Gift Bags for Bottles

Sometimes you want to be able to present a gift bottle of wine nicely wrapped, rather than in a hokey paper bag. Even those special gift bags for bottles don't always fit, or aren't special enough, and cost more than they're worth. Here's a quick way to make your own gift bags for bottles out of scraps of polar fleece that you probably already have around the house. (If not, you can buy remnant pieces at fabric stores for very little money.) These bags also have the advantage of being able to provide a cushion for the bottle. The person who receives them can then turn around and reuse them as gift bags on a later occasion.

Step 1: What You'll Need

Scrap piece of polar fleece, about 20" by 20", enough for one bottle.
Thread (ideally one that has a nice contrast with the fabric).
Brown paper grocery bag (you can use any paper, but the grocery bag has some unique qualities that work better for this project.)
pencil
scissors
bottle to be wrapped.
