Bottle Topper Gift

Here's a fun way to jazz up a bottle of ___________ for gifting. (Please fill in the blank with your ideas below!)


The free trimming formula I've designed makes eight toppers with just four 8.5x11" papers.


1. Score 8.5x11 Papers A and B vertically at 5.75". Trim horizontally at 8.25, 5.5 and 2.75". Use a die, punch or craft knife to remove a 2" circle or square from the center of the 2.75" scored area.


2. Trim 8.5x11 Papers C and D vertically at 7.25, 5 and 2.5". Cut each 2.5x11 horizontally at 5.5". Trim the 2.25x11 horizontally at 9, 6.75, 4.5 and 2.25". (I punched a 2" circle from the 2.25" squares to create my toppers.)


3. Interchange the paper colors to create the base of each bottle topper. Then, add elements from your stash and a stamped greeting to finish them.





Keep your toppers handy for a great last-minute gift idea. If you present a nice bottle of Cabernet to your child's 3rd grade teacher with a handmade topper like this, they will really know how much you appreciate them!

Happy bottle topping,
Tricia

  2. A bottle of flavor infused olive oil. (I really want to say Vodka but I was trying to come up with something that someone COULD give their third grade teacher!)
    These are awesome and I shall make some. I have a LOT of summer birthdays coming up.

    1. Melissa, that is a fantastic idea, I just bought a bottle of Garlic Olive Oil that I am in love with. I forgot to mention and you made me think of, Balsamic Vinegar would be lovely too :)

  8. How clever and cute are these! When you "retire" you could make these, laminate them and sell them at art & craft shows, Tricia! A little pocket money. :)
