DIY Crackle Dark Glass Bottle Decoupage

[@ginacable5376]

I'm going through all your old videos and I love all the bottles so much.

[@d2parrotperson]

I used to use that crackle technique years ago and had forgotten it. I believe I first learned it on Aleene's Creative Living when she was on TV. Thank you for the reminder. What a lovely bottle! Very shabby chic!

[@patioelf]

Thank you Sophie. Didn't Aleene make a crackle finish? I found this out by mistake when I painted over the glue too quickly one day. I find it to be a lot easier than the products I find in the stores. Patti

[@d2parrotperson]

Yes she did later on. She began the crackling with tacky glue. I agree. The store bought kits are too fussy and costly for my taste.

[@patioelf]

I'm so glad this technique works with the simple (and cheap) white glue. I'm with you, too fussy is not for me. :) Patti

[@williamsaravana8715]

You took so much of effort to do the video. Well presented. You gave very good explanation on making this project. Lovely.

[@beckymendoza8894]

The prettiest bottle I've seen done decoupaged!

[@velvetbees]

Thank you so musc for showing the before and after at the start of the video! This is a very well done video with the viewer in mind.

[@BUP115]

Thank you, this is by far the best tutorial I've followed and my bottle turned out lovely (even if I say so myself.

[@meerabanerjea9835]

Loved the way you decorated the bottle. Easy to follow. Great job. I have to try. Learnt something from you. Thank you.

Thank you! 😊

[@deezie78]

Hello there Sunshine Gorgeous bottle. I love the pinks and glitter and that paint you used to outline is fabulous. I never saw that done with the glue and paint. I am actually going to try that today. I love the way the crackle looks. Also those butterflies made from paper towel. oh my gosh*** I am going to try those too. By the way, you don't have to reply to my comment Girly, we'll talk later :) deezie

[@patioelf]

thank you Deezie!!!

[@lifehacksathome3225]

Hello,I love your work,Its fantastic, i have also started my own decoupage, and i will definitely try out your jar and bottle. Very nice! :)thanks for the videos. With patience i will be waiting for the next videos, good luck!

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

Another gorgeous bottle. I saw all 3 butterflies no problem. They call it feng shui, and I also agree odd number of items looks more appealing :-) I have 2 Mississippi Mud Black & Tan Beer bottles---946 ml and would like inspiration on decorating them or any kind of bottle with a handle like them pleas if possible. Thank you

[@susanafabio9865]

Hi Patti, love love it, congrats. In my country I there s no the chalk paint, and didin t underestand what happened if I use acrilyc paint. Can you explain me please? Thank you again for share your creativity, A lot of kisses from Paraguay

[@patioelf]

Hello Susana and thank you! Big hugs from the USA. Do you have a bottle that you can practise on? I am wondering if this will also work with acrylic paint. The chalk paint dries faster than the glue which is what causes the crackling. If you can find a matte paint (no shine) you may have more luck with that crackling. Follow these same steps but use your acrylic paint and see if it works. A problem I have had with the acrylic paint is that it sometimes bubbles when you heat it to dry it faster. If you try this could you tell me how it turns out for you Susana? Thank you! Patti

[@susanafabio9865]

Hi Patty you re an angel. I ll try and tell what happens. Thank you very much for helping me

[@patioelf]

hola patty hermoso. me encanto su trabajo. solo q me cuesta un poco el ingles...necesito ayuda y deceo saber el nombre de los sprays q ud. uso y el papel q ud puso al horno muchas gracias .....

[@patioelf]

¡Hola! Estoy utilizando el " traductor Google " para escribir a usted así que espero que estoy haciendo sentido . :) Estoy utilizando pegamento decoupage servilleta , y puse las cosas en el horno para ayudar a eliminar las arrugas , pero se puede dejar secar al aire . Luego agregar un barniz o capa superior . Espero que esto ayude y gracias ! Patti

[@raquelmiketapia-mendoza4188]

what a wonderful video! did you use any kind of sealant after you were finished?

[@patioelf]

Thank you! I did not use sealant on this one since it's strictly for decoration. ;) Patti

[@lalahastings9855]

beautiful, love crackle method, tfs

[@patioelf]

Thank you Lala! Patti

[@hennyop]

beautiful creative

[@patioelf]

Thank you Henny! Patti

[@stephaniesmith6531]

i love it, so beautiful! do you think i could use this method on a terracotta pot? x

[@patioelf]

yes Stephanie, though I would make sure to use a plastic liner inside the pot if you're going to use it. The water will seep through the terra-cotta from the inside and ruin the work on the outside. (or you can waterproof the inside) Thank you! Patti

[@minisatheesh4538]

wow...itz beautiful.

The best video I have seen on decoupage!! What kind of paint did you use to outline that beautiful rose? Thanks so much

[@HelloKitty-bf7fl]

Where do you get your rose napkins. Please I cant find them anywhere except on line.. thanks

[@shellywiseman9595]

Could you high gloss varnish and brush it on?

[@RozWilloughby]

So lovely Patti....tfs💟💟💟

[@aliceives6988]

do I need to paint my bottle if it's clear

[@helendavies7591]

Hi Patti Help please.I tried to do this project with PVA glue on a green bottle but did not use chalk paint on top instead just some emulsion paint i thought i would try to see how it would turn out.Welllll......absolute disaster.....the finish came out like an artex stippled finish not the crackled look i had hoped for.Where did i go wrong? Was it the paint i used? I dried it with a heat tool and not a hairdrier as you used was it that? Many thanks in advance for your advice on this.....Helen.

[@sapnajagasiapatel4384]

any clue to what went wrong? i was thinking of trying the crackle finish with the normal acrylic paints instead of chalk paint or color emulsion. Do let me know if u could find what went wrong in the project u tried

[@Aishwarya-gh6wq]

Which paint did you use to make dots ?

[@loureensimbeye6494]

can I use paper glue or wood glue cause we don't av the decoupage glue in my country

[@janetberquist5800]

I have tried to do this crackle technique using Elmer’s school glue and chalk paint. I can’t get it to crackle. Could it be because I am in Arizona and it was 100 degrees? What am I doing wrong? Help! I followed your steps and can’t get it to crackle!

[@veranogaytseva4961]

It is very nicely!

[@patioelf]

Thank you! Patti

[@carolinedashchi7220]

This is beautiful! I'm so excited to try this! Quick question, is it ok to do this project in stages (wherein the steps are stretched into days) rather than completed all in one day? Also, I can't find the micro fine glitter that you used in this video (I looked it up on your website) but there are so many variations of 'micro fine glitter. Help! ;)

[@patioelf]

Hello Caroline and thank you! Yes, you can do this in stages on different days except for the painting. The glue has to be wet when you apply the chalk paint. Everything else can be done in days - I have to do that for my videos, I usually start them a week earlier. :) Stampendous makes a few beautiful micro glitter kits (about 3 colors in each) and they are lovely. You can try that. Thanks again Caroline! Patti

[@avonnorma]

Beautiful

[@patioelf]

Thank you! Patti

[@sapnajagasiapatel4384]

what is the size of the punched butterfly?

[@UnSharon]

hi, I couldn't find the Liquid Pearls on your website, I browsed 100 pages in your website, still couldn't find it, there are too much stuff in your website, it's not easy to look for something that i like to buy, can you tell me which page it is in? thanks!

[@patioelf]

oh no....I wonder why that didn't work. Here's the link to them but if you don't want to buy this set, just do the search at the top of the page once you click on the link. amzn.to/2dQAAS8 This is a brand new website so I have been working to make it easier, thank you for telling me and sticking with me, I am now starting to add the exact product links on the blog posts to make it easier. Thanks again! Patti

[@uroojrajput5785]

so nice👍👍👍

[@georginamcewan7247]

can you tell me what gesso paint is for

[@patioelf]

Hi Georgina, gesso was originally used over canvas to smooth out the surface a bit more and to be used as a nicer base for the paints that are going over top of it. :) Patti

[@lilybecerra2035]

not sure what I'm doing wrong :( :( I'm using school glue, and Folk Art Chalk paint with a sponge applying it, and it either doesn't crack or makes a lot of tiny tiny bubbles. The sponge is a torn piece from one of those sponges to wash the car :) Thank you so very much for any suggestions please please :) :)
