Give your bottles an enchanting marble-look!

Step 1: Preparing the bottles or lanterns

Before you start marbling, cut a piece of the rubber cord. This will help you to create interesting patterns during the process. Knot the ends of the cord together and then wrap them as tightly as possible around your glass bottles or lanterns. Make sure that the cord is firmly attached to the glass so that the marbling paints can create the desired effects later on.

Step 2: Applying the spray paint

Make sure you cover your work area well to avoid paint stains. Old newspaper or a discarded blanket is ideal as a base. Now you are ready to apply the colour spray . Spray the jars evenly and allow the paint to dry thoroughly. This step serves as the basis for your marble effect.

Step 3: Preparing the marbling technique

For marbling, you will need an old container that is large enough for your bottles or lanterns to be completely submerged in. A disused bucket is perfect for this. Fill the container with lukewarm water - this will help the marbling paints to spread evenly over the surface of the water.

Step 4: Marbling the jars

Shake the bottles of marbling paints vigorously. Now carefully drip a few drops of the paint onto the surface of the water. Let your imagination run wild as you draw a creative pattern in the colors using a bamboo skewer. Once your desired pattern is visible, immerse the glass bottle or wind light completely in the water. Lift it out again and let it dry thoroughly on an old surface.

Step 5: Final and unveiling

The excitement is building! Once the jars are completely dry, you can carefully remove the rubber cords. Voilà - your marbled bottles or lanterns are finished and ready to brighten up your home with their extraordinary design!
