At the same time, in the process, glue is carefully applied along the entire length of the tape in small drops to fix it;

You can also paint the bottle black, blue, green or any other color before drawing.

After the drawing has dried, they begin to decorate with white or colored beads. To do this, droplets of glue are very carefully applied on the white traced lines, and then the beads are pryed with the nose of the needle and laid out in the droplets of glue. This is a very delicate and meticulous work that requires attention and accuracy. After finishing the application of beads, for better fixing of the elements, the entire bottle is covered with acrylic varnish.
