However, if you want a smooth finish and especially if you want to make multiple identical items, decals may be a better choice – as in Rebecca’s project idea for personalized wine gifts.
I am giving some homemade wine as a wedding gift and would like to decoupage the invitation to the bottle. Do I have to decoupage the whole bottle?
How would I go about doing this to look good?
Thank you.
Rebecca
What a lovely idea! Here is a tutorial I did for decoupaging labels onto spice jars.
It is difficult, if not impossible to decoupage without having some brush strokes show. Using a sponge brush and thinning the decoupage medium help.
If you are printing the labels yourself, you might be happier with the results using LazertranWaterslide Decals.
It will be a much simpler project and I think the results will look more professional.
Nothing against decoupage – it’s just that a wine label should usually have an elegant and clean look.
If you use Lazertran Inkjet Decals, any white parts of your design will remain white – which I think is a good thing for a label. If you print with a laser jet printer and use the original Lazertran Decals, white areas of the label will be transparent when applied.
