GIFT WRAP IDEAS » THAT ONE BOTTLE OF WINE...
Calling out to all the late birds who still have some presents to wrap - I don't judge you (said the girl who just finished printing tags for her gifts). I think when it comes to presents the harder to wrap are bottles. Be it wine or any other fancy liquid it's ok to give, I always struggle if I leave out the classic wine bag option (which 1. I don't like, 2. it's hella expensive).
So I was scrolling through on Pinterest (the place where all the great ideas are) when I came across this. Falling head over heels for the geniality and cuteness of the idea, I decided to give it a go, making it a little simpler and more 'covering', so that the surprise will still be there!
Here's how »
- Start with the hat: cut out a triangle shape from a colored piece of cardboard, then wrap it around the bottle - this will ensure the hat fits - to create a cone and secure it with some tape.
- Now simply take some wrapping paper and wrap it around the bottle body. Secure it on the back and bottom.
- For the beard: cut out a U shape that's a little more pointy from a sheet of simple white paper. Create some little cuts around the edges using scissors - this will give the beard a fuzzy look. Now stick it on the 'dress' using a piece of double faced tape.
- Now onto the tricky part: the nose. Here you should go a little creative, my friends. I took a piece of cotton and wrapped it in some flesh colored tulle I had hanging around. Finally, I stuck it on the bottom of the hat using hot glue.
There you go! Also, remember that you can turn the gnome into a little Santa just by using some red for the hat.
Merry Christmas!
