Lady with pepper


Every housewife strives to make her kitchen not only convenient for working in it, but also original and beautiful. So that guests who come in for a light and are invited to drink tea would be surprised by your taste and individuality in the design of kitchen accessories in the Russian style. After all, a correctly selected and made accessory not only pleases the eye, but also emphasizes the stylishness of the interior and adds the uniqueness of your kitchen. I suggest using empty but original-shaped bottles to make a beautiful accessory for your kitchen. To decorate original bottles we will need:
1.Three bottles of original shape.
2. Bright material of any color that will suit your kitchen.
3. A piece of leather, preferably patent leather.
4. A piece from an old plastic hard folder.
5. Wire, pliers, wire cutters.
6. Several types of rope (which ones suit you)
7. Glue gun.
8. Cereals of different types.
9. Fresh red pepper.
10. Plain salt, bath salt, used coffee, dry red pepper, curry. We take the first bottle and fill it in layers with cereals of different colors.I used layers: brown beans, peas, lentils, rice, buckwheat, small vermicelli.

We take the second bottle and fill it in layers in the same way. I used: red sea salt,

plain salt mixed with dry red pepper, which gave the salt a reddish tint,

pure salt, coffee, salt mixed with curry.

We take bottle caps (I have them like champagne bottles), carefully coat them with glue from a gun and roll one cork in corn grits,

and the second in salt mixed with curry.

The caps will later have a face, so we need a more natural color. Fill the third bottle with red hot pepper, pour boiling water and vinegar and screw tightly. (The filling can then be used as an additive to salads). All bottles are ready. Now let's move on to the external design of the bottles. The first bottle is a gentleman. We take a rope of three colors - blue, yellow and gray - and make something like clothes from them.

Use a glue gun to make a path and place a rope along it.

Then we twist the yellow rope onto a pencil, it becomes wavy, and we glue it onto the cork like a forelock.

Eyes made of lentils, pupils made of felt-tip pen, lips red sea salt. We cut a tie from colored material

We take the second bottle and make a girl out of it. We make the eyes and mouth from the same thing. We make a long skirt from bay leaves,

Cut out a scarf from fabric (triangle and strip)

and a wide shirt with a collar (a rectangular piece of fabric). We fold the scarf along the edge and stitch it, sew on a long strip to tie it at the back. We will fold a rectangular piece of fabric and stitch it at the top and bottom, and also sew a strip in the middle for threading a rope there.

Let's put a rope in the middle and pull it together to create the effect of a bristling flap and collar. The second bottle is ready.

Now let's move on to the next bottle, we will use it to make a lady with a “pepper”. We cover the neck of the bottle with white rope, this will be our face and neck.

We cut out the eyes from the skin and glue them on, the lips with red sea salt (I made it a little darker with a felt-tip pen). We glue a necklace along the edge of the neck,

Every housewife has plastic beads, buttons or jewelry. Using pliers, we bend glasses for the lady out of wire, and use wire cutters to bite them off where necessary.

They bent the ear, made a circle,

went in a curve to the bridge of the nose, again a circle and an ear,

bit off the wire. That's it, the glasses are ready.

The wire can be painted any color. Now let's move on to the hat. We cut out two identical circles from the material. We sew them on a machine at the extreme end, but not quite, leaving room for inserting a plastic circle. From plastic (I cut it from an old plastic folder) we cut out a circle of the same size. Then in the middle of the plastic we cut out a circle the size of a cork (the lady's head).
We insert the plastic circle into the fabric circle.

Lady with pepper


That's it, the hat brim is ready. In the middle of the brim of the hat we make cuts in the material and put it on the bottle. I covered the top of the hat with pink rope in a circle.

I glued dark rhinestones on the sides of the top of the hat, creating the effect of a tall cockade. I took the rhinestones from an old purse. I glued a flower to the side of the hat.

Lady with pepper
