No Sew Burlap Wine Bag and Place-setting Card

Welcome to our monthly

No-Sew Decorating Showcase:

Thanksgiving Addition

 

Each month, I join in with five other fabulous

Bloggers,  and together we share six

No-Sew Decorating Projects.

Because this is a Thanksgiving edition,

I thought I would make something that

would make a great Hostess Gift.

There are lots of parties coming up over the

next few months, and wine is always my

go-to Hostess Gift.  This project can be used with

any fabric and any ribbon, according to the Season.

 

I started by cutting a square of burlap and two squares

of copper-colored organza.

You want the squares to be able to reach slightly higher than

the height of the bottle.

 

I frayed all four sides of the burlap square.

By the way, wanna see an easy way to cut a straight

line on burlap?

You simply pull the thread out where you want the cut

line to be… 

… and this creates a visible guide for cutting.

Easy huh?

 

 

Ok, back to the wine bag…

Place the organza squares (or whatever fabric you choose)

on top of the burlap.  Place the bottle in the center.  Pull

up each opposite corner of both the burlap and organza until

it is gathered up and around the bottle.  Use a rubber band

to hold it in place.  Then, fluff.

Peel each layer away from each other and pull and pluck

until you get it looking just the way you want it.

Don’t be afraid to cut away any access fabric, as needed.

It’s better to have too much to begin with and need to snip some

away, rather than the fabric being too short.

Next, I tied two lengths of ribbon around the neck.

I found these ribbons at Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts.  

I chose a French-ribbon with a Fall design, and a gauzy

copper ribbon. I trimmed the ends to the length I wanted.

I found these fabulous Fall-colored acorn “bells” for 50%

off at Jo-Ann.  I knew they would make a cute accent.

And finally – another 50% off package of scrapbooking tags

finished the whole look…

I removed the spongy-adhesive backing and hot glued it on.

 

You could even use a plain tag and add a nice thank you message.

This whole process requires no sewing, and takes about

10 minutes to complete.  I never buy the paper wine bags,

when I can whip up this look with scraps of fabric and ribbon

and get a custom look.  

If you don’t give wine, this would also work for food gifts such

as vinegars and oils.

Is there anything better than a super easy burlap project?

Here are a few more variations using scrapbook paper

and a mini copper-colored picture frame…

I framed the small scrapbook tag and using some jute twine –

I secured it around the neck of the bottle.

I love how this puts the emphasis on the message.

 

 

…. and to create something a little more personalized, I cut some

seasonal scrapbook paper to fit the frame and added a silver initial.

This creates too gifts in one…the bottle of wine and a cute

monogrammed frame.

One final project…. look what you can make with

the same inexpensive frames, scrapbook paper and

scrapbook letters…

Personalized Placesetting Frames.

This project took less than 30 minutes, and creates such

a sweet look on your Thanksgiving Table.
