Today I share with you how I make my creepy bottles.
Materials:
Makin's Clay® - Black, Red
Makin's®
- Texture Sheet Set C
- Clay Tools
Glass bottle
White glue
Skulls push mold
Embossing powders
Cheese cloth
Chain
Scissors
Paintbrush
Heat tool
Instructions:
I used a real glass bottle from my stash and applied first a layer of white glue
roughly to the areas I
wanted to add the embellishments. I dried it with a heat gun, but you could allow it to air dry.
Place a ball of black clay approximately 2" onto desired texture sheet. Roll to a little less than 1/4". Remove clay from texture sheet. When you lift it up you get that cool pattern on the sheet.
I placed the sheet onto the bottle and formed it a bit around the neck. 
For the skulls used a mold. I simply filled the mould with Makin's Clay®, sometimes I filled it up to the rim, sometimes not, I was not
looking for perfectly formed skulls. I applied the skulls to the bottle randomly, layering in some areas.
I also made a heart with some red clay and a tiny
bit of black. I mixed it up until it was a more or less
uniform color
and then I formed a triangular shape. I cut it to form it into a heart shape.Next I added it to the black sheet, by simply adding with the fingers a little bit water to the backside of the Heart.
I had some cheesecloth in my stash in the perfect colors so
I pressed them in the still wet clay. (If you need to make a break, just spray some water onto
the clay and cover it with some plastic)
Later I have also added some chain also by simply pressing
it into the clay.
So next I wanted to add some embossing powders. The clay was
already a little bit dry, so I sprayed some water. This will help the embossing
powder to stick to the clay. If you have sprayed a little bit to much, just let
it dry again a bit.
On the next picture you can see how I have sprinkled
different embossing powders. For the skulls I have used some beige ones and for
the hearts some red and copper. I didn't cover everything only in certain spots
and then I heat embossed it with a heat gun. Make sure that you don't get to
close or the clay will bubble up, just be patient and move around.
The last step was highlighting with some greenish wax. The
clay wasn't completely dry yet, but had a sort of a skin also from heating the
embossing powder. It did try out perfectly well the next few days.
Now have fun and create your own spooky bottles...
