A bottle with the favorite drink of the hero of the occasion is already a good anniversary gift in itself. But it is much more interesting if, instead of the usual sticker, a skillfully decorated photograph of the hero of the day flaunts on it.

Instructions

Step 1

Buy a bottle of the hero's favorite drink (non-alcoholic or alcoholic, depending on his preference). If you don't know what drink he likes, subtly ask about it.

Step 2

Carefully peel off the sticker from the bottle so as not to damage it.

Step 3

Scan the decal you removed from the bottle at a resolution of 300 dpi in the scanner control software.

Step 4

If you did not have a photo of the hero of the occasion on your computer, in advance, a few days before the event, take a photo of him under any pretext (for example, tell him that the picture is necessary for publication in the wall newspaper). But by no means tell him what the real purpose of the photograph is.

Step 5

Use any photo editing software such as Mtpaint, GIMP, Irfan View or Photoshop to create an organic collage based on the scanned image of the hero of the day. If desired, almost imperceptibly remake the inscriptions on the label so that, for example, instead of the name of the drink, a congratulation to the hero of the day, made in the same or similar font, flaunts on the new sticker.

Step 6

Be sure to find a color laser printer at work or at someone you know. Inkjet will not work because the glue and tape will cause the ink to spread. As a last resort, use a black and white laser printer, and then color the printout with colored pencils (not markers!), Without, however, subjecting the photo to coloring.

Step 7

Make the print itself the same size as the original sticker. Cover the front side with wide adhesive tape and only then cut along the contour.

Step 8

Wipe the bottle dry. Handle it with particular care if it contains champagne. Place a new label on the bottle. At the festive event, present your original gift to the hero of the day.
