Adding a festive sparkle
There can't be too much sparkle and shine for the New Year 2022! The first way to decorate New Year's champagne is to stick a large amount of sparkles. Doing this yourself is quite simple. You will need:
- a bottle of champagne, or better yet more than one. By the way, you can find mini bottles with a volume of 0.33 liters in the store. Several of these vessels, picturesquely displayed on the festive table, can surprise guests. For information on how to choose champagne, read the link;
- glue. The best option would be glue in a can - it’s most convenient to apply, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry, take any and apply it with a brush;
- actual sparkles. Glitter powder is available in craft stores. You can find any shade according to your design;
- additional decorative elements upon request: ribbons, cocktail tubes, Christmas tree decorations.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Cover the bottle with an even layer of glue. It’s convenient to do this over an unnecessary box so that splashes don’t fly in all directions.
- While the glue is still wet, you need to apply glitter. You can scatter them on a sheet of paper and roll the champagne. The remaining unused particles from the sheet can then be shaken back into the jar. Additionally, glitter can be applied pointwise with your fingers.
You can decorate New Year's champagne with sparkles. To do this, treat the bottle with glue and until it dries, roll it in glitter and sprinkle it with it. The colors of the “powder” can be very different.
You can decorate with ribbons, bows, or attach a small greeting card with a wish. If you add a paper or plastic straw, this bottle of champagne will turn into a charming gift.
Golden decor in the New Year looks very stylish and appropriate.
Champagne glitter can be any size and color.
Decorating with tinsel
Decorating a bottle of champagne with tinsel will take only 15-20 minutes, unlike more complex options. You will need:
- double sided tape;
- candies (it is better that they are the same or similar shape);
- thin tinsel;
- bow.
Wrap the champagne with tape from the bottom to the neck where the foil starts. Wrap the entire area with tinsel in a spiral. If you take green tinsel, the bottle will look like a Christmas tree. Glue candy into the gaps. Add a voluminous bow on top.
Dressing up a bottle of sparkling wine in different clothes
You can make a funny New Year's character out of a container with a drink. Make a hat from an old sock, cut an even strip from an unnecessary T-shirt with a suitable print, attach a fringe - the scarf is ready.
A great way to add a new flavor to the holiday is to decorate bottles in the shape of Santa Claus' reindeer. Make horns from fluffy pipe cleaners for children's crafts. Eyes can also be purchased ready-made, or drawn on paper and cut out. A red nose for a deer can be made from a pompom or a large button.
We make decor from paper and Christmas tree decorations
Christmas tree decorations - balls, beads, tinsel - for the New Year can be seen not only on the festive tree. Collect all the toys on a thin, strong wire and wrap it around the neck of the champagne.
It is worth adding to the New Year's composition to the balls:
- cones;
- berries;
- bows;
- pine, fir branches (natural or artificial);
- gold ribbons;
- thematic pictures.
Corrugated (crumpled) paper is a soft, plastic material. You can literally wrap it around champagne, then smooth it out with your hands. The combination of red and gold is reminiscent of Santa Claus's rich fur coat. If you add gold buttons and a hat with a pompom, the similarity will be complete. Additional decor will be bows, tiny balls and bells.
Choosing sticker pictures
For the New Year and Christmas, we select images in playful and winter themes
First, let's think about choosing pictures for the future design. Since our theme is dedicated to the New Year and Christmas, we select images in a playful and winter theme.
I like calm winter landscapes most of all, as well as red-breasted bullfinches and funny snowmen, a cheerful Santa Claus or a fluffy Christmas tree. All this will fit perfectly into the festive atmosphere.
Professional napkins for decoupage are sold in specialized stores
“Where can I get pictures?” - you ask. Professional napkins for decoupage are sold in specialized stores or can be ordered online. To be honest, I often find successful options on the shelves of hypermarkets and buy them for good use.
Napkins should have two or three layers; single-layer napkins are not suitable for decoupage.
The decoupage technique uses the following materials: napkins, rice paper, newspaper and magazine clippings
In the decoupage technique, in addition to napkins, you can use other materials: rice paper, newspaper and magazine clippings. Paper that is too thick will have to be slightly soaked and the excess layer removed, and it is advisable not to use glossy pictures.
Rice paper is the most convenient to use, especially for beginners. It is more reliable than napkins, fits well on the surface and leaves virtually no wrinkles.
Champagne decorated with sweets
What's New Year without sweet gifts?!! Another unconventional idea is to decorate champagne with sweets.
The very shape of the sparkling vessel resembles the contours of a Christmas tree. Arrange the candies in colorful candy wrappers in tiers and tie a matching gold-plated bow to the neck. You can make a lot of these “New Year’s beauties” and present them, for example, to colleagues at work or place them on the New Year’s table.
This idea, by the way, is suitable for decorating children's gifts with your own hands. Naturally, the “wine” for them should be special, for children – non-alcoholic.
If you want to amaze your guests or create a masterpiece gift, decorate the champagne in the form of an exotic fruit. A fragrant pineapple on the New Year's table will remind you of summer and vacation in the tropics. In addition to the vessel with wine you will need:
- round sweets in gold candy wrappers;
- squares of yellow or orange thin paper - according to the number of candies;
- green paper for foliage;
- bow, ribbon, twine;
- hot melt adhesive.
Master class on how to decorate champagne:
- Glue each candy into the center of a square of paper.
- Glue the paper squares with candy to the container, starting from the bottom. Be careful not to burn your fingers.
- From green paper, cut out a “panicle” of leaves, like a real tropical fruit, and glue them together so that they do not fall apart.
- Wrap the leaves to the neck of the vessel with a bow or ribbon. Ready!
Shiny case
A beautiful and convenient case can be made from paper with glitter in half an hour. To create the packaging you will need:
- cardboard with silver glitter;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- glue.
Make the decoration step by step:
- Measure the height of the bottle and mark the back of the cardboard with a pencil. Measure the diameter of the bottle with a thread, add 5 cm on both sides and draw the base of the triangle on the paper.
- Draw a triangle, round the edges at the bottom and cut with scissors.
- Fold the resulting figure into a cone.
- Cut a hole at the top so that the cork on the neck of the champagne can easily pass through it. Try the figure on the bottle.
- Glue the joints of the cone with a slight overlap.
- Trace the bottom of the bottle onto cardboard and cut out the bottom of the case. Glue the bottom to the cone.
- Lubricate the bottom of the case with a thin layer of glue and sprinkle with dry glitter. Place the case on the bottle.
- Tie a silver ribbon bow around the neck.
The elegant case for champagne is ready.

Knitted New Year's outfits
If you have basic knitting skills, use them to create a unique outfit for New Year's champagne. You can knit a cover in the shape of an elegant Christmas tree - with balls and a bright star on the top.
You can use knitting needles to knit a “sweater” in the shape of a snowman or Santa Claus. Knit the main part in stockinette stitch, and decorate the top in the form of a stand-up collar, tying it with an elastic band. A pom-pom nose, beady eyes, a little jewelry and imagination - here we have a charming guest at the feast.
How to decorate sparkling wine with threads?
One of the easiest ways to decorate champagne in an interesting way is to wrap the bottle with thick and durable threads. The technology for making such a thing is simple. Secure the end of the twine with glue, then wrap the bottle in even turns, sometimes coating it with glue for strength.
The end of the rope can be hidden under a bow, ribbon or small toy. The finished craft can be painted with durable paints, for example, acrylic. And additionally decorate in a New Year's theme: with bells, wooden Christmas trees, pine cones, shiny beads.
Glass or marble balls glued in the shape of a bunch of grapes will remind you of hot summer and the sweet raw materials from which the main winter drink is made. This kind of craft material can be found in stores called “marbles”. Plastic or paper green leaves and ribbons will complement the natural look of the vine.
Decoration with twine
You will need:
- glue;
- alcohol or acetone;
- twine;
- white lace ribbon 3-5 cm wide;
- decorative decorations.
To ensure that the twine holds tightly, you must first degrease the surface of the bottle by wiping it with alcohol. Decoration should start from the bottom. Apply a few drops of glue and glue one end of the twine. Wrap the bottle up to the neck so that the layers lay one on top of the other, like a snail’s house. There is no need to apply glue to the entire surface at once: it will be inconvenient to work with. Add it gradually, after each revolution.
Once the entire area is wrapped, glue white lace tape to the bottom of the bottle. Add pine cones, branches or other decorations.
Bottle painting
You can draw on champagne containers. The drawing can be anything, the main thing is that you like it. New Year's characters and attributes would look appropriate: Santa Claus, snowman, snowflakes, Christmas trees.
You can also decorate empty bottles this way. By the way, it is better to remove the labels before painting so that the surface is even and smooth.
Decoupage on champagne
The decoupage technique will allow you to decorate a bottle if you don’t have the ability to draw. A little preparation and you will create a whole collection of elegant New Year's containers. Decoupage is also called the napkin technique, since pictures are usually cut out from suitable napkins. So, for decoration you will need:
- bottles from which all labels and foil have previously been removed;
- white primer for decoupage or acrylic paint;
- matching themed prints cut from napkins;
- PVA glue;
- tassels;
- finishing varnish.
Decoupage technology is simple. Prepare all the necessary materials in advance so as not to be distracted during the manufacturing process.
- Cover the surface of the glass with prepared primer or white paint and dry.
- Spread the napkin picture with PVA glue diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio.
- Using a wide brush, spread the design onto the bottle and smooth it out. Dry. You can use several different pictures.
- Additionally, the edges of the picture can be covered with a layer of paint - matching or contrasting. If the design is quite dark or bright, you can spray white paint on top to create an imitation of snow.
- After complete drying, the product must be coated with acrylic varnish for strength. This composition is odorless and absolutely harmless. The varnish also needs to be dried.
You can decorate the bottles with decorative details: hats with pompoms, beads, rhinestones, ribbons, pieces of fur.
Historical facts
In ancient China, people learned to create beautiful dishes using pictures from rice paper.
Decoupage, or the technique of implanting paper designs into objects, has a rich and interesting history, and takes its roots approximately from the 17th century.
Even in ancient China, people learned to create beautiful dishes by applying pictures of rice paper to them. This kind of work was considered difficult and was expensive.
France became the trendsetter for decoupage
France became the trendsetter in decoupage fashion. World-famous ladies, Louis XV's favorite Madame de Pompadour and Queen Marie Antoinette, whiled away their evenings doing this activity.
The royal hobby was picked up by the inhabitants of Foggy Albion, and after them, the love for the decoupage technique swept across the United States. In Russia, this fashion trend became known much later, only at the beginning of the 21st century.
