Moves around too much and is distracting.

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

I know... my lovely 11yr old filmed this one bless her!! Xxx

I agree. It made me quite nauseous. Great video though. I learnt a lot 👍🏼

[@lorrainesutton268]

Love this , can I use varnish as a finish?

[@usherl250]

These are so cute. I’m a new subscriber...I also have a KZbin channel. I love playing with different mediums.

[@therockinwomanify]

I love everything I've seen you do! You are so talented...I've binge-watched everything I can find of yours :) I couldn't see the manufacturer's name on the napkins? I hope you don't mind if I ask what brand is the shirts you wear that have all the lovely embroidery and torn fabrics. I would buy them in a second! Thank you for all the sharing you do...I'm a follower for sure...

Do you ever put lights in your bottles? String lights are quite popular.

[@pinkpenguinlady]

In LOVE with the napkins!!! Where did you purchase them??♥️♥️♥️

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Tracy Mc they are wrendale napkins... they have their own website or eBay xx

[@jeangrandy8672]

How does your paint come out so smooth?? Mine has all kinds of streaks, any suggestions you could recommend??? Thanks

[@nancybaker4886]

Love this! My only question would be, since I am in the US what comparable products would I use . Nothing you had there looked at all familiar to me. Is the finishing coat what I have that is by Americana called "Decoupage" Matte? What brand of paint did you use? Was it water based or acrylic. I know, I ask too many questions. Lol!!

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Nancy Baker yes your matte product will be fine and I used a chalk based paint that will stick to anything! So any chalk paint! The napkins are wrendale you can buy on line direct from their site or eBay x

[@marionlewis4703]

You can get some pretty napkins from anywhere on Etsy.

[@julierichardson3012]

There's an American lady somewhere on KZbin doing these. She gets most of her stuff from the Dollar Tree 🌳

[@MissyJAD]

Hello, thank you for your video. Do you use Matte or Gloss modpodge please? From a newbie learner before I buy the wrong one 😂 and what is the finshing coat bottle called and where from please? Thank you

[@estellemarsden6396]

I dont think you can resell those napkins on crafts ,they are only for private use.

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

You are absolutely write - Wrendale have now taken out a copyright on their napkins. I dont sell them x

[@brendatimmerman7111]

What paint and glue do you use and do you put a primer on the bottle? I just love the look of these. I have a large family and would love to make them. I haven't been very successful. Let me know. I love your channel!

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Brenda Timmerman hiya... thank you very much. I used a chalk paint on the bottle... chalk paint sticks to anything without the need for priming generally. Any brand will do but do match the colour to the background of your napkin... I used Matt finish to decoupage with and to seal over the top.. I sell both products on my website, but you could use modge podge too.. that works just as well. Happy playing 😊

[@liamvandevelde8373]

Very beautiful!! I would LOVE to have all of these napkins too, they are beautiful. Do you know where I could buy them?

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

They are wrendale napkins. You can buy them directly from wrendale or eBay xx

Thanks FairyChick Emporium! ♥

[@kimharris1628]

most garden centres sell them as well, Haskins

[@lollodonna86]

you can taket some babyoil and take The glue off The bottle.. sorry If my english is bad

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Thank you for that! Will try x

[@paulinelaybourne3279]

Lovely bottles. Would of like to have seen the FC go on. The shaky camera was awful.

[@michellemcaleenan1628]

These are lovely. Can I ask how many coats you use and what type of brush. I have tried a few but just don’t think they turn out right. How much do you sell these bottles for? Thanks

[@beenathomas8262]

Can you give me tips or ways in which how I can avoid air bubble when doing decoupage and also avoid wrinkles on the bottle..

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Beena Thomas one way to get less wrinkles is to apply cling film over the napkin and then smooth it out with a larger art soft brush. The cling film stops it from tearing x

[@lynnj4588]

Hi, can I ask what brush you use please? Iv tried various including sponge but always end up with brush marks. So frustrating. Great work!!!

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Lynn J I don’t use any fancy brush, but you can just wipe gently with a damp cloth to smith out or very lightly sand when dry xx

[@suecutmore9342]

You can use a stencil brush and kind of give it a stippling effect and then the napkin sides will also blend in much better! :)

[@carolberriman7270]

Hi love your bottles! I've painted a bottle with frenchic paint using 2 coverings. I then decoupaged a small robin using frenchic fc. I put a bottle light in and it shows up the brush Mark's and makes it look not as good. Help🙈 and do you put anything else over your bottles to protect them once you've finished?😊

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Hiya.... yes it’s no good putting a light in it if you have made solid colour bottle... the only way the light looks good if you put a layer of crackle on bottle first... pm my fb page and I will send you the link of my secret (lol) crackle bottle tutorial xx facebook.com/fairychicemporium

I used the same paint - my bottles really showed the brush strokes. How do I prevent them. I want mine to look as beautiful as yours.

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

You can either sand very lightly with a high grit sandpaper, or apply paint with a sponge... dabbing it on, or once dry use a damp cloth/ wet wipe to smooth it out 😘

[@hilarycullen2448]

[@user-xd2fc6bv5w]

Very nice. May I ask what kind of paint? Thank you. Greetings from Greece

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

τίποτα it is called Frenchic paint, which is a chalk paint that sticks to pretty much anything!! X

[@debbieweir3168]

Hello, great video. I have been trying unsuccessfully to paint glass bottles. I have used Zinsser as a base (recommended on youtube) and annie sloan chalk paint. However, when i start to paint the primer and paint slide off and crack showing the bottle underneath. Can you please give me advice i'm going to give up at this rate haha? I have also tried with a bristle brush and just a roller but the same thing occurs. pease help :)

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

debbie weir hiya... the chalk paint should go straight on ( no need for primer) as you say the glass is slippery.. I use a small sponge to “dab” it on ( like a makeup sponge) it seems to make the coming off less! Dry thoroughly in between coats xx

[@debbieweir3168]

Thanks you, I'll give that a go instead and let you know the outcome 😃

[@Sunelification]

What is the finishing coat used to stick the napkin on to the bottle?

[@nicholabrooks5235]

Can you put cork lights into these bottles once they are finished ?

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Nichola Brooks you can but much more effective in bottles you have used crackle glaze on before the paint... creating cracks for the light to shine through xx

[@nicholabrooks5235]

FairyChic Emporium this is my first time doing this, is there any chance you could give me a step by step on how to do this using crackle glaze x

Nichola Brooks if you pm me via fb I’ll give you a link to a private tutorial I have done on a crackle bottle x

[@juliesherwood2832]

Would lights show through the chalk paint if I wanted to use them as light bottles please?

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Julie Sherwood you would have to use crackle glaze to make cracks in the paint for the light to shine through x

I put lights in mine! I make a lot of these and the lights do shine through.

[@JT-pb3rk]

My tissue paper ALWAYS goes wrinkly. What am I doing wrong?

Joanna Thain you can either use a very soft art brush to gently smooth it out, or you can place cling film over it and then smooth it out xx 😘

@@FairyChicPaintCo thank you. I'll give the cling film a go. How would you recommend I blend me edges in too? I'm very new to this and am having teething problems xx

[@FairyChicPaintCo]

Joanna Thain always tear the napkin around edges.. they dont show as much as cut edges and then use a stencil brush or make up sponge to blot paint over join and blend x
