How to choose the theme and variety of equipment
What to give to a dear person or an accomplished man who does not need anything? The designer decor of a bottle of cognac as a gift for a man is often the only way to surprise a wealthy person who has everything with his inimitable offering.
People whose imagination is limitless do not need to suggest good ideas - there are many more than the possibilities for their implementation. For most lovers, to make something, ready-made examples are needed for inspiration, with a detailed description and a photo, how to perform it step by step. Experienced masters do everything in their own way, only with a cursory glance at the finished result, as in the photo of designing a bottle of cognac with a candy bouquet.
To some, multi-layer “packaging” with many elements will seem too complicated. Then you can simply layer upon layer from the bottom to paste a round cognac bottle, planted on a circle of foam, wrapping sweets or copied banknotes.
Subject design may vary, depending on the hobby of its future owner. Fans of sea travel, fishing and aquariums will certainly appreciate decoupage with fish, shells, starfish on the theme of a sea pirate. After celebrating a birthday, such glass containers are able to claim a worthy position in interior decoration.
A popular topic is personification of wealth in any form. It can be a mossy bottle from the bottom of the sea, filled with souvenir coins, on which lightning suddenly spread. A bottle of cognac, representing wealth, is best presented complete with other attributes on the same subjects, including figurines and chests, banknotes and coins.
Getting to the design of a bottle of cognac for a man, stock up on patience, improvised materials and tools.
1. | Sharp-end knife and scissors | For cutting materials. |
2. | Ruler, pencil and square | For marking up templates. |
3. | Satin ribbon of the required color | To make a neck. |

A little time - and for the birthday of a loved one an exclusive gift will be ready that will be able to amaze the most demanding company.
Registration of a bottle of cognac in a tunic
The military theme designing a bottle with an elite drink will seem interesting to many, it does not matter if there is cognac, rum or whiskey. The main thing is the shape of glass containers, which is easy to give the shape of a male torso. To do this, you need a flattened bottle with “shoulders” and a low neck, which are quite a lot on the shelves of supermarkets.
Decorating such bottles for beginners seems the most interesting, since it is easier to imagine the final result - a uniform and a cap, as in the photo.
With the help of such a gift it is easy to imitate any formal uniform:
- serviceman;
- sailor;
- MES-nickname;
- policeman;
- departmental security officer, etc.
If you carefully consider the proposed sample, it is obvious that many fragments are easy to vary, making the main elements with your own hands:
- tunic;
- shirt collar;
- tie;
- cap;
- shoulder straps;
- marks of Excellence.
Important! Recall that the accuracy of the work and the integrity of gift wrapping depends on many factors, including experience in needlework, a good tool and tools for fixing.
Before you decorate a bottle of brandy with your own hands, prepare
materials and tools:
- polyethylene;
- thin and thick cardboard;
- satin ribbon of the required color;
- slanting inlay (for wrapping);
- brushes and foam sponges for coloring;
- thematic accessories (buttons, stars for shoulder straps);
- twisted silk thread (for fixing the internal elements);
- sharp knife and scissors with sharp ends;
- a pencil and a square for marking;
- a bottle of good cognac (another strong drink).
We carry out step by step.
- Wrap a bottle of cognac in a bag, fix it with a thread and loosely pack it in a cardboard base and make a coat hanger. Seal open fragments with pieces of cardboard to size. For the convenience of fixing the rounded parts of the edge, it is better to arrange with teeth.
- We work with ribbons - a white collar imitates a silk satin. The second segment goes as the chest under the tunic. From a black tape of smaller width we form a tie and carefully fix it under the collar.
- We form a black tunic, starting with wrapping a slanting inlay in the neck, gently glue it. After the top is formed, it is better to remove the package from the bottom. The tunic is formed with tape to the very bottom.
- We form epaulets and select accessories for the insignia of the military branch, we carry out the breast badge, and a brocade ribbon medal.
- We design the lapels of the tunic and the fastener, under which it is easy to hide the joints and trim the tape. We fix the medal, badge and buttons.
- We turn to the design of caps from tape and cardboard. It is more convenient to fix a peak after cutting by a teeth a segment for fixing. It can be immediately made of black cardboard or pasted over with tape. Next, from 2 circles of the required diameter, we form a cap, as in the photo.
- After tightening the ribbon, decorate with insignia. You can give!
Tip. To ensure that the edge of the tape does not crumble, it is better to make a hot cut with heated scissors (use working gloves) or a soldering iron. You can walk along the edge with a brush with transparent silicone glue.
Gift bouquet with cognac and sweets.
Not so long ago, bouquets of sweets and banknotes (or their imitation printed on a copy machine) came into fashion, and so many interesting ideas have already appeared. Consider the most complex manufacturing option - with paper flowers and monetary symbols, as a hint of a wish for success and prosperity. This is just one of the options how to decorate a bottle of brandy with your own hands on a man’s birthday.
You can arbitrarily decorate the list of elements, but for the proposed composition you will need:
- a bottle of cognac of your favorite brand;
- crepe or crumpled paper of different colors;
- Styrofoam;
- glue gun;
- stationery knife;
- Double-sided tape;
- floristic ribbons 30 mm and 50 mm;
- souvenir money;
- Euro and dollar patterns;
- sweets in golden and color wrappers;
- chocolate coins in foil;
- bamboo sticks or toothpicks;
- glue gun or "liquid nails";
- pencil, ruler (square) and scissors;
- twisted silk thread for fixing;
- A4 cardboard;
- decorative twine.
The volume of packaging and the amount of materials for decoration varies according to the design of the volume of a bottle of brandy for a man.
Step by step.
- We cut the foam circles in steps and wrap them with crumpled paper to form the basis for souvenir packaging. The ends of the foam and the opening for the bottle are beautifully designed as a wavy ruffle.
- We spread the sweets not very tight to wrap them in flowers made of paper and place them on a finished base.
- From the squeezed paper of different shades, we cut the petals, thick dark green wrapping paper or fabric will go to the petioles.
- We form candy flowers in petals, at least 15-17, as shown in the photo.
- We turn to the manufacture of banknotes based on cardboard, they must be mounted on bamboo sticks or toothpicks.
- We form a ready-made bouquet of candy flowers, chocolate coins, souvenir money and photocopies of notes. We wrap the lower platform with a beautiful ribbon and tie it with a bow; you can insert a card with the best wishes and an envelope with real bills. Souvenir bouquet is ready for gift!
A handmade gift is always better than a “souvenir” souvenir. It doesn’t matter if this is a bottle of cognac for a man with ribbons, chocolates or paper, the main thing is an interesting idea. We suggest choosing something most suitable for your dearest person in our photo gallery.
