Instructions in 12 steps Apply the kneading-cement onto the glass bottle to get a very individual vase. For the refined pattern of lines, simply make grooves with the appropriate modelling tool.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Glass bottle 1.5 l, container for kneading of the cement (e.g. bowl with lid), disposable gloves, stable support (e.g. the lid of a plastic bucket), brush, container for silt, small container with water, turntable (item 89 259 00), PET spray bottle (item 38 798 000)

And this is how it works:

Step 1

The glass bottle must be clean and free of grease.

Step 2

Bring the distance band at the desired height (depending on how high the cement- ornament is desired) around the bottle.

Step 3

Place the glass bottle on a stable base (e.g.plastic lid) of the turntable.

Step 4

Always wear plastic gloves while working!

Step 5

Stir some liquid silt (a small amount of the kneading-cement mixed with a lot of water) and spread it onto the glass bottle by using the brush. Thanks to the applied silt, the kneading-cement holds better on the slippery bottle. Let it dry.

Step 6

Mix the remaining cement with water in the ratio 9:1 (9 parts of cement : 1 part of water). This corresponds to about 70 ml. Stir the water slowly, gradually add it while constantly kneading. Knead the crumbly mixture with damp disposable gloves (if necessary, moisten several times) until the desired consistency is achieved.

Tip: You can mix also, quickly and easily, the kneading-cement in a sealable container. Here also add the water gradually by stirring it constantly, then close the container and shake it well. That way there is less dust and the parts intermix perfectly. Knead more afterwards the crumbly mixture with wet disposable gloves (if necessary, moisten several times) until the mixture is malleable.

Step 7

Spread out the kneading-cement onto the prepared bottle by hands until it is coated all around. Potentially spread upwards the cement evenly with a slightly moistened brush.

Step 8

n the second step, you can decorate further the bottle with a sophisticated line pattern. For this purpose, make the grooves in the cement by using the modelling tool while you spin the bottle-vase on the turntable.

Step 9

Now you can take off the adhesive distance tape.

Step 10

Let it dry at least for 1 day.

Step 11

You can achieve great effects by decorating further the line pattern with a glue for foil and the mirror-foil.

Step 12

The entire drying period lasts for several days. After about 21 days the object is weatherproof.
