Recently, a friend decided to get married. I puzzled over the gift for a long time, and then I remembered my hobby. It was decided to make a miniature bride from a bottle of champagne. After shopping around and figuring out how much such a piece would cost in a store, I came to the conclusion that it would be very good present.
So, for the bride I needed the following materials:
-Satin ribbons 5, 2.5 and 0.6 cm wide in white and blue colors;
- a bottle of champagne;
- universal glue “moment”;
-scissors;
-lighter;
- thin lace;
-decorative mesh;
-decorative half beads in the shape of a heart;
-decorative flowers.

materials


First of all, cut off a strip of the widest tape.

cut off the strip


Its length should be approximately equal to three turns around the neck of the bottle. Then, without making an obvious fold on it, fold it in half and stitch the edges with a continuous thread.

sew the edges


Having pulled the thread a little, we make a collar that will fit tightly to the neck in the right place, and glue it with the seam down.

To ensure that the seam is securely hidden, we measure out a piece of tape of medium width that will hide it all.

On top of it we glue another similar segment so that all the dark places are hidden.

stick the tapes


In this way we measure and stick the tapes until the bottle stops expanding.

We simply wrap the part of the future bride that is straight with ribbon and secure it with glue.

Let's start decorating the dress. For this, I decided to use a decorative gold mesh and thin lace. We measure two segments equal to the circumference of the bottle.

I decided to stick them on like this to form the bride’s waist.

Now we decorate the upper part of the dress by gluing beads in the form of buttons.

I glued petals to the middle part of the dress "kanzashi", and a thin blue ribbon, emphasizing the waistline. I glued flowers to the junction of the petals and this is what happened.

Let's start with the hat. For this I needed cardboard. draw two circles of different sizes and a strip.

Next we make these cuts.

Next we make these cuts:


The left circle will be the brim of the hat, and the right circle will be the top. For convenience, on the top of the future cap we cut off the blades one at a time.

On the lower part, carefully bend the blades upward.

cover with white paper


We glue a strip of cardboard into a cylinder and cover it with white paper.

Next, generously lubricate the blades of the top with glue and, pushing them inside the central part, glue them from the inside.

Glue the bottom part in the same way.

For convenience, I used a glass that was the right size.

suitable in size


It is better to start covering the hat with ribbons from the top.

Start pasting the hat


I decided to simplify the work and pre-cut pieces of the middle tape to the required length.

cut pieces of middle tape


They first pasted over the fields at the top and bottom, and then wrapped the central part. It turned out pretty good.

I pasted over the top fields first


Well, now we decorate the hat itself. For this, I used the same mesh as a veil.

I made a pattern on the top of the hat using the same kanzashi petals, decorative flowers and half beads.

This is the kind of bride I got.
