I’m so very excited to share with you our very first awesome tutorial submitted by the very talented Julia Moss from Scrapella’s Blog! With the holiday season fast approaching I can guarantee many of us are going to be pulling our hair out trying to think of the “perfect gift” and then how to wrap it to make it extra-special. Take a look at this gorgeous wine bag and tag Julia designed for us with a super well-written tutorial and photographs along the way. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous and makes the gift of wine an even more sophisticated and elegant gift to give no matter if it’s a $1.98 2010 bottle of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill or a $24,675 – 1941 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley.

Wine Bottle Gift Bag and Tag created by Julia Moss
“An elegant way to present a bottle of wine is with a gift bag and tag that is handmade.”
Here is what you need:
For the bag: 15” x 15” piece of fabric and coordinating thread
Sewing Machine
For the tag: 7” x 3 ½” cardstock
6 7/8” x 3 3/8” coordinating cardstock
1 ½” circle punch (larger punch for thicker fabric)
Scoring tool
Embellishments of your choice
Corner rounder (Optional)
Instructions for Bag:
Step 1
With reverse side of fabric facing up, fold over the top edge about ¼” and sew.
Step 2
Fold fabric in half with reverse side facing out.
Step 3
Sew together side and bottom.
Step 4
Fold bag right side out.
Instructions for Tag:
Step 1
If you prefer to have a tag with rounded corners, do so before adhering the cardstock together. Take your corner rounder and round out each corner of both pieces of cardstock. If you do not want the corners round, then start by taking your 6 7/8” x 3 3/8” cardstock and adhere it to the 7” x 3 ½” cardstock.
Step 2
Using your circle punch, center it about ¼” from the top and punch your hole.
Step 3
Score it at 2 ¼” from the top.
Step 4
This is your tag. Now you can embellish as you wish.
This is what your finished project will look like!
