How to Make a Wine Bottle Gift Bag

There are times in one's life where they will need to make a wine bottle gift bag....it's a fact.  If you ever happen to find yourself in a sitch where you just don't have the perfect gift bag for a bottle of wine ....I got you, Boo!

I used this idea to make a bag for a wine and cheese gift idea I shared recently after taking a trip to World Market.  I love, love, love their selection of gift wrap.  They do carry wine bottle gift bags, but I really loved this handpainted paper and wanted to use it as part of my gift idea.

Here is what you will need to make your own pretty little bag:

A sheet of sturdy gift wrap 30"x21" (I used gift wrap from World Market)
Scissors
Double sided tape or glue
Hole Punch
Ribbon
Gift Tag

Measure out your sheet and score using the measurements shown below - be sure to work from the blank side of the paper.

Once your paper is measured, scored and folded then snip off the 2" bottom on tab A.  Then cut a 2" slit between tab B and C, D and E and E and F.  Fold up the corners of tabs B and E towards the center to create a point.

Seal Tab A to Tab G with 2-sided tape and fold up and seal the bottom tabs to make the bag.

I had a little bit of paper that overlapped.  If this happens for you, just snip off the excess - no biggie!

Add hole punches to top 1" flap and thread ribbon through holes to make a handle.  Place a piece of sturdy board inside the bag to reinforce the bottom and place your wine in the bag.

So, it's just that simple!  My takeaway tips on making this bag is to be sure you're using a good quality paper that is strong and doesn't tear easily.  Also be sure to use a strong adhesive to seal up your tabs. 

Now go on and pin and share this crafty project with your friends!!!

Wine and Cheese Gifts with Expressionery Wraps

I recently had an opportunity to put together a gift using items and gift wrap from World Market and created a sweet gift tag using a Laura Kelly licensed design self-inking stamp from Expressionery Wraps.  (CANNOT get over how cute that stamp is!)

I need to be clear.....I LOVE ME SOME WORLD MARKET....It's right up there with my love for Tar-jay and Ikea.  So, working on this project was simple math SHOPPING + WORLD MARKET + GIFT MAKING + STAMPING = WIN FOR KEISHA.  

Whilst perusing the aisles for a gift, I came across the one and ONLY wooden picnic basket in the store. It was thee quintessential picnic basket!  Rustic, woven and perfect!  I was in love. Now all that was left to do was come to up with something else to put into the basket for a gift!

World Market has an AMAAAAZING wine section and nothing pairs better with wine than some good old cheese & crackers.  So, I tossed in summadat along with a fancy wine infused salami, acrylic stemless wine glasses (aka tumblers).....because they're light, portable, not prone to break....and very pretty napkins.  Oh the joys of World Market.  A wine and cheese picnic basket is a great gift idea to give anyone with a taste for the finer things in life - right?  Right!  

I assembled my gift basket like a BOSS and then made a wine bottle gift bag using a sheet of  very, oh so very pretty paper wrap from World Market.   Then, cause I'm crafty like that, I made tags for my gift bag and basket using the stamp that I received from Expressionery Wraps --- and let me just say this stamp is so me!  It has a cupcake on it.....a cupcake people!  So friggin' adorbs!!!!  

If I haven't made it clear......I love this stamp!

This basket also would make a nice welcome home gift to a new homeowner, newlyweds, bride-to-be or just someone who loves them a good old basket of HELLOOOO!!!!
