Glass bottle decal craft is a process of transferring designs or patterns onto glass bottles using decal paper, heat, and pressure. The process involves the following steps:
Designing: The design is created using computer software, and then printed onto decal paper using a special printer.
Cutting: The printed design is cut out from the decal paper and soaked in water to loosen the backing paper.
Applying: The decal is then placed onto the glass bottle and carefully positioned. The excess water and air bubbles are removed using a squeegee or other similar tool.
Drying: The decal is allowed to dry for several hours or overnight.
Firing: The glass bottle is placed in a kiln or oven and heated to a high temperature, causing the decal to fuse with the glass.
Cooling: The glass bottle is then slowly cooled to room temperature.
The resulting glass bottle has a permanent and durable decoration that is resistant to scratching and fading. This technique is commonly used in the production of decorative glassware, beverage bottles, and other types of glass containers.
