DecoArt Paint Bottle Makeover Transformation

1/7/2020

6 Comments

 
What do you do with all those empty paint bottles ????  I received a message from another artist friend asking if I ever recycled  the plastic DecoArt paint bottles when sculpting.  I have used the caps but never really  used the bottles.  Well you know me my mind was going a mile a minute with several designs using the empty bottles.   I decided to whip up a cute bunny and I thought it fitting to call her "Lil Sandy" after my very talented painting  friend Sandy McTier who suggested the idea.  Thanks Sandy!  You can be sure I will be making more in the future as I do use lots of DecoArt paint creating my cuties.

My favorite DecoArt Product to use is the Extender.  I use it as a blending medium to smooth all edges.  I have tried all different mediums and found this works best with quikwood blending.

Next I  used DecoArt dimensional effects to add a texture to all of the exposed plastics sections of the paint bottle and any where I wanted to give a little dimension.   This product adheres well to plastics and then you can use acrylic paints.

Every bunny needs a little glamor sparkle!  I used the DecoArt Decou Page as a sealer and sprinkled a pinch here and there of the DecoArt Glamour Dust to give her some sparkle and shine.

She was painted using all DecoArt acrylic paints.  You could call her a DecoArt kinda bunny!

I hope you enjoyed seeing "Lil Sandy" coming to life using many DecoArt products including the empty paint bottles.  Ohh I'm seeing piggy's Santas, Pumpkins and ghost in the near future , oh my I better get busy emptying more paint bottles.

Blessings!
