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
