The milk bottle makes it
These milk bottles are an eye-catcher on every breakfast table, because the retro labels gave them a nostalgic touch.
You need this for the milk bottles:
- Template for the motif (eg cereal packaging)
- Scanner, computer, inkjet printer
- Ceramic foil Avery Zweckform My Design for Inkjet (eg Saturn, approx. 10 € for 2 sheets in DIN A4)
- glass bottle
- scissors
- Iron
- baking paper
- Small bowl of water
- soft cloth
And that's how easy it is:
1. It's best to scan the desired subject . Then print the motif on the coated side of the transfer ribbon with the inkjet printer. It is important that the motif is printed mirror-inverted, so that later on the bottle it can be seen laterally.
2. Cut out the printed motif roughly .
3. Now the transfer foil is connected to the carrier foil . For this purpose, the carrier film is cut to exactly match the printed carrier film.
4. Place the printed side of the transfer ribbon on the coated, glossy side of the carrier foil.
5. Iron with the iron over the foils. Tip: Switch off steam function of the iron and cover the film with baking paper.
6. Press the iron on the slides for about four seconds without moving it.
7. Turn the slides over and press the iron again for four seconds.
8. Allow the slides to cool.
9. Cut the subject exactly. Put the foil in lukewarm water for about a minute. As a result, the motif is released from the film and can be placed on the desired location. The bottle should be dry and clean for this.
10. Wipe off with a soft cloth the remaining moisture, then dry the motif for at least one hour.
11. Bake the bottle at 175 degrees for about half an hour on a medium rack in the oven. To cool, the bottle can remain in the oven.
12. According to the manufacturer, the motif is dishwasher safe . To be on the safe side, you should rather rinse by hand.
