- A bottle of champagne.
- Alcohol or acetone to degrease the bottle.
- Napkins. If you couldn’t find napkins that match your idea, you should just print out the picture.
- Foam sponge.

How to decorate with glitter?
An original and elegant bottle for the New Year can be decorated not only with pieces of fabric or themed napkins, but also with shining sparkles. This simple component can give the base a very bright and festive look, which will elegantly emphasize the holiday atmosphere.
Along with glitter, you can use other decorative components. In a single combination, they will make wonderful bottle decorations. Let's consider what positions should be used to decorate such an interesting New Year's homemade product:
- spray can with golden paint;
- glitter;
- adhesive composition (ordinary PVA glue will be sufficient).
Let's consider the correct sequence of decorative design of a bottle using the listed components.
- At the first stage, it is advisable to carefully prepare the workplace for all creative manipulations. The table on which the bottle will be decorated must be covered with newspapers. You should do the same with the nearby area so that it is not stained with golden paint.
- Next, take a bottle. You can remove paper labels and stickers from it, or you can leave it. Different masters act differently. If you decide to remove the labels, it is important to remove all remaining adhesive on the glass walls, otherwise they will be visible on the gold paint.
- The bottle will need to be covered with a continuous layer of beautiful golden paint. After this, you should wait until it is completely dry. Until this moment, you cannot begin further manipulations, otherwise the craft can be ruined.
- As soon as the golden layer on the bottle has completely set and becomes completely dry, the surface of the workpiece will need to be completely coated with a layer of PVA adhesive solution. To make applying this component as convenient as possible, it is recommended to use a brush.
- After this, the prepared bottle, coated with glue, is sprinkled with glitter. They should be beautifully distributed over the surface of the bottle to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
Using a similar scheme, you can decorate the bottle with rhinestones. The only difference in the decoration technique will be in the features of fixing the decorations. For each shiny pebble you will need to select a specific place on the prepared vessel. As a result, you can form a very beautiful pattern, designed in a New Year's theme.
Features of the decoupage technique
The decoupage technique has its roots in distant past times. Today it is once again popular and is one of the popular and stylish types of handicraft. In French, the verb “découper” is translated as “to cut.”
By following step-by-step steps, even beginners in this business can create original products.
There are several ways:
- Classic or direct decoupage. The essence of this method is to use multi-layer napkins to decorate products with round shapes. This is the simplest and most popular method.
- Reverse decoupage has certain subtleties. In principle, this is the same classical technique, but produced on the reverse side of the object being decorated.
- Smoky decoupage (it is called an artistic method). The peculiarity of this technique is visible in the final merging of the background and the picture. As a result, the appearance of a true painting is created, where the transition border is barely noticeable.
- Light deco patch is a kind of decoupage method. This technique is very similar to the patchwork technique. The difference is in the material used. Special thin rice paper is used.
- Volumetric decoupage is technically somewhat more difficult to execute. By observing and following certain rules, creating unique paintings and 3D decoupage souvenirs will not be difficult.
Modern decoupage art has its own trends and pursues a single goal: to create the maximum effect of a painted picture on a specific object.
Removable felt cover
The original decoration is reusable felt covers in the shape of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.
Felt covers for champagne bottles
Take:
- a bottle of champagne;
- paper;
- bias tape in red and blue colors (sold at any sewing store);
- silver ribbon;
- glue;
- sushi stick;
- a little padding polyester or cotton wool;
- needle, thread;
- wide red satin ribbon;
- decor (white beads, lace, sparkles).
Making a cover
Draw 2 rectangles on a sheet of paper, one with sides 14 and 30 cm, the second - 8 and 30 cm. Cut them out. Attach the wider one to the bottle, glue the ends of the part so that the resulting pipe can be easily removed. Now glue the second rectangle at an angle, cutting off the excess parts. You need to act carefully. Try to make the part even: all small folds and irregularities will be visible on the finished product.
Felt case in the shape of Santa Claus
When the glue dries, start decorating the case. Apply silver tape to the top of the paper piece and cut enough to make a full turn. Place the tape on the paper. If it is wide, then one strip is enough; a narrow one will have to be glued in 2-3 rows.
Christmas bottle covers
Take bias tape and cover the entire cover with it, all the way to the bottom. Proceed in the same way as when gluing tape.
Christmas bottle covers
Take the lace, attach it at the junction of the trim and the ribbon - you will get a collar. Do not rush to cut off the lace by wrapping it around the bottle: use it to disguise the junction of the trim. You can also trim the bottom of the cover with lace.
Satin champagne case
Try removing and putting the cover on the bottle again - is it easy? If no difficulties arise, then everything was done correctly.
Staff
Start making the staff: take a stick, coat it with glue, and then wrap it with red bias tape. Decorate with silver ribbon, securing the ends with hot glue gun.
A bag with presents
Take a wide satin ribbon and cut a small strip. Fold it in half and sew it together using a sewing machine or needle and thread. You need to leave 2-3 cm unstitched on each side. Turn the finished bag right side out and put a piece of cotton wool or padding polyester in it.
New Year felt and wool decoration for bottles
Cut a small strip of narrow silver ribbon and tie a bag. If desired, you can decorate the bow with a bead.
A cap
Cut a strip of paper slightly longer than the circumference of a champagne cork. Glue the ends of the part. Attach it to the paper and draw a circle. Cut it out and glue it to the cylinder.
Knitted bottle covers
When the glue dries, decorate the workpiece by covering it with a wide red ribbon or bias tape. Secure the tape with hot glue.

Champagne bottles decorated for the New Year
Decorating with tissue paper
Why not use this wonderful material to decorate a bottle of champagne for the New Year 2022! Simple, fast and beautiful. Let's study and do!
To work you will need:
- Cigarette paper;
- Paper glue;
- Thermal gun;
- Palm paper leaves;
- Candies.
Progress
- Then, using glue, glue one candy to each square, strictly in the center.
- We wrap the ends of the paper square from the base to the top. We do this with all the squares with candies.
- Moving from bottom to top, apply glue to the square from the back side and glue it to the champagne bottle. Thus, in a circle, in a checkerboard pattern, we cover the entire surface of the container.
- Now we take paper leaves, roll them into a circle (the diameter should be equal to the neck of the bottle), and glue them together.
- Attach the resulting bundle to the neck of the bottle. The product is ready!
In a holiday bag
In order to festively decorate a bottle of champagne for the New Year, you don’t have to fuss with its design. You can make an excellent decoration with your own hands using fabric in the form of a colorful magic bag, into which your sparkling wine can then easily be hidden. This option is also perfect as a gift for anyone. So, let's start our design business.
To make it you will need:
- fleece in red, beige and white;
- white and red threads of dense quality;
- needle;
- black acrylic paints;
- thin brush;
- scissors;
- satin ribbon or decorative rope;
- a simple pencil;
- white sheet of paper.
Progress:
- To get started, we need to create a pattern for our future bag. To do this, first of all, we take measurements from our bottle of champagne in order to subsequently transfer them to a white sheet of paper.
- We transfer our paper patterns onto red fleece fabric and cut them out using scissors. Let's put aside the details of the bag for a while and start making a pattern for Santa Claus's face in order to subsequently decorate our New Year's product. To do this, we take a beige fleece fabric for the face, and a white one for the beard, mustache and the edge of the supposed hat. Looking at the photo, we create patterns and sew them using a sewing machine to one part of the bag. From a small red piece of fleece we will make a nose for our fairy-tale hero, and using acrylic black paints and a thin brush we will add eyes.
- We sew the decorated part of the bag with its second half. So our beautiful elegant decoration for the New Year 2022 is ready, which should be in sight of all members of your family. And since this work is done with your own hands, it is worth appreciating and extolling.
Our selection of colorful photo ideas will inspire you to new fruitful thoughts and you will create the same beauty.

Decoupage of a champagne bottle for the New Year 2022 “Santa Claus’s House”
We offer another interesting option on how to decorate a bottle of champagne with your own hands for the New Year 2022 using the decoupage technique. For decoration you will need ordinary napkins, but with the image of Santa Claus. If you wish, you can come up with your own plot.
Materials:
- priming;
- acrylic paints;
- napkins;
- acrylic lacquer;
- Styrofoam;
- hot glue, PVA.
Master Class:
- We remove all labels from the bottle and be sure to degrease the surface before decorating.
- Now prime the bottle with white acrylic paint using a small piece of foam rubber or sponge.
- Cut out the desired fragment from the napkin and separate the bottom layer; for work you will only need the top layer of paint.
- The place on the bottle where we will apply the image is lightly rubbed with sandpaper, then we apply PVA glue.
- Place the cut out fragment with the pattern down on the bag or file, sprinkle it with water, and straighten the resulting wrinkles.
- We attach the file with a napkin to the bottle, carefully iron it, then remove the file, let the picture dry and cover it with acrylic varnish.
- We cut the foam into small pieces and glue it around the picture, that is, we make a window.
- Mix the putty with PVA glue and make a chimney on the neck of the bottle. We simply apply the composition to the neck and squeeze out the brickwork with thread.
- We make a mixture of PVA glue and plain water. We dip napkins into it and randomly apply it to the bottle, and in the end we get snow walls.
- Using hot glue we make an ice roof for the house.
- Now we paint the pipe and window brown, and the walls and ice roof white. Finally, for shine, we cover everything with acrylic varnish.
For better adhesion of the primer to the glass surface, make the first layer thin, dry it well and apply the second layer. The pipe can be made from salt dough.
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.
Painting
On the eve of the holiday, buy a special paint that can be applied to glass. The paint is not destroyed by water because it has a stable base. Take a bright paint color, then the bottle will look festive, but tasteful. Place the bottle, cleared of the label, on a piece of unnecessary paper, it could be an old newspaper, for example. Apply paint with a brush or from a can onto the glass. Wait for it to dry completely and after about 1-2 hours, coat the glass with a second coat of paint. Next, rhinestones, snowflakes cut from napkins and other small details are suitable for decoration. Distribute the elements over the entire surface of the bottle, secure with double-sided tape or superglue.
Important! When you paint a bottle, open the vents and windows in the house, and don’t forget to wear gloves so as not to get dirty.
New Year bottle design options
Snowmen, Christmas trees, cheerful children on skis - there are many motifs of napkins for New Year's decoupage, choose according to your taste

Decoupage of champagne for the New Year with romantic notes
Champagne decor in vintage style
Master class with fabric
Do-it-yourself step-by-step decoupage of a bottle of champagne for the New Year is done as follows. The bottle is cleared of labels, leaving the foil intact. The glass is degreased.
Prepare a bottle of champagne by removing the label
Then dilute PVA glue with water in equal proportions and soak a piece of fabric in the solution to soak it. After squeezing lightly, apply it to the bottle, leaving the folds in any form until completely dry.
Apply cloth to bottle
Next we paint it with acrylic paint and dry it again. We glue the drawings from the napkins onto a fabric base, which can be tinted again depending on the intended plot or as your imagination dictates.
After the fabric has dried on the bottle, apply a decoupage napkin and cover it with paint at your discretion
As for the champagne neck, you can turn it into a melted candle by making drops with a glue gun, or you can simply decorate it with ribbon. The final touch is a varnish coating in several stages. Decoupage with fabric is considered the most effective. The master class serves as the basis, so all the bottles can be decorated for the New Year using the decoupage technique.
Advice! When working with napkins, it is recommended to tear out the designs; if you cut them out, the contours will be noticeable.
An example of bottle decoration using fabric
In addition to the examples above, there are many other types of decoupage. For the New Year, you can prepare a set of bottles with different options and styles of decoration. For example, it is not necessary to apply a specific design; it is enough to randomly cover the entire surface with pieces of colored drawings or photos, and then follow the usual decoupage technique.
Another type, the so-called reverse. The New Year's motif is attached to the opposite side of the bottle and the process is performed in reverse order, that is, the surface is processed from the front side of the design.
Reverse decoupage of a bottle looks very original
The combination of pasted New Year's pictures with the use of other various techniques that conceal transitions looks fabulous. For example, elements of painting. This creates a painting effect.
Shells, salt, eggshells, cereals and even putty are used as materials for decoupage.
Using salt when decoupaging a bottle
Whatever technique you choose to decoupage bottles for the New Year, the proposed master class with photos will certainly help, and for detailed information you can watch the video.

Original bottle decor made from thuja branches
If you need the best ideas on how you can decorate a bottle of champagne with your own hands for the New Year 2022, then we offer original decor from thuja branches. Such a bottle can serve as a New Year's gift, New Year's table decoration, or as a night light if you place a garland in an already empty bottle.
Materials:
- thuja branches;
- acrylic paints;
- acrylic lacquer;
- beads;
- salt, glitter.
Master Class:
- We degrease a bottle without labels and cover it with acrylic varnish, but apply the varnish only to the area where we will apply the twig.
- Now we apply a thuja sprig and also apply acrylic varnish on top with a brush. Leave until completely dry, and then glue all the other branches in a circle.
- Then we glue small ones between the large branches.
- Using hot glue we make a snowfall, which we then cover with white acrylic paint. We also apply paint to the thuja branches.
- Then cover the bottle decor with acrylic varnish and leave for 5 minutes.
- Mix salt with silver glitter, sprinkle and leave until the varnish is completely dry.
- Now we glue small beads or rhinestones to the thuja branches and secure everything with hairspray.
For decoration we use only fresh thuja branches; dry branches will simply break.
Decorating the bottle
Create bottle decor from different materials
It is possible that items are stored unnecessarily in your closet. So today is their finest hour. I use at work:
- beads;
- rhinestones;
- lace, satin and silk ribbons;
- old brooches;
- cones and tree bark;
- cotton wool;
- silver and gold spray paint;
- leg-split.
Wrap the neck with twine and paint it if desired.
I also practice various design options. Today I am pleased to offer them to you:
- Tie colored satin or cotton, colored or checkered ribbons and bows onto the bottle hangers.
- Glue pearls or rhinestones along the bottom contour with super-moment glue.
- Wrap the neck with twine and paint it silver or red.
- Paint the pine cones with gold paint and attach them to the project.
- Artificial rowan or viburnum berries are suitable as decoration.
- Powdered New Year's balls.
I ask you to maintain a sense of proportion. The bottle should be bright, stylish, beautiful. Don't overload it with unnecessary details and decorations.
Red ribbons look great when paired with golden cones, and the romantic motif is ideally complemented by stylish pearls and lace.
Decorating champagne with candies
Pineapple decor
The traditional combination of chocolates and sparkling wine can be arranged as one whole composition. We invite you to make New Year's champagne-pineapple.
To make a pineapple from sweets and champagne for the New Year with your own hands you will need:
- sparkling wine of your choice;
- wide paper tape;
- scissors;
- round chocolates in yellow packaging;
- hot glue gun;
- decorative bow or ribbon;
- green corrugated paper;
- paper for packaging.
How to decorate a bottle of champagne for the New Year in this style:
1. The wide part must first be covered with paper tape. This simple action will increase the adhesion force of the candies to the surface.
2. We attach each candy to the walls using adhesive. The first row starts from the bottom. The rows are formed in the same way until the neck begins.
3. Thin strips are cut from corrugated paper, symbolizing the top of the pineapple. The ends of the paper can be twisted by pressing them against the sharp part of the scissors and pulling them through.
- All that remains is to decorate and pack a beautiful gift of sweets and champagne. Wrap everything in wrapping paper and tie a nice bow on top.
Decor in the form of a Christmas tree
Another easy-to-execute way to decorate a gift from a bottle of champagne and sweets.
For the Christmas tree you will need:
- glue gun;
- a sparkling wine;
- green tinsel;
- round shaped candy;
- decorative bow;
- beads
The sequence of actions on how to make a Christmas tree from champagne and sweets:
1. First of all, you need to wrap the tinsel around the champagne. The edges of the tinsel are fixed with glue.
2. How to decorate a bottle of champagne with sweets? By slightly moving the strips of tinsel apart, you can use glue to fix each one separately.
- In this option there are no clear layouts of the candies; the most important thing is the organic appearance of the finished composition.
3. The finished champagne bottle Christmas tree is decorated with a decorative bow at the neck and beads wrapped around it.
Decoration with corrugated paper
Corrugated paper, especially festive green, will perfectly decorate your bottle of champagne for the New Year 2022. It’s not at all difficult to do it yourself, especially for beginners, you just need to purchase this material at an office supply store and stock up on some details for further New Year’s decor. As you can see in the photo, these can be golden ribbons that play the role of securing paper, bells, flowers, gift ribbons in all their variety, beads and much more, collected in a specific festive composition. So let's get started.
To work you need:
- corrugated paper (any color);
- a bottle of champagne;
- gold thin ribbon;
- gift ribbon (different colors);
- floral paper;
- ready-made gift bows;
- scotch;
- all kinds of decorations on hand.
Progress:
- Grab a bottle of champagne and get to work. First you need to design the neck and stopper. To do this, carefully wrap them with a small piece of corrugated paper. To prevent the paper from opening, we secure it with tape.
- We do similar work with the rest of our product, wrapping it with the same material, and for fixation we use a piece of gold gift ribbon.
- The final stage. To do this, you need to decorate the sparkling wine with a New Year's decorative composition, which you can make from anything. Let's say, as in our case, these are bells, ready-made gift bows, beads, rain, artificial flowers (you can replace them with small Christmas balls), transparent colored floral paper.
Such beauty, made with your own hands, can be placed not only under the tree for the New Year 2022, but also presented as a gift to loved ones. They will certainly appreciate it. In order to make several souvenir copies, you should check out our video tutorial, which will provide you with another great idea.
Pay attention to detail
Ordinary purchased alcohol rarely stands out for its external beauty; all emphasis is placed on the quality of the liquid inside. The initial appearance literally prompts the question of how to decorate champagne for the New Year; this task is not as difficult as it seems.
There is no need to contact a printing house or distillery; the old label can be veiled with improvised materials. Decorating with your own hands opens up a lot of interesting opportunities; painstaking work will help you achieve any desired result.
Regardless of the brand, New Year's bottles should look in the spirit of the holiday, bright, pretty and impressive. With such an original addition, the mood of all guests is guaranteed to be good, and it will be very pleasant to hear compliments towards the owner. An event of this scale happens once a year, so it is advisable that it be remembered only by positive emotions.
Decorate in the shape of a pineapple
Turn a New Year's bottle of champagne into a pineapple, like in the photo! This is not at all difficult, and the finished souvenir will look festive and original.
You will need:
- green and orange tissue paper for pineapple leaves,
- round candies in gold foil (such as “Ferero Rocher” or “Evening Kyiv”),
- glue,
- glue gun,
- twine.
Process of creation:
- So let's get started. Cut orange tissue paper into squares measuring six by six centimeters.
- Drip glue onto the flat side of the candy and place the candy in the center of the paper square. After the candy is securely attached to the paper, fold the edges of the paper so that they “envelop” the candy.
- Start by using a glue gun to cover the bottle of champagne with candies in a circle. Since we are not gluing foil, but tissue paper, there should be no problems. When gluing, follow these two principles: place the candies as closely as possible to each other so that there are no gaps between them. The second secret to successfully making a souvenir is to glue the sweets from bottom to top in concentric circles. Of course, you can attach candies in different colors, but then the “pineapple” will look sloppy.
- Using scissors, cut out thin long leaves from tissue paper to decorate the neck of the glass container in a circle. For this we also use glue.
- Wrap it with twine in the place where the candies meet the leaves.
This master class will make you a real specialist in the field of creating an extraordinary souvenir, especially since it will not take much effort and time, and the material you need is the simplest.
A few words about decoupage
Decoupage is an application of pictures made using technology using paints, glue and varnish
Decoupage is an application of pictures made using a certain technology, using paints, glue and varnish. It has taken its rightful place in the collection of ideas for decorating interior items.
This activity delights adults and children and can become a hobby for life. With the help of simple execution techniques it is possible to create exquisite things and unique gifts for loved ones.
A little imagination, a little patience, plus hard work and a New Year's masterpiece in your hands
In our case, the subject of the design will be a New Year's bottle. Holding this work of art in your hands (I’m not afraid of this word), it’s hard to believe that recently it was a nondescript piece of glass. A little imagination, a little patience, plus hard work and a New Year's masterpiece in your hands.
Necessary materials
To understand what materials will be needed in the process of decorating a bottle, you need to decide on the decoration method. This can be a simple design with tinsel, sparkles, serpentine and other New Year's attributes. To fix them, you don’t need additional accessories; you just need to beautifully wrap the garlands around the bottle or tie them with a bow. Champagne decorated in this way will look good on the table during a noisy festive feast or corporate party.
Another way to quickly decorate a bottle will require you to purchase special thermal stickers (custom labels) with thematic designs and wishes.
The original labels are removed from the vessel by dipping in heated water.
Very often, paints and decoupage techniques are used for decoration. Both of these options are considered the most classic. To create the outer “clothes” of champagne using these techniques you will need:
- acrylic paints;
- special contours;
- brush;
- thematic drawings and stencils;
- napkins;
- PVA glue;
- water-based varnish;
- additional decorations: beads, ribbons, wreaths.
If you decide that your bottle will have beautiful New Year's wreaths on it, you should purchase the following materials to create them:
- wire;
- designer paper;
- artificial or natural spruce branches;
- dry flowers;
- walnuts;
- tangerines;
- dried fruits;
- satin ribbons;
- cord;
- lace fabric.
A wreath created from these materials will itself be a highlight in the design of sparkling wine. For greater solemnity, it is recommended to first wrap the bottle with foil or any decorative paper (for example, corrugated) and put a wreath on top of it.
The finishing touch will be decorating the wreath with a transparent pendant or satin bow.
If you love crafts, you can make special pockets for drinks.
To create them you will need:
- fabric of neutral tone (beige, creme brulee); It is recommended to choose natural materials such as linen, cotton, felt, and if they are unavailable, you can use any fabric that is at hand;
- thick threads (decorative, interspersed with lurex);
- needles or sewing machine;
- a pattern made independently based on the parameters of the bottle;
- decorative elements: buttons, beads, ribbons, stickers, lace, rhinestones, sequins.
Pockets can not be sewn, but knitted or crocheted in the form of a pullover, a Snow Maiden dress, or a Santa Claus outfit. You can also complement these outfits with knitted winter accessories: a hat and scarf. Based on your skills and imagination, knitted items can be made in the form of the symbol of the year, a snowman and other characters.
To create knitted decorative patterns you will need:
- knitting needles – No. 1,2,3;
- hooks – No. 1,2;
- acrylic yarn of different colors (green, red, white, brown);
- knitting patterns.
You can also decorate a holiday bottle with a drink in other ways.
Let us give some interesting examples.
- Decorative cord. Additional tools you will need: glue, lace elements, beads, buttons, decorative figures, fur.
- Sparkles. You will need glue. The decoration can cover the entire bottle or be applied in stencils to certain areas of the champagne.
- An aerosol can. For a more festive design, you can apply paint using appliqués and stencils.
