Step 1
Prepare your workspace
For this project you are going to need a large flat, well-lit area to neatly spread out your tools and enjoy the calm focus required for careful rhinestone embellishment.
Step 2
Select and plan your design
Take a moment to visualise the design you want to achieve on your Prosecco bottle. Lay out the Swarovski Flatback Crystals, experimenting with different patterns until you're satisfied with the arrangement. Consider the bottle's shape and dimensions to maximise the visual impact of your design.
Step 3
Prepare the Prosecco bottle for embellishment
Ensure that the Prosecco bottle is completely clean and ready for gluing, making sure there are no stray fibres or grease smears.
Step 4
Set up the glue applicator with resin glue
Fill the Crystal FX Glue Syringe with enough E6000 Plus Resin Glue for your project, be careful to not take more glue than you need. The easiest way to do this is to place the end of the syringe inside the nozzle of the E6000 Plus glue tube and pull the plunger on the syringe while gently squeezing the tube of glue. This will transfer the glue from the tube to the syringe with minimal mess and exposure to the air.
Step 5
Guard against air bubbles in the resin glue
Once the glue is transferred you are likely to have a small air bubble in the syringe, hold the syringe vertically so that the bubble floats to the opening at top and gently push on the stopper, pushing the air out until there is only glue left inside. You can then attach the needle tip, completing the syringe.
Step 6
Apply the glue to one side of the Prosecco bottle
Use the loaded syringe to squeeze out a thin layer of glue onto the surface and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes to get tacky. Be careful to not apply too much, otherwise you will risk the glue running in unwanted directions across the gently curving surface that can be found on most Prosecco bottles. We also advise doing this stage in small sections when working on three dimensional objects to minimise the risk of accidentally touching the glue while it’s still wet.
Step 7
Begin placing the Swarovski crystals in a rhinestone embellishment style of your choice
Use the Double Ended Wax Picker Pen to gently place the Paradise Shine Swarovski rhinestones onto the glue. On this Prosecco bottle you can see we followed the outline of the existing product label and added a small flourish over the top. Try to keep the crystals close together with as few gaps as possible for best effect.
STEP 8
Allow the resin glue to fully dry
Respect the recommended drying time provided by your chosen resin glue. Typically, it takes a few hours to overnight for the glue to fully cure and create a strong bond. Avoid handling or moving the bottle until it is completely dry to prevent any accidental displacement of the crystals.
Step 9
Showcase your masterpiece
Display your Swarovski Crystals embellished Prosecco bottle at your next New Year's party or any glamorous gathering. Let it shine as a stunning centrepiece, capturing the attention of all your guests and becoming a symbol of your artistic prowess.
