Winter Wine Gift Wrap
December 8, 2011 at 7:25 am | Posted in Holiday Ideas | 7 CommentsI don’t know how to knit, but I adore all of the sweater-like sleeves showing up on home accessories, like this vase or this coffee cozy. Last weekend, I needed an easy idea for wrapping a bottle of wine to take to a party and realized that I could use a similar technique to give the bottle a festive, wintery look. And, it didn’t involve any knitting!
I started with an old sweater that I no longer wear.
I cut the sleeve, turned it inside out and tied the cut end with a piece of yarn.
Next, I made a pom pom using this great tutorial from Creature Comforts.
I placed the wine bottle into the sleeve and tied the pom pom to the neck of the bottle (and attached a small gift tag).

Adorable!! While I don’t have any sweaters that I could cut up, it would be so easy to head to the thrift store to grab a few sweaters on that cheap that could be cut up. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love this idea! What a great way to repurpose sweaters from Goodwill or the give-away bag.
