Decorative bottles make the kitchen counter more lively. Perhaps you have already seen them in hotels and at furniture exhibitions; now you can have them too and they represent one of the simplest and cheapest ways to decorate the environment. The necessary materials are widely available in the home; when you group two or three of these bottles together, they turn into a touch of beauty for the kitchen.
Steps
Step 1. Choose the bottle
This is an important step, because the shape of the container is the factor that determines the beauty of the decoration; choose one with a curvilinear profile and different shapes.
Step 2. Clean it
Wash it and dry it completely before using it.
Step 3. Choose the content
Decide what material to put in the bottle. Some of the most used products are vegetables and cereals. The peppers of different colors cut in a particular way are particularly suitable; cereals of different shapes and shades are just as beautiful. Again, you have to rely on your creativity and use whatever object you like.
Step 4. Fill the bottle
Arrange the material in several layers with great care, giving a certain symmetrical appearance to the composition; if necessary, use a funnel. To create slanted layers, hold the bottle so that it forms an angle with the surface and fill it; tap it and change its position until you get the look you want.
Step 5. Get a preservative for the material
It is necessary to use a product to keep the contents fresh. Seed oil proves very useful; pour it into the bottle not only to keep the vegetables fresh, but also to make the colors brighter.
Step 6. Seal the container with a cork and, if desired, with a special bow
Step 7. Put the bottle on display
Now she is ready to make a good impression on the kitchen counter; you can place it on top of the refrigerator or on the table.
Advice
- Use a knife or a stick if you have difficulty arranging the elements in layers.
- You can also color the grains with food coloring.
