Simple is best
Explore our simple but delicate way to wrap a wine bottle to add a lil bit of dazzle.
Materials:
Wrapping Paper
Scissors
Tape
Ribbon
Wine Bottle
Gift Tag
Instructions:
- Gather all your gift wrapping materials and lay them out in front of you, make sure you have enough wrapping paper to cover your bottle.
- Lay out your wrapping paper on a flat surface with the pattern facing down. Place your wine bottle on the paper and estimate how much
paper you’ll need to wrap it completely, leaving a little extra on the side for an overlap then cut. - Place your wine bottle in the centre of the cut wrapping paper, roll the paper around the bottle and secure the overlap edge with your tape.
- To make the top and bottom of the wine bottle look neat, twist one end and tuck it into the top opening of the bottle, fold and secure the other
end into the bottom of the bottle. - Take your ribbon and tie it around the neck of the wine bottle, you could tie it into a classic bow or a fancy knot. Make sure it’s secure and looks good!
- If you want to go the extra mile with your gift wrapping this year, attach a gift tag that has a nice personalised message onto the ribbon and wrap it around.
A little bit extra!
Gift Wrapping for experts
If you have a little bit of time up your sleeve and wanting to give your gift a little bit of jazzing up,this is for you!
Materials:
Wine Bottle
Cellophane
Transparent wine gift bag
Tissue Paper
Ribbon
Gift Tag
Instructions:
- Gather all of your gift wrapping materials and lay them in front of you so you have easy access to everything you need.
- Grab the gift bag you are going to use and fill it in with your chosen tissue paper to create a decorative base layer.
- Place your wine bottle into the cellophane bag ensuring it stands upright on the tissue paper.
- Once the wine bottle is inside the bag, add more tissue paper to make it look fuller and more visually appealing to the eye.
- Gather the top of the cellophane bag around the neck of the bottle creating a gathered effect, twist the excess bag at the top
to secure the bottle in place.
- Tie a ribbon of your choice around the twisted part of the bag or a bow as a signature touch to the wine gift.
NOTE: A fun little additive is to add Christmas decorations in the bag so the more they look into the bag
the more joy they get. Some fun ideas would be a christmas decoration, a cute card, small chocolate bars etc.
